OKAY!  Guess I am losing it. It is the second shaker card that I created since Christmas.  See Happy Easter card with the little chick….LOL

You are going to see a lot of this stamp set because it is so versatile.  And with summer around the corner what is better than a big juicy slice of watermelon.  Here’s a tip.  Use versamark on the melon slices and then add the melon embossing powder (pg 35 in the mini).  Heat with heating toll and smell the delicious scent of melon.

Supplies:  Stamp Sets; Mouthwatering 125677, Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess set) 122617.  Paper; Wild Wasabi 108641, Melon Mambo115320, Whisper White 100730.  Inks: Melon Mambo 115656, Wild Wasabi 109014.  Embellishments; Stampin’ Dimensionals 104430, 1 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon 1250059, Glimmer Brads 121004, Big Shot 113439, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder 117335.

Copied the idea for this White & Red 4 window card with this Birthday Greeting from a demonstrator on Stampin’ Connection.  I wrote down her name so I could give her credit and I misplaced the paper in the mess on my desk.  However, I do believe her first name is Janis.  Thank you Janis for the inspiration.

I used the flowers in my windows where she used stamped gift boxes.  I also used the framed Tulips embossing folder which she did not use.  I like the idea of just white with 1 other color, it gives it such a clean look.
