Summer BBQ

Hello 12 x 12 Cardstock Shop Fans!  Christi here from Scrapping For Tranquility with another fun collaboration with Dreaming Tree.
This month I decided to use a couple of their free files so you get to see what I did with them and you get to download them for free also and do something fun also!  Here is what I made!

Watermelon Snack Bowl and Watermelon Card. These are not a pair but separate SVG files and I thought what a cute set to put together!  I am making the watermelon cards my Memorial day BBQ invites!  On the table I am going to have the little watermelon bowl.  I just loved the summer feel of these and when I stuffed the bowl with strawberry candies it set it over the top!  Just an FYI, one regular bag of the strawberry candies fit into the bowl!  Oh, we can't not mention that envelope!  It is soooo stinking cute!

Well of course I used all 12 X 12 Cardstock Shop Supplies!

Let's take one last look at my project.  Give yourself  some inspiration to put on that fun Summer party this year with these cute party decor or just make the card to brighten someone's day!
While I am here I want to know if you have have any run off glue on your projects?  You know....lets say , the project I just made I was putting the seeds on and got too much glue on the back of the seed and when I put it on all this glue came gushing out!  UGH!  I really hate that! There isn't much you could do but just hope it doesn't show up when it dries.  BUT........There is something you can do!

Here is a spot of glue on my cardstock.  I am going to let it dry.

Taking ONLY white pencil eraser, like these I bought at Hobby Lobby.  I keep one on the end of my pokey tool.

You are going to gently erase away your glue, once it dries.  If you  rub too hard you will wear your cardstock away.  hahaha

Here is my cardstock without glue on it after I "erased it."  

I hope that gives you a little help with your papercrafting.

Until Next Month,

Christi
