Nothing says summer like a big ol' watermelon (it's my guilty-please this time of the year for sure). I thought they'd make the cutest watermelon-themed summer greeting cards. These free printable cards are perfect to send summer greetings across the miles. Download your favorite design below.
Summer is the perfect time to send greetings...we all have a bit more time (well, that's the hope, right?). So, why not catch up on a few snail-mail style notes? Who wouldn't love a surprise message in their mailbox. These new watermelon-themed summer cards are the perfect way to send your greetings this season.
Free Watermelon-Themed Summer Cards
There are two fun and fruity designs in today's card set. The one on the above left is piled high with melon slices. And the one on the above right has lots of "floating watermelons". This "floating" version will save you a bit of ink. But both cards are perfect all season long.
Printing and Using Your Cards
- These free printable summer greeting cards are for personal use. However, if you own a small business or shop and would like to carry the physical, printed version of the cards (no digital reselling of any kind is allowed), you can purchase a commercial license here.
- Make sure you only print greeting cards of this kind onto letter-sized white cardstock paper. Regular paper will be too thin for printable cards and the corners will curl.
- You can buy a pack of letter-sized white cardstock here on Amazon. It's where I purchase my own packs of cardstock. Always buy the cardstock labeled 100+lbs (this isn't the quantity you're purchasing, this refers to the paper's actual weight).
- After printing out your cards, you'll cut around the outside of the small green hairline that surrounds the perimeter of the card. You can use scissors or even a paper cutter for this. Personally, I like to use my Fiskars Paper Cutter-- it makes quick work of cutting out cards and keeps the edges nice and straight.
- Once your greeting card is cut out, fold it in half.
- This is an optional step, but makes for a nice touch: I take the handle of my scissors and run it along the fold of the card. It removes wrinkles in the cardstock and gives the card a crisper, more polished look.
- And everyone's favorite part: don't forget to write your own sweet greetings and sentiments inside of the card.
- Envelope information for these cards is available below.
Envelopes for Your Cards
These free printable watermelon greeting cards are designed to fit into a standard size A6 envelope. A6 envelopes measure 4 3/4" x 6 1/2". I grab my A6 envelopes through Amazon (they have the most colors and options to choose from...even over my local office-supply stores). I have listed a couple of specific options below on Amazon for today's printable greeting cards:
