Hello clever crafty friends! I'm back again for the two week Bitten By The Bug 2 challenge blog. This time the theme is anything with a banner. I hope you join us in the next 2 weeks. The only requirement is that you follow the theme of having a banner and that at least some of your design be made with a Cricut machine.
Do I have a cutie for you today my friends! This is the brand new file from svgcuts called Lemonade Stand. It's part of a set called Sun Valley Box Cards. You can buy this entire set or just individual files. The whole set is adorable but I really wanted this card so I just bought this file. I love that you can now buy individual pieces instead of buying an entire set at svgcuts now.
The simple but effective details on this cut file are just awesome. Just look at the pitcher of lemonade, the tub of fresh lemons and all the refreshing glasses of lemonade just waiting to be sold to the first lucky customers! Then there are the cute little details like the flower is actually a lemon slice!
This file comes complete with holes for the flower and leaves. I chose a gem style flower brad in a cheery yellow to hold the two pieces together. There is a hole in the flap so you can get perfect placement. There are also holes in the flap for the cording that you'll use for your banner. The cuteness continues on the side where you can see the side flap and more of the details for the stand itself.
The file comes together very easily and simply and also conveniently includes an envelope pattern for it. This is a huge winner in my book. I love the fresh and happy look of this card!
This design could be used for many occasions but it happens that I need a cheery get well card for a friend. On the back, there is a place to stamp a sentiment. I stamped it with Get Well Soon and added some pretty matching sequins with glue dots. I would recommend using something strong like glue dots in this situation as it may go through lots of heat in the mail this time of year and I'm afraid liquid glue may get brittle and allow the sequins to pop off in transit.
That's all for me today. I hope to see your creations featuring a banner over at Bitten By The Bug 2!
