Lemonade & Laughter

Howdy peeps – I hope you’re having a super wonderful Friday! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute lemonade-themed friendship card. I’m sure you can guess I’ve been (still) playing with my Cricut – and OMGosh, this was a FUN one. I used the Iced Lemonade Box Card SVG cut file from My Scrap Chick, and even got Ed’s seal of approval, lol! I used quite a few varieties of our cardstock to make this. And I will tell you that I used Basis Gold cardstock and it’s no longer carried in the store, but any dark yellow cardstock would work for the lemon rinds and starburst background layer.

Using My Scrap Chick’s Iced Lemonade Box Card SVG cut file, I cut the card base and inserts from Cougar 110# Smooth White 12×12 cardstock; the glass outline, lemon inside outlines, ice cubes and flower from Wedding Cake 12×12; lemon rinds and starburst layer from Basis Gold; lemons and starburst from Yellow Jacket; lemonade in glass from Light Yellow; leaves from Pop Tone Jellybean Green; glass from Lessebo Arctic Blue; and straw and rectangles from Wild Salmon. I used the Print then Cut function on my Cricut for the sentiment rectangle on the front. Tombow Mono Liquid Multi Purpose Glue was used for the entire assembly.

This was another super fun box card to put together and I enjoyed every minute – from cutting all the pieces through the entire assembly! I didn’t photograph the back side of it, but there’s plenty of room to write a custom message and sign. Love, love, love!
