A Day At The Beach

Hi friends, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re ready to have some fun this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #360 – Make Your Own Background. I used the Cyndy G SVG Watermelon Milk Carton SVG cut file, and of course the background looks like a watermelon! It’s a box that can hold all sorts of things from treats to jewelry to money or a gift card! And who doesn’t love eating watermelon at a party… especially a beach party?! This has to be one of the easiest challenge themes of all time because there are so many ways to make your own background. I hope you can join in the fun with us!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cyndy G SVG Watermelon Milk Carton SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Kale Green, Granny Smith, Pink Tutu, Pop Tone Black Licorice, and Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock. The assembly was a breeze, and the final step was adding a sentiment sticker from the Carta Bella Beach Party Collection Kit. You can opt to close the top with a clothespin, small paper clip or some other type of closure, but I chose to glue it like a real milk carton.

And here’s one final shot of the lid off the box. How stinkin’ cute is this?!
