DIY Lemonade Card Idea

Hi there. Dorlene here to share a refreshing summer card with you using the Lemonade SVG cut file. You may notice that this file includes both your standard and pink lemonade in both a pitcher and a glass (that’s four files in one).

I decided to use the standard lemonade but the glass image only. When I uploaded the file into Cricut Design Space, I ungrouped the entire image and then deleted the pitcher image.  This removes the pitcher from the canvas but not the upload.

This image uses three different shades of yellow, two shades of pink and two shades of blue. Since my image was less than 4”, using cardstock scraps was perfect for this!

As always, I place each piece together before adding adhesive.  I do this so I know exactly where things fit and most importantly, so I won’t apply adhesive to the wrong side.  This prevents unnecessary glue residue and mistakes.

Then I adhered all the pieces together using liquid adhesive and tweezers.  It’s hard to tell, but I used 3D foam adhesive to attach the lemon slice on the left hand corner.  This gives the image a little dimension.  Even though the file includes white highlights, I did add a few more using a white pen.

Some summer themed patterned paper, a punched circle and letters completes the card.  It looks so refreshing and ready to drink!

I love the contrast of the black letters in ‘Hello’.  I think it really pops against these cool summer colors.
