Summer and sunshine were my inspiration for today's Cricut project, I created this fun beach-themed card featuring a relaxing seaside scene complete with a colorful beach umbrella, a beach ball, a good book, and someone enjoying the view. It makes me wish I was sitting on the sand with the sun shining and the waves rolling in !
This card was designed and cut with my Cricut, making it easy to create all of the layered pieces that bring the scene to life. I had fun mixing bright patterned papers with coordinating solid cardstock to give the card a cheerful, summery feel. A little glitter on the sun and umbrella handle adds just the right amount of sparkle.
I love making shaped cards, and this beach scene is perfect for sending a little sunshine to someone special. Whether it's for a summer birthday, a vacation send-off, or just to say "thinking of you," I hope this card brings a smile and reminds someone to take time to relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures.
My At the Beach card can be found at Cricut Design space.
