Hello Sunshine!

Hello Sunshine! I’m so glad that summer is here, time for summer decorating! Do you ever go somewhere and see a super cute item, and then say to yourself, I don’t need to buy that, I can totally make it. Well that happened to me a couple weeks ago, and I’m happy to say that I like what I created even more than the item I thought about buying. I love taking Lori’s files and changing them up! So here we go!

I started with this Watermelon Flexi Card that you can find here in Lori’s SVG Shop or here in the Silhouette Design Store.

Which I tuned turned into this!

I started with an 11.75″ wood circle that I got at a craft store!

I cut the circle in half. (Maybe I’ll make a lemon wreath with the other half!)

This is the card in my Silhouette. I first ungrouped the pieces.

I deleted everything but the watermelon .. Then I resized it to fit the half circle.

Next, I ungrouped the watermelon pieces and chose my vinyl colors. I did use an outdoor vinyl for this project as I wanted to protect if from the sun and rain.

I cut the black, red and green vinyl. These pieces are so large and basically just a giant sticker that I didn’t even need transfer paper to adhere to my half circle. I put the black down first, then the red and next the green!

They went on with no problem, it think the outdoor vinyl is a bit sturdier and doesn’t fold over on itself or wrinkle!

Next my little slice of watermelon needed a cute saying! I used Hello Sunshine here in the Silhouette Design Store. I sized it to fit, cut the combined words in white and then just sunshine again in yellow!
