We are on week seven of staying home because of the Coronavirus, and I am struggling! Last week I decided to start sending out homemade cards to friends and family to try and get out of my own head and hopefully spread a little cheer. I love how today’s sun cards turned out, and I made the cutest rainbow confetti to go with them. If you’d like to make your own, keep reading!
I wanted to start making cards that were cut into custom shapes, sounds fancy/custom, right? I’m a big fan of my Cricut machine (fun fact, my first job as a graphic designer was for Cricut like eight years ago!), but my office is tiny and it’s honestly kind of a hassle to get my machine out. But this month, Cricut sent me their new machine, the Cricut Joy, to try out. It is super tiny and fits right on my desk so it is perfect for these quick cards.
I’d love to share the files with you to send out to your friends and family. You’ll need to print the sun and rainbows and use my cut files in Cricut design space to cut them out (you can always get creative with an xacto knife or scissors too). Write a nice note on the back of the sun, fill the envelope with rainbows, and you’re all set!
