1. Cheery Summer Signs

These fun summer signs were made with scrap wood from my garage and permanent vinyl that I cut with my Cricut. Since I had boards of different sizes, I measured and scaled the graphics in Cricut Design Space to fit each.

First, I sanded and painted the boards, then I layered the cut vinyl pieces for each sign onto a single layer of transfer tape for easy transfer.

They came out great, and I love that I could use supplies I already had on hand. Check out the summer graphics used to make them in my Etsy Shop.

They each have layers of vinyl color like the USA sign with a cherry pattern in blue, white, green and red. There's also small shelf sitter signs like two cherries with a star pattern and a blue bowtie at the top, a strawberry festival signs, a strawberry pint, sweet summer patterned strawberry signs in red, green and pink and a USA popsicle sign in blue, red and white.

3. Two Signs to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

I cut Cricut stencil vinyl for these signs, but decided to stick to permanent vinyl for the tiny menu type. Sometimes you have to combine techniques!

5. Large Sign On A Budget

I found this 18-inch wood round at Goodwill for four dollars and thought I would repurpose it into a new sign for my Christmas in July booth reset.

After sanding and painting, I took a little time to think about how to cut the vinyl. Some of the elements were wider than my Cricut mat, so I cut the design into pieces. I also added triangles as registration marks to help me line up the vinyl pieces and get everything centered.

The vinyl cut on a Cricut Maker 3 shown here in pieces. Santa required three cut vinyl pieces that will be put together like a puzzle on the sign. All in red and seamless. The blue type was also cut on two layers and will be pieced together. Cricut cuts only up to 11.5-inches so breaking the image into smaller layers was necessary to make this large sign.

To finish, I sprinkled in some retro charm by stapling on vintage Christmas lights that I picked up at ReStore last year! A little over the top, but I think Christmas in July is one of those times where you can dial up the kitschy.

The Santa is a fun, thick varied line illustration all in red. Above in light blue type on a curve is the work CHRISTMAS in a friendly marker thick type and in July in an easy to read, friendly script type. The sign has been painted a light blue that is slightly lighter than the light blue type. Around the edges of the sign are colorful vintage Christmas sting lights with red, green, orange, and blue vintage bulbs.
