I wish I could hit the beach soon, but this summer, it’s looking like I’m going to have to settle for an above ground pool. 😂 At least I can wear a sweet new beachy tank top while I’m relaxing poolside, right??
Today I am teaming up with some designer friends to bring you a collection of 8 free summer inspired cut files (keep scrolling to find all the designs).
My contribution is a brand new free SVG cut file design inspired by that retro beach/surf aesthetic. Despite the retro inspiration, I think this design has a really modern look and would be perfect for a custom t-shirt, tote bag, decal, or piece of wall art.
The design comes in either a multi-color version (see the tote bag) or two-color version (the tank top) for easier vinyl layering (you can read more about how to layer heat transfer vinyl here or adhesive vinyl here).
You could also print off the multi-color design on printable vinyl for a super easy multi-color decal. (Read all about making your own decals with printable vinyl right here.)
PLUS if you are looking for awesome beach-y designs, then you need to check out my new Endless Summer SVG Cut File Bundle! I love all of these designs, and I think you will too!
