It was so nice to enjoy a few low humidity and cooler temperature days recently. Actually, it just made me that much more ready for Fall, and that's what gave me the idea for this suitcase card. At first glance, you might have thought I was ready to pack a suitcase and run off to some warm, sunny, tropical place but, no . . . I'm just inviting Summer to pack her bags and move on out. Anyone who has visited my blog for a long time already knows how much I adore shaped cards. I designed this one using Cricut Design Space and then cut all of the pieces (it was a handful). For the first time, I used six print-then-cut images, which is more than I've ever used at one time. Since I made about six of these cards, the process involved a lot of cutting and assembly.
The above photo shows the inside, which was the main card base. The front of the card had a Crumb Cake layer, and the inside had a white cardstock layer. The two images on the inside were print-then-cut images. They look quite nice, huh?
I'm not even gonna lie . . . I fall in love with my Cricut machine all over again each time that I use it. Designing cards is easy, and it seems that there is always a huge abundance of shapes and images to use. Being able to press a button and have everything cut while I do something else is quite enjoyable. In the above photo, you can see the tag, which the Cricut not only cut but also did the writing. Notice the texture on the Crumb Cake cardstock layer? I inked the inside of the embossing folder with ink, and it really made the texture stand out!
Above is a view of the card from the top.
And below is the front of the card again:
So where do you stand on the Summer/Fall debate? Want more Summer or ready for Fall?
