I work at a social club in a 55+ community, and one of the sweet members brought me a homemade mini loaf of pumpkin bread last week that was so delicious! Naturally, I wanted to send her a thank you card, and I thought something fall-ish would be appropriate. I used Cricut Design Space to create a crate card, complete with a pumpkin, colorful leaves, and a sweet little fox.
All of the images (except the layered hearts) were Print then Cut images. They are too easy to use, and I have been addicted to using them all summer. On the fox's banner, which was adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals, I added a text box for the word "thanks!". That's just one great thing about Print then Cut images--they can be personalized. The heart "charm" is actually three cut hearts adhered together, and they were tied onto the pumpkin stem with Linen Thread. As you can see in the photo below, this was a side-fold card:
I knew that I would need a white panel on the inside of the dark brown card, and behind that layer was the perfect place to adhere the colorful leaves. Don't they look nice sticking out from the top of the crate?
I didn't think the card needed too many embellishments, so I chose three metallic sequins and then placed a tiny rhinestone in the center of each.
This card came together quite quickly, and working on it has only made me even more ready for all things Fall. Since today is the official first day of Autumn, it seemed to be perfect for this blog post.
Happy first day of Fall/Autumn!!!
