OK. I like Pop-up cards a lot – I really do. But this next style of card from the “Artfully Sent” Cricut™ Cartridge is really incredible – the Scene card. When you see the expanse and variety of this type of card on this cartridge, you will be blown away. For this post’s purposes, however, we will be looking only at the Scene card on the “W” key.
The
Scene card will have two pieces – the first will be the card base, and the
second will be the “accent piece”, if you will. The Scene card on the “W” key
is a tri-fold (dark aqua color in the booklet), and the accent piece is the
light blue (cloud insert). I cut my base in white, but then added several other
colors/pieces of cardstock to complete my “scene” (I cut the card again in
green in order to make the front of the card green & not white). I actually
cut the pop-up piece from last week’s card from brown cardstock and pasted it
over the base-cut deer/rabbit piece – they were almost an exact fit! When the
insert is adhered to the inside of the card, and it is folded up, this is what
the outside looks like:
I
added a little sentiment from the “Cuddly Salutations” stamp set and
paper-pieced the tree branch and bird. Now the inside…
Instead
of adhering the cloud accent piece to the inside of the card, I adhered it to
the back of the front flap. This served two purposes – to make the card front
more stable (it was pretty floppy with just the thin border to “hold it up”),
and to give me more of the inside of the card for a sentiment/signature. I used
a sentiment from the “You Mean The World To Me” stamp set, and the fun circles
from the “Doodled Designs” stamp set.
I had a lot of fun with this card…but even more fun with the next card in the series – the Sentiment card! Tune in next week to see just how easy it is to make those designs your own!
