summer travels

For quite a while now I have been wanting to try a lattice style card, but other things got in the way. Finally today I sat down to make one and this is what I came up with. As You See It wants a summertime style card and what we like most about summer and I thought travel was a good choice. We don’t camp although we do go boating and we love to travel when we can. Then JUG’s is asking us to CASE a designer and I chose Lisa E’s Trellis card but did mine as a cross over style lattice.

The camper, sun and cloud are Doodle Pops Stickers that came in a mystery box sometime ago. The bird is a left over from a Sizzix die cut that I sponged gently with left over inks and the circle die cuts are also left overs from other projects. I chose not add a sentiment for now but when I do it will be behind the circles.

This wasn’t a difficult card once I understood how it went together, but it does require a little bit of fiddling to get things right. I’m quite happy with the end result and may do a few more like this when I have the time. I really need to clean my craft room as it is pretty messy and I’m not finding things easily. That is a sure sign I need to tidy up.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone is staying safe considering the temperatures in some places.

  1. Good job on your cross over. I have made the other kind of lattice, but not this one. Bibi Cameron showed this style in her video. Your travel theme is fun!

  2. What a fun lattice background! It kind of looks like roads for the little camper van… which way do we turn for adventure! Cute card Johanna, thanks for CASEing mine! So happy to have you joining us at Just Us Girls this week!

  3. Travel and holiday are indeed some of the nicest parts of summer. I like your lattice card style – I’ve not made one like this before and it looks really impressive! The van, with its shiny wheels, is perfect. Thanks for joining us again at As You See It.

  5. Thanks Gerry. It isn’t hard but does take a bit more fiddling to get it right. Mine is slightly smaller than it should be because I cut my strips a bit short and didn’t want to waste them.

    1. Thanks. I’m sure you would make a fabulous one when you give it a go. The folds are slightly tricky but once you figure it out you’d have no trouble.

  7. Johanna, that lattice makes me think of an adirondack chair, another summer favourite! I love all the summer symbols you have combined at the nexus of the lattice. Thanks for filling in our blank at As You See It Challenges!
