Today I'll be showing you an example of a Lattice Card, which is basically a card with a window front covered with cardstock "lattice". These cards work beautifully when you can see the inside of the card peeping out slightly and, of course, they lend themselves well to beautiful flowers and butterflies. 1. Start with a card blank and another piece of cardstock that is slightly smaller than the front of the card. For example, if your finished card measures 6" x 4" when closed, your extra piece of cardstock should measure about 53/4" x 33/4". 2. Secure the extra piece of cardstock to the centre front of your card using removable tape such as washi tape or magic tape. 3. Using your favourite shaped die, run the open card through your die cutting machine so that it cuts through both layers. 4. Carefully remove the tape. You now have your card blank with a window cut into the front as well as the extra piece of cardstock with the same window. 5. I recently purchased a lovely lattice die from Spellbinders that cuts out these great sheets of lattice perfect for Lattice Cards. If you own a die similar to this you can use it to create your card. 6. For those of you who don't have a die, I'm going to show you another method that involves making the lattice by hand. Firstly, cut some strips of cardstock measuring about 4" x 1/2". You'll need 10 - 15 depending on the size of your window. 7. Place your card blank on your cutting mat lining up the edges with the horizontal and vertical lines so it is square. You will use the angled markings to line up the strips. I have a mat that has a 90 degree angle that I generally use, but if you'd like a more diamond shaped lattice you can use one of the other guide lines. 8. Place a little repositionable glue around the edges of the window on the inside of your card blank. The glue remains tacky when dry and will hold the strips in place while you work. 9. Place the strips of cardstock across the window beginning in the centre. Using the marks on your mat, evenly space the strips until the entire window is covered. (I usually line up the corners of the squares.) 10. Now you need to place the strips in the opposite direction, but this time you want to weave them through the strips that are already there. Under one, over the next, etc., until you have covered the entire window. 11. Trim the cardstock strips around the window. 12. Adhere the extra piece of cardstock over the strips to cover up the edges and keep everything in place. 13. The window allows you to see inside the card even when it's closed, so add a pretty piece of patterned paper to the inside of the card opposite the lattice window. 14. I added a stamped sentiment to the patterned paper that can be partially seen when the card is closed. 15. Now decorate the front of your card with whatever embellishments you wish and your card is done!
Lattice cards, or Braided cards as they are sometimes called, are easy to make and give a very different look.
Good Morning Bloggers! I saw this card here. I made a similar card before. You can see them HERE. Learned that from HERE. It was very difficult to make those two cards so I haven't thought of making it again. But now I found an easier way to make this design. Here it is I mounted all the card pieces that I needed for the card (card base on the bottom then the mounting piece then the top piece) using just a bit of the temporary adhesive to hold the pieces in place. Then I placed my die cut right in the center and ran them through the Big Shot. The Spellbinder only cut through two layers of cards but it leave a good impression on the third card stock. Using a craft knife I cut the shape out and you will have this Take the very top piece and turn it over. Then apply double sticky tape around the shape. I see I only had the tape on the two sides. You should add adhesive on the top and the bottom too. Cut a bunch of small strip papers. Mine were 1/8" and mount them on the tape like this. Don't worry about the excess strips. You can trim them once you are done. Then weave the other strips in and press onto the tape. Cut off any excess strips. Apply more sticky tape and mount it to the mounting pieces (center piece). and you will have this. Then mount this onto the card base. Here is the finish card.

Well this week I am "officially" back to work with my first classes of the year. Very exciting. The first one is this Wednesday night (16th January) at 7.30pm, and we are making a cute little Magazine File folder that contains 4 cute cards to suit different occasions. I thought you might like to see the first card.. they are all very similar, but with different sentiments. I've used the Lattice Die and put a square of Patterned paper behind it. I love the way DSP looks behind this die. The sentiment is from the "Blooming with Kindness" stamp set. If you would like to come along and make the folder and the cards set, the cost for this one is $25. Classes are held on the Central Coast and I can give you the address at time of booking. All materials and light refreshments are provided. Just email me to reserve your spot. To see what other classes are available, click over to the right hand side of this blog and scroll down a little to the "January/February Class Schedule". Here again is a pic of the folder with the cards inside:
