A Lattice Card with Two-Tone Flora!

I recently tried a lattice card to use in our Stamping Club. The lattice cards have been very popular lately, and it really was a lot easier than I thought it would be!

I got the layout and instructions from this video: Kathy’s Random Acts of Stamping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObIKjXuwhYM

Here are the measurements and instructions:

• Thick White Cardstock 4 1/4” by 11”, scored at 5 1/2”
• With your trimmer, cut 3 1/4” off the bottom of one side of the card.
• With the piece you just trimmed off, cut strips in 1/2” lengths, and cut the last piece into two 3/8″ strips. I embossed the strips by putting them all into the Timber 3D Embossing Folder to give them a ‘wood’ look.
• Lay the card out with the short side up, and then put a strip of washi tape down the back of that short side, sticky side up. Then place the horizontal planks you just cut down the washi tape at an even distance from each other to create the fence, and then the two smaller planks with glue going down the two sides of the card vertically to keep the whole card together.
• The colored cardstock panel that goes onto the back of the card front is 4 1/4″ by 3 1/2” and was simply affixed with adhesive to create a solid looking front that wasn’t see-through.

I stamped a number of flowers from the Two Tone Flora Bundle onto scraps of Basic White cardstock, as well as some leaves, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I stamped a few dots on the top of the card as a background, and then affixed the flowers to the card so they tumble down the fence. I finished with some Brushed Brass Butterflies! Very fun!

I hope you give the lattice card design a try. The video is much easier to understand than my written instructions, and you can find many tutorials on YouTube. Thanks to Kathy for hers!
