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!

  • 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!

Pals September Blog Hop: All Creatures Great and Small

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is All Creatures Great and Small. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love the theme of this month’s Pal’s Blog Hop, and I sure hope you do, too! I hadn’t taken out my little Happy Hedgehog and coordinating punch for quite awhile, so it seemed the perfect time to do so! Here is my Autumn hedgehog card:

I wanted to build a little fall scene with my hedgehog, so I used the Autumn Leaves dies to cut out a variety of small leaves from the All About Autumn and Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series papers. Setting those aside, I built my card.

Here are the measurements for this 3″ x 6″ card:

  • 6″ by 6″ Very Vanilla cardstock, scored at 3″
  • 6″ by 3″ panel of All About Autumn Designer Series Papers, adhered to card base

From there, I used the Deckled Circles Dies to cut out two circles, one a little larger, in Very Vanilla and Pecan Pie. I also cut out a sentiment panel from the dies in this set — I love the stitching around the outside of the rectangle! I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, and then heat embossed the sentiment with copper embossing powder.

I stamped my little hedgehog on a scrap of Very Vanilla and punched it out with my Hedgehog Builder punch. I cut a length of the pretty and shiny copper ribbon to drape behind the sentiment panel, and adhered the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I popped up the sentiment panel as well, and then added a smattering of small leaves to the card. I used a couple of embellishments, and I was done!

All the products used to make this project can be found at the bottom of the post. I so enjoyed combining my cute little hedgehog with some new products from the September-December Mini Catalog — I will say it’s one of my favorite catalogs ever!

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month (second Wednesday), when our theme will be The Color Purple. Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Sweater Season is Coming: A CASE of the New Catalog!

I created a card using the “All About Autumn” Suite that was a CASE of the catalog – in other words, “Copy And Share Everything.” This new Mini Catalog is FULL of beautiful samples we can use for inspiration. I found this card on p. 42 at the top. Here it is:

Don’t you love the sweater background? This paper is part of the “All About Autumn” Designer Series Paper set, and every pattern is so pretty. Here are the measurements for the card part, which, when finished, measures 6″ by 3.”

  • 6″ by 6″ Very Vanilla cardstock, scored at 3″
  • 3″ by 6″ panel of All About Autumn Designer Series Paper, adhered onto card base (the sweater pattern)

I used the dies from the Autumn Leaves bundle to cut out small leaves from other DSP patterns in the DSP set and some coordinating cardstock to march across the card, and then I snipped a piece of Natural ribbon at 5 1/2″ and adhered it across the lower middle of the card. I then cut a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock at 1 1/2″ by 6,” and added some die cuts to create the dotted patterns going across the panel. From there, I arranged the leaves all together onto the card.

Lastly, I cut out a sentiment die from the Autumn Suite in Very Vanilla cardstock, and stamped it in Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock. I popped that up on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used a couple of embellishments, and I was done!

All the products used to make this project can be found at the bottom of the post. Enjoy the new catalog, and scroll down for this month’s Host Code for some fun new free product. Click below for a fun introductory video:

But that’s not all – there are some brand new Designer Series Papers available for the first time today. The special release paper options will be available in the Online Exclusives category in the online store.

The Lovely Season of Autumn…

The All About Autumn Suite Collect was one of the first set of products I ordered from the new Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! I recently made some autumn friendship tags for members of my Facebook group who participated in a challenge. The tags were inspired by Mary Deatherage. When sending the tags, I challenged my group to add a card base and send their tag card out for a friend to enjoy.

Here are the measurements for the card part:

  • 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″ Early Espresso cardstock, scored at 4 1/4″
  • 5 1/4″ by 4″ panel of Pretty Peacock cardstock adhered to card base
  • 3 3/4″ by 5″ panel of All About Autumn Designer Series Paper, adhered onto Pretty Peacock.

From there, I created the tag using the largest of the Tailor Made Tags Dies and the All About Autumn DSP. I also cut out small leaves from other DSP patterns from the same Autumn set, as well as the large leaf vein and a Very Vanilla tag ‘ring’ for the top. I cut out a large leaf in Pretty Peacock, and used the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder to give the leaf some beautiful texture. From there, I arranged the leaves all together onto the tag.

Lastly, I cut out a sentiment die from the Autumn Suite in Very Vanilla cardstock, and stamped it in Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock. I popped that up on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals, and added some linen thread to the end of the tag. I used a couple of embellishments, and I was done!
