Lattice Card

 Here is the tutorial for the Lattice Technique. I love this technique! Thanks to BiBi Cameron who developed this technique. There are written directions below and a video tutorial as well.



Materials:

Stamps: Pansy Patch stamp set

Paper: Basic White, Thick Basic White

Ink: Melon Mambo

Tools: Pansy Dies, Washi Tape or other low tack tape


Preparation:

  • Thick Basic White 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card base

  • Basic White 4-1/4 x 5-1/2

  • Basic White 8-1/2 x 1/2 six strips


Assemble Card:

  1. Dry fit first before gluing. Place one strip with the edge on the corner of the upper right of the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 Basic White piece in a diagonal direction. Place the next strip with a gap in between the strips approximatly 1/2 inch-ish. The last strip should touch the bottom right corner. Adjust strips as needed, leaving ends out beyond the top and bottom of the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 cs.

  2. Hold the strips in place with a clear block, then use washi tape or low tack tape to hold the strips in place. Then run adhesive across the back of the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 cs. Fold the top strips back behind the large piece of cs and secure in place. Trim of any excess.

  3. Repeat step three using the remaining strips on the right hand side.

  4. Once all six strips are secured in place, trim the bottom pieces so they are flush with the bottom the larger cs.

  5. Adhere the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 with the strips to a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 THICK Basic White cs.

  6. Stamp and diecut for embellishment as desired.

Pretty Pansy

 Pansies are no longer blooming here in Carolina. They are a winter and spring flower for us. Thankfully, I can have pretty pansies to look at any time I like with the Pansy Patch bundle. On this card I used the border dies to create an interesting edge. The coordinating DSP and ribbon add such a nice touch.

Corner Fold Card

 I learned of this fun fold from a fellow Demo in the UK, Claire Ottaway. It's a great card to use with our double-sided designer series paper. Here is a FREE PDF file of the tutorial with diagrams.



  1. On the long side of the card base, with the fold at the top, place a tick mark with your pencil 3-1/2” from the edge.
  2. Rotate the card base so that the short side is at the top. Place a tick mark with your pencil 2-3/4” from the edge.
  3. Score a line from one tick mark to the next. Be sure to go over it a couple of times so that it will go through both pieces of cardstock.
  4. Use a bone folder to press the scored triangle to the inside of the card base.
  5. Cut three panels, two from Designer Series Paper and one from basic white cardstock 5-3/8” x 4," white and two different patterns of DSP: follow the same procedure as on the card base. On the long side place a pencil tick mark at 3-1/2” from the edge. On the short side place a tick mark at 1-1/4” from the edge. Cut from one pencil tick mark to the other.
  6. To cut the triangles for the inside fold-in pieces, cut a rectangle 3-1/4” x 2-9/16,” then cut from one corner to the opposite corner. If the pattern is directional, you may need to cut an additional triangle.
  7. Decorate the top left corner on the front cover by gluing pansies on the bottom edge. Be sure the flowers do not extend beyond the size of a 4-1/” x 5-1/2” card.

Two More Styles of Calendars

Here are two more styles of calendars using the new Days to Remember stamp set. The first one is made just like the Mini Album Calendar, except the stand is stationary. It's not made to close into a album. The second one was inspired by Fellow Demo Gez Carpenter from the UK.  I had never thought of having each calendar being a small page that would then flip over. How fun! I made my stand and base differently though. Edited to add photos of the rest of the months in the chipboard calendar. 

This one has a chipboard stand

This one has a cardstock stand, the small calendar pages flip over
