Lattice cards are all over Instagram these days. Design Team member Kate is here with her version of this handmade card idea! Follow along with this attice card template and you'll have a pretty handmade card template you can use again and again.

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!

Last night I whipped up this quick card for today's post. I had this Flirty Flamingo lattice base, in my scrap box....and decided it would go great with this flowery Ornate Garden DSP! I learned to do this lattice fold many years ago! It was probably one of the first technique type things I ever did. I remember adding a little piece of cardstock to the inside of the card, behind the lattice, to make it complete! Humm.....my mind still thinks that way I guess, because as soon as I added the card stock inside the card- "I was pleased with how it all seemed to pull together"! So I think that is gorgeous! Don't you think so too? You can't tell by the photo, but I added Wink of Stella onto all of the White Flowers in this DSP on the card front. stamp set: 'Ornate Thanks' card stock: Flirty Flamingo- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base Old Olive- 5 1/2 x 1 1/2"- score at 3/4" (in middle); 3 1/4 x 5 1/4"; 1 x 3 1/2" Whisper White- 2" strip- stamp words onto & cut out with die; 3 1/4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card designer paper: Ornate Garden Specialty DSP- ink: Old Olive other: Big Shot; Magnetic Platform; Ornate Layers Die; Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo (Old Olive); Basic Pearls; Paper Snips; dimensionals; glue dots; Wink of Stella Over the years I have posted a few lattice cards on my blog. You can click on the links below to see those cards that I created! Succulents Lattice Card! Blooming with Kindness Lattice Card! Celebrate Lattice Card! And.....after I got this all ready for my blog post, I decided I had better go back & recreate the steps on how I did the lattice. As now I hope you'll want to make one too! Just keep reading.......and let me show you how you can make a lattice edge card like this! How did I do it? **If you would like the lattice template I used, you can click on this link to get it! Susie's Template 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base. Take a paper template & put along the FOLDED edge for the card front. I used paper clips to keep it in place. With your scissors, CUT on all of the lines, on the template. Open up your card & lay it down, with the FRONT of the card up- like this. Then you will FOLD down each of the tabs. It will look like this! Notice how you have a triangle top/point in between each tab you fold down. You want to make sure you have those triangle points- so be sure it looks like how I have mine folded down as shown in the photo! With your scissors snip off this bottom tab. It will then look like this at the bottom of your card. BE SURE that you SAVE this tab.......as you are going to glue it onto the top, front of the card next! Add glue to the tab like this. Put it directly onto the top front of the card. It will then look like this photo, once you have glued it on. Now take each one of the tabs (yes all of them) & tuck them downwards, so that they are now underneath the triangle top points. It will then look like this photo when you have them all tucked down. Then fold the card base in half again. This is what it looks like now that you have gotten your lattice fold done!! YAY! So those of you that stamp with me each month, know that I'm type A. Yup....and I just thought I had to add this 5 1/2 x 1 1/2" strip to the inside of the lattice to make my card complete. So I score this strip down the center (at the 3/4" mark). I open the card back up.....add a little bit of adhesive to the center (as shown). I chose to use liquid glue again to do this. And then I add this folded strip inside this lattice. This is what the inside of the card will now look like with this strip glued into it! Fold your card shut & this is what the outside of your lattice card will now look like! You are ready to finish it, by decorating it however you choose to do! WOO HOO!! I hope you have fun making a lattice card! **If you would like the lattice template I used, you can click on this link to get it! Susie's Template I hope you have a great Thursday!! Happy Stamping! Hugs- SUSIE

This colorful, feminine card set definitely makes you think of Spring and Summer! The card set includes two card designs with coordinating envelopes, and three are made of each design. They all fit inside the pretty floral lattice box. Make one as a gift, or make one to keep for yourself. The set would also make a great class project. Isn't this a gorgeous ensemble? The creative Christy Fulk designed it, and her tutorial can be found at Craft Project Central.

I am working my way through my stamp sets that will soon be retiring. This stamp set, Oh So Eclectic makes the prettiest cards. I am not sure I will be letting this one go. I love the window cut...

Good morning my crafty family! I was going to save this one until after the show, but I just love it and wanted to look at it today on the blog. I usually have better resolve, but oh well, I hope you like it as much as I do too. I am really happy with the way that my lattice die looks with the other new winter release Spellbinder dies. It plays nice with other, me thinks! I have used one of the new Embossibility embossing folders for the background on this sample. I'm not going to say any more about them now, you will have to tune in to see the show to find out the skinny on them. How cheeky is that! I have used the new Romantic Rectangles behind the lattice die. These are so pretty and I have several demos planned using them as they are very versatile, just wait and see. The huggy pieces around the sentiment are from the Moroccan die templates, which is another really lovely set. I made the flowers using Sam Poole's Button Floral stamps and added some sprigs, green suede leaves and black decorative stick pins. The ribbon is black American seam binding which is new on the show this time as a full roll. I use this all the time, it is really lovely to use with floral treatments on your cards. I used a piece of black guipur lace from my craft stash, isn't that stuff just yummy! I finished the card with a bit of matting and layering and Cosmic Shimmer black PVA glue dots to give it a fun kind of finish (I can't pierce every time now can I!) All for now, Sue x

Hi all Kristin Hubick from Retrocafeart has asked me to do a tutorial for you all on how I etch metal after she saw my etched metal suitcase necklace from my previous post made using her small brass suitcases from her shop. Those of you who etch metal and adore doing so as I do, would know its very hard to actually etch a 3D object like a working small brass suitcase as the item being etched is floated on the etchant surface not sitting on the bottom of the tray covered in solution... so how to etch just one side and not affect other parts. I digress though...first how to etch at all. I've never made a secret of the fact that the one and only artistic gorgeous Jen Crossley taught me hands on etching...I say "hands on" as I had read how to do it and watched YouTube how too's but learning hands on was the only way I truly KNEW how to do it....my hands are my real teacher in a class situation. Jen has given me the green light to write this too. I know I didn't necessarily have to ask her as its a technique freely available over the web but I wouldn't have done it without her consent....that's just me :o). Besides Jen has become my friend, inspiration and mentor in more ways then I can think of. ETCHING METAL the Basics SUPPLIES • Metal to etch. Works with Copper, Nickel/Silver and Brass. Use .5mm (24gauge) thick sheets • Black sharpie marker. • Straight edged tin snips. • Jewellers saw OR metal bench block and chasing hammer. Cover hammer flat end with leather to prevent it marking the metal. • Hand held metal files. Also called Bastards. • Fine Wet/Dry sandpaper. • Stamps of choice. • Stazon ink black. Ensure the pad is very well inked. • Rubbing Alcohol. I use Isocol available from super markets. • Heat gun. • Masking tape or double sided tape and thin foam sheet. • Disposable plastic flat bottomed containers. One small and one larger. • Ferric Chloride Etchant solution- available at Altronics on line in Oz • Sodium Bicarbonate powder. • Disposable gloves, eye protecting glasses and Apron. PROCESS 1) a-Draw shape to cut from the metal of choice with black Sharpie. Don eye wear protectors. b-Cut metal out with straight edged tin snips or use a jewellers saw. Be careful as the cut metal edges are VERY sharp. c-Hammer the cut piece flat on a metal bench block, using a chasing hammer. The metal block is also known as a chasing block. You wont have to do this if you used the jewellers saw. a b c 2) Keep eye protectors on. d-Using the hand file, file the cut metal edges. Push the file down the metal edge away from you. This makes the edges less sharp. Do both sides. Remove eye wear. e-Wet the wet/dry sand paper and sand the metal in a circular motion or go up and down and then left and right. This creates a tooth for stamping. f-Don gloves and spray some rubbing alcohol on the metal and wipe over with a soft cloth to remove sanded metal shavings and finger prints as they can interfere with the etching process. d e f 3) g-Ink stamp with a wet black Stazon ink pad and stamp image onto the sanded side of the metal. If it isn’t a good image you can wipe it back off with rubbing alcohol and redo it. Of course you can draw a design of your choice with a Sharpie and not stamp if you wish. The Sharpie and Stazon ink resist the etchant solution. Heat set the image with a heat gun. Be careful as the metal gets very hot. Leave till metal is cool again. g 4) h-You can then attach the metal to foam with double sided tape image side up or attach strips of masking tape to the back of the stamped metal. Don eye wear, gloves and Apron. Work in a well ventilated place like outside if able. Pour approx 1cm deep etchant solution into a small flat bottomed plastic container. i-Place the stamped metal attached to masking tape or the foam in the container with the image side down so that the metal is suspended by the tape or floating on top with the foam but in full contact of the etchant solution. It needs to float on the surface so the small metal particles that come off during etching can sink to the bottom away from the etched surface. foam with double sided tape on bottom h Etchant solution i Etching time can vary depending on if you are in a colder climate. Usually it takes 40-60minutes. You can speed it up by placing the container holding the poured etchant solution in a larger container of warm water. It works quicker if you are outside on a sunny day too. To check if the etched process is done lift up a small section of the metal from the etchant bath and run a pinky on a small section. It will feel raised if ready. WASH your pinky well under running water. 5) When done wear eye wear again and remove the metal from the etchant solution. Partly fill a larger disposable container with warm water that has a j-sodium bicarbonate in it. k-Wash the metal in the bi carb solution and also rub the surface with some dry bi carb powder as this neutralizes the etchant solution and stops the metal continuing to etch. Rinse off under tap and leave till dry. lPour used etchant solution into the bi carb solution. It will bubble and then settle and can now be m-disposed off safely at a dump in secure fitting glass or plastic bottles. Do not pour it down the sink. j k l m 6) You can do a few things here as desired...you can add inks to the etched metal, patina it by dunking it in a Liver Of Sulphate solution or use Black Patina For Solder, paint over it etc or leave it as is. Regardless of what you decide to do the next step after that is to n-sand it again so the etched metal looks shiny again and the stamped image will become more defined. You can use a fine wet/dry sand paper first and then a slightly dry coarser one. If you leave it raw lastly wipe over the metal again with Isocol. Seal with metal spray or Crystal kote or other suitable metal sealant. n Well that's the how too so how did I etch a 3D item like these little brass perfume bottles and the brass suitcases? It took me several days to work this out...I'd play with this or that and then leave it on my messy desk. The trick was to make a template in cardstock of the shape, draw that on a thin piece of foam(but wider then the item is) by tracing around the template with a sharpie marker. Then cut out the drawn shape making it deep enough for the item to sit in so only one surface is exposed! As a precaution I also wrapped the edges of the suitcases and perfume bottles with tape before embedding them in the foam as well. Usually I would only use one piece of foam with double sided tape attached that I then attached the stamped metal to etch onto but this time I used three pieces...the one I embedded the 3D brass items (above) in, the backing foam in the middle to make sure the brass wasn't too heavy and the foam still floated on the surface and the smaller piece as handle. So here they are after etching. The second suitcase I already used to make the necklace below and in the previous post. The little perfume bottles remind me of small doll shapes so I am hunting for small doll heads to hack off to use on them...so evil sounding LOL...I have tried two dolls but they are not hollow. May make a mould and try resin yet :o)  Under the door of the suitcase is an Ice Resin filled washer with a vintage image in the base. In the base of the suitcase is a tin type image of a child, a tiny frozen charlotte and a tiny real pencil. Both the frozen charlotte and the pencil are from Retro Cafe Art Gallery. Ice Resin was then poured on top. So there you have it folks etching with metal and how to do so using 3D metal objects. Have fun. hugs Annette In Oz
