Lattice Card Idea #2

 Alivia needed a card for her 5th grade Teacher, she said she recently had to put her cat down and wanted a card.

A perfect time to try out the Lattice Card again, this time a Trellis Version.

I also brought out a new flower die that I recently got from the Stamps of Life.

I began making a frame with my rectangle dies A2 from Waffle Flower.

I am using the Stamps of Life Powder Sugar card stock.

This is a sentiment strip die from Simon Says Stamp that is the perfect width and length.

After running threw a Wood Grain embossing folder I inked the edges with a Light Grey ink from my stash.
Narwhal from Lawn Fawn.

I am using score tape/sticky strip around the edges of the frame.

Eye ball it.

Cut off edges and save the longer pieces.

I added some more tape and then crossed them.
Added some Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to the centers.

I cut my card base like normal.
After scoring I cut off the other half leaving about just a shy of 1/2 inch.

This created a hinge.
I sand whiched the hinge with the lattice and the second frame.

It creates a see threw design.

Using my Sizzix Side Kick.
I used some Retired Card Stock from Stampin Up.

I inked the edges with the matching ink.
Using Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes - the mini ones.

My glass mat helps with inking and is easy to clean.

Stampin Up dimensionals.

Tucked in the leaves.

Finished Card front.

How it looks flat.
The cat die is from my stash.
Huge Hugs came from a Card Kit from the Stamps of Life.

I added a top flap to the inside.
I inked and embossed just like the front.
Except I used Manatee ink by Lawn Fawn which is a little darker but it works.

Used the extra flower and cart on the inside to bring interest.
I used Chocolate Chip ink for my sentiment stamping.
