Lattice Weave and Cuttlebug

Happy Monday!! Today I'm going to show you an easy way to make a simple card with Lattice Weave and your Cuttlebug.


Lets start off by gathering our supplies:
Ruler
Scissors
Bone Folder
Craft Eraser
Pencil
Card Stock (two sided works best)
1. Cut cardstock to 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"

2.Score horizontally to form a top-fold card


3.Lightly draw a horitzon line on card front 7/8 inches below fold. Mark on fold 1 1/4 inches from left side, then every 1/4 inch thereafter, making last mark 3/4 inch from right edge. Repeat again on the line that you had drawn. Starting at 1 inch from left side, then every 1/4 inch thereafter, making last mark 1 inch from right edge.
4. Using scissors or craft knife, cut diagonally through both layers of card stock from each mark on fold to diagagonal mark on line below, making sure to keep cuts parallel to one another

5.With craft eraser, erase line and marks.

6. Open card and lay flat. Beginning at one end. fold every other tab to the left, tucking point of folded-down tab behind next unfolded tab. Close card.
7. Using the With Gratitude die cut cut out So Kind and flower. It is easy to use two different colors of cardstock at the same time, just by placing them side by side where the die cuts are.

8. Cut the saying on to the front of the card.

Here is the card I have done before.  It shows you what you can do to "Jazz" it up!

I hope you give this a try. It's really easy and fun!

Wow!  Hello everyone.  I know it's been a very long time since I posted.  I've had to deal with some personal issues and couldn't dedicate my time to crafting.  But, I'm back!  I have been doing some really fun activities and having lots of fun with Betty from Bettybrett.blogspot.com .  She has amazing Friday try days. Her crops are the greatest.  I'm looking forward to the November one. It is called Candy Cane Lane. I'm even going to teach a class of my own in paper piecing. This class will be the 23rd of November.  More details on this to follow.    I've so missed crafting and I've missed my followers.  I always said " I love my computer because my friends are in it".  LOL  I will be posting pictures soon.  I just need to get this computer set up to do it with. Huggles,  Wanda

Cuttlebug Challenge #48

Cuttlebug Challenge is having a month long celebration for their 1 year anniversay. This weeks challenge was a gift bag and card. For my gift bag I used a clipart from Daisie Company. I burnt around the edges to make it look old. (Little hint here. Don't do it in your kitchen even though there is water so if it get out of hand. It does set off the fire alarm. OOPS LOL ) Then I made the tag with my favorite folder for this project the Houndstooth. Tied it on with my twine to keep it in the same theme. My card I used Dustin Pike Digi-art Colored it with Bic pens and Gel pens. The inside of the card I used Clip art from Daisie Company and used the houndstooth folder again to distress the scroll.
