Favorites from 2013

Probably my favorite cards from 2013.
My favorite 2013 accessory - the lattice die!

4 lattice 4 Christmas

I am still needing more Christmas cards, so to be easy on myself I whipped up a few using the lattice die.  I sure love that die and find it super fun to create with.
I combined it with some patterned paper and black layers with a few simple embellishments.
I think I made all 4 in 20 minutes.

Card Class -15

Here are the 3 cards we'll be making at my upcoming Christmas card making class.  We'll make 5 of each card.  15 cards in total.
The class is on Saturday, November 16.
You need to pre-register by Thursday of that week.  There is a limited amount of space.

Poinsettia with lattice

 

I combined some great new things for this card.  The poinsettia image and sentiment from Joyful Christmas I embossed in pewter.  I added a fun embellishment to the middle.

I doubled the lattice (white and gray).  The so saffron yellow strip is embossed with stripes.

 

This is for the layout at Sketch Frenzy Friday.

Layered Lattice Punch Art

I was playing with my lattice die and the windows framelit collection to make this layered "punch art" card.  There are 6 layers of the lattice (white behind tips, green in between window framelits, wisteria rounded with tips cut off, green, white flower, purple center)

I used two layers of window framelits - razzleberry patterned paper and olive patterned paper.

I cut the dotted scallop ribbon punch in half for the edges.

Added a few rhinestones for some shine.

The white "flower" is popped up with a stampin' dimensional.

 

I kept it blank - will be useful for many different purposes.

Retro Lattice Baby

 

Playing along with the Retro Sketches Challenge Blog.

 

Love how this turned out.  Lots of details - embedded embossing (lattice in window frames die), floral fusion flowers with scrunched ribbon centers.  Antique brads, pearls and buttons and two edges!

 

The colors are crumb cake, pink pirouette, blushing bride & white.
