Square Lattice CS Inlay

Hi Stampers,

Here are a couple of cards done with the square lattice embossing folder.   To get the inlay look with your cardstock, just adhere your hearts or circles to the piece of cardstock, then emboss.   I think this opens up my mind to all sorts of ideas!

Paper Quilting!

Hi Stampers!

When I was at Leadersihp in January I received a couple of swap cards that had used the square lattice embossing folder to transform a piece of cardstock into something really fun.   I decided to do a card using this technique at class, and when I was doing my designing - I thought I would like to try using the lovely Springtime Vintage DSP to make a card that looked like a simple quilt with a bunch of squares.  It was a big hit at class and I was hoping to try making a more intricate design at some point.  I was so excited to see a fantastic tutorial done by Jenna Barber on Splitcoast stampers this week showing how to do this and of course I had to sit down and try it right away.   This is a really fun way to make a card and I can't wait to see if I can come up with some more designs of my own. 

Today I will share my quilt cards - and tomorrow I will show you the other cards we did with the square lattice embossing folder!

 
*Stamping Supplies:

• CS: Pear Pizzaz, Very Vanilla
• DSP: Springtime Vintage
• Ribbon: Pear seam binding
• Big Shot: Square Lattice Embossing folder and Sizzix adhesive sheets

Stamping Tips:

• I just love how this looks like a warm comfy quilt!  I had a 3/4 inch square punch that I used for the squares but you could also just cut them in 3/4 in strips.
• To tape down the squares - we used that new sizzix adhesive sheets which worked great.  Just cut 3/4 inch strips of the adhesive paper, and stick your squares on and them place them on your vanilla cs in rows.

 

 *Stamping Supplies:

• CS: Soft Suede, Baja Blue, Vanilla, Soft Suede
• DSP: Elegant Soiree
• Big Shot: Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Sizzix adhesive sheets
• Accessories: Sanding Block, Stampin'Up! Grid Paper
