A Lattice Cross

"...not as I will, but as you will."

Card Supplies:

• Stamps: None
  
• Paper: Naturals White; Whisper White
• Inks:  None
• Accessories:  Big Shot; Square Lattice Embossing Folder ; Lattice Bigz Die; Stampin’ Dimensionals; SNAIL; Paper Snips; Large Pearl Basic Jewels

To create this card:

1. Cut 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of Naturals White card stock (#102316, $ 7.50) in half, creating a sheet that is 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2′.
2. Fold half sheet in half, using Bone Folder (#102300, $$6.95), creating a card front that is 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″. If you prefer, score first using the Simply Scored tool (#122334, $29.95).
3. Cut additional Naturals White card stock to 5-1/4″ x 4″.
4. Adhere Stampin’ Dimensionals to each corner and the middle of the 5-1/4″ x 4″ sheet of Naturals White card stock; adhere to card front.
5. Cut Whisper White card stock (#100730, $8.50) to 5″ x 3-3/4″.
6. Run through Big Shot (#113439, $99.95), using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#119976, $7.95).
7. Use SNAIL (#104332, $6.95) to adhere to top layer of Naturals White card stock.
8. Cut an 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of Whisper White card stock in quarters. Take one-quarter sheet and run through the Big Shot, using the Lattice Bigz Die (#115958, $21.95).
9. Once you’ve got the lattice cut out, look for the cross in the middle of the lattice. See pink highlighted cross in photo below.
10. Use Paper Snips (#103579, $9.95) — the BEST little scissors in the world, by the way — to cut out your cross. I chose to make mine only 3 sections long but you can make yours 4, if you want.
11. Dot Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive (#110755, $3.95) — my new favorite adhesive — to the back of the cross and adhere to Whisper White lattice-embossed layer.
12. Finally, embellish the cross with a single large pearl (#125577, $4.95, Occasions Mini).

Until we meet again…HAPPY STAMPIN’!

And a blessed Easter!

Some things have to be believed…

Easter — or Resurrection Sunday — is a day of celebration because it represents the fulfillment of our faith as Christians. Each day this week I will share a card to celebrate His Resurrection, and the promise of new life, both in this world and the next.

This card is non-traditional…no chicks, no bunnies, no crosses..but the sentiment says it all.

Card Supplies:

• Stamps: Mixed Bunch; Just Believe
• Paper: Naturals White; Lucky Limeade
• Inks: Calypso Coral; Island Indigo;  Old Olive
• Accessories: Blossom Punch; 1-3/4″ Circle Punch; 3/4″ Circle Punch; SNAIL; Stampin’ Dimensionals; SAB brads – no longer available; substitute Designer Printed Brads)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

• Did you know that St. Patrick was born in Britain?
  
• Did you know that St. Patrick was a slave in Ireland?
• Did you know that St. Patrick returned to Ireland as a missionary?
• Did you know that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland?
• Did you know that today we celebrate the feast day of St. Patrick?
• Did you know that March 17 is the date of St. Patrick’s death?
• Did you know that Irish legend says St. Patrick taught the Irish  about the doctrine of the Holy Trinity by showing them the shamrock, using it to illustrate the Christian teaching of three persons in one God. For this reason, shamrocks are a central symbol for St Patrick’s Day. (Wikipedia)
