Becky's Stampin' Studio: Double Lattice Card

Double Lattice Card

I love the "lattice" die from the last chance Linked Together Dies, and am always looking for ways to creatively use it! I found this sample by Robin Broome that uses 2 "lattices", offset for a neat effect! I also LOVE the colors! It does use a few "retired" items, but it also uses some current ones - i.e. the Textured Notes Dies. While I DO love how it turned out, the center is a little "heavy", so I set out to rectify that! Stay tuned for another sample, using the Wildflower Birthday DSP.

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3" x 4 1/2" (inside frame), 2 pcs @ 1 1/8" x 4 1/4" (stabilize the inside, top and bottom), scraps ("sprigs")
Lost Lagoon: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 3" x 4 1/2" (outside frame), scrap (sentiment)
Very Vanilla: scraps (flowers)
Flight & Airy DSP (SAB) (retired): 2 pcs @ 1 1/8" x 4 1/4"

To Make This Card:

Fold Pretty Peacock in half. Die cut rectangle opening in the front of the card with the "lattice" die. Keep this cut out piece.
Die cut another "lattice" from Lost Lagoon.
Layer the 2 "lattice" pieces together using Multipurpose Glue. (I should have offset mine just a little bit more.
Next, die cut the 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" Textured Notes Die from both Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.
Take the card base and insert a Silicone Mat inside to protect the cardstock.
Insert the "lattices" from behind. There is just a little "lip to catch the opening. Then, take the Lost Lagoon "frame" and glue outside edges over the "lattices" and to the card front.
Flip the card over and repeat on the back side with the Pretty Peacock layer.
To help with stability, Robin had us add 2 pieces of Pretty Peacock above and below the opening from the inside.
Now, you can add 2 pcs of DSP to the front as well. You may need to trim these to fit YOUR card.
The card base is finished!
Cut a small label from the Textured Notes Dies. Stamp sentiment of your choice in Pretty Peacock ink. Add card front with Dimensionals.
Die cut 8 "flowers" from Very Vanilla cardstock using one of the flowers from the Linked Together Dies. Layer 2 flowers together creating 4 flowers.
Die cut 1 large and 2 small "sprigs" from scraps of Pretty Peacock.
Add large "sprig" first to front "lattice". Tucking the bottom into the "frame", and gluing to the "lattice" in crucial junctions.
Add one small "sprig" in the same manner.
Add 3 "flowers" to front, as shown.
Add "sprig" and flower to the inside, if desired.
Finish with Petal Pink Gems from the retired Solid Faceted Gems
