LATTICE OF LIFE

 

Hello my stamping friends, 

One design that consistently catches the eye is the lattice card with cascading flowers.

This design isn’t just visually stunning—it tells a story. It merges intricate geometric shapes with nature’s organic beauty, creating a card that feels both sophisticated and charming. Let’s dive into what makes the lattice card with cascading flowers so special, and why it might just be the perfect card for your next project.

 The beauty of a lattice card with cascading flowers lies in its understated elegance. The intricate design doesn’t need to be overly embellished; the natural beauty of the flowers and the geometry of the lattice speak for themselves.  I also forgot to mension the this card is also a Z-fold.

Here is the measurements I use to make this card;

card base:  4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 2 3/4, 5 1/2

Insert:  white cardstock 3 1/4 x 9 and scored at 2 1/4 , 4 1/2, 

for the front

pink DSP: 3 x 4 1/4 layer this goes on top of the white cardstock.

green DSP:  2 5/8 x 4 , this goes behind the Trellis. 

die-cut some flowers and sprigs and use it to embellish the 

trellis.  Add a sentiment of your choice.

the middle of the flowers have a small clear gem, that gives the card some character.

Toadily, Ana Raposo

Anniversary Roses

Hello, my friends. I am coming here today to share my Anniversary Roses with you.

I had so much fun making this card especially when my favorite roses are yellow.

Materials I used:

I used the Layers of Beauty stamp and die set from Stamping Up.  That came with stencils.

These roses and leaves were done by using garden green ink along with Pineapple punch ink, I used a brush for each color and stenciled the colors following the number on the stencils.  Oh, that was so much fun.

I used the Radiating Stitches dies border for the dies and Deckle dies.

I used a new embossing folder called Starstruck from Stamping Up. What a cute embossing folder that is and so dainty, it looks like small daisies.

I opt to use yellow, green, and white card stock paper for the card.

Hope you like my card as much as I do.  Thanks for dropping by, see you soon.

Now I am going to play some more with another color. He He He.

FILLED WITH CHEER

 

On Sunday, I played with fun with cheer stamp from Stampin Up, and let me tell you it was a lot of fun.

I used Navy blue cardstock measuring 4 ¼” by 5 ½” and topped it with a white cardstock measuring 4” by 5 ¼”.

I also used a strip of designer paper measuring 1 ¾’” by 5” that coincided with the base color.

You will also cut a 3 ¾” by 3 ¾” piece of navy blue card stock and glue it to the center of the card.

Next, you will stamp your filled-with-cheer snowman on a 3 ½” by 3 ½” piece of white cardstock. I also stamped the sentiment below the snowman color it as you desire and glue that to the top of the navy-blue square.

All you need to do now is embellish it and finish the inside as desired.

yours truly,

Ana
