This intricate Lattice Cover Die is a great addition to your projects and adds so much fun to your backgrounds.
Today’s beautiful card comes from our designer, Amy who said, “Lately I’ve been smitten with pink sunflowers. I have the opposite of a green thumb so this is the next best thing, a card with a pink sunflower.” We love the color combo and think her choice to make it a shaker feels extra special. Follow along to see how Amy made this lattice cover die shaker.
- Die cut 5735D Lattice Cover Die in the cardstock color of your choice. Set it aside.
- Using the same cardstock color, die cut one of the 5013D Nested Rectangle Sm Stitch Dies. Using the next size smaller rectangle, die cut the interior, leaving one stitched frame.
- Die cut your base panel in the same color cardstock.
- Die cut the 5726-02D Large Sunflower Die bloom. I used a pink.
- Die cut the stems and leaves for the 5726-02D Large Sunflower Die.
- Using the Posey Color Fuse Ink I ink blended the interior of the sunflower (with the centerpiece out)
- Ink blend the centerpiece of the sunflower with Pecan ink.
- Go ahead and glue together the stem and leaves.
- Preparing the shaker element. I design my shakers this way to make them a bit more postal friendly since I do not use foam tape. I upcycle stamp packaging and trim a panel that is larger than the base of the shaker.
- Using double sided tape, I securely adhere the excess acetate panel in the back on three of the four sides. I need to leave one of them open so that I can drop in the shaker bits. Once that is complete, I use double sided tape to secure the last flap.
- The sentiment from the 35015 Birthday Celebration stamp set has been heat embossed in Rose Gold on the same color cardstock as my other main panels.
- I go ahead and layer my card together using double sided tape starting with the shaker panel, adding the Lattice cover then the stitched frame.
- Position the Sunflower where you like it and adhere to the card.
- I finish off the card with the sentiment.
