Have you been wondering what I have been up to? Well, I've been a busy little beaver working extra hard to give you some great ideas on ways to use the new SU Lattice Die. But I can't share anything with you yet. You will just have to wait like everyone else to see some of the really different (and I think incredible) things that you can do with it. Our Catty Cruise begins on Saturday, July 25th, and you will be amazed at all the wonderful projects that our crew have crafted just for you.
If you know anything about me at all, then you probably realize that I love creating things that are totally unexpected. (HINT: none of my projects for the Catty Cruise are cards...nope, not a single one.) Here's a look at one of the projects that didn't make the Catty Cruise cut.
I used my SU Lattice die to create a lovely backdrop for the sweet little birdie sitting on her perch. It reminds me a lattice screen on a beautiful spring day. (Thanks to my BFF, Nancy Brown, for inspiring me with her lattice idea.) I created a card base with Bashful Blue CS and layered on some Bashful Blue DSP. This particular DSP is retired, but you can purchase similar paper in the new catty. The stamped sentiment is from the level 2 hostess set Wings of Friendship.
A big thanks goes out to my cyber buddy, Cindy Major, for sharing her tip on layering the oval from SU Lots of Tags Sizzlets. Here's how...
1. Cut one each of the big fancy oval in Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.
2. Stamp greeting on the Whisper White oval and trim away the outer frame using the small cuts as a guideline.
3. Sand the edges of the Whisper White oval until smooth.
4. Use the Wide Oval to punch a piece of Bashful Blue CS and layer behind the smaller white oval.
5. Layer both pieces onto the Chocolate Chip frame and mount on card using dimensionals.
6. Use Birds & Blooms and the Little Leaves Sizzlets to embellish the card using So Saffron and Certainly Celery CS.
That's it for now...so mark your calandar 'cause you don't want to miss the Catty Cruise this Saturday, July 25th.
