WOO HOO......check out today's card!!!  Last night I whipped up this quick card for today's post.  I had this Flirty Flamingo lattice base, in my scrap box....and decided it would go great with this flowery Ornate Garden DSP!  

I learned to do this lattice fold many years ago! It was probably one of the first technique type things I ever did. I remember adding a little piece of cardstock to the inside of the card, behind the lattice, to make it complete!  Humm.....my mind still thinks that way I guess, because as soon as I added the card stock inside the card- "I was pleased with how it all seemed to pull together"!

So I think that is gorgeous!  Don't you think so too?

You can't tell by the photo, but I added Wink of Stella onto all of the White Flowers in this DSP on the card front.

Over the years I have posted a few lattice cards on my blog.

And.....after I got this all ready for my blog post, I decided I had better go back & recreate the steps on how I did the lattice.  As now I hope you'll want to make one too!  

Just keep reading.......and let me show you how you can make a lattice edge card like this!

How did I do it?

•  5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base. 
• Take a paper template & put along the FOLDED edge for the card front.  I used paper clips to keep it in place.

•  With your scissors, CUT on all of the lines, on the template.  

• Open up your card & lay it down, with the FRONT of the card up- like this.

• Then you will FOLD down each of the tabs.  It will look like this!  Notice how you have a triangle top/point in between each tab you fold down.  You want to make sure you have those triangle points- so be sure it looks like how I have mine folded down as shown in the photo!

• With your scissors snip off this bottom tab.

• It will then look like this at the bottom of your card.  BE SURE that you SAVE this tab.......as you are going to glue it onto the top, front of the card next!

• Add glue to the tab like this.

• Put it directly onto the top front of the card.  It will then look like this photo, once you have glued it on.

• Now take each one of the tabs (yes all of them) & tuck them downwards, so that they are now underneath the triangle top points.  It will then look like this photo when you have them all tucked down. 

• Then fold the card base in half again.  This is what it looks like now that you have gotten your lattice fold done!!  YAY!

• So those of you that stamp with me each month, know that I'm type A.  Yup....and I just thought I had to add this 5 1/2 x 1 1/2" strip to the inside of the lattice to make my card complete.  So I score this strip down the center (at the 3/4" mark).

• I open the card back up.....add a little bit of adhesive to the center (as shown).  I chose to use liquid glue again to do this.  And then I add this folded strip inside this lattice.

• This is what the inside of the card will now look like with this strip glued into it!

• Fold your card shut & this is what the outside of your lattice card will now look like!  
• You are ready to finish it, by decorating it however you choose to do!

WOO HOO!!  

I hope you have fun making a lattice card!
