Whatever Wednesday - Lattice Quilting

A handmade quilt is a thing of beauty.  So is a handmade quilt card.  Tonight at stamp camp the ladies made six cards, one of which was today's card post.

NOTES:

stamp set:  2011/2012 IB&C Faith in Nature Hostess Set (on page 15 of the new big catalog!)
cs:  So Saffron, Always Artichoke, Whisper White
dsp:  retired Le Jardin dsp (retired 2008 IB&C)
other:  Big Shot diecutting machine, Lattice Bigz Die, Textured Impressions Square Lattice Embossing Folder, 2-way glue pen, Stampin' Dimensionals
How did she do that?  First, I die cut a lattice with the Stampin' Up Big Shot Lattice Bigz Die from both So Saffron card stock and Le Jardin double sided designer series paper.  The So Saffron lattice is adhered onto an Always Artichoke cs square.  Then, it's time to insert the tiny quilt pieces of dsp into the So saffron "puzzle base", just as I would put a jigsaw together.  The 2-way glue pen works well for this task - just a dab under each puzzle piece is all it needed.  The last step is to crank the completed quilt "puzzle" through the Big Shot machine inside the Square Lattice embossing folder.  That last step is called "embedded embossing", because the process actually embeds the little pieces into the base.


Wouldn't this card be a fantastic choice to give to a quilter or seamstress, or to a quilt collector?!
