Nouveau Chic Thank You & the winner of the EZ View Desktop

Posted on: Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

NouveauChicThanks

If you’ve been a blog reader of mine for any length of time then you’ll notice that today’s card is totally not my usual style of stamping. It evolved as a result of Stampin’ Up!’s new Lattice Big Shot die.  The first thing I did when I pulled it out is die cut it out in Basic Black CS because I wanted to see what it would look like.  As I was looking at it, it struck me that it would probably go well with the Nouveau Chic designer paper. So, out came the paper.  I tried all sorts of different combos with different stamp sets using it as a background and a border until it finally occurred to me that it’s very striking on it’s own – that’s when I decided to use the Lattice itself as the focal point of the card.  There’s really not much to the rest of the card – once I decided on the design it was all a matter of layering.

Instructions:

  1. Mat a 5″ x 5″ piece of Nouveau Chic DP onto a 5 1/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Basic Black CS.
  2. Pierce a hole in the four corners of the DP with a paper-piercing tool and foam mat. insert a black brad into each hole.
  3. Mat the DP onto a 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ textured Sage Shadow card front (created out of a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of textured Sage Shadow CS folded in half).
  4. Die cut the lattice out of Basic Black CS using the Big Shot.  Center and stick it onto a 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Sage Shadow CS.  Mat the Sage Shadow CS onto a 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Basic Black CS.
  5. Pierce holes where desired on the lattice and insert a small clear rhinestone brad into each hole.
  6. Center and stick the matted lattice onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  7. Stamp the greeting onto a piece of Going Gray CS.  Punch it out with the Modern Label punch.  Sponge the edges with Basic Gray Classic ink.
  8. Shape the label so that it curves outwards at the center and then mount onto your card using mini glue dots. You’re done!

I love your Lattice card! I’ve been trying to make it complicated, but I think what you’ve done is perfect!

4

What a mod card – I have lots of customers who would love this:) Thanks for sharing!

5

Beautiful card, Andrea!! I just might have to get that DSP after all! ;)

6

I have not gotten this die yet but have been looking at it since I got a new catty in my hand! Love it. I could not figure out for the life of me what color green it was until I read the rest of your pose & the DSP… I have to get out the catalog for that one. That looks really nice too. Love this card & it stands on it’s own just the way it is.

Congrats Katy on winning the table! I am sooo jealous;)

13

I love this card! Thanks for the idea!

14

Wow! I was on the fence about this die, but now it is going on my next order. Love the bling!

15

What a beautiful card. I didn’t think I like this die until I saw this card.

16

OHHHH WHY DO YOU MAKE ME DROOL SO??? lol..

17

Truely elegant and so simple!!! The rhinestones are perfect.

18

I think the lattice die would work beautifully in shimmery white on a pastel card for a wedding. After all, a quilt with this pattern is called a wedding ring quilt!

20

Simple, beautiful card – another fantastic creation!

21

Wow this would make a great stained glass window card. Thanks!

22

okay, would it be wrong to say that this card is sexy?
It totally is, the colours, the texture, the bling.
Completely gorgeous!

23

I LOVE your card! I am really starting to like this DSP and the Lattice die. Thanks for sharing :o )

I really like the “change up” in the last two posts in the style of your cards! It’s always nice to see the different possibilities in cardmaking!

Congrats to the winner! I’m jealous!! Very neat card — I’m not drawn to this paper yet – still trying but I’m not the sophisticated chic kind of person. I should get it just to appeal to that audience though! TFS!

30

wow! I didn’t order this paper, because it just didn’t appeal to me when I saw it, but this card is nice! Love the addition of the rhinestone brads.

31

I’ve seen a few samples of the Nouveau Chic DSP and I have to say, it’s growing on me! Thanks for the great card. I just love our lattice die!

32

This card is very striking. Makes me think of celtic designs.

33

Beautiful! Elegant! I just ordered the Nouveau Chic DSP and now I wish I’d ordered the lattice die too! Next time ;-) . You’re AWESOME! People are going to be getting some gorgeous thank you cards from me :-) .

I love this new die. I think you have done a great job here with the added bling and the way you have framed this- just lovely!
