How to Lace

[Dolphin]

How do you cut the cardstock to make the lace look?

I'm not quite sure what you are talking about. Could you explain just a little more, please. I think that would more responses to your post.

Sorry new to this. I saw a card in the gallery called "Lace' happy anniversary" . I don't know how to link to the pic. I says lace papercutting.

I found the card - here's a link:

Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

Lace' papercutting is done with special brass stencils and a craft knife. You cut along the cut lines and then fold the pieces back on themselves; works best with double-sided paper.

Here's a link to a site where you can buy the templates - scroll down a little and you'll see basic instructions of how this works.

I've seen the templates in several local stamping/scrapbooking stores as well. You can try this without the template by just printing out a picture of one of them and using it as a pattern (I did this once when I was trying to figure out exactly how these work), but if you want the nice crisp, uniform lines you're seeing on the card, you'd want the templates.

Thank you so much

The card you saw on SCS was mine. I'm sorry I should have been a little more informative. They are very easy to do with the templates. I purchase my templates from POP-UP'S by Plane Class. They are out of Iowa. the website for them is www.popuptemplates.com. That is also where I purchase the vinyl stickers from. If you go to there site they have everything you will need for these cards. They are just super on shipping quickly. I have met the man personally that sells them at the Syracuse Stamping Expo. He is a great guy. I feel he has the best prices and quality and selection on the stickers I have found anywwhere. You canorderthem right on line . I went to the site that Cheryl found and I noticed it is from the United Kingdom. I think it is much easier ordering in the US.There are so many interesting templates and you can order idea books as well.The address for this is: POP-UP'S by Plane Class,230 Brougham Rd, Robins, IA 52328- Phone and fax is 888-750-5276. If you need any help don't be afraid to contact me. My e-mail is [email protected] or you can PM me on SCS. Hope this helps you some.

Hi Jackie! Thanks for the great info on where to find the templates. I just googled and linked to the first site that had pictures of how they worked; never even checked where it was from.

Your card is just beautiful - I've been intrigued by these for some time now, but there always seems to be something at the shop that I think I need more!

Hi Cheryl, You aremost welcome and I hope it will be of some help to you. I know if you try it once you will like it. There are so many different template designs. I was the same as you I always looked at them and thought I can't do them or there were other things I wanted more. Once I tried them I really love making them and they aren't really difficult. I always get lost of oohs and aahs when I give one to someone. Good Luck!!

Another name for something similar is diamond folding. I bought templates from Hot Off The press. They make beautiful designs for scrapping or card making. Nancy
