This card started life as an experiment. I wanted to see if the technique partial embossing with embossing folders would be able to be adapted and be used with the Spellbinders lattice expandable die.
First I cut a shape from a cereal box 4 times and glued them together. The shape used in this card Spellbinders2012 Heirloom Ornament.
To have the shape cut out in the lattice you make your cutting sandwich as follows ( I used a bigshot) white base plate, clear plate, an A5 card folded (A4 card folded in half) with right side inside and the lattice inside the card with the cutting side to the right side of the card, cereal box shape then clear plate.
With this technique you don't have a hole cut, with a lattice glued behind it.
It may be a bit long winded way of making the card but I like the result, I hope you do too and give it a go.
