Hi everyone, this may turn out to be a rather long post as I have a card (although I picked a really simple one), the easel tutorial and the weekly comment game winners all in this post for Sunday. The card was an attempt to do a rather masculine looking sample using the basic lattice background die. I had this overwhelming urge to use my PVA glue and dot all the cross areas on the lattice (so I did!) When it was finished and dry, I just wanted to touch it so I decided not to cover them with too much so I simply stamped a sentiment and cut it out with my Vintage Lace accent die (maybe a bit frilly for a guy, but I just love the way that die looks). The rest of the card is just a bit of matting and layering with a pierced edge. I added in a thin mat of white to balance the die cut sentiment a bit, but other than that it is truly a simple, quick easy card to make in a pinch. You can see the black PVA glue dots on the black background below.
It seems that I didn't do this demo enough times as I have been inundated with requests for a tutorial on it. It is really very simple and I have taken a series of pics for you so it should be very easy to recreate. Starting with your cutting plate on the bottom, place a piece of heavyweight card (at least 240gsm, although a bit heavier would be preferable). Place your Labels 28 die with the cutting ridge towards your cutting plate and card.
Next, you are going to lay a strip of card about an inch to an inch and quarter wide across the centre of the die. If your card is not heavyweight enough, you will cut right through this and your card below and it will not work. If in doubt, use two strips of card stacked on top of each other. The point to this is stop your die from cutting this section, but allow it cut cut everything else.
Next, skip a size in your die set and use the next one down (I have shown my set to the left with the largest one missing, then I skipped a size, then the next one is missing) and lay that in place over the strip but lined up the larger die. Tape these in place to keep them straight. Cover this with your base plate and run through your Grand Calibur machine.
The picture to the right is what you will have when you remove your die from the plates and discard the strip. You can see where it has left an embossed area in the centre, but it has not actually cut all the way through there .
Next, Fold the two outside edges upwards from the point where they are attached in the centre.
Place double sided sticky tape in the centre and attach to the back of your card. Depending on the weight of the card you have used and how sturdy the card is, attach it about a half inch from the bottom. You can attach higher if your card weight is thick enough to support your card leaning back further. You can also cut two of the easels and then use double sided tape to adhere them to each other to get a sturdier easel if you chose to do so. Also, this will work with some of the other similar shaped dies too if you do have Labels 28. You will just need to play around with some of the more rectangle shaped ones. I hope that helps but if you have any questions you can email me at americansue1@gmail.com and I will be happy to answer you.

I'm trying to search the Internet to see ifs can find them,but no chance so far.Please enter me for Ally Pally as I would love to meet you and have a chat with you .All for now Hwyl fawr. Sue x x x
This is a great card for a male in these colours but if done in lighter colours would be equally lovely for a female. i love the dots on the coross sections. I watched your demo on tv for the easel so will have to give that a try but it is nice to have a reminder on the blog.
Good morning Sue,
Love the card today, I just wish my Lattice die would hurry up and come. I ordered on pre-order from my usual supplier so should be here in the next few days.
I tried your stand and it works really well I will be using that idea lots I think.

Good Morning Sue,
Simple but effective, could I get the glue dots so uniform - I don't think so, lol. I was so excited when I got home from work yesterday, three parcels, new dies, coconut card, folders, crinkley kraft paper, great stuff, played all night.
Sue, could you tell me if you will be doing the East Midlands Show in October, please.
Congratulations to the comment winners:-p Boo Hoo - only kidding.
Have a great day everyone, off to play in my craft shed now, (extension on back of garage, not a shed)

I bet you are great at icing cakes too! used your easel trick yesterday and it's wonderful not to have to faff about making the front match a card blank. Such a great idea, thank you. My dies all turned up yesterday, whatvacgreatvweekend I'm having :-))

PS well done to the winners of this week's goodies too, Vick xx
Hi Sue, This card is fantastic I love the pearl dots. Very simple but makes a statement. Thanks for the tutorial, it is nice to have something by your side to refer to when trying something new. Enjoy the bank holiday weekend - shame about the weather.
Love Rosemarie xx
OMG Sue you are an Angel, I had recorded all your shows last week and for some reason when I was playing one of your shows my recorder froze the only way I could fix it was to reformat the hard drive which ment all the shows were deleted, I was so upset as I was going to watch the shows again, especially the show where you Demo how to make a stand, I was only using 1 strip of card no wonder it was cutting right through, now today with this gourgous card you talk us through the steps to make the stand, thank you so much, getting back to the card I just love the simplicity and the impact this card gives, I just love using the glue to make the small dots on my cards too, it's time consuming I know but so theraputic, and the results are stunning, the reaction when you tell someone they have been done by hand is wow, it also adds value to your card it realy becomes a hand made card, I think your style of cards which I have to admit I have fallen in love with since day one take card making to the next level,the comments I get from friends and family are always compliementary, I have you to thank for that,have a wonderful Bank Holiday and a lovely week big hug, Shahab xx
Hi Sue,
I don't know about quick and easy - you'd need a lot of patience I think to do all the dots on every intersection of the latice die!! but a very nice card all the same. Thank you for the tutorial, I thought i had it clear in my mind but pictures always help I find.
love from Jackie D
Morning Sue, i hope you are enjoying the weekend.
Lovely card, just showing off the stunning lattice.
I did your easel in 300gsm card and its amazing - aren't you a genuis at times! So easy to do and so effective.
Emma
Thanks Sue for putting this up. another demo that I didn't get to record was the one using the new blossom die - I'm still not sure how you achieved that - when you get the chance could you repeat it on tv. Thanks. This a really lovely die and as usual a stunning card - thanks for sharing.
love lilygee

A great card, not the extravagant style we all love and rave about, but so smart, and useful for many occasions. (Like the prodigal son's brother I always feel such sympathy for, it doesn't get the huge fuss made that others do, but wouldn't we be lost without them!)
Huge thanks for the tutorial, I didn't see this demonstrated, but your instructions are perfectly clear.
Thank you, Sue

Hi Sue, fantastic demo I missed that one last week as well as the one with the blossom die, maybe a wee tutorial on that one. The lattice card is lovely have to give it a try. Have a great day. Take care, Jess xx

Good morning. You are clever - such a good idea and so well explained. Those dies, lattice and flourishes are a must have and look fabulous. Thank you for being such a dedicated blogger. xx

Hi Sue
Great card for the guys but could easily altered for the girls with a flower or two, or butterflies. Got my lattice die yesterday & cut a couple out so will try the dots today. Thanks for the tutorial too. Another one on the rosebuds would be great if you ever get a minute or too!
Hi Sue, Thanks for the pictures of the stand. I had saved the show on C&C, so I can now delete that one! Great card and what patience doing all those dots. How on earth do you get them all the same size?! Hugs, Carol S.xx
Hi Sue,
Thank you for putting up this tutorial it always helps to have something to refer back to. I really like this card, have not got the lattice die yet but!!!! Hope springs eternal. Hugs Ann
Good morning Sue
Wow! what a fab card for a guy!
Perhaps you'll think I'm crazy, but I think the lattice work on the black card has a certain leather look
(maybe it's just me)
Such patience..to put all those little dots on the cross areas..it is effective...great card!
Thanks also for the easel...great idea!
Have a great day!

OMGoodness you are so clever Sue

Hiya Sue
Am loving the lattice die, just like I loved your lattice dies, wonder if the will work together mmm..... Must try. Love your card. Thanks for demo discription. Have a good week end. X
Hi Sue, This is a great guy card!!! But I do need the lattice die to re-create this.....waaaaaahhhh. But on the brighter side, loads of new ideas bursting to come out! I do love this and so as my hubby. Thank you Sue, and congratulations for being nominated. More power :)
Lots of love, Aggie xxx
I have the lattice on order, AND labels 28, so I should be good to go with this one, once they arrive. I have lots of ideas for the lattice. Thanks for the tute, I watched it several times on your shows last week, but it's always good to see photos too.
great idea havejust ordered lattice m bossabilities so will have a play hugs Corinne
Morning Sue, Thanks for the tutorial, I had tried this and cut right through my card so thought I had done it wrong, must have been too thin a card I was using!! Love the lattice work on this card, takes a lot of patience to put all those dots on it, but what an effect! Love Jean x
Such a beautiful card Sue. I am a beginner with Spellbinders and an just building up my collection. Just received by Botanical Swirls yesterday from C+C, wish I had got the lattice one as well. Your ideas are such an inspiration. Have placed my votes for you. Good Luck Alice x
Good Morning Sue,
The lattice background is really great for a guy's card - anything could be added for the focal point. I do admire your patience putting on all those black dots - I wouldn't want to cover up all that work either! Your vintage lace design is fab and I really would like to get this. I saw your demo of the easel on C&C and at first I couldn't figure out what you were aiming for, but when the penny dropped I was amazed. So cleverly thought out.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend (do you ever stop working I wonder)?
Sue

it's a gorgeous card Sue...... and I've got JUST the thing for the masculine centrepiece - the cut tuck and fold angle approach.
Can't wait to use these two together.
Love those dots on the lattice - not surprised you left them 'touchable' :D
Thanks for the tutorial, something I shall definitely have to play with.
Gosh I can almost feel the dots on the card, definitely a labour of love to do so many.
The stand tutorial is good too.. easy to follow instructions and pictures.
Thank you.
Margaret O xx

Hi Sue
Fab way to stand the cards up. Fed up of the plate stand type that always fall down.
Smashing card. Love doing the dots my cards with liquid pearl. Always put one or two dots on a scrap of paper as i finished the card then if they are dry know my card will be. saved many a card hehe.
Yes card looks good for a man. Can always add something personal to your man. Growing to love the lattice die, i have a small one.
Great job.

Love your card.

Oh wow! This is a great card for a man like say as it's so difficult to do something different for them. At least for a woman you can add a bow or bling! Gosh how fantastic doing all those PVA pearls in each section. Will have to get some practice in to get them as good as yours! Thank you so much for the tutorial for the card stand. It's great having the step by step pictures so you can go back to them time & time again. Fingers are crossed for you in the voting stakes....(& legs,toes & eyes hehehehe!)

Lovely card Sue, perfect card for any man whatever their interest.
Got all the POTW demo's onto dvd yesterday apart from the very last show, but I now have 4 hours of just demo's and close ups of the cards for future inspiration which should keep me going (and needing a few more dies) for a while. Tomorrow I am going to attempt the rose from Blossom 5.
Hi Sue
I really like the lattice card, what a labour of love with the glue dots but it so works.
Many thanks fot showing us again how to make the stand that will be used a lot by me because I am doing a lot of things other than cards and they need stands.
Ria

Hi Sue, great card and fab tutorial..xx
Hi Sue, Just joined your blog but have been a massive fan of yours since you created the rubber stamp waste background for the Creative Expressions Safari stamps, I knew you were one to watch! Since you've teamed up with the brilliant 'Spellbinders' stable for me, it's just been pure 'Magic'. You are so inventive able to visualise in 3D the massive potential of even the more mundane looking dies, exciting us to fever pitch with your magical demonstrations on C&C and Ideal World and then continuing to feed our addiction with your wonderfully detailed and inspiring blog. What a hard-working genius your are! So excited to be a new follower. Anne from S Wales x
Hi, can you tell me how I could get the dies ? Who makes them and whar are they called........... just Lattice ? And Botanical ?
Thank you.

An easel! how cool
thanks for the detailed instructions for making this stand. I've made a criss-cross card and wanted to make a stand for it - I remembered you making this on tv a while back and thankfully you've posted a tutorial as I had no recollection of how you did it!!!
thanks again
