The Try a New Technique challenge over on Splitcoaststampers yesterday was to make an Open Trellis Card. It's really easy to make and creates such a fun card design!
here's the YouTube Link for making the Open Trellis by Karen Phillip
The first card I made is one requested by a friend to give to her daughter-in-law for her birthday.
I die cut the stars out of gold metallic paper and then embossed them with a Lumber embossing folder. The name is also die cut.
Then I made a 2nd Open Trellis card as a Christmas card.

Happy 4th of July to all those in the USA! And Happy July 1st to all my Canadian friends!

ReplyDeleteThose are both lovely! Wonderful with the stars and so festive with the poinsettias! I must try making a trellis card.
ReplyDeleteThe trellis open design is so cool. Both cards are fantastic, Julia!! xx
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to try this open trellis technique! It makes such a great background for any type of card! Love the stars and how you embossed them and how the poinsettias look on the trellis!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I haven't tried that technique yet so thanks for the inspiration xx
ReplyDeleteLove your pair of open trellis cards, Julia - such a pretty look! The bday version looks amazing with the embossed stars (thanks for sharing at the Divas btw) and I love the Christmas poinsettia one too!!
