Splitcoast Tutorial: Basket Weave Card

This week's tutorial over on Splitcoast is a fun throwback tutorial that I have had many requests for - it's sometimes called a lattice card but you'll find it on our site as the Basket Weave Card.


The border is made with a series of cuts and folds - you'll find a template on the tutorial page! I used a free digital image from Whimsy Stamps for my card - this is Oswalda! I colored her in with Copic markers on Canva-Paper and sketched in a wood floor to complete the scene. She's all ready to go shopping! Be sure to keep an eye on the Whimsy Stamps blog for all kinds of fun May events and specials. :)


Hope you'll try out this tutorial too - it's such an easy technique and elegant look!
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. In case you missed it on my Instagram... we got a puppy last week! Meet Mona. :)

  9. What a sweet image (and cute puppy). I went to the site to download the image, but I have no way to unzip, so I guess I'll just have to admire yours. :-)

    1. Did you try contacting them directly to see if they'd email the file? I have a feeling they would do that for you - such sweet people there!
