Guest Stamper, Chris

Our guest stamper for today is Chris

Chris shared these two cards - she said that the technique is called RETIFORM, these are so cool!


Chris not only shared these two cards, she also offered to prepare our Make & Take project for the team meeting.

A couple months ago she shared this card...she called it a TWISTED RIBBON card. Upon my request, she  said that she would share this technique at the July Team Meeting.

When she prepped the card for our Make & Take. Her plan was to make the TWISTED RIBBON TECHNIQUE, but she said that it ended up being more of a lattice technique card.

Here's a little how-to

She started with a piece of Basic White card stock measuring 2" x 5-1/2" and marked it with a pencil at 1" intervals. Can you see the little marks?

Then it is just a process of laying the 1/2" strips own on an angle starting with the first strip that rests on the top mark and angles down to the top of the mark on the right side
Then just follow this all the way down using the same patterned paper

Next you will take a coordinating pattern and layer on an angle in the opposite direction
Then follow down like you did with the first part
You can trim off your edges as you go or do it all at the end.

Here is the finished card again

I decided to try the TWISTED RIBBON TECHNIQUE so here is my card...
The difference is that with the Lattice technique you mark the 2" x 5-1/2" at 1" intervals and the Twisted Ribbon Technique you mark it at 1/2" intervals - both super cute!!
Let's see what you can do with this technique!
My "Happy Birthday" is from LABELED WITH LOVE

Here is another version:

I thought I would give this technique a try with different designer paper
The designer paper is UNBOUNDED BEAUTY 
The color theme is Summer Splash & Petunia Pop
Stamp Set: Layered With Love and the coordinating punch - I think I will add some In-Color gems too
Which way do you like it best? with the solid color in the background or the floral in the background?
I'm leaning towards card #1

I also changed it up by embossing the card base.
