Happy Valentines Day my sweet friends! I am getting the queen treatment today but wanted to stop long enough to get some blog business taken care of. At long last I’ve finished the Woven Lattice Tutorial! Yay! Even though I have used it here for Valentines Day, it will also be perfect for Easter. I originally created the Woven Lattice in December 2009 and could not figure out exactly how I did it. Well, I’ve figured all that out now and in the making of video created quite a few panels. I can do it fairly quickly now so I created a basket and companion card to give to my Hubby today. When I was thinking on what to do with the panels, I knew that I wanted to use this stunning Waltzingmouse Stamps set (called Seasons of Love) featuring a filigree heart (before it was too late – whew, just in under the wire :-) Claire’s stamps are truly magnificent and this set is no exception. I love, love, love the accent stamps like the little heart flourish that I was able to put on each side.
I created a box with a large scallop for the lid – I’ll share the template as soon as I can get it down on paper. Under each large scallop I used Spellbinders™ Petite Scalloped Circles LG cut in half. For the body of the basket I used Spellbinders™ Scalloped Edge Frame and created four of the Woven Lattice Panels. I used the large heart on the basket and cut it out with Spellbinders™ Classic Heart – I also used Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG to cut out the center oval. For the matching tag I used Spellbinders™ Ribbon Tags Trio Two (with one end clipped off) to make a medallion that also includes Spellbinders™ Petite Scalloped Ovals LG. Keeping it simple, just a tied ribbon around the body and the bow is perfectly framed by the hole in the heart.
Lastly, for the handle I cut a long strip with a Martha Stewart border punch that I lined up to cut on both sides making the handle symmetrical (aha…answering this ahead of time because I know someone will email this question, lol!!)
I created a companion card to go along with the basket. It’s a side open card (which I rarely do) and It has all the same elements as the basket. I reaaaaaallly got into making this set – ahhh the pleasures of stamping!

So you wanna try? Below I have a Guide that you can download that will serve as a roadmap of sorts to use along with the video tutorial. A word of warning . . . this was a very difficult video to produce, I had to reshoot it more times than I care to admit. Please look upon it with a kind eye, I am using the most basic equipment and I think I’ve stretched it beyond it’s capability. You may need to pause the video to read some of the captions because the text capability of Windows Movie Maker is severely lacking.

Now, on to the Blog Candy Winner!

| Congratulations!!!! You are truly an inspiration to many. That is your Gift. #1 on my list is to walk again. I have had MS 37+ years and was recently diagnosed with arthritis. We all get it sooner or later but it’s a poor mix. I’ve walked until a couple of years ago so I’m lucky and God willing, I will again. I am always upbeat. And I’m a fighter. Your blog and all your creations are very important to me and give me the inspiration I need. Peace. Becky Johnson |

Becca, the name of your web site is so fitting! You are truely AMAZING! How do you come up with these creations is beyond me! You are so gifted and so generous to share your talent with us! I will have to give this a try. BTW, How long should your ribbon be before you start weaving?
I think this is the very best project I’ve seen. God has given you an amazing talent. I’m not sure I can so this but I love looking @ it. All the different spellbinders pattern are not available here in Austin that I have found. Happy Valentine Day.
Mary Ann
Wow Becky — this looks more amazing when you show all the steps! I really like the lattice frame die so will have to get one to try this out.
Oh Becca – this just takes my breath away. So so so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas with us.
That has got to be one of the prettiest projects I have seen. So soft and clean looking; I just love it all!! tfs
Becca,
This is absolutely beautiful, you have outdone yourself. Just great
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Okay, now I REALLY know why your blog is called AMAZING PAPER Grace. This is totally AMAZING. Stunning, gorgeous, and all the other superlatives for this one. Thanks for sharing the info on how to recreate it.
Oh Becca!!! I am absolutely at a loss for words!!! This is my most favorite thing I have seen on your blog yet and I love everything you make!!!! s-t-u-n-n-i-n-g!!!!!!! And congrats to Becky!!!
What a fantastic basket. I’m going to have to get that frame and try this. It’s gorgeous as usual. You are so creative and make gorgeous projects. The video was amazing. I think once I get the frame I can follow it. Thanks so much for sharing this and all the other wonderful cards and things. Happy Valentine’s Day to you. Your husband is a lucky fellow.
AWESOME! That is absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!
Amazing, that’s what you are. I guess I will be putting in another order with Spellbinders, oh my. Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and the video. Becky, enjoy!
Hi Becca – I’ve been waiting for this one; could send pictures of the mutilated frames I’ve tried on my own. But you made it so incredibly simple.
I was not able to get to the .pdf file for the template. I think I can work from the picture but would like to make some notes on it if there is a bigger copy.
Also is there a preferred ribbon width (and length). And have you tried it with the double sided ribbon? If so, how does that look?
Thanks again so very much!!
Wow Becca what an amazingly devine gorgeous beautiful creative project, I could sit here all day and just look at it – seriously!
Thanks so much for sharing and for the tutorial!
okay Becca!
I am speechless!!!
wow!
Man!
I wish I was John to get that basket and the card!!!
wow!!!
Love ya!
**Milu**
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Your tutorial was great, too.
A couple of questions…how much ribbon does it take to do the weaving? Do you cut the ribbon off the spool ahead of time or just take it from the roll as you are doing the weaving. I’m actually going to try it and hopefully won’t get too frustrated. Thanks again for taking the time to drawn the diagram and make the tutorial! Happy Valentine’s Day!

I am definately going to give this a try, off to order the frame, have all the others thanks to you And a heartfelt congrations to Becky… My heart goes out to her as a caregiver of someone who has MS..I can truly understand what she is going through since my husband is in the same shoes…
THANK YOU – THANK YOU!!! I just finished my first woven panel and such fun. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been trying to do it on my own. I’d get so far and then I would be stuck. I hope I will be many more of these as it was truly fun. Your basket is beyond words!! Where you get your ideas is beyond me. God has truly given you a spectacular gift! A little late but Happy Valentine’s Day and I’ll bet “hubby” loved your card and basket. By the way, your directions were wonderful – – you did a fantastic job and everything was very clear to me as I was making my panel. Thank you again!!!
Wow, you’re amazing, girl!
You do such amazing creations!!! The Lord certainly gave you bunches of amazing talents…Happy Valentines Day,

Congratulations Becky. I pray you will walk again.
Becca, the basket is so beautiful. I would like to know what is the most common size you do for your cards. I tried to make one of your cards with the cut out hearts & I just couldn’t get the card a good size.
Oh Becca,
I am so awe struck, I don’t know what to say. That basket and card are too beautiful to fully express what I am thinking when I look at it! It has to be the most beautiful creation I have ever seen in the paper crafting industry. I just can’t stop looking at it! My wish is that you make yet another one for Easter as well and post it on your blog! It is absolutely breathtaking! Gorgeous! Stunning!
I loved the commet of the lady who won your blog candy! She sure deserves to be the winner. Oh, I didn’t enter, because I had won on here before. It was tempting though, what a great bunch of goodies you gave away!

Becca, you are dangerous to my wallet! I love this basket and card. I’ve resisted getting that frame, but now I’m gonna have to succumb! You’re video is perfect and very understandable. Hope you know how much your fans appreciate the time it takes you to do them. We do you know! Understand from the Magnolia hop that you aren’t feeling well, hope that you feel better sooner than soon.
Thanks again,

Becca, you are great. Since I already have the the spellbinder scallop frame this is the one time I can say a projec will not cost me anything but time. Thanks for the tutorial and a beautiful project. You are alway a winner.
Wow – everything you make is so beautiful!
God has gifted you with so much talent. This project is amazing. How do you think these things up? I am at a loss for words to describe your talent and all of the items that I have seen on your blod. And now this basket. Keep going. You’re the best!!
Hi, again…
I just love this project. I have this MS border punch, but I can’t figure out what you mean by lining up the paper so as to cut both sides for the handle so it’s symmetrical. I guess I’m just too dumb to live…LOL I tried folding my paper in half and punching, but the paper was too thick.
Can you tell us how you did the handle specifically? Pretty please??? LOL
Thanks,
Jan
Oh, I know just who will get this for Easter!!! Thanks for the detailed video and for the lattice ribbon weaving guide. Did you know that there is such a thing as a ribbon weaver? I use one when I weave ribbons through English smocking on granddaughters’ dresses. It’s a flat plastic “needle”with an eye just wide enough for narrow ribbon! Your head must actually spin with creativity. Simply AMAZING BECCA!
WooW…this is absolutely incredible….I love this!!
Becca, What a good video. The Lattice Basket shows your amazing talent. My question is do you sell your videos ? Would love to purchase this one from you. It is Lovely.
Oh My Becca,
This is absolutely beautiful.
Someday when I grow up I want to be just like you.
(Even though I am probably older than you now) LOL
I love this and pink is my favorite color.
Need to go to HL and get this frame.
TFS.
WOW talk about Gorgeous. the box and card are beautiful!! thanks for the tutorial, guess i need that die now.!!cant wait to see what you do for easter!! hope you had a happy valentines day.

You did it again. You rock!
Becca,
I am just stunned by the beauty of your basket and card. WOW !!!
Hugs, Candy
Words fail Becca. Nothing covers it. pure magic.
Amazing — truly amazing.
Oh my goodness, Becca — I TOTALLY MUST make one (or more) of these — too adorable for Easter, too, I agree. Sigh, now I NEED that punch & that die & sure wish I could have that stamp set! Well, time to save up & clip crafting coupons!!! ;-) Thank you sooo much for being so sweet to do the chart & video for us — that had to be a lot of work & I so appreciate you taking all the time/effort to share such a truly lovely creation with all of us — you are not only amazing, you are amazingly sweet!!!
God has blessed you with an amazing gift. I am thrilled that you choose to share it so freely. Thank you.
This is an awesome basket and card. It is truly a work of art. Thanks for giving the tutorial and the inspiration.
