Another take on the faux lace

I was having one of my stamp clubs on Saturday and a few of the girls were commenting that the faux lace technique was really a little too hard for them so one of the girls cut her strip in half and did a double layer with the crimped piece and it looked great so this method is much easier but still gives a beautiful look.  So, we can credit one of my customers (Brenda S) for coming up with this easier version. I showed it to several of my other classes and about half of the girls chose the double layered look. All you have to do is take an 11 x 1 1/2 inch piece of cardstock, punch a border along one edge, run it through the crimper several times and cut it in half. Then add sticky strip to the back and tape it down kind of loosely. Then add the other half to the top of that.

 


 

Here is a close up of just the lace part. I did end up with about an inch left over on each piece so you could make it a little bit fuller if you want to.

 

 


This was the original card that we were making with the faux lace on it.

  1. You give her a big pat on the back about this. I wish I had known this before I messed with making a bunch of pleated cards. I will know for next time.

    I love both ways to use the paper lace piece.  It has the feel of Craybtree and Evelyn.  Such a beautiful set.  lorijane
