Friday Favorites!
Happy Friday!!!! And YAYYYYYYY it’s a long weekend!!! ME LIKEY long weekends! LOL! 
I have a supercool favorite to share with you today. I went shopping at my LSS a couple weeks ago, and came across this template from Hot Off the Press. (<—click to see the templates available) I instantly grabbed it and put it in my basket! Here’s what it looks like:
There was a sample created using the lattice across the top fold, and it took my breath away. How could something so easy look so fabulous? And for only $4.99? What a bargain! These templates come in many different varieties, from mini envelopes, to paper bows, slide mounts, tabs, faux stitching, and more! They are made of the same plastic material that the SU! templates are made from. I also really like that they have a grid on them, that helps get proper alignment. Here’s the card I created with it:
Cheers to You!
I just *love* the way that top fold looks! You’ll be seeing me use these templates often! Here’s a closeup of the shiny cherries:

Wow, that looks fantastic! Great coloring too!
This is gorgeous Trudee! I love those folds although its been a long time since I made one. Your card is stunning! Love all the fabulous detail!
BRILLIANT!
this is stunning!! i love all your details!
Great card, Trudee! I LOVE the folds using your new template. Is it used with a Cuttlebug or is it a stand alone template? How difficult to use for a newbie? I just love the help I get from all of the talented people in these blogs. It’s awesome!
Just beautiful! I love all the mix of patterns and the “shiney” cherries!
Gorgeous card, Trudee! The lattice edge is so beautiful, and I love how you paired the patterned papers and colored the cherries and colander. Just gorgeous!
This is beautiful, Trudee! Do you know that is one of the first things I ever purchased when I started papercrafting and I’ve only used it once when I first bought it. Thanks so much for reminding me and inspiring me to give it a try again! Hope you have super 3-Day weekend!!!!
This is absolutely gorgeous! That template is certainly a great find! I adore this dark red color…so rich and elegant! What a wonderful mix of patterned papers! Beautifully done T!
This is beautiful. That fold is pretty impressive and the cherries rock!
WOW…. I love it! You certainly do have an eye for mixing patterned papers and color. A great card
Fabulous! You Enabler!! :0)
Very pretty!!
Gorgeous! I would love to see the card open. Does it open below the lattice? Is is scored there? Inquiring minds MUST know!!
This is so pretty! I looks like it took for ever! Love it
Very eye-catching, T — I always wondered if these folds were as difficult as they seemed? Great layout — love these patterned papers together (that’s one of my fav BG pads, too!). Love your shiny cherries!
Oh, pretty! The cherries are beautiful and I love the card design, the papers and the cool lattice fold. Thanks for sharing the template source!
Wow! This is just beautiful! Looks like you could EAT those cherries! Yum!
Wowee! Look at those cherries!! They’re fabulous!!! As for the fold, very cool!! I’ve never tried it…it looks hard. Gorgeous card, T! I love those papers!
