Bright Quilt Squares

 

I wanted to use some of the bright card stock that was discontinued and came up with the idea of creating a quilt.  This technique could be used for many cards as long as the stamp image can fit within the parameters of the square.  For this card, each of the squares is 1 1/4" so the completed quilt section measures 3 3/4" x 5" which works perfectly for a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  With All My Heart
Paper:  Whisper White, Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow, Only Orange, Pink Passion
Ink:  Versa Mark, Black
Accessories:  White Embossing Powder, 1 1/4" Square Punch, Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, White Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals

Christmas Quilt

 

This is the other quilt card I made for the June 2013 Christmas card challenge.  I was inspired by this card created by Nancy Riley.  The center is a 1 1/4" square and the dsp strips were all cut at 1/4".  I basically followed the instructions Nancy provided and although it was time consuming I like how the card turned out. 

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Heard from the Heart
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Holly Berry Bouquet DSP
Ink:  Real Red
Accessories:  Fashionable Hearts Embosslit, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, 1 1/4" Square Punch, Paper Piercing Tool, Essentials Paper Piercing Template, Dimensionals

Quilted Star

 

I have a couple more Christmas cards to post yet so I can get caught up on the challenges.  The June 2013 Christmas card challenge was to make a quilt card.  I'm not a quilter so I had to do some searching to find some easy instructions and I found this card made by Karen Barber.  She had good instructions on her blog but I did modify the square size to suit my card.  I only made four of the quilted star cards so in order to complete my goal of eight Christmas cards per challenge I decided to look for different quilt instructions for the other four cards.  I will post the other design tomorrow with links to the instructions and my inspiration.

Supplies Used:
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Holly Berry Bouquet DSP
Accessories:  Computer Generated Sentiment, 1" Square Punch, Button, 1/8" Tafetta Ribbon, Finial Press Embossing Folder, Grid Paper, Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots
