I recently need a thank-you card for a friend who is a quilter. She does such amazing work, I love getting projects from her. So this thank-you note needed to be something really special.
Since she gave me a quilted project
I decided to make her a "quilt" card.
Here's how you "quilt" a card. There are 2 details on this card that add to the look of a quilt:
1. the "piecework"
2. and the texture
When I made this I was feeling a little "scrappy", trying to clean my work area. I have so many scraps of designer paper in my work room that I just can't seem to throw away. They are all so pretty. Well this is a really easy way to use up some of them - and it makes a pretty project too.
The piecework wasn't too hard. These are 1-1/4" squares of paper. I used a punch to make the squares but you can just as easily cut them with a paper trimmer.
I do have a tip about adhesives - I used a glue stick instead of the tape adhesive. It was easier to re-position the pieces as needed to make the pattern square.
Its so great that Stampin'UP!'s Designer papers are printed with a different design on each side of the paper. I could get 2 designs from one sheet and I was guaranteed that the colors would match.
The texture comes from embossing with the square lattice embossing folder. One more reason to love my Big Shot.
