Quilting, minus the sewing

Hello wonderful creators,

This week we're going to feature a "quilt" card. 

Start with a coloured base, I used Poppy Parade Cardstock, of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". You'll need a piece of Basic White Cardstock or Vanilla measuring 4" x 5 14". In my sample I only use two different patterns of 1 1/4" Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper squares but you could certainly use more and experiment with smaller sizes. Depending on how particular you are and on your pattern, you may want to lay out the pieces first to get an idea of what you want where.

Tip: Use our grid paper and a ruler to help line things up. If this is the first time you're making this card, the easiest way to start it to put your first square in the top left hand corner of your white/vanilla piece. Have it overhang the top or side by about 1/2". (On mine, the I had an over hang on both sides but it's a little trickier to line things up this way. Glue it with our Multipurpose Liquid glue. Put your second piece diagonally below it - but don't glue it. Use your grid makes and rule to make sure that piece is straight. Before glue it down, put down your second square diagonally above it. (In my example they're green plaid.) Glue down that square, then glue down your place marker square diagonally below. Work your way down the rows until you've filled the page. You will have pieces overhanging on at least 3 sides. Let the glue dry and trim the edges with your Paper Snips. 

Choose an embossing folder and run your quilt through your Cut & Emboss Machine. I used the new Painted Texture Embossing Folder.

The rest is decoration. I used an old ribbon (from the Coming Home Suite - Holiday Catalogue.) My greeting, along with the ovals, come from the Punch Party Bundle. Using the Small Bloom Punch, I added a few Vellum flowers. And of course, I had to add a little bling, in the form of  Gilded Gems.
