The OTHER Card

Christmas Quilt, Quilt Builder, Stampin' Up!

This is the card I started out making for the Stamp Review Crew hop, when I realized halfway through that it didn't feature the STAMP we were highlighting. D'oh! *smacks forehead*

I think it looks kind of elegant with the Very Vanilla and Gold Foil. There is a layer of Whisper White, covered by Vellum behind the die cut, on which I used the stitched die that coordinates. But it is so subtle you really can't see it, even in real life!

This is one card that won't get a greeting until I use it, and even then I might not put a greeting on front. I like the simplicity of it, just the way it is!

Twelve Days of Christmas TAGS, Day 11

I have to tell you, it was a huge shocker to me that the Quilt Builder Framelits are not carrying over. I have seen SO MANY cute things on Pinterest and Splitcoast Stampers using these dies that I thought for sure it was so popular that it would stay. Guess I was wrong!

The coordinating Christmas Quilt stamp set has some adorable little adornments for the quilt, like the blanket stitch border and star. And, of course, the greeting! I used the whole suite on this tag, right down to the Stitched Felt Embellishments!

Making Quilts with the Quilt Builder Framelits (Sneak Peek!)

I am posting on a day that starts with T to make up for missing a few days last week. Do you forgive me? One of the cards we made last week in the monthly stamp club was this cute quilt card. We used the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies to cut two different sheets of Petal Garden DSP and then pieced (glued) the quilt into the Whisper White frame that we had also die cut. It was fun, and we didn't even have to worry about precise 1/4" seam allowances! Since the DSP has designs on two sides, we got to choose how we wanted our blocks to look.

After piecing the quilt block, we then "quilted" it with the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. All of these items will be available in the Holiday catalog that starts September 1st. They are part of the Quilted Christmas Suite, but I love the fact that they can be used ANY time of year!

I made the Old Olive card as a sample for the stamp club, and then made the Calypso Coral one along with the other stampers. Which one do you like the best? I'm having a hard time choosing!

That lovely large hello greeting is from the Hello Friend stamp set which is available in both wood and clear-mount options. It has other lovely elements, too!

Christmas Quilt Sneak Peek!

I know you were expecting a Christmas card, weren't you? Well, this stamp set and coordinating die can do SO much more than just Christmas cards! Yes, you can make adorable homey-feeling holiday cards but, as shown here, also cards for any occasion!

The Christmas Quilt bundle includes the photopolymer stamp set with the Quilt Builder Framelits Dies. Of course, you will be able to purchase them separately, but you will save 10% if you buy the bundle. (But you're going to have to wait until September 1st!)

The flower motif in the Quilt Builder Framelits inspired this card. After stamping the blossom from Christmas Quilt in Crushed Curry, I used the blossom outline die to cut them out, and then used the outline die with the inner petals die and some Basic Black cardstock to create frames for the flowers.

The leaves in the Just Add Color Specialty DSP made the perfect background, and I didn't even bother coloring the individual leaves! Sponging a little Pear Pizzazz added the right touch of color, and the black Pick a Pattern Washi Tape really made the flowers stand out.

Quilts aren't just for Christmas, either. Baby quilts were the first thing that popped into my mind, but wedding quilts would work, too. I have lots of ideas for this versatile bundle!
