I had this one last piece of this design.  When I added it to the black card base, I didn't know where to go from there.  It definitely needed a "lift".  I really like the results.

 I am on a mission to use the last of some of the designer papers I have. l Be prepared to see a lot of cards over the next 5 days from this Flower & Field pack of dsp. The paper is now GONE!

This was an easy layout!  The dsp is 3 x 4. The mat 3 1/4 x 4 1/4.  For two of the cards I did cut a piece measuring 4" x 5 1/4" the same color as the card base.  I embossed that layer to give a little more interest to the cards.  The "Note of Thanks" card does not have that layer.

Thank you for coming by today!

I wish I could find where I saw a card basically like this.  I si mplified some of the layout. The paper is "Thoughtful Journey" and the die cut is from the coordinating dies.  I liked the idea of taking a square cutting it diagonally and using it behind the focal point.

One last quilt card for now.  There are still patterns I want to give a try, but those of you who do check out my posts may want to see something else.  Not everyone is into quilting although you may have friends who quilt with fabrics and would love to get a card designed for them. 

I took these paper from an OLD 12 x 12 paper pad where you tore the sheets out of the pad................now they make these in 6 x 6 loose sheet packs.

For measurements and directions check out Nancy Novak's VIDEO.

Thank you for coming by today!  I promise no more quilts for a while.

I saw this card on Pinterest by Kathy's Act of Random Stampin' using these papers for this design.  I have the papers and decided it would be fun to make.  I did change the layout and used a different embossing folder for the "quilting".  This pattern uses a combination of squares, and two sizes of triangles. The papers are from a pack that coordinated with some dsp for Valentine's Day.  I intend to make a block with a quilted heart.

I used the same two papers for these cards but reversed the colors for the star.  I forgot to make a note of what the name of this pattern is.  I really like it and it is another fun one to make.  It takes a little patience cutting and attaching small pieces but I'm so pleased with how it turned out.

The card on top is a book binder card.  As you can tell, I have become addicted to making these.  This is by far my favorite style.  It's quick and easy and such a fun way to combine four different designs of dsp.  Just go to YouTube and do a search for quilt cards.  There are a lot videos there to help get you started.
