I joined a group on Facebook that makes cards using quilt patterns. I'd never heard of a "Temperature Quilt" made with fabric let alone a "Temperature Quilt CARD"! There is a "thermometer" which breaks down the colors to use for specific brackets of temperatures. Then you cut the pieces from a piece of colored card stock which matches that temperature for Days 1-9. After the pieces were finished but before adding it to the card base, I ran it through the Cuttlebug with an embossing folder to give it a more "quilted" look. The sentiment was added to the card base with dimensionals to provide a "stopper" for the easel card.
I may give this card idea another try as temperatures are changing a little more toward Spring. However, I saw one of the crafters mount her square onto a card base using the "book binder" layout. I like that one much better.
This card was actually made in February, but I think it still fits into the March challenge of using retired papers.
My sister quilts so I thought it would be fun to send her a second card I made which has a Happy Birthday sentiment instead of "Thinking of You".
If you'd like more information how to do this, email me and I will be happy to share what I have. Now back to "New Horizon" dsp through Sunday.

Oh my!! How beautiful. Your sister is going to love this. There's a lot of pieces and love that went into making this card!!
So cool. I like that you embossed it before adding it to the card base. I'm sure your sister will love hers.
Very creative! I think your sister will love it. I have a quilt die that I use from time to time. It's perfect for a bookbinding style card, too.
