I was flipping through what was left of my Simple Stories Sn@p 6 x 6 pad the other day and thought it was a shame to let the little pieces go to waste. The paper is so fun and cheery.
To make the quilt, I punched 16 squares, laid them in a grid on a piece of cardstock, then stitched them down, quilt style. I added a piece of coordinating ribbon from May Arts and a bit of twine from The Twinery.
I punched a tag from grid paper and ran it through my printer to add the sentiment: When life gives you scraps, make a quilt. I left some space to add three small quilt blocks.
I uploaded this card to Two Peas in a Bucket Sunday night and was surprised to pop over to the site on Monday and see that it was the featured project of the day.
Linking this quilted card to Tip Me Tuesday.
wow izzy, this card is so amazing and the stitching is just awesome! i can see why they featured this card because it is truly awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI always love to see your quilt-like stitching. It adds such a nice cozy feel to your projects. I love the quilt block design and as always, you have the perfect sentiment. :) Congrats on the feature!
ReplyDeleteLove this design! Such a fun idea for scraps and I love the papers. :)
ReplyDeletelove this card and all the colors... Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteGoodness! I thought this was a wonderful cover of an album but a card?! WOW~!! LOVE the design of it - just BEAUTIFUL~!!
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful! I always assumed that if you didn't have a perfectly square area you couldn't do a quilt card because all of the squares wouldn't fit. It didn't occur to me to TRIM some of the squares (yeah I'm still trying to teach myself to think OUT of the box. I blame my sewing experience!). SO thanks to you I am going to try one with my scraps! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE this...the colors...the stitching...the sentiment.

Thanks for the awesome card idea! I always hate to get rid of my scrap paper... I hoard a big basket of it. This is a great way to use all of it up! Plus, it could be for any occasion. :)
