Patchwork Quilt

Thursday, February 12, 2009

Yes, I’m still playing with the Designer Series Papers, I just love them!? This next card is done using the 1 1/4″ Square punch to create a patchwork quilt pattern using the DSP.?

The DSP I used for this technique is called Candy Lane and it was part of the Love You Much Bundle promotion last month.? All I did was punch out squares of the different paper prints and glued them to a piece of card stock, then after it dried I ran it thru the Big Shot using the Top Note Die.? Once cut out I sponged the edges with Riding Hood Red ink.? I then added the Riding Hood Red ribbon, the little flower was punched out using the Birds & Blooms Sizzix Die and the Big shot, I attached a button from the Button Bouquet using the linen thread.? I folded a piece of Riding Hood Red card stock in 1/2 to create my card, attached an additional piece of Candy Lane DSP after I sponged the edges on that too and then I attached it to my card front.? I then added the patchwork quilt, stamped the stamp from the Curly Label Punch Bundle, then stamped Happy Birthday from the Bitty Birthday stamp set; punched it out using the Curly Label punch and added it to the front of the card using Dimensionals.
