Card with quilted effect Christmas trees

Quirky Quilted Christmas Trees

I have been using the Christmas Quilt stamp set today to make a last minute Christmas card.

I stamped the tiny patterned triangles using Old Olive ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock then added the solid triangles using the Cherry Cobbler ink pad before die cutting the ‘tree’ shape using the Quilt Builder Dies. I also die cut a ‘tree’ in Old Olive using one of the patterns from the Merry Little Christmas DSP .

I die cut a stitched oval using the Layering Oval Framelits from scrap Whisper White cardstock and mounted it onto a scalloped oval die cut from the same set using Lemon Lime Twist cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I added the old olive tree to the right side of the oval with Tombow and the stamped tree to the left side of the oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals after adding the tree stand in Chocolate Chip ink.

Taking the ‘stitched triangle’ image I stamped in Old Olive ink all over a Cherry Cobbler card base to add some texture to the card. I inked up part of the sentiment from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set using an Old Olive Marker – a great option if you only want some of the words, and stamped it onto a ¼” strip of Whisper White and added it to the card front with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The oval topper was then added on Stampin’ Dimensionals. A bow made from ⅛” Gold Metallic Ribbon was added to the top of the oval using a Mini Glue Dot.

Such a cute card. Hope you like it.

Christmas Quilt cards

Christmas Quilt for non Christmas cards

Thank you to the lovely ladies who came to this week’s classes which, by popular request were non seasonal themed.

We used the Christmas Quilt stamp set and co-ordinating Quilt Builder dies to make 3 non Christmas themed cards. This is such an amazingly, versatile set and will be fantastic for any quilters or sewers.

The first card we made was stamped. The frame of the quilted piece was stamped in Fresh Fig ink onto Whisper White cardstock and the infilling pieces were stamped in either Berry Burst ink or Pool Party ink.  We stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink and punched it out using the Duet Banner Punch and backed it with a Pool Party piece punched with the same punch. We added a strip of Berry Burst cardstock and a piece of ⅛” Soft Sky Ribbon (retired) to the stamped panel.  We took a Berry Burst card base and stamped the frame piece in the upper left and lower right corner using Fresh Fig ink before adding the Whisper White stamped panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. We added a Glitter Enamel Dot to the centre.

The 2nd card was a softer affair. The ladies embossed a Pool Party panel with the Quilt Top embossing folder and my Big Shot and added it to the Pool Party card base after wrapping it with a piece of Berry Burst Ribbon. They then die cut the quilt frame in either Whisper White, Berry Burst, Pool Party or Fresh Fig and shared the pieces with their neighbours. We adhered the frame die cut to a piece of Adhesive sheet and added the coloured pieces just like a jigsaw puzzle. The whole panel was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The final card started with a Thick Whisper White card base. We added a dsp panel to the bottom of the card front and an embossed Whisper White panel and covered the join with Berry Burst ribbon. The adorable sentiment was stamped in Berry Burst ink and die cut using the Layering Oval Framelits and backed with a Fresh Fig scalloped oval die cut using the same set of dies. They then die cut the flower in either Whisper White, Berry Burst, Pool Party or Fresh Fig and again, shared the pieces with their classmates.  We added the sentiments and the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals. White Perfect Accents were added to the centre of the flower.
