Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using one of our products of the month. I have chosen to make my card using the Painted Illusions dsp, February’s product of the month which is still available.
Colours used in this card are:
I created the quilted painted illusions card using the following supplies:
Lost Lagoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Night of Navy – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Painted Illusions dsp – 1” squares x 9
Backing – 3” by 3” – I used grid paper but copy paper would do
Basic White – 3” by ¼” x 4
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Night of Navy
I ran the 5¼” by 3½” Basic White layer through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder and adhered the embossed panel to the panel of Night of Navy card. The layer was then glued to the Lost Lagoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I laid out the 1” squares of Painted Illusions dsp on the 3” by 3” piece of grid paper creating a pattern. When I was happy with the layout, I used liquid glue to adhere the 1” squares to the grid paper.

I glued the ¼” strips over the dsp panel and ran the whole piece through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder. The panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

From scrap Night of Navy card I die cut a spray of leaves using the Greenery Lane Dies and glued it to the quilted piece on the card front.

The sentiment, from the Cutest Crew stamp set was stamped on scrap Night of Navy card with Versamark ink. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using a heat tool. The sentiment was then die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies before being added to the card front.
