Quilt Patch Card

During our recent Team Mystery Tuesday session, I demonstrated a technique for creating a quilt card using a few scraps of designer series paper to create a quilt pattern. 


Keep reading to see how you can create your own. 



Measurements:
Cardstock base: 5-1/2" X 11"
(X2) Cardstock: 5-1/4" X 4" one is for inside of card and the other is for out side where 
you will apply your strips. 
3/4" strips of randomly selected Designer Series Papers

Other Supplies:
Liquid glue or adhesive sheet
I found the adhesive sheet works the best.
dimensions (optional)
Embellishments (optional)
Stamp sentiment 
Scrap for sentiment
Scissors

I started with 3/4" strips and added adhesive with an adhesive. You can also use Adhesive Sheets. It works well for this. Add your strips in whatever random direction you desire. I did mine about 3/4 slanted one way and continue adding in other directions till front was full. Flip over and trim off the overhang strips. Using dimensions attach to front. Add sentiment.

Independence Day

My favorite time spent is with family on the holidays, especially if we don't get to see each other but once a year.  It has been a tradition for us for several years now. My brother and his family put on quite the show. 

It's the little things and time spent together that mean the most. 

Our little circle.  💕







All these littles make our heart BIG!




Thankful always to celebrate in our great nation.

Masking Technique with Playful Ghosts

Masking techniques with stamps can be used to create layers and 
create images in the foreground or background. 
Creating depth with a single stamp is so easy. 
Stamp image onto cardstock and stamp a second image on scrap paper and
 fussy cut out and lay on top of main image. 
Now you are able to take desired stamp to stamp around
 image to create a fuller look without messing up your center image. This can also be done by washi tape or post note. 


To create the fun stripes on base of card. I used a scrap sheet of cardstock 
and made stripes along the card giving a plaid look. 
Then used a flick technique by splattering ink from my blend marker.
Simply by scrapping the tip of marker across lid, 
allowing ink to splatter out onto cardstock.
