Hello again...
Well this is my second birthday card in two days (the other will be posted after it has been received), this one
is going to another family history friend who has also taken up quilting in
recent months.
I had a plan in mind for this card of a general plain repeated
pattern quilt but Papercraft Inspirations magazine templates came to the rescue
with a lovely pattern to create in just nine squares. Living across the world
has its benefits, the patterns are released online to coincide with the UK
release of the magazine, by the time the magazine makes it across the world and
into our newsagencies it could be three or four months later (unless you
subscribe), so using the patterns completely unaided by full colour images
leaves you free to envisage your own end product.
Here's my card
I remember seeing this pattern during high school textiles
while we were studying quilt making for our final exams, including creating our
very own quilts as a major project. The tulips are very pretty as quilted
squares and I was impressed at how well they worked in miniature for the card. I used my pierced square dies and so
that the piercing continues across the triangles I used a larger square to add
the piercing where required, only missing the corner piece.
What I used:-
A4 white card to create square easel card blank
White card
Wild rose studio paper pack
MFT Pierced square die
Button from stash
Lily of the valley Birthday stamp
Black ink pad
Craft Mat, Stanley knife & steel ruler
Kaisercraft 2mm bling (on sentiment)
Jute cord
Mini pegs from stash
Adhesives- P.V.A. glue, Double-sided adhesive paper,
double-sided tape, Foam tape
I would like to enter this card in:
Thank you for looking in…
Have a good one…
Megan
P.S. A huge thank you to all the kind ladies who leave me a
little message, I truly appreciate each and every one of them ;-)
