BSS MONDAY IDEA - IT'S QUILTED

WELCOME TO THE MONDAY

BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

 

Today's idea is quilting on your card.

 

I have seen a lot of different quilting designs on cards lately.

This is a pretty simple one I found on Pinterest.

 

 

Cut a piece of 4x4 inch card stock.  Now chose 4 strips of 1 inch wide

card stock in patterns or colors that coordinate.  You need four.

four inch squares from each strip.  You now have 16, 1 inch squares.

I ran the squares through various Cuddlebug and Darice embossing folders.

Figure out how you want them to look on your "quilt".

Now start gluing them on the 4 inch square piece of card stock.

I did the four corners first, then the outer edge and finally the four squares in the middle.

 

Here is a close up of the embossed squares.

 

After the quilt was finished, I mounted it on a 4 1/4 inch piece of

ivory card stock.  I ran a piece of green card stock 41/2 inches square through an embossing folder.  I mounted the quilt which has been adhered to the ivory card stock to the green embossed square and adhered that to a 5x5 inch card.

It's fun to quilt a design.  You can cut some squares in half on the diagonal and

mix and match the patterns too.

 

Hope you have a chance to try this technique.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great week.
