Quilting has never been so easy!

I received this beautiful card from my dear friend, Susan ( I {{{heart}}} you too, friend!)  Isn't it beautiful? She used the Top Note die and Shades of Spring Designer Paper to make this gorgeous quilted card. I had seen these online, but once I received this beauty, I couldn't wait to make one! 

For our club meeting last week we made this card using the same technique.

 
You may want to click on the photo to enlarge and see the details of the gorgeous Sending Love Specialty Paper. I chose this paper to show that it need not be used only for Valentine's day. If you've seen the glittery luster in person, you can imagine how beautiful it is IRL when also quilted and embossed! After assembling the punched squares (using the 1-1/4" square punch) and cutting it with the Top Note die, I then embossed it with the Petals A Plenty folder. The texture really looks and feels like an old quilt!

With a few more punches, the stacked labels and bitty butterfly were added. Don't you agree, quilting has never been so easy? If you've never tried one of these, you'll love it! I tried my hand at quilting just a tiny bit, many years ago. Just enough for me to appreciate the look of quilted paper, LOL!

I tend to not like the quilting cards, but these two are both beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I feel inspired to do one of my own now! :)

Thanks for sharing my card - I'm glad you like it! These cards are so easy and so fun!! My Stamp Campers loved how once it goes through the Big Shot, any little imperfections (partially glued down square or something) just go away and it emerges just BEAUTIFULLY!!!

Hugs,
Susan
