Herringbone Birthday

 

F4A784 - Sequins For my card, I did a quick herringbone technique using up a few different scrap papers from my stash. It is one of my go to designs to use a few different scraps and make a quilt feeling card for my MIL as she is a quilter and loves giving quilt style cards to her friends.

Quilty Birthday

 

IC931 - RebsFabStash - Here is my INSPIRATION

For my card, I pulled out some fun purple designer papers and cut several different purples (enough for 3 cards). I then mixed up the different papers and added the birthday sentient and a few scattered additional die cut pieces.

My MIL is a quilter and asks for quilty birthday cards for her friends every year so these are headed to her for her stash for next year.

MMTPT767 - Favorite Technique / Style

NAR23VSNG - Leftovers

Recently I have focused my style to use up a large amount of scrap papers. It has really been fun looking for ways to use up some of the scraps.

For this card I dug out my yellows because yellow is a very happy color and I thought it would be perfect for this week's recipient. I created the herringbone technique on the base then finished with the Hello sentiment and a few scattered flowers.

For my card I dug out the brown scrap drawer and cut several hexagons to create the background.

I finished with some pink gems and found this sticker bauble in my tote that works perfect with the colors.

MMTPT696 - Roll the Dice I rolled 6 - 1960s

I needed inspiration for 1960s and looked through home decorating from the 1960s to create my card. I used colors from the home I found to create my quilt birthday card.

MMTPT695 - Use a blanket or quilt image

I love this challenge it works great for using paper scraps from my piles of left over papers. I am also trying to create a few extra quilt cards as my MIL uses them for birthday cards and thinking of you cards for her friends.

I used several different blues and purples to create these 2 cards. I also had these 2 flowers on my table needing used so they were perfect to compliment these cards.

2021BLITZ2 - Disappearing Nine Patch

I love these types of cards because I can use a bunch of scrap papers.

I needed a few quilt birthday cards to add to my stash for my MIL's friends birthday cards and this is a great challenge to build that stash.

I finished my card off with the sentiment and some flowers with nuvo drops.

Red, White & Blue Birthday

 

F4A593 - Red, White & Blie MIX440 - Stars and Stripes I needed to make a red, white and blue quilt birthday card for my MIL's friend. Her birthday is 7/4 and she loves patriotic colors. I grabbed a bunch of my red, white and blue papers and created this layout with the different papers. Stamped the birthday sentiment and then added dash marks with a black marker and white gel pen. I love making scrappy cards and love when I can find papers to work with 2 challenges. Don't see the stars? They are in the floral print.  Red, White & Blue Birthday

CC850 - Pale Papaya, Magenta Madness, Shaded Spruce & Gold Accents

I used a quilt die cut and the colors for this week to create a few quilt birthday cards. My MIL is a quilter and has a few quilt friends that she sends birthday cards to and I needed to finish a few cards for her friends. These colors are perfect for gorgeous quilt cards.

I layered the quilt on a mirror gold paper and finished with the birthday banner.

Faux Quilt Candles

 

WT850 - Go Faux: use a faux technique

My mother in law gives me a list of people she would like cards made every year and a large part of the list are her quilty friends. The Faux Quilt Candles really seemed like a fun technique to use for quilt friends and I even have a quilt emboss folder.

I looked for some coordinating papers in my scrap drawer and cut them out to create the candles.

Next I used the old bird builder punch from Stampin Up to punch different yellows for the flames.

Once all papers were glued down I embossed the card stock  and then layered. Finished with the sentiment banner and some sequins.

This is a great technique to use up scraps for cards and super easy too. Plus you can use different colors and textures to change up the look of the card.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my card.

I used this weeks colors to stamp a bunch of flowers and leaves using a Heartfelt Creations set. I then shaped the flowers and leaves, cut the center out of the DP and turned the layer.

Dimensionals were added to the layers and I finished the flowers off with Nuvo Drops and Stickles.

USEIT2021 - House Mouse image

I started coloring this house mouse image and then my marker got all over one of the flowers. I cut out that part of the flower and while looking at the sketch for this VSN I thought this image was perfect for the sketch cropped adding some flowers.

Quilted Birthdays

The FS527 challenge - Is the very talented and super sweet Linda aka bubblestx4. She has a fantastic gallery that I love.

I found these gems: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=427513. They look like quilts to me. I grabbed this Gina Marie quilt die and used 5 different papers and die cut them out. Mixed and matched the papers to create some fun birthday cards for my MIL to use.

Stripped Birthday

The F4A367 challenge on SCS - supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I was inspired by the super fun stripped coat worn by Dick Vandyke. I love this fun movie and now I am going to be singing this song all day. Thanks Robin for a fun challenge.

I used the Frantic Stamper Woven Ribbons die cut and cut out all the colors. Then very carefully paper pieced each piece back in to get rainbow colors on the cards. My wonderful MIL asked me for a few birthday cards and she is a quilter so hopefully these will look enough like quilt cards for her quilting friends.

I gave these cards a 3 because gluing these little pieces back in is a lot of work and some are really tiny and got lost in the process. :)

Stripped Birthday

Quilted 4 You!

Today's Featured Stamper Twila Davis aka tjdstampsalot has a fantastic gallery. I found these GEMS!

I loved the wonderful use of all the different patterned papers. It is a great way to use up some scraps as we all have them. I pulled out some of my patterned papers and most were not enough to do the long strips so I cut them down to squares. I turned mine on an angle and added my sentiment strips to the top rather than the bottom as Twila had on her cards. I finished mine off with some texture once I pieced the cards together.

Quilted Note Card

Wonderful inspiration challenge today on SCS it is the fantastic Etsy shop of The Altered Diaries. I found this stunning Diary.

I loved the colors. Using my quilt die cut and several DPs with the colors I pieced the quilt cards together. Finished off with the tatted butterflies to mirror the crown in the center of the diary and the sentiment.

Quilted Hello

My wonderful MIL is a quilter. She was out at Thanksgiving and I mentioned I needed a new table runner and she came back at Christmas with a perfect table runner for me based on what I needed. She has made over 8 quilts for my home and I love everyone of them. When she mentioned she needed a gift for a fellow quilter I said how about a few quilt cards. So to the craft cave I went yesterday and then when I saw today's challenge I knew I could swipe one of the BG's I started for today's teapot challenge. Not to worry, I am still making her several for her friend.

Die cut the quilt frame and switched out the blocks for white blocks. Stamped the Heartfelt Creations flower and colored with copics. Popped the flower on dimensionals and added some punched branches. Finished off with some sequins and the sentiment.

Copics used: BV000, BV11, BV13, BV17, G12, G14, G17 and G85.

F4A357 -Night Before

MIX204 - Wrap it up

In our family we do not use much traditional wrapping paper, we use reusable cloth bags. Using a fabric from my stash with Santa (on black so it looks like night to me) I cut it down to fit behind the Gina Marie quilt die cut. Cut Die cut the quilt frame and glued over the fabric and mounted on the CS.

Stamped the sentiment and mounted it on black paper. For the Mix challenge the sentiment is ink and I added stickles to the snowflakes on the fabric to give it some shine but I don't think that took too well in the photograph and also added stickles to portions of the sentiment layer.
