This is a thank you card I made for my Aunt Claudette who gave me a lovely housewarming gift earlier this month. Claudette is a quilter (she’s as obsessed with quilting as I am with card making), so I wanted to make a patchwork quilt card for her. This is an easy way to use designer series paper scraps, but don’t let the simplicity of the card fool you. 🙂 Putting all the little pieces together was quite difficult. Regardless, I love the finished product.
Here’s how I did it:
I used Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral card stock as the base for this card (both are 2012-2013 In Colors). I also used Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (2012 SAB paper) and Very Vanilla card stock. I cut 1″ squares and pieced them together in this patchwork quilt pattern. I cased the quilt pattern after a card by Mary Fish, who I believe cased her pattern from someone else. I finished with a Summer Smooches fabric-covered button.
I hope you like this card!
