A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Q is for Quilt

A rainy day is a good time to make a really fiddly time-consuming card!  Fitting in all the little pieces of decorative paper for a quilt design definitely qualifies for fiddly!  But it's perfect for the Christmas Cards All Year Round challenge "Something that Starts with Q or R".  So here's my "Q is for Quilt" card:

I used my Gina Marie quilt die, cutting it three times out of various dp. I then stuck the border down on a sheet of double sided tape, trimmed around the edge, and filled in the pattern with the pieces from two of the other dps. I'll have to make two more to use up all the dp pieces!

Popped it up on fun foam and added a sentiment.

I feel like I'm finally inspired to work on Christmas cards!  So you'll be seeing lots of them in the weeks to come!







Supplies:
Stamps - Rubber Soul sentiment
Ink - Memento Rhubarb Stalk
Paper - cream cs, various dp
Size - 5x5.25"
Accessories - Gina Marie quilt die, fun foam, sheet of double sided tape

    Love this die and better yet loved the way you made it Christmas. I even went on a hunt for it as a former quilter. Nothing lovelier or warmer at Christmas than a quilt. Great choice of papers to create that wonderful eye-appealing card! Sorry Susan, had typos and deleted to correct them and repost.

    A quilt card warms the heart and this is just lovely. My eyes would cross before I could get a card like that done but yours is just wonderful. I love those papers and how cool you can make three cards from the cuts.
