Quilted Christmas cards...

 

Not long ago, I was inspired to make some quilted Christmas cards. I made the very simplest designs (just two of them) and used pre-printed sentiments that came from a partial cardmaking kit that had been given to me.

I cut 2" squares from red and green printed papers. I cut each of the squares in half diagonally. I also cut a 4" square of a light patterned paper and then began adhering the red and green triangles in a pinwheel design as you see above. Once I had them glued down, I dry-embossed the 4" square, using an argyle-patterned embossing folder. This "quilted" square was then glued to my book-fold card base.

I glued a 1" X 4" piece of DSP to the spine and topped it with a 3/4" X 3 3/4" piece of embossed metallic gold cardstock

The sentiment was popped up with foam squares. I also added a small, metallic gold die-cut bow.

This is the second design I made. It used the same supplies, but this time the red and green triangles were glued into the corners of the 4" square.

Once again, the sentiment was popped up on dimensionals. A bow from gold and white twine was added and a bit of Nuvo Drops for the holly berries.

Here are close-ups of the other two cards...

And this is the inside.

The pre-printed sentiments made these cards quick to put together. I actually made a total of eight cards. The other four were a repeat of the ones I shared here.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
