My idea of camping

We went camping last week in Montana and I spent a lot of time making cards. Only took a few sheets of cardstock - Basic Gray, Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Sahara Sand; 3 stamp sets - Sea Street, Post Collection and Pretty Postage, one punch, and the new paper stack Moonlight.  Also took my big shot and embossing folders to use on the quilted designs - they make a big difference with the added texture. Made 4 each of the first three and tenth designs, then 2 of each of the other 8 quilted cards = total of 28 cards in 3 days . Add the embellishments to the quilted cards yesterday after I was at home. Off to OWH.

Thank you so much for looking and taking time to leave a comment or two. I appreciated it very much and I may even visit your blog and leave you a little something to smile about.

More Quilt Cards

These are three of the 6 quilted cards I am doing in a class on Jan 4 at my home. I showed the group the ones I made for Christmas gifts that in in an older post and they wanted to do a class using quilting. My quilting ideas are from Splitcoaststampers, Pinterest, and my quilt books.

Dresden Plate Pattern, thanks to Ellen Smallwood, the designer of this card via Mary Fish. I really like the way it looks without the butterfly also but I wanted to fill the empty space a little more.

Paper: Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Blueberry Crisp retired DSP.

Ink: Night of Navy

Accessories: Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Butterfly Punch, Label Punch, Circle Punch, 

Stampin' Dimensionals, Pearls

Diamond Shape Quilt, by Frenchie. I cased the card and made a couple others with the same design. Added the butterfly to complete the center.

Paper: Gumball Green, midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit, Very Vanilla, Print Poetry Paper Stack

Accessories: Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Tiny Butterfly Punch, Needle Punch,  

Stampin' Dimensionals. 

Going to add a sentiment when I send the card as do not know for what occasion right now.

This card pattern came from a tutorial by Nancy Riley. She has step by step directions but it is really easy once you start and get all of the papers cut. I cut my papers closer to the sizes I needed by measuring.

Paper: Pear Pizzazz, Pools Party, Very Vanilla, Spice Cake DSP

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories. Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Very Vintage button, 1/8" Ribbon in one of the green shades (do not have it with me at the moment), Stampin' Dimensionals 

Thanks for looking and leaving any comments. I love making cards and am currently working on some sets for gifts, Operation Write Home, and a swap group I belong to. Usually make about 500 cards a year.

Busy little Bee

I was quite busy this 3 day weekend making 2 large card sets for Christmas gifts. Three generations of us do quilting and I saw a quilt card and was hooked. Therefore I made 2 of each of the following cards for my  mom and some other gift.  As some say I am bitten by the bug. The scanner has an issue so I could not add the other two. I got most of the patterns and tutorials from pinterest, some from Stampin Up and some on other spots. Thanks to all who have posted before me with these patterns and designs. The tutorials are all great to get started. Counting all of the cards for these sets and a few extra I made 26 cards this weekend.
