More Paper Quilting

All three cards use the paper quilting technique. It is what is done with the paper quilting after completion that is fun.

Embossing folders where used to add texture to all examples. The two green cards were lightly sponged with medium brown ink after wards to make the embossing stand out a little more.

On the pink card, the corners were rounded. The other two cards were cut out with Spellbinders Labels. They are all layered with coordinating card stock.

Stamp credits: on the pink card unknown, Stampendous and Our Daily Bread are the other two.

Some More Paper Quilting

Above is a very simple basic design.
The quilt squares have had the edges sponged
to add depth. After assembly it was
texturized in an embossing folder, then
sponged lightly to make the embossing stand out.
The rest is simply layering and die cuts.

In the above card, the phrase has been
computer generated and cut out with
a Spellbinders Label. The leaves are
die cut or punched.

Stamp a small phrase (Stampendous)
on a coordinating piece of card stock.
I used the Spellbinders Leaf die to
cut a leaf from my quilted piece.
A matching leaf was cut and embossed from
Highlighting Foil (get at a beauty supply)
that had been attach to card stock.

The quilted portion was raised with
a 3-D foam and placed over
the stamped phrase.

Paper Quilted Borders

Quilting is an old old art form, practiced by generations
of artistic women. It is not only an art form,
it has a practical side in that the quilts provide
warmth when used as originally intended,
on a bed as a bed spread.
It only stands to reason that paper crafters
would find a way to mimic the cloth version.

To ensure uniformity in the squares a punch was used.
The edges of the squares have been sponged
with dark brown ink. This adds depth and
makes each square stand out a bit more.
The squares were then glued to a
coordinating piece of card stock.
I would recommend a strip of low tack
masking tape or straight piece of paper
to be a gluing guide for the squares.
No matter how hard I tried, without this guide
my strip of squares had a slight curve.
(This made me crazy, OCD kicking in)

The first two cards have a card base that is covered
with texturized dark brown card stock.
The white border on the first card is a punch,
while the border on the second card is
a Spellbinders Borderabilities die cut.
The last card has been stamped and embossed
with fine line gold embossing powder, the stamp
is from Wordsworth.
