This card was made for Craft Roulette #318 whose parameters were: Ardyth’s Square (4.25-inch square) card, May garden colors, textile element and three layer random. I used Relatively Thoughtful digital papers as well as dies and stamps from Concord & 9th, Essentials by Ellen, Scrapbook.com, The Greetery & Waffle Flower.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I took an 8.5×8.5-inch square of lightweight cardstock and scored and folded at 4.25-inchs on each side and along one of the diagonal corner to corner. (See the video above for directions.) Decorate front and back with quilt blocks and the sides cover with 4.25-inch squares of colored paper cut in half diagonally.

Quilt Blocks: Using the Scrapbook.com Mini Quilt Block die set, cut six of all the die pieces from solid color decorative paper and another six sets from patterned paper. (I printed all my digital papers on thin computer paper.) Use a fine-tipped black marker to add stitching lines.

Sewing Notions: Using The Greetery’s Notionable die set, cut one pair scissors from silver foil cardstock. (I cut a second set from white as my silver cardstock was thin and tended to curl.) Cut the thimble, needle and seven pins also from silver cardstock. From white cut the three pieces for the spool of thread and color using a light brown for the spool and light gray for the thread. Leave the thread label white, but highlight the writing with a fine-tipped black marker. Cut the curling piece of thread from white and color light gray. (I used scraps of solid colored cardstock for the pincushion and pin heads.) The card of pins uses an image printed on cardstock from the Relatively Thoughtful Walter Crane In The Garden A4 digital paper collection.

Sentiments: The outside stamped sentiments of “You’re sew sweet” and “Made with love” are from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool. The inside sentiments come from Concord & 9th’s Sew Lovely stamp and die sets as well as Waffle Flower’s Quilted Hug stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25×5.5-inches) envelope with “What’s sewing on?” stamped on the back flap. Stamp is from Essentials by Ellen – Old Spool.
