I used the same layout as Marilyn with different colors and no punches, and a sticker birthday sentiment rather than a stamped label thanksgiving one.
I found some coordinating scraps of paper in the giant scrap pile on my deskâ¦did not even need to go to the bin. I cut a 3.5 inch square of white cardstock and actually measured out the center point instead of winging it this time! I punched a square of red cardstock and glued it in the middle, then built outward with 1/2 inch wide strips. The process of making the the quilt with the strips was so relaxing and I completely fell into that âflowâ zone.
I ran the finished quilt through my big shot with the Cuttlebug embossing folder that is one of my favorites for a quilt look. Itâs also a pretty fierce embossed so sometimes leaves a whitish surface as it wears away the very top layer, and that combined with the dense embossing left me a little disappointed, as the contrast between the strips became muted. But I am actually liking it a lot better this morning, as it gives the strips the look of hand dyed fabrics.
I backed the quilt piece onto some light orange cardstock with foam tape, and glued the finished piece to a burgundy card. I finished with a sentiment sticker from Stampendous.
USEIT2022: paper scraps that I used before they made it into the scrap bin. Also the Stampendous sentiment stickers are an ancient part of my stash and had never been used! I love how this one looks so suspect that the others will be used much faster now.
