It's time for another fun challenge for Fan Club members, and I hope you'll join us for April's Dirty Dozen Christmas Challenge.
This month's challenge brought me back to thoughts of making a quilt. I haven't made a fabric quilt in years, but it was fun to make a paper quilt. And with all the pieces I have left, I will be able to finish two more cards from the three "fabric" selections used in my quilt. I used the Stampin' Up quilt bundle that I had to have, and it's fun and easy to do. I used Scor-Tape for the DP and then "staged" the colors to see how I wanted them arranged. It was easy to stick them in place and then use my Mini Perfect Layers tool to have a nice border. I stamped the sentiment, embossed the background, added another red mat, and then wrapped that with red twine. I popped up the quilt with dimensionals and then adhered it to the base. Far easier than sewing a real quilt! Hehe! This month's card now gives me three cards - love that!
I hope you get inspired to join us as we make our 2018 Christmas cards throughout the year! Stacy (Twinshappy) has shared some great challenges so far this year!
Thanks for taking a closer look at my card! Wishing you all a blessed Easter, Passover, and a beautiful week ahead! Hugs, all!

Oh you have another card up, wonderful! I love this! I think I'm going to grab some of these quilt dies and convince my Mom to paper quilt with me. ;D The papers you chose work awesome on this and it's such a fun card.

Cheryl, just saw this card and love it! Such lovely colors and the die would make a great card anytime of the year for the quilters you know and love. I really like the embossing folder you've used, really lets the quilt block shine.

Awwww, this is so pretty, Cheryl. The combination of colors and textures are just perfect. I really love such styles. Since I have a similar die set with what you used, I would love to CASE this in the future. You ARE such an enabler who spreads kindness all over this fabulous community. I'm a newbie who is very grateful for you and SCS gals for welcoming me. Thanks!♡
