Quilted

Hello friends ~ I know my posts have been few and far between, but I ask you not to give up on me.  I've just been enjoying family and enjoying summer as it all goes by too quickly.  Before long, I'll be hunkered up inside the house and will find plenty of time for crafting.  But for now, I hope you don't mind the occasional post.

 

I've been behaving myself, well mostly, this summer and not spending any money buying new craft supplies (save for a couple small purchases).  ;0)

Moreover, I've been pulling older sets out that haven't gotten much use and I've enjoyed it so much! 

 

This die is called Quilted "Summer" and it was from Papertrey Ink back in the day.   

I cut the die from scraps of printed paper in my scrap box and went to work piecing each quilt together.  I topped each quilted square with a die cut button in the center.

 

Each quilted piece is mounted to a different embossed background.

 

Except for this one, which is simply mounted on linen cardstock.

 

I used this as an opportunity to add to my birthday and anniversary card stash.

I'll be adding one of these cards to the following challenges:

Cut It Up ~ Emboss It 

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes 

Love Those Pretty Papers ~ July 

Please don't give up on me.  I'll be back on a regular basis soon.

Thanks for stopping by!
