I have two quilt cards I made for the Friday
Unity Friends with Flair. I love playing with pieces of paper, making designs and shapes with them, and this is based on an Ohio Star quilt pattern. I used papers from the LilyBeeDesigns Double Dutch paper pad for this card. I punched 4 - 1" squares of each pattern and then cut each on the diagonal which gave me 8 of each color, then simply pieced them together to form a star. For the center I used a MS button punch, and cut a small circle of dsp for the center, then added a gold candi dot on a dimensional. I added a narrow strip of dsp to separate the embossing from the plain card stock, and stamped a Unity sentiment with Midnight Muse Ink.
One card wasn't enough, so I had to make another one.....
I switched this one up a bit, adding a fully embossed background done with a CB Decorative tile ef, and put the sentiment on a separate panel of matching dsp. All the papers are by MME Moments. The gorgeous flower in the center is from
Pizzazz Aplenty and matches the blue color perfectly IRL. I just punched a small circle of matching dsp for the center using my owl punch. I used the same Unity sentiment as the first card. So tell me, which one do you prefer?
Wishing everyone a great weekend and I thank you all for taking time to stop by!

Wow! Carol, I love your star quilt design. Because you ask, I guess I like the first best. I think it is the patterned papers and the bottom of the card is so pretty. They're both winners!
ReplyDeleteBack to say, of course you know I love that polka dot flower on the last one. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty, Carol!
ReplyDeleteBoth are great cards, Carol. I really like the look of quilt cards, and If I had to pick a favorite...It would be the second one, I thing the design with it's darker colors pops out a bit more. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteBoth are great, Carol! Love the way you matched all the designs. I'm in total love with that second card! WOW!!! I want a quilt with that pattern now. SO PRETTY!

Isn't funny how you get different answers. They are gorgeous! I have to say the first really grabs my eye.
ReplyDeleteLove these!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Carol.
ReplyDeleteThese cards are beautiful. I love quilts and love quilt patterns. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteI love the pieced quilting look!!! When I saw the first card it was the only one on the screen and I thought WOW - bight and busy, but still fabulous and love the total design. Then I scrolled to the second and fell in love with the colors, and like how the embossing pattern matches the paper. Hmmm - can I vote for a third option - partial embossing with dp strip border like the first card and dp paper from the second, or am I being too difficult? {grin}
ReplyDeleteCarol - gorgeous cards! They look really time consuming, are they? I took a much needed day off and have been working away at some more of the chevron cards - I'm staying away from ink for awhile... :-) Good luck with the snow - I just wish it would warm up!
ReplyDeleteThese are just GORGEOUS cards I love it!
ReplyDeleteNo favorite....they're both beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt designs. How creative!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards. I just made a quilt square - 4 1/2 total - with the first design for a Civil War Mini quilt.
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful, Carol, truly! I like them equally, but it is amazing how the "feel" changes, depending. I see the top card as going on daughter's bed and the bottom card as going on the guest room bed. (Just a feel, you understand - just how they spoke to me, since I don't actually have either of those things.)
ReplyDeleteWow! These are fantastic. I think I like the 2nd one the best. The embossing in the background is beautiful, and the papers are more subtle.
ReplyDeleteQuilts are so warm and cozy and so is the look of your card. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! LOVE the embossing in the background - perfect touch!!!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! I do like the first one best with the patterned papers-it really pops! I hope you don't mind if I pinned it on Pinterest (with your blogspot listed)- here is the link. If you want me to delete it, I will, but it is soooo pretty!
