Masculine Quilt Card


One of my husband's friends has recently been in the hospital, so I made him a quilt card to let him know we're thinking of him. I used a MFT stitched quilt die and used some black cardstock, along with some green Lawn Fawn plaid and Recollections black & white checkered dsp to put this one together. I added an Impression Obsession button to the center, adding shreds of green dsp in the center to look like thread. I added the warm wishes sentiment to the front with a get well message inside. He loved the card, and says he's saved every card we ever sent to him, so that's quite a compliment!

I'm sharing this over at the Dies R Us challenge #108 - stitched dies.

Here's wishing you a wonderful weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

Awesome card, Carol! I really must try out my button dies. I have to admit that I have it and it has never been used. Have you been in the new JoAnn's Fabric since the moved into the mall? It is quite large and they have shopping carts at the side entrance.

Wow! Another fabulous inspiration to use that quilt die!! Thanks!! LOVE the gingham paper that matches the pale black and that gingham button is a perfect super detail!!! Amazing design once again!
No doubt that your husband's friend always appreciates your cards and saves them, as they are just FABULOUS!!! :)
Have a lovely weekend!

Carol, this turned out stunning! I never would've thought to make a masculine card with a quilt theme, but I think this is very warm and comforting for a male! Very nicely done and the colors are perfect!! Have a lovely weekend! HUGS :)

Very nicely done (and by now) I'm sure you know how I feel about your quilt cards! They're always fabulous! I'm sure this card would bring comfort to know that someone cared!

I love the colours and the gingham and what a great effect the paper strips make to the button, which looks very real. It's so nice when friends keep your cards, they are very special and can make someone smile x
