I haven't made a quilt card in a long time and I wanted to use this pretty piece of Echo Park pink dsp I've had for years. I cut both the dsp. and a piece of red cardstock with a MFT quilt die and put all the pieces together to make the quilt. I die-cut some stitched nested hearts for the center, adding a little heart-shaped gemstone. I placed this all on a Lawn Fawn pink card base, adding a love sentiment.
I'll enter this card into the following challenges:
The Color Hues Challenge #11 - use red & pink
When you cut 2 pieces of cardstock and designer paper to make the quilt, you have 2 pieces left over, so why not use them to make a reverse design? That's what I've done here and and made a birthday card. I have a friend who celebrates her birthday close to Valentine's day, so this is going to her. For the center, I used a set of Impression Obsession button dies and cut thin strips of the dsp and wove them into the button holes. I added a birthday sentiment and called this one done.
I'm sharing this card with the following challenges:
Dies R Us Challenge #162 - a/g using dies sold in their store (I.O.)
Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #398 - birthdays
Thanks for stopping by today and make it a great day whatever you do! I hope those of you living in winter zones have a nice quilt to keep you warm!

Great that you get two for one when using this die. Two pretty quilt cards
Two cards for the price of one! Both are just wonderful too! I could cover up with a quilt that pretty any time. Thanks for joining us over at Color Hues.
Both cards are beautiful, Carol! I have a Quilt Die that I have never used! I may just have to drag it out and make some cards with it....thanks for the inspiration! I really love how you decorated each card! Very special! TFS and have a wonderful day! :)
Adorable valentine card, I bought that quilt die after having saw some quilt cards by you, years ago, and I'm was so impressed. But I used it only for a few works. Now I think that I have to bring it out and use it more!! :D Love the papers used and the nested hearts as focal point!! So sweet! The gem in the centre is just perfect to catch the eyes!! Love the second one too made with the leftovers, this is another very good thing to do with this die! :D The thin strips to simulate the thread in the button holes is so clever!!!! :) Very well done!
Big hugs dear friend, stay strong hoping for a better future!
These are so stunning Carol, I like that you did the reverse also, no point in letting anything go to waste!
That's a great choice of patterned paper as it works so well in the quilt design. I love the reverse look too and you've got two really fantastic cards to send to lucky recipient x
Two beautiful cards! THe design works beautifully either way. And I agree, that is such a pretty paper, you were right to let it shine like this. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues as well as Addicted to Stamps and More!
So very beautiful are both of them. You chose wonderful papers for the quilts and pefect for Valentines.
Oh, such pretty cards with the quilt theme!! I do have a quilt die that has been neglected for quite some time. I need to bring it out and use it. Great designs and pretty paper, too, for your wonderful cards...well done!!
