I had some square snippets of red, white, and green cardstock so I decided to make some quilt cards since I had this perfect sentiment stamp to match. I used a MFT stitched quilt square to cut all the quilt pieces in each of the 3 colors, and in the first one, I laid the cut pieces into the cut frame but didn't glue the frame down. After all the pieces were glued in place, I removed the frame and added a die-cut gold star made with gold mirror card and decided this one looked fine with nothing else added.
Of course when I cut all of the quilts, that left me with 2 frames which I had to use to make 2 more cards. For this version, I added the white and red negatives along with the negative pieces from the gold star in the first card, then added a gold Candi Dot to the center of the star.
This version has the red quilt frame with green and white pieces along with just a gold Candi Dot in the center. They're all similar but each card is slightly different.
I'm sharing the first card with
the Snippets Playground #469- must use snippets
the Little Red Wagon Challenge #735 - Merry Christmas
the Sisterhood of Crafters - Christmas
the Peace on Earth Challenge #53 - Christmas
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you're all having a busy but great day!

A great selection of little quilts and you are right the sentiment suits very well
A gorgeous Christmas card. The traditional Christmas colors really pop on the white card stock.
Oh my, there is Italy here today ! :D LOL. Green, white and red are just the colours of our flag! :) Amazing quilted cards (I have this die too, I bought it years ago after I saw our lovely cards made with it!) and such great idea remove the frame in the first one, love so much the clean effect and the outline gold star is a perfect focal point. Love also the two cards you made with the leftovers and the cute candi centres. Well done, no wasting!! :D
Hugs and love dear Carol, have a wonderful day!
A lovely trio of quilt cards using up your snippets.
Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse later. It's existing casting the Nativity Play! xxx
I meant EXHAUSTING! Clearly too tired to type properly any more! xxx
I love the classic look of all 3 cards--beautifully done!
Fabulous cards Liz de Lobster - I do so love the star as a finishing touch! Perfect!

These are all lovely cards! Great idea on the first one leaving out the frame...it makes the quilting really pop. I love how you used each and every piece you cut out for all 3 cards, it's genius! I'm so glad you were able to share these with us at The Sisterhood of Crafters for our Christmas challenge. We love seeing your work!
These are great! My MIL loves using my quilt die cuts for Christmas cards. Oh she would really love these with the traditional colors and the addition of the die cut stars too. I will have to show her this link.
Fabulous cards Carol, what beautiful placing of each colour, love the colours you used too.

The quilt cards are absolutely stunning.
Love them all!
Hugs and blessings, Carol.
Wow!! Gorgeous quilt cards! Great way to use up those snippets! Love all the wonderful designs!!
You know how much I like quilt cards. I was very fortunate to find one of these in my mailbox. Your card will be late I'm really off these year with getting my cards in the mail. Hope you have a good day.
You quilt-inspired cards are just beautiful, Carol! I love the added star in gold, so pretty! This is a great die because I can see that you cut it from three colours and ended up with three cards - it's brilliant! Sending lots of hugs, prayers, and heartfelt well wishes your way, my friend.
Absolutely love these stunners! Hugs, Kate!
