Non Traditional Valentine's Card

I am the lucky girl who has three wonderful sisters! (I'm the "baby")

When I saw this quilt card from Mary Fish I wanted to give it a try. It's different than some others that I have made.

Sister #2 loves to quilt so I wanted to make this card for her.

There is no link to Mary's blog post to give you the instructions in case you want to give this a try so I thought that I would share the instructions that she shared.

measure & cut (from bottom to top):

card base:

• Basic White Thick Cardstock: 5 x 10, scored at 5

layers (before die-cutting):

• Nature Walk Designer Series Paper: 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
• Basic White Thick Cardstock: 4 3/16 x 4 3/16
• Basic White Thick Cardstock: 5 x 5 (for die-cutting)
• Nature Walk Designer Series Paper: 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 (of 4 designs)
• Basic White Cardstock: 2 x 1/2 (sentiment)
• stamp: the sentiment of your choice. I used the LOVE YOU from LIFETIME OF LOVE. (Mary made her's a thank you)
• crop, cut, assemble, adhere & embellish:
• • Burnish the fold of the card base with a Bone Folder.
  • Adhere the Designer Series Paper to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 
  • Use a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) to crop the Basic White Cardstock with the Stylish Shapes 1-1/16 square die (qty 16). (this is the smallest square)
  • Use a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) to crop the Designer Series Paper with the Stylish Shapes 1-1/16 square die (qty 2 of each design). 
  • Adhere the Basic White squares to the 4 3/16 square of Basic White with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. (I used Adhesive Sheets)
  • Use a Paper Trimmer to cut each square of Designer Series Paper in half diagonally. Adhere to the Basic White squares as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. (I used Adhesive Sheets)
  • Flag the right side of the sentiment with Paper Snips and punch a hole on the left side. (I used a die cut from ENDLESS LOVE)
  • Double wrap the quilt layer with White Baker's Twine, thread through the hole of the sentiment and secure with a bow. Adhere to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. 
  • What I forgot: I forgot to add a little bling. There are no Pretty Peacock embellishments but the MOODY PALLET DOTS have Secret Sea which works perfectly.
  My sister loved it and I didn't tell her that I forgot the bling.
