After searching the internet for ideas for the type of design I was after, I found a card on Pinterest by Ros Davidson (a fellow Aussie SU Demonstrator) which was just what I’d had in mind.
So, using the aptly named Lovely Linen DSP, I made a “scrap quilt” style card. I cut strips of the Designer Series Paper and arranged them on a layer piece of Basic White cardstock.
Once I was happy with the layout, I started gluing them down with liquid glue, so that I had a little time to position & adjust each strip as I went.
When all the strips were on (and the glue had dried), I trimmed off the excess off the strips to make the layer.
I then used the Stitched Greenery die to add a stitched look, just like a quilt would have.
This was then layered on a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock, which was in turn layered onto a larger piece of the Lovely Linen Designer Series Paper.
The card base itself (which isn’t seen from the front) was Soft Succulent.
The stamp and tag are both from the Lovely & Lasting Bundle.
I’ve also added Evening Evergreen & Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbons tied together in a bow.
I was really happy with the end result!
This card was actually made (by me) to be from my sister (who lives in the USA) as mail has been so unpredictable (read that as unreliable) that she asked me to make one so that it would get to Mum on time!
My sister wrote a message for inside the card, took a photo of it and sent it to me. I then printed the message and pasted it inside the card so that it was truely her message.
The card I gave my Mum was one that I had previously made for a Cards to Go kit, but I thought Mum would really like.
This card uses Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper, and other items from the Hues of Happiness Suite Collection with the “Happy Birthday” stamp being from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set.
I am happy to say, that she loved both cards 😊
