I was recently asked to make a card for someone who was attending a baby shower for twin girls. She had made the mom-to-be two quilts for her gift. I instantly had two card ideas, but I couldn't decide which one to make...so I made them both.
First I'd like to show you the quilt card.
Before you ask, the pattern for this card came from the Dirty Dozen gallery on splitcoast. It was originally created by Julie HRR years ago (please don't ask me when because I honestly don't remember). Because these patterns are for subscribed members only, I can't share the tutorial or give you a link to it.
I used the small flower stamp from Beyond the Basics to stamp on all of the strips of cardstock. I stamped tone on tone on all of the pink cardstock and used Rose Romance and Melon Mambo on the Shimmery White cardstock.
I cut a segment of the quilt pattern off of another quilt block and glued it to the inside of the card.
After I mailed the card to the person who asked for it, she called me to tell me that the pinks I had used on the card were the exact same colors as the fabric she had used to make the quilts. She hadn't described the quilts to me at all. I just got lucky!
Be sure to stop back by to see the second card I made. Even though she loved this one, she decided to use the second card I sent her. Thanks for stopping by!
