Quilting Beyond Cards

We had fun creating some cards this past Friday using the Stitching Thin Cuts. The possibilities of shapes, papers and colors can be creative and experimental. Why not go beyond just a greeting card? Think bigger like a scrapbook layout!

Here is a single page layout I created using one of the chevron shapes in a variety of new and retired papers. It was fun to experiment with the different patterns, colors and overall design of the page. This is a page for my son who will be graduating soon from the U.S. Marine Corps Boot Camp. This is the last picture we took together and just the beginning of a very big, life altering experience for both of us!!

I would also like to mention that the title for my page actually came from the Craft With Heart subscription layout for the month of January. I had a hard time seeing any recent photo's of mine fitting with the theme as it is, so I altered it for my own personal purpose.

I hope you can see how the faux quilting can be used for not only cards, but can expand to your bigger scrapbooking layouts. When these Thin Cuts become available again, I recommend you add them to your cart a.s.a.p.!

Faux Quilting

I knew I wanted the Stitched Quilt Thin Cut Shapes the moment I saw them in the new book. Evidently, so did everyone else as they sold out and may not be available until the end of March! However, my ladies will get the chance to still play with these dies and make a few cute cards that are quilted with love!

Here is a close-up of the dies and a couple of cards I made. You can see that there are a few shapes that you get on one magnetic sheet. The possiblities are vast, not only for cardmaking, but for your scrapbook pages too! I will be back soon to show a layout I created using the die cuts.

Please check back on my website late March for the availability of these dies. You will want these in your stash!
