For the Stampin’ for Christmas blog Hop this month, I thought I would share a Quilted paper Christmas card.
A Quilted Paper Christmas Card
For my project I used papers from the Regal paper Stack that you can receive as a free gift if you join the Stampin’ Up family before February 28th.
- Stamps: Itty Bitty Christmas;
- Inks: Old Olive
- Tools: Tailored Tag Punch; Stitched be Mine Dies; Pine tree Punch
- Paper: Regal Paper Stack; Old Olive card; Shaded Spruce card; Basic White card
- Embellishments: Braided Lined Trim; Star Designer Elements; Champagne Rhinestones
- Adhesives: Adhesive Sheets; Multipurpose Liquid Glue; Dimensionals
| Metric A4 | Imperial letter-size | |
| Old Olive | 29.7cm x 10.5cm scored at 14.9cm | 11″ x 4 1/4″ Scored at 5 1/2″ |
| Shaded Spruce | 14.9cm x 10cm | 5 1/2″ x 4″ |
| Green Card | 14.9cm x 9.5cm | 5 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ |
| Basic White | 13.9cm x 9.5cm | 5″ x 3 3/4″ |
Instructions
- Fold the card base in half.
- Punch shapes out of 3 designs of green paper (Shaded Spruce, Old Olive and Garden Green) with the Tailored Tag Punch. You’ll need 4 of each.
- Mark the centre of the smaller piece of green card, stick a piece of adhesive sheet to it, peel off the backing and position the central punched shape. Arrange and stick the rest of the shapes around it until the card is full. You will find you can use half pieces to fill gaps.
- Use a fine black pen to draw in the stitched lines. I used the now retired, journalling pen.
- Stick this mat to the Shaded Spruce mat.
- Die cut a Shaded Spruce heart and a smaller Old Olive Heart.
- Stamp the greeting all over the Old Olive heart with Old Olive ink. Stick the two hearts together and then stick them to the card front with multipurpose liquid glue.
- Wrap a length of Braided linen trim around the layers and then stick these mats to the card base.
- Punch a Pine Tree from Garden Green paper. Stick to the card front with dimensionals. Add a star to the top of the tree and champagne rhinestones for baubles.
- Attach a bow of Braided Linen Thread with a glue dot.
- Stick a Basic White mat inside for your greeting panel. Add some left over pieces of tag punched shapes to this mat to decorate and finish with faux stitching all around the edge.
