Scrappy Boy Stamps: Patchwork Quilt Cards

If you are a patterned paper lover like me, you probably have a lot of scraps in your stash. I have been on Scrappy Boy Stamps' Design Team for four years and have accumulated quite a bit of patterned paper packs and scraps. All papers are double sided and are easy to coordinate for patchwork quilt cards. Plus, this is a fun, quick, and cute way of making cards. I have created two similar cards using the Briar Rose Paper Pack; one using a colored stamp image and one without; and two different sentiments using the Alphabet Dies. With a large sentiment, you don't need an image; just showcase the pretty papers.


Scrappy Boy Stamps products used:
  • Briar Rose stamp and die
  • Briar Rose Paper Pack
  • Alphabet Dies
  • "Happy" sentiment from Goldilocks & the Three Bears stamp set
  • Stitched Rectangle Dies

Supplies used:
  • A2 white card base
  • There are a lot of patchwork quilt card templates available. The template I find the easiest to use is from Julie DiMatteo, The Paper Pixie. This template makes an A2 card.
    • Measurements for cutting patterned paper (quilt pieces): 
      • 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ (2 pcs)
      • 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ (3 pcs – portrait))
      • 1-1/4″ x 2-5/8″ (2 pcs – landscape)

Copic markers used:
  • Skin: E17, E13, E11, E21
  • Cheeks: R20
  • Lips: R29
  • Hair: E59, E57, E55, E53
  • Pink: RV19, RV17, RV14, RV11, RV02
  • Gold: Y28, YR23, Y15
  • Brown: E39, E35, E31
Notes:
  • Die cut all the pieces and assemble as shown.
  • The Stitched Rectangle size is 4-1/8"W x 5-3/8"H

I hope I've inspired you to use some of your pretty papers and scraps to make some patchwork quilt cards. Thank you for stopping by. Have a creative day!
