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
