One of 2 Cards....

Hello and Happy Tuesday everyone!

I first want to let everyone know that this weekend
June 4th - 6th I will be participating in a Fun Blog hop called

Grillin' & Chillin' hosted by Barb over at
 http://bugbites411.blogspot.com/

She wanted to celebrate the start of the Summer Season
with a fun Buggie Hop! So Make sure you come back
for that, cause you know I'll be giving something away! :o)

And today I wanted to show one of the cards I made for
my moms birthday last week. I know my sister Mi-Mi posted
hers already and I was finally able to take some pictures of mine
so I thought I would share with all of you! :o)

I have always wanted to make a quilt type of card... I've

seen a billion different ones over the last year and never

tried one for myself... Until now that is! I figured out

what sizes I should make the squares after a few

trial and errors... Tehehe but once I got the exact sizing down

I cut everything out and then used my Sizzix die...

I pre-designed this card in my Design studio about a

month ago... and added the twine and pearls

after looking at my card thinking it needed something...

Here are the specks on it:

Card Stock, Ink, Stamp, Top Note Die - Stampin' Up

Designer Paper - MME (Pretty Please)

Pink Bakers Twine

White Pearls - KaiserCraft

Blue Pearls - Prima Marketing

Cartridges - Lacey Labels (#4 on Overlay) Cut @ 2"

Serenade (Butterfly) Cut @ 1 1/2" (2x's)

I only added a little bit to the inside...

I wanted the sentiment to be my focal point!

For those of you who may never have made this type

of card before, this is how I figured it out....

I took a piece of White Card stock  (4 x 5)

of course that was after trying different sizes at first! LOL

Then I figured the squares @ 1 1/4" eh. and I used 12 of them

I glued the squares to the CS then I put it through my

cuttlebug with the Top Note die (2 B plates Only) and there ya have it...

a quilt looking design! I hope that helps someone out! :o)

Thanks for stopping by and have an AWESOME DAY!!!
