"Quilted" Card

So if you're a faithful reader, you know by now that my Mom is a hardcore quilter.

I saw this tutorial online and knew that she'd love it.

I started with a small rectangular piece of cardstock for my base. I took my 1 1/4" square punch and cut out squares of Sweet Pea DSP from the Paper Pack in the Occasions Mini. I then adhered them to my rectangular base, making sure that the "blocks" lined up very close to one another and were even.

I ran that now 2 layered piece through the Big Shot with the Top Note die. Next, I ran it through the big shot with a Sizzix embossing plate. I used a chocolate chip marker to "stitch" all of the seams and used chocolate chip Classic Ink to sponge the edges.

Finally, I used the tag punch and an acrylic stamp to finish it off.

I hope my Mom likes it! She should receive it in the mail on Wednesday or Thursday this week!
