Laura's Stamping Place - Free Under The Mistletoe Quilted Card Tutorial

One of my favorite hobbies, next to paper crafting, is quilting. The Holidays are right around the corner so I thought I would make a cozy quilted card using the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper page 189 -2018 Annual Catalog. Check back for another quilted card tutorial soon!

Cozy Quilted Card

Start with strips of paper, placing them around the square.

Finished mat and a close-up of Wink of Stella on petals.

Details:

Card Base: Old Olive cardstock cut to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, then scored down the middle.
Matting: Cut one piece of cardstock 5 1/4" x 4" (whisper White used here).
Quilt Base: Cut another piece of cardstock 5" x 3 3/4" (Whisper White).
Cut four (4) 1" x 6 " strips from four (4) different patterns of Designer Series Paper. I used Under the Mistletoe DSP for this card.
Cut one (1) square for starting point in the middle (Old Olive used here). I used a 1" square however you could use 1/2" if you prefer.
Adhere the 1" square to the middle of the quilt base.
Next adhere either Snail Adhesive or Multipurpose Liquid Glue all over the base around the 1" square.
Begin gluing down the 1" strips around the square as shown above.
When completed adding all of the strips, trim the excess designer series paper using either the paper trimmer or paper snips.
I embellished my card with a poinsettia cut from one of the papers included in the Under the Mistletoe DSP and adhered it onto the top of the 1" square using a Stampin' Dimensional. To add a little shimmer to the petals, brushed on clear Wink of Stella.
Sentiment: "Happiest Christmas Wishes" from the Dashing Deer Stamp Set stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut out using the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies in Cherry Cobbler and adhered to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
