This month's hop is highlighting PTI sets that have seen little or no ink and are in need of a little love. I have had this Quilter's Sampler Additions set since it came out and probably used it once or twice. I also have a pad of Guidelines 1 Grid Sheets paper that was used once. When I decided to use this stamp set for my card for Katie Renz and began stamping I realized how easy it was to create a pattern and I ended up making this card also.
One of my goal is to begin using my often hoarded patterned paper! This is an Ocean Tides sheet from Friends 'Til the End. I really like Ocean Tides with Berry Sorbet so the Waltzingmouse hearts are cut from BS cardstock. I used those because I like the stitching around the edges. The sentiment is from the same WM set, Sewing Box: Hugs.
For the quilted effect I first tried an impression plate but the image was light so I went through my embossing folders and chose Sugar by Sizzix. I altered the sandwich so it would not give the usual deep impression and it worked really well--very cloth-like IRL!
Supplies
Stamps: Quilter's Sampler Additions (PTI), Sewing Box: Hugs (Waltzingmouse)
Cardstock: Stamper's Select White
Patterned Paper: Friends 'Til the End (PTI)
Dies: Double-ended Banners, Banner Borders Die (both PTI)
Additional: Inks (Ocean Tides, Berry Sorbet-PTI), Aqua Mist Button (PTI), Copics (R20, R22, BG10, BG72), White Embroidery Thread
Now I'm off to enjoy the hop!
Have fun,
Sharron

The first thing that I noticed was the embossing......It struck me as "perfect" for the quilt pattern and I can just imagine it looking 10 times better in real life. Stunning card with the lovely colors!

Truly lovely.
I love the embossing to add that *quilted* texture to it...noticed it first thing.
Beautiful colors...beautiful card
Just got this set, and am so happy to see your card for more inspiration! LOVE the swiss dot embossing over the top. Excellent coloring on your pattern, WOW!
LOVE how you used the embossing folder to make it look like cloth! FAB detail and well worth the effort! Great color combo, too!
Love your card! I thought you had stamped on fabric until reading how you made it. Very, very pretty! And you are right! Those WMS hearts are perfect with this set.
So excited to see another card using the quilt blocks! The texture you added with the embossing folder is amazing, and I can't wait to try it myself. Beautifully designed and colored!
Wonderful--it really does look like real fabric! Great coloring too!
