I'm most excited to be the guest designer at:
Christmas Cards are my absolute favorite cards to make, but
with that being said, I also must admit that printed paper of any sorts is not any easy task for me. But I wanted to rise to the challenge so I went all out. I'm by no means a quilter or even for that fact much of a seamstress, however when I saw the word "papers" I just felt like it meant a lot of paper for some reason. I chose to make a square card so that cutting one inch squares for my paper quilting block would be a bit easier. I found many little pieces of printed card stock and went to work. After gluing them all down just where I wanted I ran it through my big shot with an embossing folder to give it an authentic quilted look. Hence the reason the second picture, I added extra light so hopefully you could see the embossing on it. So sticking with the idea of stitching and such I used my Stampin up, Cross-Stitched Christmas set for the tree. I then added a strip of ribbon to tie it all together.
Thank you so much for stopping by for visit.
I hope my card inspired you to get creative with your printed paper. I'm looking forward to seeing what ya come up with.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping

I like the quilted look and it's one I never quite manage to achieve. Great idea to add the embossing. Genius! Thanks for being our guest designer this week. x
