So..... Yesterday I told you that one of my customers asked me about all those little strips and bits & pieces of our wonderful Designer Series Papers (DSP) that I just can't allow myself to throw away. I decided that it was time to get them out of the envelopes, boxes and off the table top and get them made into something creative to share with all of you... and especially with her. (You know who you are! LOL!)
Those of you who know me well know that I have a passion for quilts. It is one of all time loves! I have a large stack of quilting magazines, patterns and templates on my "library" shelf... but haven't made the time to actual make a quilt in years! These cards are created using the same concept as Strip Quilting and Crazy Patch Quilting... but are alot faster to create and therefore provide almost instant gratification. They all use retired DSP since, as in scrap quilting, they are scraps left over from previous projects. Three of the cards also use retired stamp images.... which were mixed in with all the other scraps. The last card is the only one using a current stamp set... "Love You Much" (page 27). I haven't stamped the inside yet because I haven't decided what occasion I want to use it for. However, I think it would make a great Wedding, Anniversary or Friendship card.
I hope these have inspired you to get out those scrap pieces of DSP and card stock that you have in your paper stash so that you can create cards similar to these! If you do... then let me see them. I'd love to share them with my readers. I may even hold a vote among my readers as to which of the submitted creations is their favorite!
I have a favorite among these four! Tell me which one is your favorite by leaving a comment below... and in a day or two I will let you know which one is my favorite.
As always, if you want to order any of Stampin' Up!'s wonderful products you may do so by clicking the Online Ordering link in the upper right corner of the page.
Happy Stamping~

Maria! I think this is such a GREAT idea! It was hard to choose which was my favorite but I'll go with the middle one. What's the technique? Wow!

Oops, I didn't realize the last one was counted. I like the 2nd one.
