Christmas in July with MFT Quilt Square Cover Up

Last Christmas I got the die-namics quilt square cover up as a Christmas gift.  I finally was able to have the time to use it, and figured Christmas Cards would be a good use!  I was also able to use some vintage buttons from RosiesButtons.

Here are the cards I made using the die:

And some closeups:

I used the following to make the cards:

• My Favorite Things - Quilt Square Cover-up
• Gina K Simply Snowflakes Stamp Set
• Versamark
• Stampendous Detailed Gold Embossing Powder
• Various Buttons from RosiesButtons
• Kreinik #16 Braid 002HL

To make the card, I first cut several different patterned papers and solids using the Quilt Square Cover-up.  I then cut a square out of white card stock slightly smaller than the outline of the Quilt Square.  Double sided tape was added all over the white base,

The outline for the quilt was added to the base.

I then started adding the patterned papers.  I did this for all the different variations.  

To finish the card, I added the quilt square to the card base, near the top of the card.  The sentiment is from the Gina K. Simple Snowflakes stamp set.  This was stamped in Versamark, the Gold embossing powder was added, and heat set.  I then raided my needlepoint stash for some Kreinik braid, which was tied through the button.  The buttons were then added to the front of the card to finish the card.

Narwhals for Fathers Day?

Yes, if you have a husband that will sing or hum the Narwhal song!  (You can the Narwhal Song on YouTube).  The Lawn Fawn 'Critters in the Arctic' has the cutest Narwhal, which is what I used.

I used the following to make this card:

• Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire

• Copic - C1, C3, C5, C6, YR14
• Memento - Tuxedo Black Ink
• Versamark
• Ranger - Blue Ribbon Dye Ink
• Stampendous - Detailed White Embossing Powder
• 
  

To make the card, I first used the Wave Stencil and Distress Ink, on white card stock.  I started with the darkest color and slowly moved to the lighter colors.  I would occasionally move the stencil around, to get a more realistic looking waves.  I then added the lightest color to the remaining white areas.  I then used one of the Stitched Rectangles dies to cut the 'waves' into a rectangle.  The rectangles was then cut using the Stitched Hillside Borders dies, to get an even more wavy looking background.

The Narwhals were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black, and then colored with the Copic Markers.  These were then cut by hand.  I then placed them between and over the "Waves".  I used the water droplet stamp that is part of the set to add the water splashes.  The entire image was added to the card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark.  The Detailed White Embossing powder was added and then heat set.
