The theme for the ICS May Blog Hop is “It’s A Girl Thing!” Send this sweet quilted card to your mom, sister, aunt, grandmother – whoever you want to give a warm toasty feeling to. After all, there’s no toastier spot than under a handmade quilt…unless maybe there’s also a cat on top…or a dog…but I digress. I used the Homemade For You stamp set for the sentiment, the Stitched Shapes Framelits for the quilted squares, and the Layering Squares Framelits for the scalloped edging.

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Stamped with the Homemade For You stamp set:

  • sentiment in Versamark ink onto a small piece of Sugarplum CS, then heat embossed it in white

Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:

  • 9 pieces of Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the smallest square die

For the Whisper White Mat:

  • Whisper White CS cut with largest scalloped die in Layering Squares Framelits
  • several strips of Whisper White CS cut using the same die (see photo)
