Quilting with Paper

SDC16841-1
I have had many inquiries from readers about the card above, which I shared on a previous post.  It was a sample from the display board on the Stampin' Up! Alaska cruise–not my creation (as I indicated).  Good news . . . Ellen Smallwood is the designer and she sent me loads of information to help you, too, start "quilting" with paper.  Thanks, Ellen!

You are in for a treat!  It's very apparent that Ellen knows a lot about both paper and quilting.  Note that she didn't embellish the cards . . . which really keeps the quilting aspect front and center for learning.  The next step would be to add pretty buttons, ribbon or the perfect sentiment! 

Download Ellen's Dresden Quilting Pattern 

SDC17285-1 Note the little template she uses for each piece.  It's 1 3/4" from the bottom to the point.

Amazing "fabric" result when embossed with the Stampin' Up! Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (119976).

She refers to this one as the Mock Wedding Ring.  Stampin' Up! Lattice Bigz Die (115958).

Here are the "leftovers" from cutting the pieces for the Mock Wedding Ring card above.  The embossing folder is "Brocade" from Cuttlebug.

Assembly for the Rail Fence pattern.

Gorgeous and ready for a simple sentiment or ribbon.

The Stampin' Up! 1 1/4" Square Punch (119865) would make this quilting pattern a snap.

One of my blog readers, Julie Talford, created her own version of Ellen's card without the template.  She improvised with the Stampin' Up! Blossom Petals Builder Punch (121808).  Love it!

  5. Beautiful quilt cards would like to see the pattern for the Mock Wedding Ring. This one brings back memories. My Mom made me two Wedding Ring quilts before she passed away. I would like to make cards for my girls with a picture of my quilts. Can’t wait to see the new catalog.

  6. Beautiful cards! Thanks so much for sharing! A very special friend always wanted to learn to quilt but never took the time. A couple years ago she found out she had leukemia so I suggested she take the time to learn so it would get her mind off things. She chose to paint quilt block instead. Large ones. She had her husband hang them on their barn for ‘barn bling’. They recently had a tornado go through their town and the barn was destroyed. You just helped me with another idea for her!! I’ll make her one to get her started. Thanks for the idea!!

  14. These cards are great!!! My Mom would have loved these cards as she was a wonderful quilter. I wish I had learned from her how to sew. I will have to try to “quilt” some cards in her memory since papercrafts are my craft.
