Here’s a look at what supplies I used to create these cards.

Quilt Challenge for Cards with Gina K Designs

Therm-O-Web’s easy cut adhesive makes creating these quilt inspired cards super easy to create. I simply peeled off one side of the adhesive sheet and adhered it to the cardstock I wanted to create my quilt on.

I cut several 6×1 inch strips of paper. I also foiled the GINA K. DESIGNS FOIL-MATES™ BACKGROUNDS • STARS & STRIPES with GINA K. DESIGNS FANCY FOILS™ 6″ X 8″ • PASSIONATE PINK to add some shine into the design.

I chose a simple design for the fist card. I just laid the strips side by side on the card base I applied the ICRAFT EASY CUT ADHESIVE™ SHEETS • LG and cut away the excess.

For the second card, I chose to try a different pattern and repeated the same steps with the ICRAFT EASY CUT ADHESIVE™ SHEETS • LG. Then I used an Exacto knife to cut away the excess paper.

Then I turned the card base over to reveal my design. The ICRAFT EASY CUT ADHESIVE™ SHEETS • LG make this process so easy.

To finish off my cards, I chose a few sentiment dies and used the  ICRAFT EASY CUT ADHESIVE™ SHEETS • LG on the backside of the cardstock before I ran the dies thru my embossing machine so that I just had to peel the backing off of the sheet to stick them right onto my cards. This makes applying the die cut words quick and easy.

A quick tip: I also like to use a strip of vellum paper to wrap around the card base and then adhere the sentiment to it. I like the finished look of this technique on cards. It makes the sentiment stand out.

Finally, I cut another piece of cardstock with the adhesive sheet with this butterfly die and burnished the DECO FOIL™ TRANSFER SHEETS VALUE PACK • GOLD and adhered to my card base.I hope you’ll be inspired by today’s quilt image to create a couple of cards too!
