Faux Quilted Note Cards

Back again with another Faux Quilting project using Ann’s wonderful stamps.  I really enjoy the black background and bright colors of a lot of the Amish Quilts, so I decided to recreate that look with some simple notecards that you can make in about an hour!

Materials:

• Ann Butler Designs {Faux Quliting} Stamp sets – 2″ Diamonds & Plaid and 1″ Diamonds & Plaids.
• Colorbox Crafter’s® Ink by Ann Butler – full size ink pads in Tangelo, Lilac, Aquamarine, Sunshine, Berry and Limelight.
• Tombow – Xtreme Permanent Adhesive Runner and 1/2″ by 1/2″ Power Tabs.
• Black Cardstock, Orange, Purple, Blue, Pink, Yellow and Green Cardstock, pencil, ruler, paper trimmer, buttons (4), twine, acrylic stamp block, scissors, bone folder, eraser,

Instructions:

1.) Trim black cardstock to 5″ by 11″ for each card.  Score and fold each card in half.  With a ruler and pencil, measure and mark off a 1/2″ border and a fill in with a 1″ grid.

2.) Stamp a variety of triangles from the Diamonds and Plaids 1″ and 2″ set, matching up ink colors with cardstock colors.  Let dry.  Cut out triangles.

3.) Dry fit triangles in the Old Maid’s Puzzle pattern until you are please with the color combinations.  Attach to card with Extreme Permanent Adhesive.  Carefully erase pencil lines.

4.) Thread twine through button, tie in a knot and trim ends.  Attach to center of card with Power Tabs.

5.) Write message inside with a Silver Sharpie!
