Wplus9 October Release - Day 3

Hi there! Thank you for joining me for Day 3 of the Wplus9 October Release. I am so excited to be Guest Designing with the amazing Design Team for this release!

Today we are previewing another addition to the Pretty Patches family called Pretty Patches: Tree.

A coordinating die is available for this set, which I used to die cut the hearts. I stamped a different heart on each - one is from the Pretty Patches: Tree set and the others are from the Pretty Patches: Apple set and the Pretty Patches: Pumpkin set. Gotta love coordination!

I filled in with some snowflakes from Folk Art Flurries and finished it off with a big festive bow.

This very simple card was created by die cutting the Pretty Patches: Tree shape, and backing it with some patterned paper. The sentiment is also included in the Pretty Patches: Tree set.

Finishing me off today is a card using the new Quilt Cuts 2 Die. This sequel to the Quilt Cuts 1 Die also features three different quilt block designs. I stuck to using the star quilt block and combined it with the Clear Cut Stackers: Stars dies to create a fun patchwork focal point.

I started by die cutting the quilt block from four different patterned papers. Next, I adhered them to a piece of black cardstock. I will not lie - this process was time consuming, and maybe a little tedious, but fun in a putting-together-a-puzzle kind of way.

After the quilt pieces were all adhered to the black cardstock, then I die cut it with the largest of the Star stackers.

I combined some other sets to pull the rest of the design together: the checkerboard pattern (stamped first in orange then shifted slightly and stamped again in black - which I LOVE) from Country Charm, the lace design from Mehndi Medallions, and the sentiment from the Pocketful series.

The little starbursts are from Iconic Christmas and were a perfect location for some rhinestone accents. Fun, huh? Renee, I totally thought of you while I was making this :)
