September Quilt

Each month I make 20 cards for one of the churches that I am connected with. My Stamp Camps are held at these churches. I appreciate that I have a beautiful and spacious facility to host my camps. In exchanged I make 20 cards (or whatever they need)for their Shut-in program. I love doing this. I get to stamp a bunch of cards which is fun. It gives me another opportunity to be creative. What a ministry opportunity for me. These cards are sent to ladies who are unable to attend church for one reason or another. I am so blessed by this opportunity each month. I don't know the ladies who get them but I pray my cards brighten their day.

This month I thought the "Christmas Quilt" Bundle would be the perfect one to use. It's not anywhere near warm enough for quilts yet, here in California it has been over 100 every day lately, but we are starting into the fall season. So I went with softer colors on a warm design. The greeting came from Eastern Beauty. That is how I feel when I am making these cards.

Cut the quilt frame and the square frame in Whisper White.

Cut the quilt frame in the Retired Designer Series Paper Stack Pool Party - You will use only the center pieces
Cut the quilt frame in the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper - You will use only the center pieces
Cut 2 more quilt frames (1) Pool Party (1) Sahara Sand - You will use the outside pieces only
This will give you enough for 2 cards except for the Whisper White piece. You will need to cut one more for the second card.

Cut Whisper White 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 (just short of the white frame)
Cut 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and adhere it to the Whisper White square
Attach the Whisper White frame to the Whisper White square with the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet up. You are going to use that adhesive to attach the inside pieces of the quilt design. This is much easier than using SNAIL and less messy than a liquid glue.
Start putting your pieces into the design alternating and following the pattern
Once you have finished the quilt design, adhere it to a 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 Pool Party
Then to 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 Sahara Sand

Cut the flower design out of Pool Party and Sahara Sand and attach it to the front of the quilt
Put a Silver Metallic Shape (heart) in the center
The card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored @ 4 1/4 Pool Party. The layer attached to that is Whisper White 5 1/4x 4 and stamped with the greeting in Sahara Sand.
