CIJ - Believe in Santa Quilt Card



Hi, Friends......

I am back to share another Christmas quilt card I made with a large image from patterned paper. I am still undecided whether or not this inlaid die-cut technique is a good way to use these oversized pieces.....or if the quilt block framework draws away from the image too much. I kept to icy aquas with dashes of red from Santa and the sentiment on this card.


Supplies used include:
Gina Marie Designs - Stitched Quilt #3 Block Die - Flower Burst
Quietfire Designs - We Believe in Santa! (retired)
Versafine ink in Crimson Red
Inspired by Stamping - Fancy Labels 3 Dies (retired)
DCWV Patterned Paper and Solid Cardstock
Dollar Store Foam Snowflakes (still trying to use these crazy things up....some of them have 7 points!!)

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope your July is going well. Our weather has finally warmed up and my garden is exploding with growth. Yay! Hope our season is long enough for tomatoes and squashes to ripen!

❤
Janis

    OMGoodness...I love this technique! This is the perfect image and I love your addition of the foam snowflakes! I've got a quilt square die (that's NBUS) and now I'm going to start thinking about using it like this! Thanks for the inspiration and I'm so glad that you joined us over on the Christmas Craft Creations Challenge! Hope to see you again soon!

    So pretty. I do wish I could see just a bit more of Santa, but I think the use of a die-cut to see the picture behind is a great idea! So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our "Christmas in July" challenge at Die Cut Divas.
