Scrap Paper – Stamping NoNo Style

I love these coordinating DSP patterns. However, I learned that creating the look of a heart shape quilt should have similar colors. That’s another tip that I will remember!

I took the quilt card a step further and embossed it giving it texture and it reminded me of an actual quilt. It completely changed the look when compared to the first one I made which I posted yesterday (2 Feb 2022).

As you can see below, the heart shape is difficult to see. Still pretty, however, the heart shape is not obvious. I thought about outlining the heart with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker, but was concerned I would ruin the card.

I was so excited to make another card, that I forgot to take pictures along the way. The steps to assemble the heart are provided below using the same pictures I used in my previous post (2 February 2023).

So here’s the updated list of TIPS: Use three coordinating DSP. Two should be like colors to form the heart shape and the third is placed around the heart shape. Cutting the squares all equally is a must. Using “directional” patterns are tricky when you cut them diagonally, so have a few extra square pieces available.

Card Base, Sweet Sorbet, 4 ¼ x 11, score at 5 ½
Basic White, 4 ¼ x 4 ¼
Petal Pink, 4 1/8 x 4 1/8
DSP, three coordinating patterns, 1 x 1

Instructions:

Prepare card base, stamp the sentiment towards the bottom, set aside.
Using a ruler and pencil, draw the center horizontally and vertically on the Basic White. (You won’t see the pencil marks once you adhere the DSP.)
To begin, you will start in the center and adhere the first square and then alternate patterns. You will cut several of the squares diagonally and adhere the pieces until it forms the shape of a heart.
The third pattern will be placed around the heart. All but two pieces of this pattern will be cut diagonally.
Cut down to 4 x 4 and emboss using the Cut & Emboss machine.
Adhere to the mat using adhesive of choice.
Adhere to card base using dimensionals and add embellishment.

I am by no means a quilter, although I would love to learn how to be a quilter. Unfortunately, my crafting abilities fall short in the sewing arena. I can barely sew a button on!

Now that I made this card, I’m a little obsessed with making more. I imagine that’s how a quilter feels! These are my first ones and I will post later this week my others that I’m still working on.

This is an easy pattern to follow with some helpful tips. Cutting the squares all equally is a must. Using “directional” patterns are tricky when you cut them diagonally, so I would have a few extra square pieces available. I used three patterns. Two were to create the heart shape and the third was used around the heart.
