A Patchwork of Happiness

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Sewing themed Circle Accordion Card using products from Made To Surprise and Waffle Flower Crafts.

I made this for my friend, who loves sewing, especially quilting etc so I normally make her a card with this theme each year. This year when Waffle Flower released all the sewing themed products I had to get some for this card.

The card base itself was created using Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's Circle Accordion Showstopper die set which is one that was released a few months back.

For the centre circle panel, I used Waffle Flower's Meandering Texture Die to add the texture to the background, this was also used on all the oval panels and the skinny rectangle panels. I used dies from the Notions die set to add the sewing tools. The postage stamps were created using Waffle Flower's Postage Collage die set and the Postage Collage Sew Fun Stencil. Rather than using the full panel, I cut this panel up to add to the card.

For all the quilted panels I used the Quilted Floral Stencil with the Meandering Texture Die to give them. that quilted look.

The sentiments are all from the Quilted Hugs stamp set.

Here is a look at my card, when it is folded to be placed in an envelope. It will fit inside a 5 x 7 envelope.
