Quilt Block Thank You Card

Quilt block card

I'm back!!!  After 3 months of recovering from double spinal fusion surgery, I am finally able to work in my craft room again!  I am so very happy to be creating, sharing and inspiring!

My sister Carrie loves quilting and I wanted to make a card that was specifically personal to her.  This card is 5" x 7". Sometimes, you just need a bigger card and this was one of those occasions for me.  Carrie spent two critical weeks helping to care for me after major surgery so I had lots to write in her card.  This is my first quilt block card, and I have to say that I really enjoyed making it.  I see myself making more in the future.  

Cutting Instructions:
  • Card Base- Basic White Thick: 10" x 7", scored at 5".  This is a side fold card.
  • DSP card base front strip: 2" x 6".  See Assembly Instructions for further detail.
  • Focal point matte layer- Shaded Spruce: 4" x 4"
  • Base of focal point - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"
  • 4 DSP strips:  5/8” x 6” strips  
  • Corner squares of quilt block - Basic White: 7/8" x 7/8" (4 pcs)
  • Sentiment label - Basic White: Die cut
  • Sentiment label matte - Shaded Spruce: Die cut
  • Linen Thread: 19"
  • Inner matte layer - Shaded Spruce: 4 1/2" x 6 1/2"
  • Inner message liner - Basic White: 4" x 6"

Assembly Instructions:
  • Using Bone folder, burnish score line
  • Using score tool, score Basic White 3/ 3/4" x 3 3/4" from corner to corner creating an X.
  • Cut DSP strips from 5/8" x 6" to 5/8" x 3".  Adhere 1 of each color on right side of the X score line, matching up square at the center.  Adhere remaining color strips butted up to intersecting color so that it looks like it was woven.  Trim excess strip off of 3 3/4" x 3 3/4".  Save these trimmings.
  • Adhere 7/8" x 7/8" to each corner to create the illusion of mitered corners.
  • Emboss all layers through with embossing folder.
  • Adhere to matte layer.
  • Using Night of Navy ink, stamp sentiment on label.  Using Paper Snips cut sentiment label matte layer in half horizontally.  Adhere to back of Sentiment Label.
  • Cut 2" x 6" DSP strip into 3 pcs: 2" x 2".  Adhere 2" x 2" at center vertically, aligning the 2" wide top edge of the DSP with the top of the card base front.  Use a pencil to mark the bottom placement of the quilt square.  Adhere the next 2" x 2" DSP strip to underlap the quilt block placement.  Adhere the last 2" x 2" DSP strip aligned with the bottom of the card base front.  
  • Using dimensionals, adhere the Quilt square so that the top and sides are 1/2" from edge of card base.  Using dimensionals, adhere matted sentiment label below quilt square and covering the space between the 2" x 2" DSP strips.
  • Adhere linen thread bow using mini glue dot.
  • Using trimmings from the quilt block, adhere 2 in upper left corner and 2 in lower left corner of inner message liner.  Trim off any excess.  Adhere to inner matte layer.  Adhere to inner card base.  
I hope this card inspired you :)
