Happy Friday! I hope you all had a good week. Rich caught a bad cold/virus last weekend and shared it with Emilia and I so we are sick now. I hate being sick especially in the summer. Nothing is worse then being stuffed up in June. Rich is doing better now so hopefully it won't last to long for us either and we will be back to normal soon too. The hot weather we were enjoying has gone for now and we are back in the 70's not such a bad thing when you are sick though.
Today I wanted to share a card that I made for a challenge hosted by my Etsygreetings team. We were suppose to make something using the digi paper pack from this seller. This is what I came up with.
As most of you probably know besides stamping I also love quilting. I still have not finished the first quilt I started over 10 years ago because I am quilting it by hand but I love combining quilting and papercrafting because it does not take as long to do. I started by punching 3/4 inch squares of the pattern paper and solid cardstock than I used this tutorial for how to make the block then pieced it together on white cardstock. After that I machine quilted it. Next I stamped the sentiment from the PTI Quilters Samplers set then scanned it and resized it. After that I cut it out with a Spellbinders ribbon slider die and threaded some spring moss twill riboon through it. I embossed the blue background piece using a Tim Holtz Damask Embossing Folder. Some more machine stitching and a Spring Moss Twill bow and spring rain button finish it off.
That's it for now I hope to be back with more to share soon. Until then I hope you have a great weekend and as always thanks for stopping by.

Terri, your card is stunning! I can see that it was a real labour of love to create it.
That is so beautiful! I would never give it away!
So Pretty! Quilts are a labor of love. So detailed like your beautiful card. Hope you feel better over the weekend. Things are going to heat up again.
this is gorgeous...i love the patterns you have chosen to use!!
Terri, this is so gorgeous and obviously labor intensive, but the end result is definitely worth the time you spent on it. I hope you and Emilia are feeling better soon!
Terri...This is so detailed and stunning! Love the tutorial you used and the patterns/colors you chose. As someone else mentioned......I wouldn't want to give this one up!
Beautiful! I hope you feel better soon!
Terri I LOVE it!! It turned out just FABULOUS! the colors are so PRETTY!!! Hope you girls are feeling BETTER!!!!
Have a GREAT day!
Wow, it's really great!! I like the ribbon and sentiment at the bottom, too!
This is so pretty, Terri! Love the papers you chose for your quilt--great design! I also thought it was a neat idea to use that sentiment and then reduce it to fit. Hope you are feeling much better by now!
This is lovely, how great that you stitched on the paper too. And don't worry about that quilt, my first one took me ten years as well, because I also hand quilted it and hand pieced it. I have bought fabric since, but haven't cut a new one yet.
This is so gorgeous - so much detail! Love it!
