Sunshine in my pocket

Quilts Have Feelings Too…

July 27, 2018 Paper Crafting

Hello! Let me just explain that blog title! When you make a quilt, the colors and styles of the fabric (or paper) give the quilt a certain feeling. So today I am going to show you three very different quilts that evoke different feelings…

This first one reminded me of hunting (or safari) so I decided to use some die cuts in black to add the details. Some deer and trees make for a great hunting feel! Then I added some embroidery floss in green and attached it to the needle from the Sewing Kit die…that needle was die cut from some silver foil paper.

Now compare the feeling of that quilt to this next quilt card:

This one is definitely brighter and very happy! I love the vibrant colors of these papers from this pack. The flower is the Aster die and I added the new Hugs die with a green shadow to match the leaves. I added some color to the flower with Distress Oxide inks and a finger dauber.

And my last quilted card to share is using these dies to create those Quilted Squares. sunshine-dont-give-up

I used different papers from this paper pad to add a pop, and the Lattice Background die to emboss the background. The sentiment is heat embossed in white on a black background and is from the Walk By Faith stamp/die duo.

I really love all the looks you can get from these sets! The first one is definitely more of a masculine feeling, don’t you think? Hope you enjoyed a look at these projects today!

May your days be filled with sunshine,
