WPlus9 recently came out with a quilt-building set that I just had to have for get well cards. This first card is a tribute to my blankie. I am not sure that I love it as a card - but I do love it as a memory! (Check out the little "tufts"!)
And I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.
- Stamps: WPlus9 Quilt Prints, A Pocketful (sentiment)
- Paper: white and Papertrey Vintage Cream
- Ink: Stampin' Up Real Red, Gumball Green, Bashful Blue
- Accessories: WPlus9 Pocketful die, October Afternoon button, cream crochet thread
I love your quilt card! The story was so nice, and I have similar memories, and still have a quilt that brings me comfort when I don't feel well. This stamp set is fabulous, and your design and colors are perfect. Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

ReplyDeleteYour card is wonderful....the colors are great and I love the idea of combining the white with the vintage cream....awesome quilty card!
Beautiful clean and simple! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteKim, your quilt story is heart-warming, and immediately kindled memories of my favourite comfort toy - my raggle-taggle tawny-coloured, crazy-maned, tassle-tailed, green-eyed lion. Oh, but he was a great source of cuddles and snuggles, along with being the best secret-keeper ever!! He even endured the washing machine, when my mom convinced me that he 'wanted' a bubble bath! Love your card; love the memory it evoked. Thank you too for letting me know about the TAWS shoutout. I'm so honoured! Hmmm...maybe I should order even more stamps (waiting for some to arrive; hope it's this week)...Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday.
