When I first saw this Quilt Card idea, I thought it looked SO complicated, and I hesitated to try it… but friends, this is one of the easiest cards you’ll ever make that looks difficult!!

I used my friend Sharon’s post and video as my guide, then made a couple changes, because, isn’t that what we do? We get inspired by a fabulous project, then we put our own spin on it!? I do!

A hand holds a handmade birthday card with layered yellow and floral-patterned paper, an origami star centerpiece, and an embossed white background. The card reads "Happy Birthday!" in bold white letters on black, with “Patty Bennett PATTYSTAMPS.COM” at the bottom. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I used the Brushed with Beauty paper and 3 cardstock colors that coordinated with it. Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Old Olive.

I also decided when I was assembling these cards that maybe the “blank” 4 corners needed a little somethin-somethin, so I die cut these pretty corners with dies from the Beautifully Celebrated bundle and added them on the corners of 2 of the 3 cards.

A handmade card with yellow, pink, and floral papers features a white die cut shape and decorative yellow die cut corners. Other paper pieces and yellow die cuts are arranged on a grid mat. Text reads “Die Cut Corners from the Beautifully Celebrated bundle.”. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Above is the Crushed Curry version. Below is the Calypso Coral version. I used the Brushed with Beauty paper for my corner die cut pieces on the card below.

A handmade thank you card features layered, patterned paper in peach, white, and tan tones with a geometric quilt card design. “Thank you” is written in bold letters at the center. Embossed white details add texture—no stamping used. A hand holds the card. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Each card has an embossed background. Check out my free download for more info and see the product photos at the bottom of this post for Stampin’ Up! papercrafting supply info. Please click any photo to shop in my online store. Thank you!

I wrote the measurements down wrong when I watched Sharon’s video, so you’ll notice my cardstock square is 4″ instead of 3″, so that’s why I decided to emboss the entire cardfront. (which is a twist on Sharon’s version).

A handmade quilt card features layered geometric shapes with green, yellow, floral, and polka-dot patterns on a white embossed background. No stamping is used; a star-shaped embellishment centers the design with "thankful for you" at the bottom right. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I hope you enjoy this idea! You might have noticed, there is NO stamping on these quilt cards! You could certainly stamp your greetings, or stamp an image for the center. I used a Beautifully Adorned gold vellum ephemera piece in the center, and all of my sentiments are from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

Five handmade Quilt Cards are displayed on a marble surface, each with layered patterned squares in pinks, greens, and neutrals. No Stamping is needed—just follow the easy Quilt Card Tutorial for these beautiful, sentiment-ready cards. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
