A Simple Christmas Greeting

This simple patchwork quilt look provides an easy way to use the scraps of any favorite Designer Series Paper by cutting 1 x 1 squares from three patterns. Isn't it amazing that Stampin' Up! paper pack contain coordinating patterns and colors. 

Saturday when we were making this card, my friends that also quilt had "difficulties" since the 1-inch squares are not "perfectly" cut. This card comes together quickly.

Cutting Instructions
Thick Basic White: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Poppy Parade: 3 1/2 x 3 1/2
Basic White: 3 1/4 x 3 1/4, 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 (die cut label), 3 1/4 x 2 (stamp and die cut pine bough) 
Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper: select 3 patterns and cut 3 1-inch squares of each pattern

Assembly
Adhere the 1-inch squares to the Basic White square, leaving a thin border around the squares. Adhere this piece the Poppy Parade square and attach this to the folded card base.
Stamp the full pine bough in stamped off Garden Green and the thinner pine bough on top using Shaded Spruce ink. Die cut, then attach to the card front.
Stamp the sentiment in Poppy Parade on the oval label. Tie a piece of Gold Twisted Thread through the hole in the label and tie into a bow. Use Dimensionals to adhere this to the card front. 

All you need to finish off the card is writing a note inside the card, address an envelope and one Christmas card is ready for the mail.

Any Designer Series Paper and sentiment can be used to make this card your own.
