This card is larger than I usually make. It is 5" by 7". I made one this large to accommodate the quilt "patch". I didn't have a one-inch square punch, so i used a 1 1/4" punch that I do have, which made the design larger than I desired. So, I rolled with it. Now, I have to see if I have an envelope somewhere!
The design is called a Disappearing Nine-Patch. I started with 9 equal squares and adhered them to a white piece of card stock measuring 3 3/4". I cut the design in half and the resulting two pieces in half. I arranged the pieces into a pleasing design and adhered the pieces onto another 3 3/4" white card stock. Then, I created two frames, one at 4" and the other at 4 1/4", and stacked them. I adhered the stack to the large card base and stamped the sentiment at the top.
I'm sharing this with:
