Materials: Makes 4 Cards
4 sheets of 6.5" x 10" card stock (this will make four
5" x 6.5" cards)
scraps of fabric at least 8" -10" long
4 pieces of fabric, each measuring 6" x 6" square
cardboard or other cutting surface
exacto knife
double sided tape
4 pieces of 3" square fusible fleece
1/8 yard fusible web
4 pieces of colored paper or construction paper each measuring 4.5" x 9" (for inside cards)
4 pieces of white paper each measuring 4" x 4"
Extra pieces of cardstock for inside card (I used a small diamond shaped piece, plus a 3.5" x 3.5" piece of white
cardstock that I printed to.
cutting template that measures 3" x3" square (or ruler)
(we provide a template that can be printed and cut from a piece of cardboard or card stock)

|
cardstock, cardboard (cutting mat), exacto knife, ruler, template
|
|
Using the template provided, or a ruler, mark off a 3" square on the front of your card. Using the exacto knife, and cardboard as a cutting mat, cut out the
3" square.

Fuse the 3" square of fusible fleece to the wrong side of the quilt block, centered.
Open the card so that you are working from the inside of the card. Lay the quilt block over the opening that you
cut in the card so that the RIGHT side of the quilt block is face down over the opening. The quiltblock should be
centered on the opening. Use double sided tape to adhere the quilt block to the card.
NOTE: The photo below on the right shows the tape on the right side of the quilt block before it is placed on the inside of the card. It is lying on a non-stick purple surface.
HINT: It helps to have the double sided tape run from each corner, most of the way down a side. I place my tape so that
1/2 of it is on the quilt block and 1/2 of it is hangs off the side of the quilt block, exposed. This helps adhere the paper to the card later.

|
Place the colored paper inside the card, centered. Use double sided tape around the edges to adhere the paper
to the inside of the card.
Fold the card. It helps to hold a ruler inside the card, along the fold, to hold the layers in place and create a nice,
sharp crease.
Using double sided tape, adhere other pieces of cardstock to the inside of the card as desired. Print any messages using
a text software program, our template, stamps etc.

Following directions on the fusible web, fuse the web to the wrong side of your scrap pieces of fabric. Cut the fabric
into strips, each about 1/4" wide. Peel off the paper on the back and fuse into place on the card when you are happy with the
placement. Go to: fusible web directions: shamrock shirt for directions on using fusible web.
Refer to the photo at the top of the page for ideas on attaching fabric strips. Other ideas: stitch around the edge of the cut opening, before the inside
paper is attached, but after the block is attached. A satin stitch that overlaps the quilt block and cut edge of card would be nice. Attach buttons and other embellishments
as desired.
