Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Ever wish you could tuck a little Christmas quilt into an envelope? This week’s Simply Sunday card comes pretty close! A quilt-block star takes center stage on this quick and easy fun fold, and you get a peek inside before you even open it! A tiny bow and a row of sparkly accents to dress it up, and it’s all from our Stitched Stocking Suite of products.

he A Stitched Season Suite Collection brings the cozy charm of old-fashioned Christmas quilts to your craft table. Think stockings, presents, pine trees, holly, and festive patterns, all ready to mix and match with coordinating stamps, dies, patterned paper, buttons, and stitched ribbon. Add ink, cardstock, and adhesive, and you’re ready to make Christmas cards, scrapbook pages, or a few handmade gift tags.

Let’s get creating ….Our 8 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ base is Smoky Slate and is scored and folded at 5 1/2″. The inside is layered with a piece of 5″ x 3 3/4″ Basic White and matted to a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Peaceful Pine. Now we’ll close the front flap; shorter that leaves part of the inside showing on the right. The Peaceful Pine measures 3″ x 4″ and was stamped with Peaceful Pine ink using one of the patterned stamps included in the Stitched Stocking Bundle. This piece was then die cut, and a piece of 1″ x 4″ piece of Secret Sea cardstock was tucked behind it. Now this piece is attached to the front flap.

The quilt-block star is cut from the A Stitched Season Designer paper and measures 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″. This piece is matted onto a 2 5/8″ x 2 5/8″ of Secret Sea cardstock. This is attached to the flap so extends past the edge, so when you swing it open. Inside there’s room for your Christmas message. Attached to the block was a twine bow and an Adhesive-Backed Mini Christmas Buttons.

To finish off my card, I added a touch of sparkle to the row of quilt stars with basic Rhinestones. That little sparkle reflects the sparkle on the button. This fun fold is a simple twist on an everyday card that makes it just as fun to open as it is to make!

Already thinking of someone who’d love finding this little quilt in their mailbox? Take a peek at the supplies below and pop over to my online store. The A Stitched Season Suite Collection is low in inventory, so if it’s on your wish list, now’s a good time to pick it up.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find time for a little creative escape this Sunday!
