\n<\/a>Welcome to the\u00a0Our Daily Bread designs<\/span>\u00a0April<\/strong>\u00a0Release Blog Hop<\/strong><\/span>! We have some beautiful images\u00a0& fabulous dies\u00a0for you this month, no fooling!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/em><\/span>For both of my cards today, I’m featuring the beautiful new Star Quilt <\/strong><\/span>stamp & the Star Quilt die<\/strong><\/span>. Now technically, they don’t fit together, but on this first card, I did use the die to emboss only on top of the stamped image. I stamped the Star Quilt<\/strong><\/span> image on heavy white c\/s..once using the seaglass ink, twice using the celadon ink & once using the whisper gray ink. Please note, since I used pigment ink on these, I made sure to heat set it w\/ my heat gun so it wouldn’t rub off.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

Here’s the part where I embossed the Quilt die on top of the stamped image.\u00a0\u00a0I die cut one of the celadon stamped images using the next to largest Square <\/strong><\/span>die to use as my base quilt image.<\/span>\"Star
\n<\/a>As I mentioned, the die & image don’t fit together for die cutting, but I noticed they do line up pretty well for embossing & I wanted that stitched fabric look. In order to line them up, I used a piercing tool to poke a small hole in the center of the image.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/a>\"Star
\n<\/a>Then I lined it up w\/ the center hole in the die w\/ the image face down on the cutting side\u00a0of the die. In this position, I lined up the edges of the image so they would be square on the die. I placed it like this on the magnetic sheet & placed the rubber embossing mat on top & embossed it.<\/span>
\n<\/a>\"Star
\n<\/a>I repeated this embossing on the seaglass & other celadon stamped quilts.\u00a0I fussy cut parts of the whisper gray version (the squares & triangles around the borders) then positioned them inside a Double Stitched\u00a0Square<\/strong><\/span> die to get the stitching cuts. I know it seems like a lot of work, but that’s the look I wanted. The angled\u00a0star quilt center was fussy cut & attached offset from the base star. I also die cut the Star <\/strong><\/span>& Double Stitched Star<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0& buttons<\/strong><\/span> out of leftover quilt image parts.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/a>\"Star
\n<\/a>The polka dot paper<\/strong><\/span> was die cut first w\/ the Flourished Star Pattern<\/strong><\/span> & that piece was repeatedly cut down using smaller Double Stitched Rectangles<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0& Rectangles<\/strong><\/span> with one white layer inserted between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the inside using another fussy cut Star Quilt centerpiece.\u00a0<\/span>

\"Quilted
\n<\/a>For this quilt card, I went with a more dramatic color combo & I used the Star Quilt die<\/strong><\/span> and not the image this time. I die cut the Star Quilt<\/strong><\/span> in black (twice), and one each in 3 solid shades of tan\/brown & 3 polka dot shades of tan\/brown (all from the Ephemera Essentials paper<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Quilted
\n<\/a>I\u00a0also die cut one Star Quilt<\/strong><\/span> out of ivory to use as my base so I would have something to attach them all to. Sort of like doing a 100 piece puzzle, lol. After I arranged the pieces like I wanted & attached them, I attached one of the black grids of the quilt on top of the pieces. The other black grid fell on top at an angle, & I thought…hmmm..that looks pretty good! So just for fun, behind some of the pieces (the black ones & the one directly next to them) I added other tan colors to make a complicated paper piecing even more intricate! Then I attached this black grid on top, turned at about a 20\u00a0degree angle then trimmed off the corners that stuck out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what the angle at which the two were attached looks like. The polka dot would be the squared frame & the solid is the angled one. The corners that stuck out were trimmed off.<\/span>
\n\"Quilted<\/a><\/p>\n

I added a Double Stitched Square<\/strong><\/span> frame on top to have a little bit heftier border then added it to my card. the tan sun<\/strong><\/span> shape & one of the polka dot centers were attached in place.<\/span>
\n\"Quilt
\n<\/a>The greeting<\/strong><\/span> was rearranged a bit & I replaced the Q w\/ a Flourished Alphabet<\/strong><\/span> Q. In order to die cut the greeting, I had to do a little resizing<\/span> using\u00a0a Double Stitched Square<\/strong><\/span> die.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the inside.\u00a0<\/span>
