Patchwork with the Top Note Die……

I love this technique!

Start with a piece of cardstock 5″x 3-3/4″.

Using the 1-1/4″ square punch, punch 12 squares from various printed papers.

Use the 2 way glue pen to adhere the squares to the larger cardstock. (This way the corners won’t lift once the piece has been die cut.

Line the “quilt square” upside down on the Top Note Die, pay close attention to the points, the measurements are close.

With a Stampin’ Write Marker, make small “x” stitching lines.  I went over the dotted out line with the marker as well.

On this quilt square, I put it through the big shot once more with a texturz die, to give it a little more of a “quilt” look.

Blog_Tour Image April_27Mark your calendar for Monday, April 27th……..that's when the fun begins.  Hitch a ride along with us for the first ever Blog Tour!  (At least it's my first ever).  First stop is right here on my blog.  I'll be sharing with you several examples using the "Wagon Full Of Fun" Stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

But there's more……

After you browse my examples, your next stop will be my blogging friend Brenda Marshall at Stampsandtea .  She'll be showing you how to use the fun and summery stamp set "Just Beachy" from the Occasions Mini Catalog!

There's even more…..

On Brenda's blog, you'll find a link to your  next stop, and so on.  Upon arrival at each stop, you'll find examples from
a different stamp set in the Occasions Mini Catalog! There will be a whole wealth of ideas for you on this tour. There are 20 stops in all, and you won't want
to miss a single one. The links will be available only on April 27th, so please don't miss the bus.

Yep, as always, we have a special to go along with this adventure!
