I learned how to make a quilt pattern with the top note die at my last stamp club class. It doesn't look so much like a quilt because I got a little OCD and thought like colors should line up when, in fact, a quilt doesn't usually work that way. Oh well, it's still a quilt to me! LOL!
I used the Bella Bleu DSP (one of my favorites for sure# for my quilt pattern using the top note die. You just punch twelve 1-1/4 squares from your dsp and glue them side by side in whatever pattern you want on a piece of white card stock measuring 3-3/4 x 5 - then you run it through your CB with the top note die cut. You can make all kinds of really neat patterns with it.
To add to the text theme, I used the script ef over the top note die cut, although it may be hard to see in the photo, and I used the En Francais B/G stamp on the Not Quite Navy Card Stock behind it. Then, I embossed in white "Merci" to go with my French theme! Boy, do I have it together or what - NOT!!! LOL!
I actually made this card first and then accidentally found that it looked really good with just the Not Quite Navy with the embossed b/g and the embosslit flower which I posted just before this.
I added pearls, the simple flower embosslit, a specialty button from Joannes #made in Spain-hope that doesn't mess up my French theme - don't tell anyone okay?# and a ribbon.
Thanks for stopping by to look. Let me know what you think if you have the time. Have a great evening!

Love your quilt pattern card. I just did one of those with the top note die last week and used some of my SU paper. Haven't finished the card yet because I didn't have the right ribbon for it. Pam, I have to say I like yours better than mine. Really like using just the blue and vanilla. Very pretty!!!

I chuckle at your description of your OCD quilting! Great card - love that Spanish button (French and Spanish have a lot of overlap don't they?) These colours look great together - great card!

Just too lovely! Love all of your choices and how they came together. (Oh and OCD is a disorder only to those who don't have it...I think it's "orderly") ;)

Woohoo, congratulations Pam on being today's Featured Stamper!!!! This is the lovely card of yours I chose to case, mine is nowhere near as nice as yours though.
Love your gallery, it was so hard to choose!
Hugs,
