I have had very little time to go into my craft room lately. It seems when I try to make a card, it doesn't quite come together, so I create a pile of coordinating paper, card stock, ribbon, or other embellishments and set it aside. As of this morning, I had several little "piles". These piles clutter my craft room and block my ability to create. Can you create in clutter? I think some people are probably inspired by the clutter and are able to create fabulous cards and projects with the supplies strewn around them. I cleaned up some of the piles, refiling the card stock and decorative papers and embellies. As I cleared some work space, I came across a handful of BasicGrey Lemonade die cut flowers and chipboard pieces leftover from the card kit. I pulled out scraps of BG Lemonade papers from my 6x6 pad. I tried a new idea for my quilt card (tutorial here): I dry embossed the entire top note die and front of base card (DCWV). The card truly looks quilted in real life; so soft and feminine. What do you think? My tag die is QuicKutz and the sentiment is a SU stamp. Both the top note die and die cut flower are popped up on SU dimensionals.Be sure to come back tomorrow morning for my weekly Be Inspired cards...it is doubly good :)

Sweet! I love how the cuttlebugging makes it look like quilted fabric---just brillant! BTW, my mother's day card for my mom was done as a top note die quilted. Great minds think alike, huh? Only wish I had thought to cuttlebug mine :(
I LOVE this! I am sooooo gonna steal it, too. :-)
Aaah--this is beautiful and an elegant creation.
this is stunning!
Gorgeous embossing! It totally looks like a piece of quilt fabric! Fabulous June! I can't create in clutter, either. It always feels good to tidy up my craft goodies!! ♥♥ Kay
