2. Step 2 Rotate the stacked scrapbook paper. Reinsert the stack into the trimmer and make another cut. Keeping the layers in order, place the cut pieces next to the previously cut pieces to recreate the original rectangle.

Step 3Continue working, rotating and cutting until you have five sections
.

3. Step 4 Pick up one stack and shuffle the top layer to the bottom of the pile.
forth shuffle four layers. Keep the fifth stack as it is.

5. Step 6 Add adhesive to one of the 3-3/4” X 5” piece of cardstock. Using the top layer from each stack, reassemble the pieces.



6. Step 7 For the second card use the second layer from each stack, and so on to create the five quilted pieces.



7. Step 8
Trim a tiny bit from each side to even up the edges.

8. Step 9
Layer each quilted piece on the accent layer and then on the card base. Have fun decorating!

9. Step 10 Complete the project

I really love that tutorial! I'm adding it to my list. I absolutely adore tutorials that result in multiple cards. I wonder if I could find 5 coordinated pieces for the quilted bits in my scrap box.

Thanks for the link, Jill! When I reread your post I realized I was supposed to look at the cards at Split Coast.
That is a really cute idea, great way to use scraps or those 6 x 6 papers we all have.

There's a youtube video out there somewhere with this being done.... I've been setting youtube to autoplay just to keep noise going for Chevie... and I caught this one when I was sitting down... so... no idea who was doing it.. but they sure were quick and easy!! Great idea, Jill!!

I went down to Helen's house yesterday and knocked out 20 of these cards. I had a bunch of these diecut to/from tags that worked perfectly on the fronts. I ran out of blue ones and just stamped a sentiment on a strip. I'll put sentiments on the insides of the cards and they'll be finished... whoohhhooo!!
