And now for a cozy quilt inspired tutorial from our CP Girl Lori Gentile!

-------------------------------------------

Hello Crate Paper friends! Lori Gentile with you today to share a layout about my favorite time of year. I love all things Fall. In California the majority of trees do not shed their leaves or turn colors. So, we see a spattering of yellow, gold, and red against a giant backdrop of lush green. Our family does gather up the few leaves that do fall and have, at least, one day of blissful leaf throwing playtime.

 

Crate Paper Supplies Used:

Restoration Pattern Paper {Fringe & Lace}
Snow Day Pattern Paper {Mittens, Festive & Melt}
Snow Day Phrase Stickers
Snow Day Border Stickers
Snow Day Layered Chipboard Accents
School Spirit Pattern Paper {Homeroom}
Pink Plum Chipboard Accents
Brook Chipboard Accents
Brook Sparkle Chips

 

Cut 1 ¾ x 12” strips from Fringe, Mittens, Festive, Melt and Homeroom papers. Then cut three 1 ¾ x 1 x ¾ “ squares from each strip.

 

 Bend each side up to create some texture.

 

Ink each edge. I like it messy and quick!

 

Plan out where on the Lace paper you want your squares to go.

 

Place a small dot of glue in the center of each square to adhere your square. It’s best to have the adhesive in the center only, so as not to sew through it and ruin your machine needle.

 

Sew a border around the outside of the Lace paper.

 

Sew around the edge of each of the top squares in the first row.

 

Place a generous amount of Glossy Accents to the orange sections of the Pink Plum chipboard blossom. I do this by running the skinny tip back and forth, back and forth.

 

While the Glossy Accents is still wet, pour orange micro beads on top of your chipboard to cover glossy areas. Shake off any excess beads and set the chipboard aside to dry.

 

When the micro beads have dried, ink the edges of your chipboard with brown ink.

 

Cut  down the orange and green Snow Day border stickers down to ¾ in length and ink their edges. Adhere them to lower left portion of your squares.

 

Start on the left side and sew a zig zag stitch and then a straight stitch across the length of the border stickers. Next, sew three journaling lines below the border stickers on the very left side.

 

Complete your layout with images, journaling and embellishing at will.

Thank-you so much for spending time with me today! I hope you've enjoyed the tutorial - I'll see you next month!
