A card from April Kit scraps

Do you have lots of little scraps of patterned paper leftover when you scrap? I always do. This card is a fun way to use lots of little pieces.

I used a 1" square punch to make 12 squares out of the April kit papers and glued them down on a piece of cardstock. Then I used my Stampin'Up Top Note die to cut out the "quilted shape". I used my pen for the faux stitching (but if you had leftover rubons, they'd work great, or real machine stitching). Added a little ribbon scrap from my stash, one of the CC stickers and a gem left from March's kit, and the card is complete! There are lots of ways you could make a "quilted look" card with your scraps, so be creative!
