Quilted Card - "Happy Holly Days"

I saw a fabulous card over with Katie at Crafting with Katie (original post here) for a Quilted Card.  I knew I just had to try it!

I've used "Echo Park - Very Merry Christmas" papers to create my card.  The recipe is as follows:

- Card base - 4.25" square

- Mat (Striped) - 4" square

- 9 x squares at 1.25" (4 x green; 4 x red; 1 x bauble pattern).  Green and Red squares cut on the diagonal to form triangles.

- 1 x ornament (Striped) from "My Creative Time - Warm Holiday Fun" stamp and die kit

- 1 x tag base (same as card base colour) from "My Creative Time - Teeny Tag Die" stamp and die kit

- Sentiment "Happy Holly Days" from "My Creative Time - From Our Family to Yours" stamp kit

- Hemp Twine

After cutting the red and green squares on their diagonal, I then joined a red diagonal cut and a green diagonal cut together to create new squares.  I then pieced the squares together in the same formation as with Katie's card.

Next time I might use a different contrast or different pattern papers to create a different look. 

Thanks for the inspiration Katie!

Cheers!
