I haven't posted for quite a while as there has been a lot happening in my world outside my craft room. Even though I haven't been creating as much as I would like, I did order some awesome goodies out of the 2017 Holiday Catalogue from Stampin' Up! The only thing is, I am a little bit 'Grinchy' when it comes to Christmas in general, so I decided to use the Quilt Builder Framelits for some not Christmas note cards in a little pizza box. Those pizza boxes had been burning a hole in my craft drawer and I had been dying to use them!
Here are the cards I made (excuse the slight glare issue with the foil sheet):
I used the Painted Autumn DSP and Lemon Lime Twist cardstock with the Framelits and glued it onto a Whisper White 3"x3" square card base. I also used some Gold foil sheet in the middle sections as I hadn't had a chance to try it out yet. It felt a little bit like doing a jigsaw putting all the little pieces into the quilt. I would say that the fine tip glue pen is a must when gluing down the frame part of the quilt. Then I added a gold faceted gem to the middle of each. The gems and fine tip glue pen are in the current Annual Catalogue.
Then to decorate the pizza box, I cut out an 8.8cm square of DSP for the lid and four 8.8cm x 2.4cm strips for the sides. This was still from the Painted Autumn set, just a different sheet to the sides. I used one sides pattern for the lid and the other side for the sides. I added a little orange and gold flower to the top which was cut from the Quilt Builder dies.

Everything other than the fine sections was glued using Tombow - which I must say is the best smelling glue in the universe. If you have any questions, just ask :)
