I was poking around on the Papertrey Ink Forum the other day and came across a forum member in search of ideas for reviving her use of the PTI Quatrefoil die.
The thread made me realize that I’ve really neglected this die and I was immediately inspired to bring it back out for some attention.
I like to keep things especially simple with this die, since it is so intricate and busy on it’s own. For today’s project, I also wanted to get creative with the quatrefoil die and use it in a new way.
I decided to create a couple of A1 sized notecards – which was sort of necessary given my approach to using the the die…I’ll show you what I mean:
I trimmed away the edge of the die cut to create a different sort of background for my card. With the edge gone, I had to make the card size smaller than the typical 4.25″ x 5.5″ dimensions, since the die itself is exactly those dimensions.
Then, I adhered the die to the cardbase leaving space on the bottom for a strip of cardstock where I would stamp the sentiment.
With the die cut adhered, I simply trimmed off the excess.
I stamped the sentiment on neutral cardstock backed with a sliver of bold green cardstock.
For the second card, I used the same technique but cut the quatrefoil pattern apart and inserted the sentiment strip in the middle.
I am loving these simple cards! I’m going to be needing lots of thank you cards for wedding gifts and these will work just perfectly!
NOTE: Now, you may be wondering why I didn’t just adhere the full quatrefoil panel to the cardfront and then adhere the sentiment strip on top. Well, I tried that at first, and the finished product just wasn’t as polished as I wanted. I like having the sentiment strip sitting flush against the quatrefoil – almost as if they are one piece. It’s just my preference – you could totally forgo this part of the process!

g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!
Both cards are gorgeous and elegant. I especially love how you added that trim of green on the first one…is unexpected but perfect.
How delightful! xxx
Beautiful, Amber – as always. Your cards are always so polished – I love that. HUGS.
Perfection! Love both of these Amber.
Wonderful tutorial, Amber! And I adore the beauty and elegance of both cards!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the simple elegance of both cards.
Beautiful cards! Really elegant and I like the colors you chose. What glue did you use to hold the quatrefoil down?
I absolutely love that green stripe in the first card, I can’t take my eyes off of it!
Gorgeous! Love the QF without it’s usual edging border. Cutting it off looks far more finished to me in fact. The white card is my fave. Very Tiffany’s.
Hope you’re well. 😉
so gorgeous. elegant. classy, the die is wonderful, i NEED that die
Wow, very classy – love what you did with this die :o)
May I ask how you adhered it ( I maybe missed that – LOL)
Both of these cards are absolute STUNNERS, Amber and I think cutting of the sides of the die actually works perfectly! Now I want, want, want this die – it’s been sold out both times I’ve placed PTI orders since it came out….I hope I can get my hands on it next time. Thanks for the inspiration. xx
Beautiful cards!!
I loved them so much so I copied your cards, hope that was ok. You can see mine here http://skapatmedhjartat.blogspot.com/2012/02/antligen-anvandning-for-dessa-papper.html
