9 ~ On the next stack, take 3 fabrics and move them to the bottom of that stack

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83861[/ATTACH]

10 ~ Continue in this manner 4 more times (one stack will remain in the original order and all stacks have a different fabric on top)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83862[/ATTACH]

12 ~ Now you start placing the pieces onto the cardstock in order, butting up the edges

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83863[/ATTACH]

15 ~ I like to give it a little press at this point to help set the glue

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83866[/ATTACH]

18 ~ Using a zig-zag or other decorative stitch, stitch down the \u0093seams\u0094

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83867[/ATTACH]

2 ~ Layer fabrics on top of each other

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83949[/ATTACH]

3 ~ With old blade in rotary cutter, cut cardstock in half across width

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83950[/ATTACH]

5 ~ With sharp blade in rotary cutter, slice through fabrics in desired pattern (I like to use pattern weights to keep pieces from shifting)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83951[/ATTACH]

8 ~ On the next stack, take 2 fabrics and move them to the bottom of that stack

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83954[/ATTACH]

11 ~ Take one of the pieces of cardstock and brush a thin layer of glue all over it . . . you don\u0092t have to go quite to the edges, but I still like to use something on my work surface to protected it from roaming glue (I used Mod Podge)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83955[/ATTACH]

13 ~ Tell the quilt inspector \u0093This is not a quilt!\u0094

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83957[/ATTACH]

14 ~ \u0093Who, me?\u0094

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83958[/ATTACH]

16 ~ I then like to set it under something heavy to help flatten it while it continues to dry and I work on the next one.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83959[/ATTACH]

17 ~ Now you\u0092re ready to sew. I used a shiny gold thread which looks really pretty.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83962[/ATTACH]

You\u0092re almost done.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83963[/ATTACH]

19 ~ Again, using your old cutting blade, trim to the size of the front of your greeting card (4 1/4\u0094 x 5 1/2")[Note: The one I have pictured isn\u0092t cut to the correct size, I discovered after the picture was taken. If you end up miscalculating and cut a bit smaller, you can just center it on the card.]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83964[/ATTACH]

20 ~ I have some little glitter stars that I\u0092m gluing to the middle intersection. You could use a button, yo-yo, or anything you like or nothing at all. Affix this card with glue or double-backed tape to the front of your blank card. Add a greeting. It\u0092s done! I discovered that I was trimming quite a bit off of one side, so I dug the pieces out of the garbate and think they will make cute gift tags.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83966[/ATTACH]

Here\u0092s the one I did with different fabric and a fussy-cut butterfly.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83967[/ATTACH]

4 ~ Draw a sample pattern on one of your pieces of cardstock. You want the same number of pieces after you cut as you have fabrics (in this case, 8)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83983[/ATTACH]

6 ~ You now have 8 stacks of fabric in the same order

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83984[/ATTACH]

7 ~ Take the top fabric of one stack and move it to the bottom of that stack
