Quilted Ornament Card

Quilted Ornament Card

Take a photo of a favorite quilt and print it at 4x6". Use the ornament pattern below to cut out a circle shape from your photo. Cut the ornament hoop and loop shapes from cardstock. Adhere the cut-out shapes onto the front of card foundation. (We mounted the ornament base onto a red scalloped circle cut slightly larger than the base to make it pop.) Embellish the card with rickrack, ribbon, scalloped cardstock strips, and stitching. Add a sticker or printed greeting.
