Sew Cute Mini Notebook & Card

Create two mini quilted panels using the Quilt Block Stencil from Altenew. I used Altenew's Turquoise, Warm Sunshine, Puffy Heart and Midnight Violet inks. At first, the stencils seemed daunting, but they're easy to use and great for many cards, not just for quilters/people who sew.
Using a square die, die cut the two stencilled panels.
Die-cut another two squares using a slightly larger scalloped die in a complementary colour. I used the purple scrap on my desk from last week's card, Concord & 9th's Fig cardstock. Attach your quilted panels to the scalloped die cut.
Stamp, colour, and cut all images from Lawn Fawn's Sew Very Mice set.
Die-cut the notecard element using The Greetery's Deco Notecard Die in white. Score and fold.
Attach one of your quilted panels to the notecard, and attach the mouse, dress and small sewing elements to the front.
Stamp the little sentiments, 'snip', 'stitch' and 'happy birthday' on the front from the same Lawn Fawn set.
Add a few little pearls to complete the card.
Next, the notebook: Add the little mouse with his hoop ring to the centre of your second quilted panel.
Cut your notebook's front and back cover in thick card, 3.75" x 4" and add the quilted panel to the front cover.
Cut some quality note paper into squares 3.75" x 4".
Using a Bind-It-All machine or something similar, create your spiral-bound notebook, sandwiching the notepaper between the front and back covers.
Add some twine for a splash of colour and fun!
