Anna I make my Christmas cards and other occasions with paper pieced fronts. Here are a few I have done in the past. I make the pictures so they fit inside the 2" cut out I make with a paper cutting stamper that I bought at Michaels and print the greetings on card stock before I cut out the hole. This is one I made for Thanksgiving dinner several years ago [ATTACH=CONFIG]55062[/ATTACH] I use this one for quick notes [ATTACH=CONFIG]55063[/ATTACH] This is one of the Christmas cards, I printed the picture frame and then cut out the picture area with an exact knife.

Anna Here's a link to the pictures and a tutorial for you!! http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/10436.page Tutorial: How to make fabric postcards [ATTACH=CONFIG]55122[/ATTACH] |
Very nice, I love them all!!!
|
Those are AWESOME! I wish I knew how to paper piece.

i've never done quilted postcards, so i don't know this: after so much work, do you really put them in the mail and send them anywhere? i think they would suffer from traveling. am i misunderstanding how it works?
|
I read the tute and it said to add a 39 cent stamp so that was a long time ago LOL
|
I have done a few and really enjoyed the process. When it was time to mail, I went to the post office and asked to have the postcard hand canceled. I paid the amount for a letter and off the fabric postcard went in the mail.
