Does anyone have any ideas to make "quilted" ishy Christmas cards?

I've never done it, but this link looks pretty easy to follow and their cards are cute.

Thanks Lisa, that is fun. Can't wait to try it.

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.

I made over 20 quilted postcards last year for my friends who donated fabric to me, they are such fun to make :D

Here's a link to the pictures and a tutorial for you!!

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.
