1st postcard attempt
 

This was my first time trying to do a postcard...learned from my experience. I used off white fabric for the other side, but thought a paper product would have been better. Any ideas?

Good job. The ones I have received have been done both ways, also with card stock 'batting'. Also, they were heavily starched.

I put petex, the very thick interfacing and on the other side, I put regular cardstock.
on the card stock, I put the address on the right side, and post my message on the left.
I also decorate the left side with markers and rubber stamps. Yours came out great.
Have fun with it. It's very pretty. They get addicting, don't they? Have fun.

That card looks so pretty and well made.

I can see that they would be addicting. How do you mail them?

Pennyhal you can mail them just like any post card, but keep them the same size of 4x6 inches. They stamp the side with the address. Some mail them in an envelope if they have beads or something like that on them. You just make sure you write POST CARD at the top of the side with address.

It looks wonderful! You did a great job.

Your postcard turned out great!

Always admired them never made one.yours is great. I think I would put it in an envelop to post.

Tumdarra: you did an awesome job. I have made several and if you want a free postcard template for cardstock on the back, here is one I found: http://www.timvandevall.com/template...ble-postcards/ Just right click on the link for the back of the postcard, save to your drive and print as needed. I have made several, and like lynnie, use Peltex, a super heavy stabilizer instead of batting. I also bought crystal clear envelopes (50 for $10.95 at a bit larger than 4" x 6") at envelopes.com, to protect my work. Be forewarned, they do cost more to mail than a regular postcard or a normal envelope. Check with your post office.
