I have not seen them in our part of Ok. Yhey are really pretty. I think a lot of quilters would use them. I know I would.

There are many quilted card sellers on Etsy...of all types...photos, pieced, sewn, you name it. Just search quilt cards to find them.

I had to copy all these wonderful ideas. Great ideas to share. I agree Lawsonmugs, I always say you can sell more for 2.00 and make money or sell it for more and let it sit.
I had a sale today, sold everything reasonable and free shipping and sold out quick. Just saying. My PDA is locked. I am leaving HUGS everyone. [ATTACH=CONFIG]226965[/ATTACH] |

Oh where, oh where can we find them?

Debbie - you sure look good = no hospital pallor on your face!

Several of the quilt shops sell them under "Gifts."

you can find the blank ones in the scapebooking area in most stores. i found some at office max and the last ones at wal mart. here is a fun site that you can use to do your own that comes with printed frames. it is free. it is on printablepaper.com go to the bottom for there download i unclicked the two checks cause i don't want that and just follow the derections. they also have some templates of different forms on the printable site for example the door hangers are fun
|
Wow would you let me use them too? It sounds like they will be really neat?

I rec'd one today from Lisa in Ok who is on this board that she made. Awesome. Don't know if she saw this or just sent me one. LOL. Thanks Quilt-fanatic.♥♥ |

Was wondering how the USPS let it go thru but the markings did show up a little. SO cute. I agree with someone here...looks like a chance for a new business or selling them here since it is not something we can come by easily. I love all the sites and suggestions. WE have some multi talented quilters on the QB. Thanks fo sharing, everyone. I hope we get more ideas too. TOnight I plan to read thru this post and write down everything to keep the ideas. Today I go to Walmart to make pictures from my quilt cd's and put them on the front of cards,. Loved that idea. ♥♥ |
I like that idea, about using photo's of our own quilts....neat idea. Maybe for Christmas cards....I don't send out too many cards anymore, except sympathy and get wells.
|
OK I am taking my sd card to town with me today and making copies of my quilts to put on cards and such and buying card stock. Staples is one of my stops and they have lots of paper items. No scrap booking stores here. Thanks everyone for sharing where they buy things.
Betty Boop is licensed? OK then her bettyboop.com site should have plenty. I'll have to look. |
The bottom one is by Carol Wilson Arts. She makes gorgeous stationery, etc. i have some of hr Christmas quilt theme cards to send this year.

I love those,'specially the kittys laurelburch. Id love them
|
I made my own Christmas cards once. They went to family and my father was the only one who appreciated the time I had spent. The rest threw them out with the other cards..never again.
|
I buy them when I see them. I end up wanting to keep them! I have some embossed ones that I love the most.

Candlelite Quilts of Chelmsford, MA, makes really cute quilters cards. The front is a picture of the quilt and quilt name, open it to find the pattern for the quilt, and on the back you can write your note. The best part is that the quilts use 8 half yard cuts for the quilt top.

But people do by multiple cards at one time. Hence the success of Hallmark stores! I always stock up on cards to have on hand. Sandy |
You can cut a pattern from your fabric, spray glue the back of the fabric and stick it on a card. You can zig-zag the edges or use ric-rac, whatever. Works great. Just buy blank card stock from a office store. Hope that helps.
