When buying card stock, try finding the ones creased in the center. Some boxes even have the envelopes included.

I didn't know Williams has a quilt store! My husband and I golf in Williams when we feel the need to get away from the heat in Phoenix. Now I have a new reason to go to Williams!

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.

Here's a good opportunity for someone to start a bussiness. Mary

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.

Oh where, oh where can we find them?

I have some, I buy them and I make my own. Use them all the time! Even quilt cards for Christmas.

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

cr12cats 07-15-2011 07:39 PM

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

Nan C 07-15-2011 08:10 PM

I don't know where to find them, sometimes not so well known card & gift shops carry out of the ordinary stuff

I did not see them there either last year. I think this is turning into a good topic. I hope someone here decides to sell them here if they can without losing money. I know I would buy them.
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.♥♥

Didn't you love the 'see thru' envelope? That way the post office gets to see the card also! I called the store to see if they had any Betty Booper stamps - no because it is licensed.

whinnytoo 07-16-2011 02:31 AM

beautiful cards! never seen them here either

butterflywing 07-16-2011 05:20 AM

i've seen them at quilt shows and gift stores in 'colonial' type villages and other historic landmark places, such as historic cape may. i have a box that i never used. i guess i should.

Lisa - I did love the see thru envelope. 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. ♥♥

Jeanne Fauss 07-20-2011 06:37 PM

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.

debbieumphress 08-02-2011 06:06 AM

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.

DOTTYMO 10-09-2012 12:04 AM

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.

nygal 10-09-2012 02:37 AM

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.

They are out there. The challenge is for quilt shops to stock them. Not all shops understand that they would likely sell them if offered. To do it right is to have a floor rack or counter spinner to display cards, stationery. Just tossing them in a cute basket wont work. The initial investment is probably one obstacle. A filled card rack costs into the hundreds of dollars.

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.

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.
