Greetings!

I got sidetraced from working on a quilt top . . . decided to experiment with an idea for greeting cards (thinking of Christmas). I just used some scrap (non-Christmas) fabric and the recently-discussed technique for the crazy stars (or whatever it was called) for stacking, cutting and shuffling (didn't do a star pattern), and ended up with these. Will probably use them for BD or Easter cards.

Then added a fussy-cut butterfly

Maybe a tute? I like making my own cards but it's gone by the wayside since I started quilting, and knitting....

I fell in love with making greeting cards, recently. I am curious what you used to attach the crazy quilting pieces to the card stock?

sandyl 07-01-2010 05:05 PM

Those are really nice cards. I like the idea of using fabrics on the cards. You are so clever!

MistyMarie 07-01-2010 05:58 PM

Are they sewn to the card or glued down? They look great!

franie 07-01-2010 06:04 PM

This are real nice, oh did I mention my BD is next month?
If I didn't, yes my BD is next month. I too will look at your tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

aneternalpoet 11-15-2010 02:01 PM

i make cards, too.. but never have fabric card fronts.. how did you attach the fabric to the cardstock? glue? modge pod? I think this would be a great cheaper gift, and more special for those I have gifts to make for... I have cards, and stock already, and some strips to make for the fronts.. you just got me rolling on my gifts this year, thanks!

nwm50 11-15-2010 02:05 PM

How cool are these !!

Julianna 11-15-2010 02:17 PM

Please give directions - want to make cards as pretty as yours. :)
