I used fairly blank cards to begin with and then just cut scraps and placed them on the card, sewing them down with about 1/8 in seam allowance. This is very similar to tickertape, a technique I absolutely LOVE doing.
When picking fabrics, I tried to pick ones that were more graphic and/or allowed me to fussy cut to give more interest to the individual pieces. I was able to do 4 cards in less than an hour, pretty quick I would say for something that gives a much more personal touch than a pre-made card.
I definitely see much more of these in my future. Great use of scraps and fun to make and quick to complete on a day you need an easy finish or don't have enough time to make some progress on another project.
Super cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI made fabric postcards several years ago, but I love this scrappy version! In fact, I have more fun with scraps than with yardage. I'm inspired to make some postcards and get them in the mail!

ReplyDeleteAn interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

Cool I would say. My wife too is creative with her embellishments. She is always best at adding her own personal touch and using her favorite colors.
