Card Making with fabric scraps...

 I wanted to make a batch of cards for the local shop where i sell a few bits and pieces.

I start by cutting a block of fusible webbing and then iron on scraps of any fabrics that i feel like using.

 I would love to tell you that i plan all these out and have a good method of execution... but alas, i sort of wing it all! i have a vague idea / style in my head that i feel like making but mostly i like to see what happens.

I cut out lots of shapes from the fabric scraps - making sure the shapes will fit on a standard card.

 I put the cards and the fabric scraps all together at the same time - rtaher than making 'one card at a time' as it were. Then run them through the sewing machine to give them a scrappy look.

 I have pages of pre-printed sentiments, just from my PC...

then try and fit a sentiment to a scene. It seems to work itself out OK.

 And, if i feel it needs it, i will pop a wee button on the finished card.

 And then, when the cards are dry, i finish the back with the branding.

Pop them in a plastic card wallet with an envelope inside.

20 or so cards, ready for sale, made in an hour or two.

Easy rainy day project - why not make a batch for yourself? and then you have a stash of perfect cards for any occasion and people will think you are properly clever :)
