Hello my postcard loving friends. I created 3 fabric postcards using the Crossover II Die Cutting machine from
Crafter's Edge and the
Tea Time Set die cut and the
0.5" Increment Circle set die cut.
I used some scrappy pieced neutral colored backgrounds for all 3 postcards and then fused the appliqué pieces on top. Satin stitched the edges all around the postcards in white thread. All 3 postcards measure 5" x 7". I usually make 4" x 6" postcards, but I like this slightly larger size. They would be suitable to frame in a standard 5 x 7 frame or a mat with an opening size that's 5 x 7 with a larger frame.

I stamped all the backs of the postcards like this. |
These were a fun little project made faster by using the die cuts. I like to have a few postcards on hand to send out for birthdays and other occasions.
Pin It Now!
Those are just wonderful. Someone’s going to be very lucky to get them in the mail. They’re just so whimsical and fun great job as always
ReplyDeleteThose are really fun, Daryl!
ReplyDeleteThose would make great little gifts, get a mug and a tea bag to go with your cup postcard.
ReplyDeleteThese are sew neat! I had to look at them on your blog too, just to see them more closely. I like the way you quilted first and then appliqued. Do you really send them as postcards or do you put them in special envelopes when you mail them?
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric postcards Daryl. Super sweet.
