simple handmade cards

 

 

I love simple.

I love making handmade cards.

I grabbed some felt scraps, cut out a simple heart, stitched around the edge, and made these for Valentine’s Day…

 

i love you

 

I made these b-day cards by simply cutting small triangles using my fabric scraps and making a little banner…

 

Happy Birthday Card

So simple.

So much fun.

  1. These are great!
    Did you first attach the fabric pieces and then hand stitch on top of the card?

  2. Oops, I left that part out. I just used a little glue stick to adhere them down and then I stitched them together. I made them two big batches of cards in one hour! super easy.

  6. Making cards is on my to-do list! I figure if I just sit and make a bunch at one time then I should have some on hand when I need them!

  8. How simple! I think sometimes our creativity gets held back by sticking with one medium. I love how you combined two (fabric and paper). Something to always keep in mind.

  16. thanks Linds! The letters are actually "rub-ons" I found hiding in my stash from 10 years ago! I think using your own handwriting would be fun, too!
