Wait – it’s Friday. And it’s May. How did that happen?
Here’s my latest tutorial over at CraftStylish. This month is all about Wedding and Celebration crafts, so I made a cool fabric postcard party invitation.
I’ve often been intrigued by the fabric postcards I’ve seen in mixed media magazines, but they’re always so heavily-layered with fabrics and paints and stuff. I like things more visually simple, so I was happy with this quilted design.
I discovered some super-cool stuff at CHA that really makes this project: Friendly Felt, a recycled-fiber felt that’s stiff like cardboard. It gave this postcard the body to stand up to being mailed, and it was a dreamy base for machine-quilting.
Anyway, go check out the how-to and let me know what you think. And Happy Friday. And, Happy May!
Awesome craft!

I have had great success using Peltex 72 for the inner core- it is stiff enough to make a mailable card. It also has iron-on adhesive on both sides- for sticking the fabric or paper, and you can sew through it. Just in case you need to buy some more supplies ;-)

Timtex is another rigid product that works as a filler. It does not include fusible web — you’ll need to add it to the reverse sides of card fronts and backs.
