Fabric Postcard

Posted on December 11, 2012 | 16 Comments

I have a special friend whose birthday is in December.

So I made a fabric birthday card to send to her.

Notice I stayed away from a Christmas theme even though she is a December baby. Her birthday is her own day, not to be celebrated with Christmas.

I covered up her name and address with my pincushion. Mustn’t spoil the surprise.

There are lots of fabric postcard tutorials online. Although I’ve made lots of these easy postcards, I googled just to see what comes up. Here’s a couple to get you started.

  I am also a December baby. In fact, most of my family is made up of holiday babies, so we are very aware of making the birthday celebration special.

  Quick, fun, and a great way to use up scraps! They can be embellished, but then they would need to be mailed in an envelope instead of mailed like any postcard.

I’m a Dec birthday and how lovely that you knew NOT to make it Christmas themed! I always say don’t get me confused with Jesus, giggle. It’s a beautiful card.
