cards2
Cards - something special for your special someones

This year has been difficult for many of us - the concentration required to make big projects and get on with stuff seems to have gone missing to a degree. So, small stuff!
I love to make cards, as I know they will be unique to the receiver and show just how much I care.
Cards above are made from a reduced version of the present block here (link to pdf pattern), and a simple no-sew Tree version, instructions below...
card1 I made some simple quilty ideas, and cut my own cards - an A4 card cut in half and folded is the ideal size...
For this one I glued down a square of silver fabric then added a Fandango with a button in blue batik
Here's a Youtube link for Fandangos with Jennie Rayment

Cards on the shelf of the dresser - think how well they might look on yours
Left-hand card is made with two Suffolk Puffs from 4 and 5-inch circles, and a pretty button
Many thanks to Jo and Dill of The Yard at Raveningham for lending their pretty shop - opening again (and the Ravenous Cafe) on 3rd December!
treecard1 Simple no-sew tree card - I started with a folded card and drew lines 1/2 inch apart on the left-hand inside
I then drew a central ine and marked lines either side as shown in a trianglish manner. I cut slots in the card as shown, plus a wider pair at the bottom to make the pot.
Erase the pencil lines after you have made the cuts
treecard2 I cut 1/2 inch strips of various fabrics and threaded them through the slots to fill up the tree. I trimmed them off at the back about 1/2 inch long and then turned then towards the middle and taped the ends down
treecard3 Like so...
