I love handmade cards,
and I make them for almost every occasion,
but I found myself in a bit of a rut.
{I'm not the most crafty paper person, I can admit it}
so I decided to turn to my sewing machine for a little inspiration!
{she never lets me down!}
This is incredibly easy,
and doesn't even require a step by step tutorial,
but I had fun making this, and took lots of pictures,
so I thought I'd write one up anyway!
First things first,
gather your supplies!
You'll need scissors, a card, some scrap fabric and sewing machine
{needle and thread will totally work too!}
Next, cut your fabric into strips,
and arrange them on the card!
{seriously, this is where you can get creative...any color, pattern, design...you name it!}

And then,
{you guessed it}
you sew those bad boys down!
{I sewed a line right down the middle, but please, do whatever your heart desires!}
Now you have a super cute card with little fabric ears...and that's not really flattering...

So...
Snip them off :)
{well, unless you like them...then leave 'em}
And...TaDa!
You've created a custom card!
But...I still think it's missing a little special something...
So I added a ruffle!
{duh!}
and Voila!
The finished product!
{I forgot to take a picture once I snipped off the extra ruffle fabric, but I think you get the idea}
I promise you that whoever receives this card will
LOVE the fact that you gave them something personal,
and handmade.
So go ahead...create one, or 7...
{they're a little addicting}
you've been warned :)
happy crafting!

this is awesome!!! I love sewing on paper:)
How cute; this may be the first project I do with my sewing machine! Seems simple enough for this novice.
