Quilted Thank you Card-Tutorial coming soon!

This card I made was an experiment that I did for sewing a card. If you have any scraps of cloth or felt- even other paper, you can sew it to your card to match the season, holiday, or special occasion. I made a thank you card to match the summer (In real life the card is a lot brighter than shown here). You will need to make a liner to cover up the inside of the card. And don't knot the ends of the thread just tape them down.

Formatting your card

To make a card you need to have a format. The tutorials that I make give you a format so that you can have a organized but still fun card. I have pages for specific cards such as Christmas, and Mothers' day. Even though I show you how to make that specific card you can use the same format for any other event too.
