I should really call this post "down the rabbit hole". :) I had a lot of little scraps of fusible web (I use Lite Steam a Seam 2) leftover after making my waiting blocks. Since I have a hard time throwing anything away, I thought I'd use them up by making ticker tape cards.
The last slivers of the original Flea Market Fancy and pezzy fabric are being put to use. Yay! Oh, and there is some Henna garden fabric in there, too. (It did occur to me when making these that I may have passed the point of no return, but I thought it was better not to dwell on that.) They sure are happy, aren't they?
Each card measures 4.25" x 5.5". These are scrap project #55/101.
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!
Those cards are just adorable. I love how cute they are and they use up scraps. Another to do on my list ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are so jolly:-) I love the pincushion in the background too!
ReplyDeleteYou may have reached the point of no return, but I'm glad you showed us these cards before you got there- they're adorable!!! Such a great idea….
ReplyDeleteHow perfect! Love them - what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteCute cards! I never thought of using fusible on paper. By the way, I'm not sure if you did it on purpose. But there is something weird about the linky this week?
ReplyDeleteThese are just adorable! What a fun project!
ReplyDeleteThese are just adorable! What a fun project!
ReplyDeleteGreat for using up tiny scraps, which I hate to part with. Ideal for sending to quilty friends! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.
ReplyDeleteKat,
ReplyDeleteYes, there is something weird about the link up. I THINK it may be something to do with my new blog template because I didn't change any of my settings in InLinkz. I sure wish I knew more about this techy stuff!

oh my goodness! I HAVE to make some cards like these. As a teacher, I always like to have cards on hand to write little notes to students, parents, etc. This is just awesome, and the fabrics make it so personal!

Super cute- I LOVE home made cards! We do our own cards every Christmas using everything from failed baby passport snaps to my girl's drawings - now we have a new idea thanks :0)
ReplyDeleteOoh I definitely doing this!! Thanks for the idea! CUTE!!!
ReplyDeleteI love those! I think they're so cute! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo cool and unique! Now I know why that pile of teeny tiny scraps is on my floor! ;-) Now I have a reason to save more!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - I can use them as note cards, postcards, placecards! I'm thinking of fusing them to squares and making a mini quilt - so many possibilities. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove them!!!!,
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I'll have to check out that interfacing. Sounds interesting...
ReplyDeleteLovely! :)
ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeleteTalk about good mail! Those little cards are frameworthy and remind me of some I made with appear years ago. I love them.
ReplyDeleteThose are very pretty! You should frame them!
ReplyDeleteThose cards are a fantastic idea: totally doing this for the next birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether little hand drawn quirky picture frames would look good on a more minimal layout? I feel my creativity firing.
I love what you do but I have just given up on keeping those little bits. Now I look at this and think why? Don't know about the linky thing. I think they have changed their set up when I went to look. I hate techy things changing!! It does make it difficult to see what others have finished but we will persist as I love seeing what everyone has done.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. They look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are happy and give me an idea for my cousins quilt retreat this fall - NAME TAGS! ha like we won't know each others names? :)
ReplyDeleteOh, that is just the most adorable, clever idea EVER! I love it so so much. I have little baggies of tiny little strips and selvages that I've been using to decorate brown paper for wrapping gifts, as little bows and ties and "ribbons", etc. This is FANTASTIC. I'm going to make some cards tomorrow and use them for Thank You's, Thinking of You, etc. I miss the real handwritten mail and try to send "real" mail to my granddaughters. I'm rambling on and on, you have me so excited. LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I need to make some thank you notes this weekend. Thanks for helping me figure out my stationary dilemma.
ReplyDeleteVery cute way to use up scraps, this gives me lots of ideas....thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this Amanda!!! I've made some in the past but like this method of no stitching through the card.
ReplyDeleteWow what a cute way to use your itty bitty scraps...you are definitely the scrap queen!! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try one more time to join the linky party...not sure what I am doing wrong.
they are super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute! Love using up those tiny pieces.
ReplyDeleteI love love love these cards. Hate spending a fortune for wonderful cards to go with a gift. These are perfipect. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou are crazy...but wait. I have bags of scrap fabric with fusible web on the back. Just can't bring myself to throw them away. Ticker tape cards wow. Thank you for your crazy idea. Love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the scrappy pile! It's a keeper - thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever: Unique cards! Yet again you have inspired me to do more. I may never come up for air!
ReplyDeleteBottom line, who wouldn't love to get a card like that?
ReplyDeleteLOVE!
ReplyDeleteGenius!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time throwing things away also. I have a box full of scraps. I have a couple ideas in the works also.
ReplyDeleteI love these cards! What a great idea! I make a lot of cards, and have made some using fusible web. Now I have to try this method. BTW, I've been feeling really stressed, too, about several deadlines coming up. I finally decided to give up on one of them. Finish the quilt, but do it later,so I'll have time for some of the other projects, and not feel too pressured. Made a world of difference for me.
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation. See you when you get home.
super cute cards and i LOVE your pincushion!!
