Thank You Card

 Good Morning!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the voting from our Christmas Card Swap. We will announce the winner of that at a later time. 

Here is a "Thank You" window fabric card designed and made by Rachel.
The card opens up like this to reveal the "Thank You" fabric. 
And then opens like this where you can write your message. 
(notice the rectangular window on the left flap)
 The "Thank You" words came from this fabric.
 And the butterfly came from this fabric which came in recently.


Our fall class schedule will be sent out this week so watch your inbox or check back here on the blog. 
Have a great week.

Fall & Christmas

 Good Afternoon!

Today our Cardmaking with Fabric Club met here and made the two cards below. 

Here is the fall card designed and made by Rachel. 

The leaves were cut out of this fabric. 

Here is a Christmas card designed and made by Ruth Davies. 

 As you can see, this card is an easel card and the christmas tree is raised using a wobble, making the christmas tree wobble back and forth.
 The card also folds flat as shown below to fit into an envelope.
 The ornaments on the tree are cut out of this fabric:
 And the actual tree is cut out of this fabric:

Have a great week!
