Sew cute greeting card


This card was actually a last minute creation.  I needed a card for my Father-in-law for his birthday, so I headed to my craft room to see what I could come up with in 10 minutes.




 I really like how it turned out and I like the idea that it doubles as a cute picture to hang up somewhere.  I'm not a big fan of traditional cards that you spend $4.99 on just to get tossed in the trash.





All you need to make your own adorable greeting card is: scrap pieces of stock card, a cute picture, letter stamps, stamp pad, glue stick, and a sewing machine.





Start with one main card and cut out pieces to be sewn to the card.  Sew the pieces on and stamp a message.

When I was done with my design I glued another card to the back to hide the stitches and to add stability.  I was thinking it would be fun to add magnets to the back so the gift card becomes a cute magnet too!
