I used the iron on fusible webbing and then stiched around the edges and then just added whatever embellishments I had. Suzanne posted a great website on page 1 on how to make them
How did you attach the fabric to the card ? I just want to get this right :oops: LOL
You can glue it or sew it....do a search on google and you will see a TON of them. Some are really simple and some are totally elaborate!!

I'm thinking about joining this swap (fixing to go try to see if I can do it! LOL!), but have a question.
Are we supposed to send them with the backs blank (no message or address) so that the recipient can use the card as she (or he) wishes* ... or are we supposed to fill in the recipient's address and write a message to her?
(*Obviously that would require sending the postcard in an outer envelope, which I'd planned to do anyway. ;) )

Okay, I made several of them from scraps as practice ... but they're not winter-themed. I'll have to get my Christmas/winter fabric back out to make my actual swap ones. :lol:
Here are photos of the non-swap practice ones, though, and the back. :)

Just some non-swap practice postcards from scraps :-)

Love the way you did the back, you can also have the postcard "hand canceled by the post office and them "mail" it in an envelope. That way if someone is collecting postcards with postmarks from around the world, they'll have both

Just a quick not to let everyone know that BonniFeltz is taking over this swap and the secret pal swap.
My mother in law has been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the liver, lungs and bones. She is coming home today on hospice care and I will be her primary care giver. This has to be my number one priority right now along with my husband who is not dealing with this very well (as expected).
I won't be totally gone from the board but my priorites have to be with them at this time.
Thanks for all the enthusiasm ya'll have had for this swap. Have fun with it and I can't wait to see the pictures.
