I am up to 43 cards this year! I started off years ago making only 7! go figure! But I do enjoy making them if I don't have that pressure of 'having to finish them' when in Florida! That's the key. Hope everyone who receives one enjoys them.
I made up my own picture and sent it off to get a thermofax screen made.
Then I screen printed using black acrylic ink onto white fabric. But that was boring so i started to paint each heart with some watercolor paint and 3D paint. After making 10 of them I decided I wasn't going to do this for the other 30+ cards!
So next up I just screen printed my design onto scrap dyed fabric I had on had.
One print didn't seem enough so on some fabric I printed the screen twice!
Next up was sandwiching between some pellon, adding some quilting then printing out the labels on Sulky totally Stable iron on fusible . I iron the Totally Stable onto printer paper and print out labels on the interfacing - just make sure to not use a lot of heat otherwise it is hard to peel off your interfacing.
Then it was time to cut away excess Pellon and interfacing and stitch the edges! Easy!
