Just back from a most amazing weekend in New Orleans for my good friend Katherine's wedding. This is the card that I made for her, that uses fabrics that are in the quilt that I'm making for her. I attached the rectangles to the card using Mod Podge, let them dry, then stitched around each layer. I would up cutting out the cake, and Mod Podging it to a new card so that it's slightly lifted off. I am really pleased with how it came out.We ate really well—fried oyster po'boys, cafe au lait, gumbo (seafood and chicken andouille), sugar coated beignets, eggs sardou—and I totally enjoyed bridesmaiding on Saturday and helping Katherine get ready for the ceremony (which included activities like embroidering the bag that held the glass for the Jewish ceremony and holding a large mirror as she had her hair done), and dancing for hours at the reception. It was completely Katherine and Jonathan, and also completely New Orleans. I will share pictures once I have them ready!

Amy, what a great idea! I am making a quilt for a friend's wedding in June. I might copy your idea and make a wedding card out of the scraps. I am making her wedding cake too, so the idea would mesh even more! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love fabric cards! My mom makes some adorable Christmas cards with super ugly Christmas fabric she gets for 75% off during after Christmas sales. It's such a great look! And I love the cake idea!

ReplyDeleteThis is so cute - and I think simple enough that even I could manage doing it too! It's been too long since I've busted into a jar of mod podge. Sigh.
