Stitched Happy Wedding Card

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!

  1. 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!

  2. I 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!

  4. This 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.
