I really love to give handmade gifts, especially at Christmas. I hate feeling rushed and stressed in December. So, my gift making begins in August :). I saw this great card on Pioneer Valley Girl, and she put up a little tutorial. I couldn't resist!
They go together really quickly, and they are one of my favorite things - a great way to turn scraps into something beautiful and useful. I varied only slightly for the instructions, making my cards on fabric foundations rather than paper, and the dimensions of the rectangles are slightly wider.

Oh I really like those cards!! What a great idea!! And that is a beautiful pile of fabric :)
Those are beautiful! I may steal this idea for some gifts this year...
I totally feel you on starting the holiday gifts early. I have made myself a list of due dates and I vow to NOT work on anything holiday-related after November 20. The rest of the season will be crafting for me! Finishing a quilt at 3:30 a.m. the day we drove 6 hours to Iowa wasn't my finest moment.
Pretties!
It still cracks me up, the fabrics that our stashes have in common.
Can I just thank you!!! This is a great idea. Know that three of my kids arein school I was wondering what to get their teachers......just love this idea. Simple and not to costly...and it is home made. LOVE IT!!!
Love these! I am with you about trying to start Christmas gifts early. But I have a sinking feeling that the procrastinator in me will still not sleep on December 23rd because I will be binding a quilt....
Never hurts to get ahead! Love the look of the cards - beautiful!
I'll be making a lot of things for Christmas this year and these cards are so cute! I'm drooling on my computer over that pile of AMH fabric!
