Want to know more? Here’s a little bit about each card style and how we do it…

STITCHED CARDS

Patterns are poked into the card stock  to be sewn on and depending on the pattern it can take 5-20 minutes to poke the pattern and then ½ to 3 hours to stitch.  The stitched card stock is then glued to either a colored backer to frame it or to the card directly. Doing the card this way rather than stitch directly on the card allows the giver of the card more room to write a personal note without fighting over bumps that affect the writing or poking ink pen holes in card.  The colors of the stitching can be changed to fit the customers personal preference. The sentiment on the outside of the cards can be discussed at time of ordering.

QUILLED CARDS

To make these cards the pattern is either a photo or a picture in my mind.  I do not draw on the card stock or card itself the design.  I can not tell you the length of quill paper (1/8 inch wide strips)  that I use because I don’t measure what I use, I just make what I think will make the best size and try to keep about ½ inch away from all edges so they don’t get smashed by the postal machines when mailed. They are fairly easy to do but take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on complexity.

IRIS FOLDED CARDS

Iris folding is based on the iris of a camera. If you look at a camera lens you see the iris kind of circles around a center circle, square etc.  To do an Iris folded card you need to mark the iris markings on your design pattern starting from the outside working into a square, circle or triangle center. Using marking or carbon paper you draw your outline on cardstock, cut out the areas you want the folding to show through. Make sure you have drawn design so that when done the design turned right side up has the folding under it so the attaching of the strips doesn’t show.  Once design is ready to add the strips from the outside in toward the middle. Folding and taping each strip in place as you go. Takes about 2 hours total for simple designs.

SPECIALTY CARDS

Very hard to explain these because they differ from being cut and pasted cards to stitched and stickered, stitched and quilled, Die Cut and designed. Using thin cut dies, quilling paper, pricking and stitching, tracing and coloring, cutting and pasting we try to make cards asked for from our customers.
