...leave a comment on my post before Tuesday, September 25th 12 pm. And on the others' posts, too! But now, let's look at my card:
...hinterlasst einen Kommentar auf diesem Post vor Dienstag, 25. September, Mitternacht. Und auf denen der Anderen! Aber jetzt lasst uns mal meine Karte ansehen:
Mailable is my motto for christmas. One year, I made pretty cards with lots of embellishments. A button here, a button there and some lace and big bows and then? I wasn't able to send them all. It was just too expensive to send big and bulky envelopes to everybody. So now I try to create cards that are flat. And not too heavy. This one is at the limit. But I wanted it to be very pretty for you :) Sewing these little banners is so much fun. I just die-cut small pieces from patterned paper (Echo Park's Very Merry Christmas collection) and sewed them together. Easy. The sentiment is printed directly onto the card base. I changed the color of the sentiment in Photoshop first.
So, this was my contribution for today. I hope it inspired you! Time to hop on to the next designer. You will find the list below. And be sure to stop by the Paper Crafts Connection blog! Thanks for visiting and good luck!
Verschickbar ist mein Motto an Weihnachten. In einem Jahr hatte ich mal hübsche Karten mit vielen Verzierungen gemacht. Ein Knopf hier, ein Knopf da und ein wenig Spitze, eine dicke Schleife und dann? Ich konnte sie nicht alle verschicken. Es war einfach zu teuer, dicke, ausladende Umschläge an alle zu schicken. Also versuche ich jetzt Karten zu machen, die flach sind. Und nicht zuu schwer. Die hier ist an der Grenze. Aber ich wollte sie extra hübsch für Euch machen :)
Diese kleinen Banner zu nähen macht mir viel Spass. Ich habe einfach kleine Teilchen aus Designpapier ausgeschnitten (Echo Parks Very Merry Christmas Linie) und sie dann zusammengenäht. Einfach. Der Spruch ist direkt auf die Karte gedruckt. Ich hab vorher die Farbe in Photoshop verändert.
So, das war mein Beitrag für heute. Ich hoffe ich hab Euch inspiriert! Zeit zum nächsten Designer zu hüpfen. Ihr findet die Liste unten. Und hüpft auch zum Paper Crafts Connections blog! Danke fürs Besuchen und viel Glück!

I really love the idea of creating the banner and attaching to the card. Lovely! (I've also learned my lesson about thick, ultra embellished holiday cards!)

I haven't tried sewing on paper yet. This would be a fun project to try sewing. You could make a long streamer and just keep cutting off what you need for each card. You don't have to do a lot of individual decorating. Great idea. Thanks.
Cute and interesting card. I did wonder about the mailing part of it. I too have learned my lesson on bulky embellishments.
