Butterfly postcards

I needed sympathy cards.
A normal person goes to the store, buys the cards and mails them. It takes about an hour.
My approach is to decide on some new technique or pull out some new product and take an entire day making 2 postcards. I don't regret it for a minute.

The fabric and gold butterflies, both, wer cut on the Cricut. I added free-motion stitching to the fabric butterflies and crystals to the vinyl butterflies.
​

The technique was to learn how to cut fabric on the Cricut. Of course, I didn't look up any tutorials or anything. I had a lot of failures but I'm closer to knowing what to do. I needed to figure this out before I start working on the Christmas cards. One of the main reasons I bought this tool was to help with Christmas cards.
​

The original design plan was to do a card with the gold ffused on top of the fabric. I absolutely hated the look of it so instead I got two different cards  and I'm much happier with the end results.

I still need more practice cutting fabric but I made good progress in testing out the blades, mats and settings.

I didn't accomplish anything else yesterday so I'll see if I can get that quilt loaded today between a chiropractor appointment and the chimney repair people being here.
