At that AGM for Sask. Craft Council last year (2009), there was a workshop about Branding…..Here is what I got out of the workshop: To think outside the box, if our art business is textural, then why is our business cards not textural….
So off and on since, I have been working out ideas. There have been many tossed attempts!
I like these and they use up bits I have in my stash. Next batch, though, will have white thread used in the bobbin.
The base is an interfacing that is usually used for the top of curtains. I use one layer to add the sky fabric & the textures of the landscape and another layer sewn to the back when I do the satin stitch all around. I, then, iron on the printing that I used T Shirt transfer for light coloured fabrics to transfer my details for back of the card.
No two will be the same. Spring will be something like this. Fall will be autumn colours and so on.
I will send out 4 of them to 4 lucky winners. If you would like to receive on, leave your comment here on my blog only and I will make a drawing on Wed. morning.

Great cards, Dale!! If you incorporate a small rare earth magnet in them they could be stored on the fridge!!!! You can get the small rare earth magnets at Lee Valley!!
Count me in for a chance to win!!

I just returned from a paste paper workshop and made a business card holder from one of the papers I painted. I think I’ll add fabric cards now…great idea!
Beautiful! I would love to win one of these. Your art is so inspiring!
I love these–a variation on Artist Trading Cards. Very unique business cards.
True works of art!! Dale your talent never ceases to amaze and inspire me.
Way cool Dale Ann! I’d get sidetracked by the business cards and miss deadlines! LOL.
Oh Dale, these are amazing. You know how to work it girlfriend. I’d love one of these.
How beautiful! I’ve done something similar in the past but found them very time consuming. You – as always – inspire me to look for a more practical way to express my creativity.
I love making these biz cards. I actually use card stock and fabric and fusing. I need to make more since I’m out.
Dale Anne, I love your new cards. Something else for me to make!
Great idea! I’ll have to give these a try.
Wow!! What a wonderful idea!! Love them!!!
Dale Anne, they are gorgeous!! Great idea.
Very cool Dale Anne!!

These are brilliant! I may have to borrow this idea! I’ve made the little post cards before, but never anything this small.
been thinking about doing something in fabric, too. you are an inspiration. would love to touch one, and that’s why I work in fabric, I guess. see you on FB
Those look great! I’m sure when a potential customer receives one they will remember you.
Dale, these are fabulous! What a great idea, and so beautiful! Absolutely love them.
