Make Your Own Padded Greeting Cards Using A Tablecloth!

[@barneybuster8915]

I still have all the Satin Padded cards my late husband and I sent to each other in the 1960's. I wish we could still buy them in the stores. They are fantastic.

[@LynBlackledge]

Wow last night I found two of these from when I was 21 - Im 71 on Thursday! How amazing to come across this today.

[@louisejohnston4876]

Lovely throwback to the old days and crafting. Brilliant!

[@aseal5511]

WOW you took me back to my grandmother, I remember these cards. thanks for the memory and how to make them now.

[@angelalittlewood4523]

Oh wow, makes me feel old!! I can remember them so well. Neat idea Sam. Bring back the padded cards, I love it.

[@NancyLynn]

This is just brilliant, Sam! I'm Canadian and am sixty, yet I have never seen one of these padded cards. I've seen wedding albums similar to this but that's all. I absolutely LOVE it and how precious is that, that you have those keepsakes from your Granny! Thanks, so much for sharing...you are incredibly creative, my dear!

[@pammckenzie9738]

love these cards, I have a couple from my husband (50's) they really are lovely.

[@charlottelabelle2545]

Thank you for sharing that, they brought back so many memories I used to get them as a child, I don’t think I have any anymore

[@susantobin719]

I remember those padded cards. Forgot about them until I saw yours. Beautiful!!

[@verblu8507]

I like the look of your padded cards! Those are fabulous! Something very new to me. thanks for sharing this new style card! God bless!!!

[@shennahull2183]

Absolutely wonderful ! I love your Nan's cards , I appreciate your Christmas Workshop, Have a Beautiful Blessed Day !!

[@ruthoie7626]

Have to try one of these. I am also in the USA and have never seen them despite being around a substantial number of years more then your fifty year old cards!

[@teresasingleton898]

I remember the padded cards!! Beautiful card. Got to give it a try.. thank you for sharing.❤️

[@dianeragland3031]

Oh well goodness! Your Nan had such a lovely relationship with your grandfather-she must have many treasured memories! I have never seen a card like this in the States, but I’ll certainly give it a try. Thank you!

[@opal777]

TY for a trip down memory lane. I remember these in the states as Valentine Day cards when I was still a child. I am thinking that thin batting would work if there are any quilters watching who have scraps in their stash. I know that I do. I might give this a go. :-)

[@sarahogilvy]

Lovely card and brings back lots of lovely memories. Thank you Sam x

[@sandrasimpey1712]

Looks like a flocked lining. I'll have to look out for something like it. I remember getting padded cards, they were lovely. Great tutorial x

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Barbara :)

[@halinalaxton3053]

I remember seeing cards like this as a child they are so adorable. I’m so glad you’re doing this

[@jeanwest-ackroyd3908]

Great stuff ! Got a small oddment of Christmas fabric the other week. Idea was to do a padded square in the middle and emboss the 'frame' .Not enough for whole cards but this will help me out lots ! Love your card, thanks for sharing.

[@giftdiva8506]

This is awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before! Going to have to try!

[@reneebanbury7066]

I love these cards! They are beautiful!

[@marijones9918]

Hi Sam, always loved getting these cards and so easy to make too! thanks for the idea Sam x

[@Allypooh88]

The term you are looking for is is a “flocked” tablecloth. This is definitely going on my to do list. Thank you!

[@MixedUpCraft]

Yes Flocked or Flannel are the ones you want. 😀

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Awesome card idea, they are stunning 😍 I love this ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs

[@roselaurapereiramalone9016]

Oh I remember them! Totally forgot about them!

[@joannmcgowan9394]

I love that and I remember that too ! So cool ! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@allisonsnell9352]

See, this is how good you are at crafting. Using a table cloth and cooker hood wading to make a card. Genius!! Love it. Great card 🎄 x

[@gilllogan1154]

Wow, I remember those type of cards. You know someone loved you if you got one of those! I have never seen a musical one like you Nan had.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you, Gill, she has quite a few musical ones but many of them have stopped working, so this one is extra special to me. :)

[@482milena]

How beautiful these are

[@reafriesen5618]

Very interesting. And a very pretty card. Tfs your video.

[@LP-hl3px]

I have never seen or heard of these types of cards! They are so lovely...will have to try making some. Thankyou for teaching us something new!

[@ginamosleybivens3760]

Love It!!! Brilliant Game Changer!!!***Thanks for the share

[@gaillockeyakathemessycraft658]

Omg. I used to love getting a padded card when I was younger, such a blast from the past. Love your take on them. Tfs xxx

[@terrie1226]

Such a fantastic idea and you presented it very nicely...beautiful cards and I'm for sure going to my Dollar Store and make some padded cards.....tfs

[@carolterrey3083]

Love this idea. Will try with Christmas material I have. Thanks for idea

[@cpr6760]

I love it! I need to stop watching your vlogs because I want to rush out and buy every thing I need to copy your project 😉!

[@debbytownsend2907]

I remember those cards !!! Great tutorial

[@leannemitchem8865]

I have never Sean a fabric card like that here in my life. That is really pretty! Very unique. Thank you for sharing

[@debg2491]

How lovely.

[@denisebecker5950]

Really cool and adorable. Denise

[@juliacassidy8664]

Wow Sam, what a beautiful and easy card to make. I am going to share this idea with my card making buddy's. They will love it. Thank you for a great idea. Julia Cassidy from Nottingham

[@bethhansen821]

What a totally unique card idea!!! Just love it! I've never seen anything like this before and I can't wait to find the materials to create my own. Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea!

[@susankniola5958]

Amazing! The hood filter material for padding is genius! Here in the States JoAnn Fabric has costume satin that is fairly cheap ($1-2 a yard) that would be lovely for this card. I've never seen padded cards either and I'm sure I'm older than you are lol! Keep up the good work, I LOVE watching your tutorials. You always bring us such unique (and wonderful) projects :)

[@icemark2la]

That's a kewl idea! Love it!

[@jules9470]

WOW 😮 This is just amazing . What a beautiful way to make that card extra special . Just love this Tutorial. Thank you for sharing this very easy to make card 😊

[@lyndasoar4345]

Lovely revamp of a traditional card decoration... Good idea for any special occasion..thank you for sharing :))

[@christinelazar62]

I love these cards I remember getting when I was a lil girl birthday or Communion

[@angel_on_the_edge8084]

Fabulous way to recreate these classics, I used to work in a card shop and these were only available at Christmas! Def will give this a go for that special occasion. Can't wait to see what others come up with on Mixed Up Crafters Sam, TFS 😘

[@annhavies6636]

Hi Sam, thank you for showing me an alternative way of making a silk padded card that I was trying to make and asked you for your assistance with a while back a good alternative thank you

[@peggybines907]

So pretty love them x

[@susansieracki4369]

Those cards are awesome!!

[@mariabaker9201]

I remember getting some cards like that when I was little,shame I didn't keep them as they are lovely. Can't wait to try. Thanks again Sam for bringing a wonderful style card back.

[@marionlepley2692]

Fantastic cards 👏👏

[@smply4you]

So neat. I love it!

[@Fit_Kitty]

This is awesome! I enjoyed seeing the vintage cards too! LOVE your channel!

[@angharadlocke]

Love this idea and i remember those padding cards such a good take on them amazing xx

[@craftypam9992]

I love this idea - shame that I have finished making my Xmas cards! I make small silk paintings for special occasions, and mount them to cards. I've always used expensive quilting wadding, but will try the filters next time. Thanks for the idea - with no cooker hood, I'd never have found them!

[@dianec3279]

Love how you made this! I still have a couple of padded cards from when I was little. This would be adorable just on a frame. Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@annm6049]

Beautiful cards Sam x

[@scrappingscootergirl]

This is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing it with us! Your projects never disappoint! I even have a Sam Clayton folder in my bookmarks because you are my first go to when making a project! Hope you have a great day!

[@MixedUpCraft]

Ahhh thank you Tracey 😘😘😘

[@martinebangs6520]

Hi Sam....this card is so cute...I love it...tfs

Love the card. Great

[@susansheartstrings]

Beautiful cards! Such a creative idea! They make a lovely display! Great tutorial! TFS

[@nanangrandaelliott2810]

absolutely gorgeous sam i really love this 😊x

[@angelaredman3373]

Beautifully made. I have lots of these cards also. Thank you for sharing a great idea xxx

[@ginamayville6663]

Love the cards, Beautiful. You are using a flannel back tablecloth. We quilters use them for our designs on the wall because fabric sticks to it without using pins. I am new to your channel and so far I am loving all of your designs, Great work.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Gina & welcome 😀

[@lindarawlinson4153]

Love watching your tutorials and this one took me back years to this style of special card.

[@carinrenzenbrink1974]

What a beautiful card . I love all you're tutorials .

[@angelakenny6500]

What a clever idea ,fantastic for the special person. Love your tutorials,so easy to follow. .looking forward to the rest of the Christmas session.Thanks for sharing.

[@nics6666]

Hello Sam That's so clever! I remember my Dad giving these cards to my Mum😊

[@sandraking7389]

Love this and remember when my dad gave them to my mum xx FYI The Range have a selection of "Flannel backed tablecloths" which might be ok to use.

[@MixedUpCraft]

FANNEL! that's the word I was looking for lol!

[@ann-mariecox1711]

A great tutorial I had some of these cards. Thank you for a tutorial.

[@patriciatatlock5716]

In most of the stores here in North America, it would be called a "flannel backed" tablecloth - READILY AVAILABLE at every $$ store !

[@pattyd3205]

What a great Tutorial, I remember these cards. You have some fantastic ideas, love it💖

[@anngallagher2282]

Fabulous

[@DebadooCreates]

That is so neat I've never seen a padded card like that and I'm probably way older than you are LOL.

[@lynnallison3642]

These are great cards will definitely be having a go at making these, tfs x

[@kcampo]

lovely. My friend and I made some a couple of years ago using the protective sheets that come with some on-line purchases. Not the bubble wrap though!!! Will have to have another go with material now.

[@lindadavies6464]

What a brilliant idea, look forward to your Christmas tutorials.

[@jennifercairns2791]

Another great tutorial off to search for a tablecloth

[@valrodgers8889]

I think they call it flannel backed. We have them in Australia.

[@patpowell6684]

What a great idea...I’d forgotten about padded cards. Bye for now 💁

[@maryshort7183]

For the padding could you use quilt batting? Cute card.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Mary, they are very similar materials so I would imagine you can, you just want something that's soft and easy to cover. 😀

[@sandracnix]

Loved the card a very unique idea, what material did you make the poinsettia out of

[@MixedUpCraft]

Red and green card stock 😀

[@carolllundy49]

Love this. Got to try it. I was trying to find something for a swap partner. TFS. 😊❤️
