I'm looking for sewing related greeting cards with no sentiment (blank inside). Has anyone ever seen anything like this? There are a few on Amazon and Etsy, but they're about $3 each and I need a few dozen. I'm open to sources in Canada, the UK and the US.

I suppose I could buy a rubber stamp and make some, but that would eat into my sewing time ;)

TIA!

I have picked up packages of them at Michaels in the past - I still have several individual cards left. I haven't been to Michaels lately so not sure if they still have them.

One is called "Darling Divas" and features several women in evening wear and says "Be Glamourous" at the top edge with a background of pattern pieces.

The second one says "You're Sew Sweet" and looks like a pattern envelope.

Both cards are blank inside and the envelopes are printed with pattern pieces - they are smaller cards (approx 4.5" x 5.25").

I have also picked up individual cards at quilt shops but they have more of a quilting theme and are usually a lot pricier.

I bet there are some in the Vintage Simplicity line. This page doesn't show everything (my SIL bought me a bunch of things at JA this summer that aren't listed here).

MoStar has some cartoonish quilting-themed ones. And a few more things if you're willing to poke around a bit.

And a couple nice hits from Amazon! If you click through on those, you might find similar items more easily.

Have fun! Let us know what you find!!

Sorry--I missed your price requirement!

What about having some made up for you? You know those heaps of Christmas cards charities send out? Like that. You can get 50 at Vistaprint for around $25.
