Fabric

For today's Wednesday trends, I am going to feature using fabric on your projects! I love looking at all of the neat rows of fabric lined up at the craft stores and only wish I knew how to quilt!! Last time I was there, I saw a small bin near the cutting table that had small rolls of fabric leftovers from the bolts. I scrounged through the bin and scored quite a few nice prints for only a few dollars. I just knew I could do something with them and here is what I came up with!

For my first card I used the fabric as a background paper. I drew a heart (not very well I must admit) on my navy card stock and then cut it out with my hobby blade. I took my fabric and placed it behind the heart and used some red line tape to hold it in place. Then I stiched around it kind of messy like! I stamped my sentiment from the Chemistry set and added some black rhinestones and a big bow to complete the look.

For my next example I used the fabric as an accent or embellishment. I used my circle Spellbinder dies in my Big Shot to cut out the fabric circles. It worked like a charm! I again used a bit of red line tape to tack down the circles and then stitched around them with my sewing machine. I stamped my laundry basket from the Loads of Fun set in memento black ink and colored it in with my Copic markers. I used my circle nestabilities again to cut it out to match my fabric circles. Some extra stitching, dry embossing and fun trims are the finishing touches!
