I have always loved fabric and fabric designs. So one of the things I like to do is use fabric in my cardmaking. I was introduced to this technique many years ago during a local craft shop hop. Fabric images are bright and colorful and can add a whole new dimension to crafting. They also allow for more variety at less expense than numerous stamp sets can.
Let me explain this simple process. You will need fabric with images that will be easy to cut out and that will fit on the front of your card. I look for designs that are bright and with images that do not overlap. You will also need uncut sticky back paper. This is the type of paper that is used to make address labels. The fabric is placed on the sticky side of the paper. If there is a lot extra space between images, I will rough cut around the image, just so I can place them closer together on the sticky paper and thus save the amount of sticky paper I need. Then each images is hand cut each of the images I want to use. Once the images are cut out, they are ready to use in whatever style card I choose to make.
Here is one of the cards I made this week with fabric.
