Using Fabric on Cards

by Thrifty Stamper
To make this card you will need:
Stamp set- Be Proud
Sheet of heavy cardstock 140lb Premium White Card stock from www.marksfinestpapers.com was used here. Use dark cardstock for dark fabrics.
3 ¼” x 4 ½” fabric covered background
3 ½” x 4 ¾” blue cardstock
3 ¾” x 5” red cardstock
½”” x 2 ¾” white cardstock
¾” x 3” blue cardstock
4 ¼” x 11 white cardstock for base
Spray adhesive 3M General Purpose 45 spray adhesive was used here. You can try other adhesives too. Wet glues like Gorilla Glue, Elmer’s, and book making glues work best.
Ink
Markers
Fabric 1/4yd of Wally World fabric was used here. You can use any fabric scrap. I have used the following for fabric on cards: old dress from a garage sale, old worn out colored sheet, scarf from the Good Will, stained fabric napkin!
Various die cuts
Scissors

Spray adhesive/or if not using spray you can apply your wet glue to full sheet of card stock. If using dark fabric use dark cardstock.

Press fabric onto the adhesive covered cardstock. You can press out wrinkles easily if you use heavy cardstock. 1/4 yard of fabric will cover at least 2 sheets of cardstock.

Cut fabric covered cardstock into sizes that will work as panels on your cards.
I got 6 decent sized panels from my cardstock.

I used a piece of fabric as a ribbon on my card. I snipped a small area on the edge of the fabric about ½” wide. I tore along the cut to get the fabric strip.

Finished project.
