FUN Fabric Cards showcasing Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements!
Hi friends! Happy Thursday! I’m delighted to share this gorgeous trio of cards made by Richele Christensen that highlight both the Pink and Red fabrics from the Tim Holtz Palette fabric collection! This post is a fun reminder that you can absolutely use fabric on cards too and it’s so pretty! Read on to learn more and enjoy!
Hello everyone Richele here and I want to share some quick fabrics cards using the Tim Holtz Palette collection in Pink and Red. I love adding an unexpected element to my cards like fabric.
The first card shows off a patchwork for the background over a piece of batting.
- Cut several fabric squares 1 1/4” x 1 1/4” from Tim Holtz Palette fabric in Pink and Red. You will use 12 of them but I cut a few extra so I had lots to work with. Cut a piece of batting or felt approximately 6” x 6” you will trim it down later. Adhere pieces with glue stick to hold in place.
- Stitch diagonally through the squares and batting.
- Die cut message “To the Moon and Back” from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Bold Text 2 Thinlits set or similar from Ranger’s Black Heavystock. Cut the Red Tiny Print to fit behind the words, sew piece of fabric to quilted piece for behind message.
- Add fasteners to the corner of the message (this will attach the card to the quilted piece). Adhere to base card and add the little felt heart.
Creating a simple shape cut from fabric strips sewn together is a fun way to use up your scrap.
- Sew random size strips together large enough for your heart. Press seams to one side.
- Trace a heart on the back side of the fabric and cut out with scissors or pinking shears. You could also die to cut heart.
- Position heart on to front of card and add a little glue stick to help hold in position. Stitch around heart a few times to secure to card.
- Add message from the Tim Holtz Sentiments Layer Stickers as desired.
I love substituting fabric for paper because it’s a great way to add texture to your card.
- Cut a pieces of ledger fabric large enough for your card front leaving a small boarder. Stitch around the outside to secure to card.
- Add a small piece of fabric to the red cardstock mat and add stitching around the outside. Die cut a heart using felt.
- Stamp message with Black Soot Archival Ink using the Tim Holtz Crazy Talk stamp set from Stampers Anonymous.
- Adhere pieces together with foam squares. Wrap red and white twine around card with a bow. Add a charm
I hope you will incorporate some fabric in your next project. Thanks ~ Richele
