Fabric {Love} ...

Good morning Blog Friends. I am back with a couple of cards to share. I love to sew, but seem to have so many drawers and boxes full of fabric scraps. I just can't seem to bring myself to chuck some gorgeous Timeless Treasures prints, or delightful Amy Butler offcuts in the rubbish.... they are all just too pretty... I put my heart and soul into selecting each piece for a project, so I have been working out ways that I can use my scraps, and that often involves a little card making. Here are some cards utilising some of my favourite scraps, first up are some yo yo's, adhered to the card with some glue dots... a little stamp in some coordinating ink... a matching button... a pretty border and voila...




... and some chipboard rectangles (leftovers from the Star Album covers) covered in fabric and adhered to the card front. It's is so good to use the bits and pieces laying around from other tasks.


What do you do with your leftover pieces of fabric? Are they swallowing up your house like mine?

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by ♥

cute cards as always Kathy. lots of my friends seem to be making their own jams and relishes at the moment - fabric comes in handy for putting on the jars :) trishd
