How To Use Fabric Too Big For Cards

 

Do you have fabric with large images

that you think are too big for a card?

This fabric for example has large images

that look too large to put on a card, but

Rachel had other plans for this fabric.


Scroll down to see how she used

this fabric to make cards!


#992


Here she made a slim card.

4x9


Here it is opened up.


This card is a 5x7.


Here is it open!


And here is the last one she made.


This is an A2 card :)


There are two more coordinating fabrics that 
Rachel is planning on making cards with!
Stay tuned :)

#993

The scenes on these fabrics are just to beautiful not
to make into a card. Even when you think
the image is too big there is almost always 
a way to make it work!

If you look closely you can see the fabric 
detail added onto the card! Adding a realistic touch.


Rachel used a small piece of fabric and a glue dot
to attach to the sewing machine fabric cut out.


Fold the fabric


And fold the top over to the back of the 
sewing machine, attach with a glue dot.


Here is the other fabrics she used
on the cards.
