Fabulous Fabric Cards by Richele Christensen!
Hi friend! Happy Saturday! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Richele Christensen with this super trio of fabric cards! Read on for all the details and enjoy!
Hello Friends! You all know how much I love the Tim Holtz Palette Collection! But instead of sewing today I wanted to create some cards. I think the fabric adds a certain soft texture and if you add stitching its even better. The Tim Holtz Embroidery Stamp Set seemed perfect to pair with the fabric and the set has coordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp.
Cut your fabric for your background about 1/2” smaller then the card base. I’ve used a pinking edge buy you could cut it straight too. Cut a piece of batting a little larger to layer under the fabric.
Tear a few pieces of fabric to add to your card background and stitch together.
Adhere the sewn piece to the card using Collage Medium or SSS Craft Glue.
Add a few vintage buttons if you’d like.
Stamp the flowers from the Stampers Anonymous Embroidery Set CMS486 with Versa Vine Nocturne Ink.
Die cut the stamped image with the matching dies from Simon Says Stamp set #SSS486.
Color the flower with Distress Watercolor Pencils. Did you know you can make a palette using the pencil shavings from these pencils and then you can use a water brush to color.
Color the Butterfly Adornments with some Gold Mixative and a little Mushroom Alcohol Ink using a cotton swab. Before the ink dries I buff it with a soft cloth to reveal some of the original metal.
Adhere the flowers with Foam Squares and the Butterfly with Collage Medium. The Label Stickers are a fun way to add a message and don’t forget to pop it up with foam squares.
Splatter a little Distress Spritz over there card for a little sparkle.
I had so much fun creating these cards I hope you will try using a little fabric for your next cards. Thanks for stopping by and happy creating! –Richele

Oh wow these are so cool
I love how Richele Christensen combined fabric textures with cardmaking techniques to create such soft and elegant designs.
What a beautiful and creative project! Your attention to detail is truly inspiring. If you need a fun, relaxing break after all that crafting, I highly recommend checking out Slice Master—it’s super satisfying!
People ask me why I keep playing. I tell them it is that moment of not knowing. The second before the reels stop or the dice settle. I found a Nigerian platform that gives me that rush every single night. Did the https://stake1.ng/registration/ in two minutes and forgot about it. Now I am hooked on live betting and those unique games that feel different from boring old slots. A small win makes me cheer alone in my room. A loss just makes me want one more try. That is the thrill I chase.
