I haven't done and paper crafting in years...and yet I've been quite the paper crafter this week! A friend from church invited me to join a monthly card swapping party. My only problem...I don't have any scrapbook materials anymore. I have a ton of paper left...but no embellishments. What to do...use my huge fabric stash of course!
The great thing about mixing cardstock + fabric is that you can make cute cards using all of those left over sewing scraps!

Here are few of my favorite. To make these card I cut out three circles: Large, Medium and Small. I looked for cute pictures from the fabric for the small circles.
Then layer the 3 circles on the front side of your card. Using a zigazg stitch, sew all around the circle.
For the inside of the card, simply cut a colored piece of card stock 1/2" smaller than the card (so there will be a white border)
If I had more time I would hand stitch with embroidery floss around the front of the card. You could also add buttons (hand stitch or hot glue) or other embellishments that you have on hand.
I have 10 more cards to make before the party tonight. Check back tomorrow for a cute Happy Birthday card idea using cupcake fabric!
Somewhat Simple
These are so cute! I will be making Easter cards like this!
