DIY Stamped Fabric

I am a little obsessed with fabric these days. As a designer I am so anxious to design my own fabrics but printing your own fabric designs is so expensive. Then I realized I had everything I needed right here in my craft room!
1) light colored cotton fabric (found in JoAnn's Fabrics remnant bins for 50% off)
2) cute stamps (bonus: I designed them)
3) pigment craft ink (from Clear & Simple Stamps)

I used two stamp sets from Clear & Simple Stamps: Apothecary Sweets and Apothecary Holidays.

 Once I was finished stamping the fabric I scoured my Pinterest Sewing Board for a project. I thought this Fabric Tray Tutorial was perfect!

Thanks for stopping by,

Craft Room

 

Crafty Sentiments

Do you find that, as a crafter, you rarely receive handmade gifts? But when you do, you light up like a Christmas tree?! Our newborn received a handmade knitted blanket recently. I was so giddy!! It is so very special. It is true that the best things in life, IMHO, are handmade!

I really wanted to make a one layer card. So here, I just stamped the ribbon image multiple times directly to the card base and colored them in with Copics. I added a little 'candy cane' twine (that is what I like to call it) to the folded edge to match. Isn't she lovely?!

Now off you go. Here are the rest of the Design Team links:

Stay tuned for a crafting overload people......

Wedding Invite

Just a little Graphic Design project I worked on this year for a dear cousin.
Although, they have not set a date, this is a sweet little mock-up of a unique
invitation with built-in panel for RSVP.

Modern and hot, right? I hope they pick a date soon! No pressure! :)
