Happy Scrappy Cards

July 2, 2017 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 3 Comments

Happy Scrappy Cards - make sweet cards using your fabric scraps and lace motifs.

Handmade cards are the perfect finishing touch to a handmade gift! I love to challenge myself to use the fabric scraps left over from a new project design. These little Happy Scrappy cards are a great scrap buster project and can be quickly constructed. This would be a fun project for kids to make – they would have fun sorting through your fabric “scraps”.

Happy Scrappy Cards - make sweet cards using your fabric scraps and lace motifs.

If you would like to make your own Happy Scrappy Cards, you will need:

  • assorted fabric scraps – I used four fabrics from the same colour family in my cards. Fabric used is Tilda Harvest.
  • quality white card
  • double sided adhesive sheets
  • lace motif 
  • fabric glue

Happy Scrappy Cards - make sweet cards using your fabric scraps and lace motifs.

I made cards in two sizes. The larger card used four fabric squares, each measuring 1 3/4 inches; and the smaller card used four squares measuring 1 inch. You can make the happy scrappy cards in whatever size you prefer.

Method:

  • Cut four fabric scraps into squares.
  • Cut a piece of double sided adhesive the same size as the fabric square and adhere it to the back of the fabric.
  • Cut the card to size and add the four patchwork squares so that they are centred on the front of the card.
  • Add a lace motif and attach to the middle of the card using a few drops of fabric adhesive.

These cards were made from scraps of Tilda Harvest, the new Tilda range that will be available from August 1. I have designed a new sewing project using these sweet fabrics. Stay tuned for the blog hop later this month which will coincide with my new pattern release.

I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart C I had fun sewing this Valentine's inspired Heart Clasp Purse using a kit from @zakkaworkshop . I had the perfect heart fabric in my stash.  The kit comes with full sized templates, hardware ( clasp and paper string), and lots of step by step instructions and photos to guide you through the process. It has been a while since I have made a clasp purse but it was fairly straightforward. Check out  other Heart Clasp Purses by following #heartclasppurse and #zakkaworkshop  Perfect Valentine's project.
