This is an easy challenge with three parts.
1) Material - I want you to add fabric to your card or papercraft project.
The caveat is that I want this to be a fabric that you would not usually use on a card, so no pre-made embellishments or anything like that. You might want to recycle an old garment or some felt from a kid's project. Use it for your whole background or make an accent.
2) Use stamping on your project. You can stamp on the fabric, but so long as there is stamping somewhere, it counts.
3) Girl - Optional - You get a bonus entry if the project is feminine.]
Here is an example: http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=2318#top_display_media
My material is the fabric flower. In case you are interested how to make them, you cut any sized circle out of fabric, then you use a needle and thread and cinch middle together. Let me try to find a tutorial, it is super a super easy thing I have made in the past for sewing projects, but why not cards? http://craftingmom.com/yo-yo-flowers/

There will be a small RAK awarded for this challenge.
New projects only, you may combine, please upload into gallery and assign keyword WF16MG and link to this thread.
Please ask any questions below and have fun!

Cool challenge. I have a bunch of fabric I picked up to make flowers from that is just sitting in a drawer.
-
Interesting challenge. Your sample is lovely. I think using the material as a background might be interesting. I am going to have to think about that one. Thank you for hosting.
-
Thanks Heidi!
I bought a book years ago about using fabric on cards and I haven't done it yet. I just might dig it out! But then, who doesn't love yo-yo's!
Lots of options here. I love the sample you made!!
-
Thanks Heidi!

Oh that sounds fun to look at a book like that!
Sadie, I have some fabric out that I wanted to make as the whole background to a card, but I did not have time to do this yet. Some of the patterned fabrics I have are so pretty!
-
I have something in mind if I can find a piece of fabric. Looking forward to playing!
April ;D

Great challenge, Heidi! Your card is pretty, did you make the yo yo? My mom has been working for years on a yo yo quilt.
I don't have much fabric but I'm sure I can find something that I can work with. Thanks for hosting :-)
-
Oh you have my wheels turning on this one, I have a few scrap piecing of fabric that need using :angel:

Yes I did make the yo-yo. They are easy and fun! I can't imagine making so many of them to make a quilt though!
I probably have enough fabric around to do that though. Lol

I combined this with Impress Me, Stand Tall and Stand Your Ground.

I got out a tea light to curve the edges of the flowers I made with sheer pink fabric. Here are some close-ups of the flowers.
-
Craft Nerd, wonderful entry and combo. Thank you for providing those great close ups! Thanks for doing the Material Girl Challenge!
-
Here's my truly material girl (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?pid=2354).
Had fun with this one, Heidi. TY for the challenge. O0 :smitten:
-
Daniel, I really like your choice of fabric and how you altered it to make it look very old. Thanks so much for taking the time to do my challenge!
-
I made a felt bow to add to this little girl and cat.
I have been wanting to make some of these bow since I saw some on a blog

-
Yankee, you nailed it! I was really hoping someone would try to make an embellishment with felt. I want to try to use up some of my felt, but hadn't thought of too many ideas yet.
Thanks for taking my challenge!
-
I am about to finish my project. I am concerned about stamping on the fabric, afraid that the ink will run. So I am going to stamp on a card stock and then add to the card.
Are their certain inks that will work on fabric.

Ann, sorry I am not able to tell you which inks will work. There are definitely some Crafter's Ink (made by Colorbox) I have seen at the store that say right on them that they will work on fabric. That does not mean that the inks we already have won't work. Maybe someone else has more information on this. If I were to try it, I would use a scrap of material to test this out on.
I will look forward to seeing your card.
-
I quickly searched google just now for "which ink pads work on fabric?"
This link showed you can use a lot of them!
http://www.crafttestdummies.com/craft-product-reviews/comparison-of-stamp-pad-inks-on-fabric/
When I clicked on that link, I realized we had seen it before, maybe over at TwoPeas, we had this same discussion. Always good to have a reminder.
-
I bought some memento Luxe ink because I heard it was good on fabric, I have not tried it yet, but if you have that it should work, I read the back and it does say for fabric
-
Heidi, I am unclear about what you define as material not usually used on cards. I have used cheese cloth, canvas, muslin, felt-craft, wool, and glittered, gauze, cotton fabric, burlap, netting, organza...and I am sure others.
Yes, I remember that ink review.

The few things I was thinking of were packaged fabric embellishments sold for use with papercraft and sticky back canvas, also sold in the paper crafting section. Also, ribbon dos not count.
So I think that pretty much everything on your list would work. :). Thanks for asking!

Here is my entry. Thanks for the fun challenge! I combined this card with this challenge and Impress Me.

Stampwilly, I love your idea of reusing a piece of your kitchen towel to make into a flower! That was super creative! Thanks for playing!
-
Ann, I have used memento dye inks and hero arts inks on fabrics with very little bleeding. Connie, I remember reading that the memento luxe was good on fabrics too. I think stazon works as well.
I am waiting on my piece to dry so I can put it on a card. I used some liquid pearls on it. I didn't have much fabric on hand but I had some leftover felt from a kids projects. I was surprised at how well the spellbinders die cut through it.
-
So much fun and this was a fun challenge.
Here is my card and I love it.

Thanks for the opportunity to use my Peanuts Fabric.
-
Ann that is a super entry! I really like that you were able to repurpose fabric from a scrubs top from the thrift store! That is wonderful! Thanks so much for taking the time to do my challenge!

I bought the linen fabric in the remnants section at Jo-Anns last year, and never gave inking on it a try so I am happy that you had us use material, finally made me give it a try. The ink worked very well I think. The markers to color it was a bit of a challenge though, they bled very easily, but I wasn't sure what else to try. I ran the lined through my xyron to attach it to the layered tag and I think the material got a little stretched out. Added lace and flowers to give it a feminine touch :)
-
Connie, sometimes we don't know what products will work best. If I am using a brand new surface whether paper or otherwise I start with some small size trials and try a couple different colorant possibilities. If none are satisfactory I'd post a note on AI or do an internet search. I don't know Spectrum Noir markers but I do know alcohol ink works best on nonporous surfaces...and I would consider fabric very porous. But since you got good results with your ink...you may want to consider changing your stamp to a more solid image that does not need additional coloring with stamping until you have more time for research. I love the texture of linen...be sure to share when get results that you are happier with.
-
Connie, I think your entry is very pretty. Sometimes you don't know if you don't try something, so I am glad this challenge helped you to try some fabric on your card. I also love that you got two fabrics in there, both the felt fabric flowers and your linen! Thanks so much for taking the time to participate!
-
I finally got my material girl challenge entry done. Here it is. (http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=2422#top_display_media) I don't like working with material on cards....I didn't really know this until I tried this challenge.
Thank you for looking.
-
Sadie you are so funny. I am sorry you did not like this, but at least you know! Lol. Your card did turn out VERY pretty and I liked how you really went all out with the material. Thanks for doing my challenge!
-
Lol, Sadie I had given almost all of my fabric away to my mom and MIL, sewing isn't for me so I didn't think I would need it! Now I'm wishing I would have held on to some. I only had some felt and white fabric I use for embroidery. I tried making some fabric flowers from the white cotton I had but I could never get them to lay flat enough. So I took an easy out and made some pockets for my cards with dies.

This one is a gift card holder
And this one is for a little girls birthday, it's Rainbow and care bear themed so I thought it would work. The felt piece has a pin backing attached so she could wear it if she wants in her party day-
http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?pid=2428
I was pretty surprised at how well the felt cut with the dies. I did have to run it few about 4 times. This was a fun one to do and something I haven't ever done before, thank you Heidi for hosting :-)
-
Hey LeighAnn, you created two great cards! I have cut felt in my Cuttlebug before and I think I passed it through a couple times. I remember that I turned my plates over and cut again, and that helped.
Thanks so much for playing, I really appreciate it!
-
I have had the thoughts of stamping, inking, etc to make some book covers for far too long. So this challenge gave me inspiration to kick it in gear and just do it! So I did and created a cover on muslin, matted with felt and made a homemade fabric bead. It all was too much fun with a surprise new experience around every corner. Thank you Heidi for all the fun!

Really neat project Jan! I love your cover and the design and shiny products you used to give it flair. It would be fun to see how you used your journal in the future. Thanks so much for doing my challenge. :)
-
I thought this was another fun one to host. I really like the variety of projects created for this one! I also chuckled that some of you figured out that fabric was just not your thing!
However, kindof funny, since several of you used felt, I noticed that Taylored expressions is now carrying felt for die cutting. I think that is too funny!
Anyhow........
I did tally this all up too,
And I do have a little RAK for a winner!
I used the Random.org again.
Who could it be??????
But the infamous?????????
???????????????
Looser!
Daniel, I am pretty sure I have your address, but if not I will PM you.
Thank you all for the fun this Winterfest!

Congrats, Daniel!

Congrats Daniel

Congrats, Daniel.

Infamous, Heidi? :D 'Sok by me. I have enjoyed being called lots of adjectives--macabre & whimisical are to 2 of my fave
Thanks for a fun challenge & looking forward to the RAK :smitten:
-
Congrats Daniel!!
And thanks again, Heidi! I really enjoyed working with the felt. I find fabric isn't so intimidating on a smaller scale, its the sewing machine that I don't care for!
-
I got a super neat RAK from Heidi in today's mail! PM'd her a big TY & plan to use the goodies 'fer sure' ;D
