More waxed fabric cards!

A couple more cards using those squares of waxed fabric.  Pretty much the same steps - stitched my fabric square (3.5") to a coordinating card stock using coordinating thread on my sewing machine.  On the left hand card, I punched the edge with my eyelet border punch (SU), embossed it with a stitching embossing folder (CB), layered this whole element on my yellow card front and added a colour printed greeting.  On the right hand side card I added some coordinating seam binding as I stitched the waxed fabric to the coordinating layer, glued the whole thing to a card front and added the colour printed greeting using 3D foam tape.
Was really fun to play with this waxed fabric!!

Waxed fabric thank you cards

Here are some cards I made with the fabric I waxed with wax crayons a while back.
I started by stitching my little waxed fabric square (3.5") to a coordinating card stock layer with coordinating thread on my sewing machine.  On the left hand card, I added a tied piece of seam binding on the lower section and a layered colour printed greeting.  On the right hand card, I embossed the cardstock layer with a button embossing folder, layered the whole element onto an embossed card front and added a colour printed greeting.  It was fun to create cards that look quite different using pieces cut from the same piece of fabric.  I am really enjoying the challenge of trying different techniques!!  I will try something really different next time I use wax crayons on fabric - all sorts of ideas in my head.
