How to Use Fabric on Your Handmade Greeting Cards | Crafting with Brandy Cox from BrandysCards

[@MaryLindauer]

Great ideas. It also works with an adhesive sheet with cardstock and then run it though an embossing folder. It really seals the material to the cardstock & looks fabulous. ❤

[@francesfaulkner6829]

I've put fabric and wonder under on my shopping list. Love that idea!

[@lillianrivera2180]

Beautiful card and plate!!!❤️😊😊

[@sylntweety]

Beautiful card...so much fun! I keep a Quilter's Cut'n Press on my craft table 24/7 and can't wait to start making cards with fabric. 😃

[@oasisdesigngallery3867]

Lovely cards! Here's a helpful tip: If you use a teflon sheet when ironing your fabric to your card stock and envelope, you won't have to worry about your iron or the ironing board getting melted glue all over it. Also you can use a heavier fusible fabric interface instead which will stabilize your fabric and then you can just glue it to your card stock. The glue will not seep through the interface. This is a technique used in hard cover books. It will be more cost effective than wonder under. 💜😃

[@susanwade2638]

You could also try saving the backing ( contact paper) between the glue flap and the folded envelope when you iron on the fabric. Make sure to put the correct side next to the glue. The side that releases from the Wonder Under needs to be next to the glue.

Awesome cards ! Thank you😊

[@carolcolclough4650]

and here I always thoughtthought I invented this, ha ha! Thank you for the detailed directions, very concise.

[@junek8574]

Beautiful. On your bee card I would have fussy cut the beehive out and put dimensionals behind it and put it on the card. I love all your ideas. You can also use Modge podge to adhere fabric to card stock. Put modge podge on card stock thick, let dry completely. Then iron on your fabric. 😊

[@BrendaC-l9k]

Great tip, will try!❤

[@user-DonsWoman]

[@carolnicholson2032]

So pretty. I do the fabric on cards then emboss it before adding it to the front of my card.

[@joanpartridge9077]

Amazing.!! Will definitely do it

[@RenaMiller-u1v]

Nice tutorial on this 🎉🎉Older product it’s so great to see a new of discovering and using wonder under! It is found in fabric store interfacing departments at Jo Ann’s!

[@patriciasimmel1602]

Just as beautiful as you are Brandy. Thank you for this awesome video!

[@deniseluper8078]

L❤ve your cards. I've experimented a bit w quilting fabrics and applying Also have used saran wrap method, prefer yours, less messy

[@sandianderson1500]

What beautiful cards, Brandy. Such a clever way of making a card!

[@vasanthalucky5388]

This is just fantastic work. I love it!

[@gingerdavis910]

Brandy hi. I haven't been crafting for 3 or4 years now but I've been watching your videos lately and I'm in love again. There are so many new products I really would like a catalog to know where to begin.

[@raykathyvarga4355]

I like the cards with the sunflowers where the flower is in full view. Then adding the sentiment that is not covering any of the focal flower. I have purchased plates covered in decorative fabric at a craft show many, many years ago. As you say, there are so many good choices at the fabric store to use for this type of project. But for me, I prefer using designer paper for my cards. But if I saw these at a craft show, I might be tempted to buy some of the fabric cards or plates!

[@maryf1838]

Beautiful. My daughter is a quilter and I always tell her I wish they made paper like the Beautiful fabrics. Well now here we are. Thank you!

[@annettedepete4314]

Absolutely a fun video. The papers are beautiful. Thanks for the great tips.🌴💕🎄

[@stellaolejar9007]

Wow - like the saying goes ‘What’s old is new again’. I recall first making these type of cards with fabric about 21 years ago. Brandy these cards are beautiful.

[@JayneSwanson-d6y]

These cards are actually beautiful! I have loads of Christmas fabric so I see some gift cards in my future.

[@Lulu13962]

You've opened up Pandora's box for me! This just gives us endless possibilities for future cards. I'm definitely checking out the video for the plate.

[@dlkessler4594]

Oh Brandy...Dang CUTE cards!!!!!!!!!! I love them! You found some really beautiful fabrics! Amazing! I'll have to give this a try...I know some friends who will really appreciate and enjoy receiving them! Thanks SO much for sharing this! Blessings!

[@mariaalicedrummond4885]

Love! Love and Love it! Great idea! Thanks again Brandy!

[@jacquisccarroll8635]

Wow that's awesome ❤

[@brandyscards]

Thank you!!

[@LisaDash-sk8on]

Absolutely beautiful using fabric. Clever idea to dress up a card for any occasion 👍

[@brandyscards]

Thank you Lisa!!

[@jenniferrathjensdlrt3661]

Wow what a wonderful job!!! Love your tutorial!! This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing it!!

[@joycebutler1553]

I loved the blue and green ones but really almost all equally. Would be a great gift set for someone. Love the technique as well that I can try with other things.

[@aliciakey9333]

very entertaining watching you discuss the fusible! I'm a quilter so it's an everyday thing for me but I'd never thought of trying to tell someone who'd never used it before all about it! The cards are awesome, love the idea of making a set as a gift. You might like to get a wool ironing pad to have handy with your craft iron rather than the sleeve board. It lies flat on your counter & comes in MANY sizes ex 8"x8" and up. Enjoyed your video. I'll go find the plate one now!

[@cathynuytten798]

I was thinking the same thing with the wool pressing mat. It would be much easier and FLATTER.

[@ginnypream8837]

Cards and plates are amazing!!!

[@suzannedepies7866]

Beautiful cards! Never thought of using fabric, fantastic ideas!

[@sherylefagan5132]

Oh Brandy I think you’re the most wonderful demonstrator out there. I love those cards I watch that first video with the animals when you did that years ago and I’ve been making fabric cards ever cents and I’ve been using napkins also in the same way almost in the same way, thank you for all your cleverness and for you passing it on and to remind us that how awesome you are have a very merry Christmas

[@AcquanettaLivingston]

That is fantastic! I will definitely try this technique. Thanks a bunch!

[@sandracedar368]

I love how you showed the entire process so clearly. I have heard of the fabric cards, but I wasn’t aware of how they were made. They are beautiful! Thank you for such a great tutorial. My first visit. Looking forward to my next, etc. Merry Christmas🫶🎄

[@Craftygirl50]

I love your card. What a great idea to use fabric on cards and plates. I will definitely try this at some point

[@cyndinielsen972]

This reminds me of what I did 25 yrs ago to make my own paper bags. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@pattiemoss2287]

Thank you for this video! I was hoping you could make cards with fabric! I am very new to card making! My daughter lives in Concord! If you do another crafting weekend there (or any day) again, I would love to be notified! She would enjoy it too!

[@CreativelyChallenged]

Thar is such a beautiful fabric!! These are amazing; I have to get organized with my SU first before I can start other projects.

[@patriciavidrio3617]

Oh my, so beautiful! I missed the live but I watched the replay. I have some Christmas fabric that would look great as a card. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@bonniewyke9396]

Brandy, great video. I made cards when you did a video 3 years ago, using fabric on cards. Love all the fabrics you used. I made 3 of the fabric backed plates and greeting cards to match. Thank you for the great ideas.

[@cathyveverka8094]

TFS this great technique to use fabric on cards & envelopes! 😊 As I quilt & stamp, this is another great crafting crossover!! They make applique pressing sheets I place under & over anything with fusible adhesive that I'm pressing 😊

[@juliacrane6042]

So many great ideas and comments. I used Wonder Under since the 70's when I had a fabric store. I use a sandwich of Parchment baking paper whenever I use an iron on any Freezer paper, wax paper, napkins etc. Nothing sticks to it. Then it doesn't get glue on my ironing board or iron. I plan to try Wonder Under on mesh fabric next. I am tired of going outside to spray adhesive on my cardstock for these and never know how well they are going to hold or dry.

[@Its.me_Christina]

Beautiful cards using this idea!! (Though the 2nd flower example the flowers were upside down. Oppsie. Lol. But the card is so lretty no one will notice :-) ) Fantastic idea and cant wait to try it!

[@HesterKelley]

Thanks for the reminder of how to do the cards. I haven't done those for awhile and had almost forgot how to do them. So thanks for the reminder! I also love the plates. I had to order mine online ( the store didn't have any). I've made 12 of them. Plus I made a label for the back to remind them of how to take care of the plates. Thanks again.

[@annmarielightner5100]

Beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing this technique.

[@patriciawilson4135]

I love this idea and a great card to give someone that sews and does needle crafts. Thanks for showing us how to do this.

[@lauramartin7300]

I kinda forgot about adding fabric to cards. I used to do a lot of quilting and taught classes. I have A LOT of fabric. Have to add this to my list of "TO DO" . This is a good use to use a FAT QUARTERS of material, and they are cheap to get. You can have a lot of choices too. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbarawren4731]

What a Gorgeous array of cards❣️ I Love, Love them and adding fabric makes them very unique! Thank you so much…❤

[@lisamoss6348]

hello brandy i love this idea, This fabric would be so gorgeous as DSP

[@janabetts7993]

What a beautiful card idea! I have lots of fabric scraps in my craft room left over from sewing face masks during Covid I can use for this technique.

[@marlenekane209]

❤ very Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️ LOVE THIS.

[@sandradavis2742]

What a wonderful idea. When you purchased your fabric, how much fabric did you purchase (1/4, 1/2 or yard, etc)?

[@kayenash5481]

That's a brilliant idea 💡 👏 🥰

[@camilleanzelmo6275]

Thank you so much for the ideas. I already did six plates with material now I just have to make the cards. I really appreciate all your hints.

[@dianamahar483]

Very pretty, Brandy ❤

Beautiful cards Brandy looks like fun

[@rosemarieschmidt2423]

You are always amazing at creating beautiful projects! Love all the projects!

[@barbaraalexander3456]

you can use freezer paper under material and put a piece over the material and wonderpaper. that way it will not get on iron or your table or ironing board.

[@jackiebrechtelsbauer9311]

So glad the younger generation has found out how we used all she said and used we did years ago good jobthank

[@dgrueser]
