Fabric is all the rage these days, especially when you combine it with paper crafting. In the PC101 column of the May/June issue of Paper Crafts magazine, Go-to Gal Kim Kesti came up with nine innovative ways to add fabric to paper crafted projects. Check it:
Die-cut an embellishment.
Quilt with batting for extra dimension.
Create a flower by gathering the outer edge of a circle.
Fray edges for instant texture.
Cut out a motif for a vibrant focal point.
Tear a strip and use as ribbon.
Dye with ink for a fun background.
Gather a strip to make a ruffle.
Cover metal buttons for a custom look.In this fun gift bag, Kim has created both a ruffle and a floral focal point with fabric:
Fowers & Ruffles Gift Bag, p. 30And in this cutie pie purse card, she's incorporated a quilted fabric front and she's covered a metal button with fabric.
Friends Purse Card, p. 29With so many out-of-the-basket ideas on how to incorporate fabric on paper crafted projects, I'm sure you're more than inspired to work up an innovative project for this, our next Moxie Fab World challenge. I know, right?
If so, here are the deets:

Question, Cath - may we enter something that we have done in the past, or does the project always have to be made specifically for your challenge? Thanks for the clarification!

I've been searching for the fabric I used on my card since January, when I was wanting to join another fabric-based challenge. I finally found it in time for this one - hooray!

Enjoyed this challenge as I love how lace gives elements of transparency and texture to my cards
Thanks for a fun challenge, Cath. This pushed me to try something new.
Hi Lin! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your question, but I just now saw it. It's fine to link up something that you've already created as long as it fits the challenge, I would just ask that you add an ETA with the link to the challenge on your post. Thanks for asking!
I wish I had more time...I'll just post the one. I had so many creative ideas in my head, but life has gotten in the way...
Super submissions girls, I love everything!!!
