Card making with Torendi has been such a FUN experience! I love thinking of what occasions are "celebrate-able" and how I can honor them. I've never made anything to welcome someone - a new neighbor, a new co-worker for example. I wanted to use Fabric Mod Podge this week, and I wanted to welcome someone. I did both of those things with my Welcome Card above.
Supplies
Fabric Mod Podge (prepare the fabric with it before cutting)
Fabric: Canvas Mushroom
Cardstock: American Crafts (green), K&Company (blue sky), Basic Gray (brown)
Punch: Fiskars corner rounder
Circle Cutter or circle punches
Stamp: Image Tree Wooden Rubber Stamps, Antique Typerwriter
Ink: W R Memory Keepers Teen Angst
Ribbon: from Torendi's October kit "Joy"
Adhesive: Glue Dots and Tacky Glue
Accents: Buttons and Mini Pop Dots to raise the circles
To celebrate my third week with Torendi, the giveaway! The rules are very easy:
1. I'm giving away one starter pack every Friday for the month of March when I post my Torendi card (this is in addition to my typical Sunday giveaway).
2. You must be a US resident, one entry per person.
3. Comment on this blog entry. This week, just tell me what you are going to create this weekend!
4. Contest ends tomorrow night, 3/20, at midnight EST.
BONUS - at the end of this gig, on March 26th, Torendi is giving one of their fab fabrics away to a lucky person who has left a comment on a Friday during the month.

ReplyDeleteOoooh! I'm first. I'm going to make a quilt block for a quilt along I'm in. I haven't gotten to it all week. Can't wait to do it now.
ReplyDeleteMelissa
I have two things on my list to create this weekend. A paper covered picture frame. and a HULA HOOP!
ReplyDeleteI would love a starter pack!
ReplyDeleteI plan to decorate a picture frame for my nephew for his easter pics! :-)
My 5yo son is throwing a "Winter Halloween" party on Sunday, so I'll be making a tablecloth, garland, spooky edibles, etc. He's got quite a plan and is thrilled that he finally gets to be a party "host". I'll be a busy, busy mom. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Hmmm....so many things I want to make this week and so little time, but I'm thinking something with all the old book pages I have!
ReplyDeletethis weekend i am creating some appliqued tie tee shirts to sell in a local boutique.
ReplyDeletei want to create a set of blocks that say "spring" w/ paper and modge podge, but that will have to wait until the money maker items are done :)
Awesome card! Love using fabric! I'm going to be working on , and hopefully finishing, a big framed picture of my two girl and their hands painted on paper. It's almost like a huge scrapbook page for their grandmother's b-day. Also making a really cute vase of paper flowers using some Modge Podge of course :}
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to find just the right paper to do a spring collage!

I love making cards. I have never used modge podge fabric for cards, I have always scrapbooked them. Such a cool idea that I will have to try. Card making is so easy and means so much to other people that you not only think of them, but actually took time to make a card for them. This weekend I will be working on two birthday cards for a 5 year old and 3 year old little boy that my son's plays with.
ReplyDeleteLove love love the little deer and mushrooms! That's the fabric??!? I just found you courtesy of CraftTestDummies, and I am thrilled! I have been wanting to decoupage my back door forever. Looking forward to exploring your blog further! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to start using Mod Podge!!!:O)
ReplyDeleteoooh, that card is SO cute, Amy! i love the fabric - Torendi is full of great stuff! i've been seeing more fun printed fabrics show up in cards and i'm LOVING it! (our Wal-Mart is getting rid of their fabric section, and everything is 75% off!)
ReplyDeletethis weekend, i'm going FABRIC SHOPPING and i'm actually thinking of making a bag for a friend, but it's more likely i'll at least finish up the button embellishments i've been working on. :)
happy friday!
Hi! Love this Fabric Mod Podge thing. This weekend I might try it, plus knit a baby bib out of (what else!) nautical flags, and create a new design notebook.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to take a few hours to clean up my craft room and then get a few cards made.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to be working on my porch make over!
ReplyDelete~Bridgette
new to the whole decoupage thing. would like to try the outdoor stuff. anyone had luck with it? ideas and input welcome!
ReplyDeleteI have so much to do this weekend! I hope I get to do some crafting too. FABRIC Mod Podge? Hmmm..... Could think up several used for that!
ReplyDeleteI'll be embellishing a few tees for my friend's little girl this weekend! Plus, I've got some ModPodge recipe card separators to work on :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. Love the mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteI love using fabric bits on my handmade cards.

ReplyDeleteThis weekend I will be altering my ill-fitting costume for a dance performance--we'll see how that goes.
ReplyDeletevery fun! I must admit, I use Mod Podge on paper all the time, but I've never heard of Fabric Mod Podge. Must try that out! I'm guessing it keeps the fabric from fraying? I just might make some fun little fabric pins this week with it. :-) Love this blog.
ReplyDeleteadorable card!
ReplyDeleteCute card! I'm going to be creating some hair clips for my niece for Easter.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a couple of really old sewing machine drawers at a resale shop a few months ago, and I am thinking about fixing them up! Spray painting the outside & Mod Podging the inside with some cute paper!

ReplyDeleteLove these give-a-ways! Thanks!
I'm cutting out fabric for two baby quilts. I don't know who they'll be for--but usually by the time I get a shower invitation, there's not enough time left to make something like this, so I'm trying to build up a small stockpile of handmade gifts.
ReplyDeleteI'm turning an old shirt into a throw pillow cover.

The mushrooms are absolutely darling! I am a beginner to the world of card making but I am enjoying it thoroughly. Once I figured out that I could stay in my comfort zone with colors I liked it's made the biggest difference! My goal is to have a card for every holiday.. so I've been BUSY!

ReplyDeletei would like to make something with wooden letters, maybe for my friends who just got their first house, or those wooden signs that say "home."

I am making some Easter decorations (with Mod Podge of course!) and working on my duvet cover!
ReplyDeleteI am going to make a new journal to play in but this time with black paper. I think the possibilities will be endless and interesting. But then again I may make it and be totally stumped with what to use to make my mark inside. And I definitely need to make a few postcards. I made my first mod podge collage postcard and sent it to Italy. I forgot to scan it first. Oh well!! Now I'll just have to make another.

Is it wicked of me to continue to enter your giveaways even though I WON??? Well, I guess this one involves fabric, which is so coveted by me, and I'm usually too cheap to buy whatever fabric I love. Anyway, I'm planning to spray paint an ugly little dollar store birdie. She won't be ugly by Monday! :)
ReplyDeletebethanyweed@gmail.com
I am planning on using the paper mod podge that I recently purchased on a mixed media piece. (will be my first time trying mixed media).

ReplyDeleteI'm going to decoupage some cigar boxes to keep my jewelry in!
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I'm creating a more organized craft space. I have a large walk-in closet where I store all of my stuff and, up until last night it was a complete mess. I made the decision this week when I purchased a few items then later discovered that I already had them! They were just lost in the closet. My project started last night when I emptied the closet out. Today the job will be a little more challenging as I sort through this stuff and make some kind of sense out of it.
ReplyDeleteYou can see that I'm off to a great start this morning...on the computer, commenting on blogs....LOL :)
Found you from Crap and I'm super intrigued. I've never used ModPodge but I am getting more and more daring so I'd love to start!
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I'm working on finishing a baby blanket that matches a one piece baby jumper I crocheted. I crochet items for babies & dontate them to our local church.

I found an awesome huge desk that I am painting and then covering the drawers with paper. Fun!
ReplyDeleteI just finished a beading bracelet project last night. I will work on a Sunday school craft today for the kids tomorrow. But, my main focus this weekend is going to be cleaning up the house!!! So, I am going to try and create a clean environment I guess.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I will be finishing up four disney themed dresses for my girls. On my to do list is also decoupaging a jornal to give as a gift and prettying up a box that we put daily reflections of our lives in.
ReplyDeleteOf course my want to do list is super long and maybe I may get a weekend to craft all alone without any kiddos in the near future...that would be heaven :)
I'm never going to win am I?
ReplyDeleteI'm at a standstill. I have several items to redo but I don't have any creative juices right now. I need some ideas! STAT!
This weekend I'm trying my hand at quilting with paper!
ReplyDeletebeckyfdavis at comcast dot net
I would love this! I'm going to make postcards this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi-Excited about the giveaway!! Thank you. I have created *order.* Moved a second-hand (freebie) cabinet into the office and put a buncha supplies and papers away-all behind closed doors and drawers. Yeay!-space. I also created gift boxes/handle boxes by opening up empty cracker boxes and (oatmeal individual pack) boxes (destined for the trash), turned them inside out, hot glued them back together again, and will decorate the outsides (with mod podge, of course!). Punch holes in each side, string ribbon or string through to use as a handle. This idea was from the first issue of the Green Craft magazine, and also from mayamade.blogspot.com. That girl knows how to re-purpose recyclables, lemmee tell ya! Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteThis weekend I made a baby girl outfit for a baby shower, & picked up some picture frames to cover in fabric (with mod podge) and string with ribbons to make hair bow holders. Also, if I can find the time (that is a big if) I plan on making some little boy pants for an expecting friend.
