Today starts a new week of voting at So You Think You're Crafty. The theme this week is rpurposed crafts. So head on over and vote for yours truly {or whichever you like best}. I can't tell which is mine just know that it's awesome. Haha!
Last weeks theme for the competition was scraps so I dug into my scrap hoard and came up with some
Quilted Stationary!
I really love to sew on paper and fabric gives a quality and texture that even the cutest scrapbook paper paper can't. Before sewing, I secured the fabric to the paper with a gule stick so really this can be a no sew project as well.

Quilt Block Card: This was an extra quilt block that never got used so I stitched it to a square card. For the envelope I attached some of the leftover fabric from the block to the inside. It's complimentary to the card and adds a nice little surprise.
Nautical/Americana: For these I dug into my fabric, notions and paper scrap bins as well as the recycle. The anchor card design is made from a fabric background with a fabric anchor appliqued with gold thread. The flag card is a combination of fabric, red ribbon, white trim and a paper star. The "freedom" card uses a combination of fabric, trim, paper and even uses the red plastic cover that they use to cover the tray of Cuties oranges at the grocery store.
Bright & Bold Birthday: For the balloon cards I used some black and white gingham fabric and attached it to bright cards by playing around with the different fun and decorative stitches on my machine with hot pink thread. I then cut out a stencil in vinyl and painted a neon balloon on each one. For the bunting cards I made teeny tiny flags and attached the tops using a straight stitch and added a birthday greeting.
So there you have it. A fun and useful way to use up those scraps you've been hoarding!
