Fabric, Crafty Business Cards

Do you ever have a need to hand out business cards?

Sure you do!

When you go to

The Market

Play Dates

Craft Stores

Bloggy Boot Camp

or other Blog Conferences

Someone is going to ask "what do you do"?

Now you will have a crafty business card to whip out

and proudly say I am a BLOGGER.

This will make you sound and look like a real business.

Melissa over at MOMCOMM has a wonderful post on

What to Put on a Blog Business Card

I wish we knew about Melissa before we made our cards.

(next go round we will have everything correct)

How did we make our Fabric Business Cards?

We designed our business cards to look like our blog.

Printed them out on our home printer.

Now comes the fun part.

Choosing fabric

We have a fabulous stash of fabric.

In our other life we make pillowcases for

ConKerr Cancer

These are the fabrics we chose for our cards.

Must say perfect color match!

Iron fabric

we used our handy dandy

TV Tray Ironing Board

Lay out the fabric right side down.

Spread glue onto the center back of a business card.

Make sure not to get the glue along the edges.

Sewing over glue is not a great idea.

Cut around business cards with pinking shears.

This will help fabric from ripping.

Now you get to show off you sewing skills.

You do not have to be a pro at sewing.

This would be a great project for a beginner.

Choose a thread with contrast.

Sew around the card making sure not to get too close to the edges.

Trim left over thread.

TA-DA you are now official,

so be proud to hand out your

Business Cards.

Every woman should have 4 pets in her life.

A mink in her closet,

A jaguar in her garage,

A tiger in her bed,

and A jackass who pays for everything.
