Fabulous Felt May 08

 Felt has been around the craft industry for years but it only started showing up in our scrapbooks about a year and a half ago. Companies such as, KI Memories, Fancy Pants, American Crafts, Creative Imaginations and Queen & Co. are releasing fun cool felt products such as alphabets, flowers, borders and shapes that shoppers just cannot get enough of. This month the Booya Girls have pulled out all the stops with felt.

Kimber used one of my favorite felt products from Fancy Pants. Don’t let the price stop you these sets are packed with tons of shapes and words and come in 3 colors. In this layout Kimber took felt to a new level by embossing the photo frame. Simply run your felt accent through your Cuttlebug loaded with your favorite embossing template. This technique is so easy and takes only seconds.

Are you looking for new ways to adhere felt to your layouts? Try this simple trick from Summer use brads to adhere an accent to your page. Interested in other fun ways to attach felt try staples, eyelets or hand/machine stitching. Also check out Summer’s felt scallop border the original shape was a bit longer so she trimmed it to fit her needs. Don’t forget you can always alter pre-made felt shapes with the snip of your scissors. Also consider topping off felt with buttons or other chipboard accents.

Summer created this cute card from Queen & Co felt ribbon. Cover some scrap paper with felt ribbon then trim into a rectangle just smaller than the card base. Top off your card with a simple greeting.

Shawna takes Layering to a new level. By using different colors and shapes she turns a simple accent into a fabulous fun element. Check out Shawna’s trimmed scalloped border and use of a stick pin. Simple touches like these can take your layouts to the next level.

Chrys’ gorgeous layout uses two types of felt. First she used a simple piece of craft felt in black as if it were patterned paper. Then she topped off her layout with a Queen & Co flourished border. By using a fun stitch from her sewing machine she sewed it in place. Note how she just didn’t use the border in a straight line and cut off several of the leaves using them as accents.

Kim got twice the mileage from her Queen & Co. felt border by trimming it in half.  Kim also created adorable star accents by making a custom stamp from a Fancy Pants star. Simply attach a felt image to a clear block and dab with paint. Stamp on scrap paper once dry cut out the image and adhere to your layout. Note Kim used pop dots to make her accents stand out against the patterned paper.
