Fabric Front Cards: Stamping Authentic Ikat

Ikat is my new fave. In another life, I would own a wardrobe of ikat caftans and wear them around my estate. In real like, I make ikat cards with fabric…sort of like a caftan. But not really.

Making fabric front cards is uber-duber simple. I tried several techniques and finally settled on this one.  I tried using iron-on, double-sided fusible interfacing; it didn’t adhere well at all.  I tried brushing glue onto the card front, then adhering the fabric. Way too messy. I’m still peeling glue off my craft desk from that one. Finally I came up with this….

{1} Medium-weight fabric cut slightly larger than an A2 card.

{2} Non-stick scissors

{3} A2 card bases in the same color as the fabric choice.

{4} 1″ Simple Adhesive

{5} Craft Glue (e.g. Aleen’s Tacky Glue)

{6} Clear & Simple Stamps Hybrid InkWhat-You-Do-Ikat-Cards

{1} Apply Simple Adhesive to the front of the card, keeping each strip snuggly next to the one placed before. This will create a solid layer of adhesive on the card front.

{2} Use the non-stick scissors to cut away the excess adhesive from the edges.

{3} Remove adhesive backing and place card front onto the fabric.

{4} Trim away the excess fabric from the card front then apply a thin strip of glue along each edge and smooth with your finger. This will secure the edges and prevent any frayed edges or unraveling of the fabric.

{5} In the end, you’ll have blank fabric canvases on the front of your cards. You can stamp these with Hybrid Ink in any pattern you want.

TIP: Once you stamped on the fabric, gently wave a heat gun across your stamped pattern to set the ink. This will prevent smearing.

With my blank fabric card cavases, I decided to stamp some ikat patterns in bold tones. To get a more authentic-looking ikat, I find that swiping the stamp on the inkpad, adds some texture to the pattern that appears more ikat-y. That’s a word, ya know.
