Inkredible Stamping

Q: I heard that Stampin' Up! is selling fabric now. I love fabric, can you tell me more?

A:  Yes,
Stampin’ Up! has exclusive fabric which coordinates with our great
stamps and accessories! It is being introduced in our Holiday Mini
Catalog 2010. Our customers have been requesting this product for years
and we are thrilled to see it finally arrive. Read on to find out the
scoop about the Stampin’ Up! fabric and great ways to use it.

Fabric Basics
     Stampin’
Up! recently introduced the new line of Designer Fabric that combines
the beauty of Stampin’ Up! exclusive artwork and colors with
high-quality 100% cotton fabric. There are currently two fabric sets
available and each pack contains three coordinating designs. The Deck
the Halls Designer Fabric (#121716)
coordinates with the Vintage Christmas stamps, paper, and accessories
in the Holiday Mini (pgs. 18-21). The Candy Cane Christmas Designer
Fabric (#121715)
coordinates with the huge variety of Candy Cane Christmas products in
the Holiday Mini (pgs. 32-37). Each pack includes three extra-wide fat
quarters. Quilters and fabric lovers will know the value in that. For
those new to fabric, it means that each of the 28” x 18” fabric pieces
are larger than standard size fat quarters you buy in the fabric store,
making them an even better value. Don't forget about the stamping
rewards for shopping and sharing with Stampin’ Up!

Why Fabric?
     Fabric
is great for quilting and many other traditional sewing projects, but
it’s also a hot trend in crafting. One trend is to use the Big Shot
Die-Cutting Machine (#113439)
to die cut the fabric. For quilters, this is such a time-saver because
they can quickly and accurately cut multiple layers of fabric. For
crafters, the Big Shot offers variety for creating projects like
decorated baby onsies, fabric purses, fabric-covered journals, and
coasters with die-cut accents. Because the Big Shot does the detailed
cutting work, crafters of any skill level can create a wide variety of
projects with ease. Fabric also makes great accents and texture on
cards, décor, and scrapbook pages!

The Next Step
     In
addition to fabric, Stampin’ Up! has included a variety of
complementary products to make crafting with fabric even easier for you.
Coordinating products like the beautiful Deck the Halls (#121002) and Candy Cane (#121718) Big Designer Buttons, Bigz XL Tasteful Trim die (#120893), 1/2" Seam Binding (#120992), and the Big Shot Fabric Adhesive (#122194). We offer the tools you need to create a multitude of projects, both traditional and unique, with fabric.

How to Get Started
     Curious?
My customers have been amazed at what they can create with the Designer
Fabrics and coordinating supplies. An instructional Fabric Booklet

Holiday Mini Catalog. It has instructions for making five projects
shown below. This booklet is exclusive to the 2010 Holiday Mini Catalog.
Let’s plan a fabric workshop where you can share this hot trend with
your friends. Whether it’s fashion accessories, cards with fabric, décor
items, or one of many other possibilities, you will be amazed at the
versatility and fun of crafting with fabric. Contact me today and we’ll
