  • New Designer Fabric Line from Stampin' Up! Q&A

    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
    is included in every package of Designer Fabric purchased from the 2010
    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
    make sure you can get your hands on the fabric, plus you’ll have the
    chance to earn fantastic hostess benefits!
