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.
