Fabric Paper

If you guys have seen the new stacks from DCWV, you were probably curious about the beautiful adhesive Fabric Paper Stacks. Imagine you had fabric that you added adhesive backing to and then put the sticker backing paper - so its like any adhesive paper but this is just fabric. So cool. Let me tell you what I did with this card. I cut squares of fabric paper, peeled the backing off and attached it to the card. It sticks really well so that would have been fine, but I wanted the quilted look and you know I have to stitch on everything. LOL! For the flowers, I wanted to cut them with my Cricut so I cut pieces of fabric and attached them to scraps of white cardstock first. Then I cut the flowers just like normal in the Cricut and they cut beautifully and the best part is that I could make a dimensional flower because the cardstock added stability to the soft fabric. My mom gave me some beautiful doilies this past weekend so when I added one to a card, I had to make it for her. Anyway, you guys are going to have to see this fabric in person because its really quite nice and can you imagine a whole layout with a quilted background like this!

Love it! I imagine the adhesive backing makes putting this together and sewing so easy!

I meant to ask you if you got any of this! I saw the DCWV youtube and was really confused if it was actual fabric or paper printed with a fabric pattern.

That card is lovely! :)

WOW, is all I have to say, now the really big question is can I make a quilt and is it washable...lol How much easier would that be than pinning. Gorgeous card Susan.
