Step-By-Step guide to Flocking

If you are anything like me, you love adding things to your scrapbooking pages, cards or other papercraft projects that really adds some dimension and texture – things that entice the viewer to want to touch!

I just love those pattern papers that come with the flocking (or velvet) finish to them . . . don’t they just make you want to reach out and run your hands over the paper?

What if I told you that you could replicate the same feel at home on your own chipboard letters, stickers, frames, pattern papers, grungeboard and so the list goes on!

It's so very easy with Plaid’s ‘Soft Flock’ Fibre Kit - I've used it on the Heidi Swapp letters on my 'Childhood Memories' Board Book (above) AND Sharon has applied it to the scrolls on her 'Graduation Mini Album (at left) and even distressed them too!

Why not check out our 'Step-By-Step guide to Flocking' to see how really easy it is work with?

January Scrappitpack - 'Floral Delight'

We thought we would share a couple of ideas that both Kylie & Shirley have created using elements of our 'Floral Delight' Scrappitpack that is on sale NOW!

Don't you just love the boldness of this pack - it is so very eye-catching isn't it?
Kylie decided to make a 2008 Album that is designed to hold CDs of photos from the upcoming year. Now that's being organised isn't it? Well done Kylie!

Now Shirley took a similar approach when deciding how to use this pack by taking her project off-the-page to create this gorgeous circle journal with some extra blossoms thrown in for good measure!

As you can see - Kylie & Shirley have come up with two completely different projects but our 'Floral Delight' Scrappitpack has been used just perfectly with each one!

Why not invest in this pack yourself and see what you can create . . . just click here to see our current Scrappitpack range!
