Sneak Peek: Paper and Fabric

Everyone looks forward to new Idea Books, but I think the product they're most looking forward to seeing are the new papers. Well, here's a little teaser for some of the new papers packs!

Chantilly is a beautiful collection of papers featuring a bold floral with adorable birds. The colours are perfect for spring--whether you're making Easter cards or pages about outdoor playtime. The patterns have a sense of whimsy, but the geometric designs also add sophistication.

In addition to the Chantilly paper packet and coordinating Dimensional Elements, Close To My Heart is offering two more coordinating products for this paper line: fabric badge buttons and textiles.

The Chantilly Assortment includes nine adhesive backed badge buttons with rhinestone accents. The whimsical designs include flowers, birds and spots. These buttons are gorgeous!

The For Always collection is perfect for commemorating those special black tie affairs, such as weddings and anniversaries, but the trendy, bold patterns also make this an excellent all-round paper for every day themes. Paired with bold colours, such as Ruby and Lagoon, the black and white For Always papers make a big statement.

For Always also has an embellishment collection: the For Always Assortment. Included are four Honey flower pins, two adhesive-backed resin Ruby flowers and four smaller adhesive backed flowers in Lagoon. This assortment is perfect for adding a special touch to pages and cards.

Both Chantilly and For Always patterns are also available in fabric: Chantilly Textiles and For Always Textiles. Both products come with three sheets of cotton fabric with pinked edges, measuring 14" x 24". Chantilly Textiles come in yellow, green and pink patterns. For Always Textiles are black and white with beautiful damask, polka dot and script patterns.

There are so many options for using these fabrics--tear them into ribbon strips, make ruffles and flowers, wrap them around 3D items....You may need more than one pack!
