Nichole says: "The new fabric paper is one of my favorites from the new release. I love the designs & how it easy it is to cut & that it's self adhesive! I thought it would be fun to cut it into "pieces" to create the little birdie...& it was! I made a template on some scrap cardstock, then traced onto the fabric paper & cut it out. Easy, easy & so much fun!"

I love the cute little bird and the fabric wings - fantastic! And here's Design Team member Melanie with two great ones...

Melanie says: The Dear Lizzy fabric paper is SO cool. The patterns are gorgeous and versatile, and I like the bit of dimension it gives. I have a ton of projects on my ‘to-do’ list with these. I envision it covering journals, using it as book binding cloth, and punching it out into all kinds of shapes to use as embellishments, which is what I did here with my 2 cards. I used an Accu-cut machine to cut mine out (the bracket border on the ‘Spring’ card, and the flower on the ‘Lovely’ card) but these would work with any die-cutting machine such as a BigShot or a Cuttlebug, and if you have a lot of dies, then you need these! The fabric paper cuts like butter,and peels away easily for you to stick onto any project. The possibilities are endless - try it, you’ll love it!"

Mel's cards look adorable and I love the tip on trying out the fabric paper with a die cut machine. Think of all the cool shapes you could make!
