Stampin on a scrapbook
I hope this isn't one of those things that everybody already knows and it's just new to me...
I have a fabric-covered scrapbook (not SU) that arrived with a couple smudges on the cover. The company replaced it and told me to keep the old one. Instead of throwing it away, I thought I'd experiment. Took some of my new craft pads out and stamped flowers and butterflies on the front and back covers, strategically placed to cover up the smudges! And man is it cute!! One trick I learned is to leave the stamp on the cover for a few seconds before removing to give more time for the ink to soak into the fabric.
I think I'll even stamp on the spine to identify the album - summer 2005, for example. Fun, fun, fun!

I could not even see where there could have been any smudges.. good job, and thanks for the tip on getting a better image by letting the stamp sit longer.

I'm sure it won't show in the picture even if you look really carefully, but let's just say that the butterfly in the bottom left-hand corner is NOT there by accident! LOL!! |

Did you use just the regular dye-based inks, or Fabrico inks??? I am HOPING just the classic ones! How cute is that album???? Good Job!

I would think that the craft pads or staz on would work best, just in the chance that one drop of rain (or other wet things) get on it, once it smudges, It wont come off I don't think!
But - when I get a fabric album.. guess what I'm doing? LOL!!
Thanks for sharing!!

Classic would fade quickly; and bleed if ever moist/wet. I would not advise it.
I would stick with Craft for such surfaces, for longevity/permanence. Staz-On has been known to "bleed" out on *some* fabric surfaces, i.e. ribbon, but you could test it on a scrap before committing to your final project? __________________ Julie Ebersole (JulieHRR once upon a time . . . ) julieebersole.com "So shines a good deed in a weary world." -Willy Wonka

It's terrific, thanks so much for sharing it! I have been collecting craft pads over the last year but not using them much. You have inspired me to get them out and play with them some more, thanks a lot! |

Staz-On specifically states that it is not for use on fabrics.

stamped album
Adorable!! Since you know it will be handled and since it's fabric wouldn't a coat of scotch guard fabric protector help keep it neat??? Just a thought.

That's an interesting thought...
Since I'm just getting into scrapbooking, I don't have much experience with how well the fabric-covered books hold up to all the handling. Always wondered whether the light-colored ones would look dirty after a short while!

Did you notice the scrapbook on the bottom of page 204 of the new catty? I thought for a minute that it was a new style - with a cutout window in the middle of the cover. Then I realized it was just stamped! In the back of the catty it says they used craft ink on it. It is really nice!

How funny that you mentioned this...I was looking at the catalog (again!) yesterday and saw that album with the "cut out." I thought to myself, "how in the world did they cut a square out of the cover?"
I wonder what kind of adhesive they used...

Album
They probably used the tacky tape to adhear the cut out to the album. Scotch guarding the album after it is stamped (and set aside to dry for a while) is the way to go. I have a linen album that has smudges on it from handling too much. My next linen album was scotched guarded and saved the cover. I plan to order one of the new 3-ring albums for my grand daughter's pictures and stamp on it as well as scotch guarding.
Neat idea.
