Hi, my name is Andi and I’m a fabri-holic……I have boxes and cupboards filled with yard goods and scraps that I’ve been collecting for years. Some of that fabric has actually been sewn into costumes for my boys or dresses for me, but a lot of it is simply eye candy for that “someday” when I have the time to sew again! If this sounds at all familiar, and if you’ve been known to sneak in the back door with a bag from your local fabric store, perhaps this article will help you find an outlet for your addiction. Fabric is a wonderful medium for your artwork, and fabric-covered surfaces take beautifully to stamps and ink. The projects you’ll see here include home décor and gift items that are simple to make but look as if you took hours to create.
What do you think of when you’re trying to set a romantic mood? Soft lights or candles often come to mind when I’m trying to create an ambience of romance. The lamp above was made with an electric candle and a purchased muslin shade. Decorate a lamp with a Valentine’s Day theme, using heart fringe and a hugs and kisses stamp on the shade. The nice thing about this project is that a new shade can bring out a whole new theme. 
Crafting trends prove that rubber stamps can be used for more than just greeting cards. If you enjoy working with dried flowers, try to make this wreath with a matching ribbon. In this case, Clearsnap's Rollagraph® Roller Stamping System and a wheel that stamps roses was used to unify the design. This is a quick and easy way to customize ribbon to match any project theme! Rollagraph® wheels come in many designs and sizes. The jumbo wheels would work well on the ends of tiered curtains -- let your imagination and home décor be your guides! 
A beautiful package makes the gift seem so much more thoughtful—and exciting. When ribbon and wrapping paper are in short supply, a cloth gift bag comes in handy. Simply tied with a coordinating ribbon or a bit of raffia, these little bags look lovely and classy. The party favor bag that you see here has a theme suitable for a baby shower. Filled with wrapped candies or small remembrances, it adds a bit of handmade charm to a party table’s presentation. 
his cloth bookmark addresses two of the things in life that many stampers simply cannot do without: coffee and reading. Handmade bookmarks are normally made from cardboard or paper; this one is soft, and if it ends up falling on your face when you fall asleep, it won’t leave an ugly ridge across your cheek. Customize a fabric bookmark with rubber stamps for a friend.The edges were left to fray naturally. Enclose a new novel with it for a terrific Valentine’s Day gift!
