The paper pictured above is from Anna Griffin and it is flocked.  Flocking is the process of applying small fibers onto a surface.  Flocking has been around for a long time.  On my trip to Europe this summer I even saw some old wallpaper that had been flocked.  It was gorgeous!  Using this technique on scrapbook embellishments isn’t new but I did see a lot more of it this summer than in the past.

This paper, from Little Yellow Bicycle, isn’t a traditional lace but fits the trend.  Most of their lines included some lacy cut-out frames, paper, and embellishments. This is from their Christmas Delight line.

One of my favorite things from CHA was seeing the flocked heat transfer rolls from Silhouette.   You can cut out your designs (using a Silhouette machine, other personal cutting machine, or even by hand) and then they are ready to iron-on.  I definitely want to try some of that out!

Are incorporating flocking and/or lace into your own crafts?  Would you?
