New Product: Self-Adhesive Cloth

At Canada on Canvas we now have an exiting new product for designers and crafters. It is called removable adhesive cloth and it is unlike anything I have ever seen.

This material has the texture and durability of cloth, but has a self-adhesive backing like a sticker. It can be stuck on most surfaces, and even better, can be removed and re-positioned without loosing it's stickiness. It is also water resistant and very flexible, so it can be used to wrap around corners.

Of course, the best thing about this material is that it is receptive to the Giclee process. It can be run though our fine art printers, so we can print it with any image you can imagine in beautiful full colour. 

Ideas for Designers:

This product can be used in many home decor applications. Many designers have started incorporating vinyl cut decals into room design, and Self adhesive cloth is another easy to apply wall decoration, but with a softer look and more colour. I have designed some lovely wall murals as examples. These repeating patterns can be printed any length and can stretch all or part way around a room.

Ideas For Business

Businesses could also make good use of this easy advertising solution. We have already had an order a full fridge door sticker, with a beautiful full colour image related to the organization’s philosophy. The great thing about this material is that it can be used to turn any surface into an opportunity for delivering a message. 

Ideas for Crafers

There are also many smaller projects that could be done with this material. It could be:

---Placed on the front of a light fixture or lamp shade for a personalized back lit image.

---Made into stickers to hand out in gift bags at events.

---Used for decorations on computers and personal electronics.

But my favourite idea comes from my own love of bookbinding. With this material it would be easy to design and create custom cloth book covers – think the old fashioned Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, but in cloth! With a little measuring and cropping, and some text, any journal, note book, old, beloved hardback, or hand-bound book project can have custom designed cover art! No gluing required! I for one can't wait to try this.

With all these possibilities, I can't wait to see what you come up with!

New! Fine Art Cards

It has been said “T'is better to give than receive”, and judging from our customers, this is certainly true! Or customers love to give gifts, especially personalized gifts. Since we know no gift is complete without a card, We are now offering personalized card sets printed with images and text that you choose.

These card sets are great for sending out family Christmas cards from home or from a business. They can be used as wedding invitations or birth announcements, party invitations or thank – you cards. We always include envelopes, you just add the address!

Personalized cards are great to include with gifts, as it is a little something extra to remind the receiver of you! Because you are using your own image or design, you will never have to agonize over the racks of cards at the store, and your gift will always be unique.

For artists, gift cards are a wonderful way to give your work some exposure. People who love your work will be happy to have a copy of the beautiful images to keep, even if they can't buy the whole painting.
