Feathers have been popping up around not just in the fashion and home decor world, but also in scrapbooking. And, not just bird feathers, but peacock 
feathers as well. I also believe that we are going to see more of bows popping up in scrapbook layouts in the near future. Now, I don’t mean how we’ve traditionally been seeing bows – ribbons tied into a bow, but in a new and different way. They are everywhere in fashion and could be easily translated into a scrapbooking project for a cute girly look.

Here are some comments from Angela Daniels:
"My prediction, based mostly on the super cute new 8 x 8 acrylic stamps from Fiskars called "Plumage" (shown at left) is that we’re going to see more and more peacock designs. I 
also noticed that BasicGrey also had a few peacock inspired designs in their new "Marrakech" line. (See photo at right.) My theory? -maybe it all started with the new Housewife (of Orange County TV fame) who wore the peacock feathered lingerie on a episode this season? I love it when two of my hobbies cross paths. In this case, tacky TV inspiring crafting? It’s just too good."
Danielle Thompson’s, Kitschy Details digital shop, has several different feather images available for scrapbookers. You can use them in digital scrapbooking or even print them and cut out for traditional or hybrid scrapbooking projects. (Photos below by Danielle Thompson and posted with permission.) Look for more project examples on Danielle’s Kitschy Details blog.
Photo at left shows 
a layout done by Rita Weiss. Rita uses feathers as a backdrop to her photo giving it a soft look.
Check out all the hair bows in Elsie Flannigan’s Red Velvet Art shop. Elsie has also been including hair bows in a lot of her ‘girl’ paintings.
Sian Young made this 
layout at right which is embellished with both a bow and feather.

They may not be new but I would love to use some Flash Cards.
I love the bows and I think working with feathers and plume designs sounds like fun!
Great stamp set. I would like to start using more doodling on my layouts.
OMG this stamp set is wonderful, I’m doing more vintage style pages and the features and plumage would give them some extra “pop”!
I would like to try out digital scrapbooking and use it in combination with traditional scrapbooking products.
Those stamps are awesome. I hadn’t thought of using feathers, but why not? They do look awesome and would really soften some layouts or mini books.
i love the hair bow trend!!it is just so girly!—yet i can see how the bows in darker colors can translate well into a boy/man scrapbook layout also!! and omg! how cute are those fiskars plumage stamps!..i am just too excited about these new trends! jen t.
i would love to see things about kitchen and cooking…
I love the look of feathers on layouts – I would so enjoy using this stamp set on my projects!
Since I was a little girl, I have loved Peacocks – they are so exotic! I would love to try these stamps with some watercolors or maybe embossing on some of my cards and granddaughter layouts.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love that doodling is still a strong trend and I am hoping to get more artsy with that in my layouts. Feathers are looking pretty cool too!!
Feathers!! They have always garnered my attention – much more than bows or ribbon. Perhaps because they make such a grand statement or manybe because they are natural elements just as we are that they are so attractive.
Feathers and boas are always welcome in my craft room and I look for any excuse to use them. I had once made a great little coozie that had a pink feather boa around the top of it; a fashionable way to sip a Tab, don’t ya think?
Feathers (and peacocks) get my vote.
M…
I love the feathers, so my vote is on that…
Doodling, painted areas, and 3-D features like feathers and scrunched bits of fabric are currently fun for me.
I’d love to start using some more woodland creatures on my layouts.
Great stamp set.. I am with the doodling thing and feathers are a new one for me also…
I love using beaded embellishments or just beads. I think feathers are great too.
Love the whole feather idea! I must start experimenting, and that lovely stamp set would be just the thing to get me started!
I love the new emphasis on kraft paper backgrounds – ultra hip!
Was directed this way from Angela Daniels’ blog- would love to win a prize.. the feathers are a great idea..
I love that feathers are coming into scrapbooking. It’s so different than what we have been seeing.
OOOO that Basic Grey line that is coming out is great! I’m beyond excited for it!
It may not be new but I love using/seeing vintage lace, and I see it on a lot of layouts these days.
I want to use ribbons and feathers and plume designs.
Feathers and plumes are so cool! Could be used in so many ways.
Feathers and plumes are so cool! Could be used in so many ways…
My favorite trend is the recycle/reuse trend. I think it is the first smart step being taken in the industry in a long time.
I’d like seashells — there are some smaller, flatter type shells that are beautiful. Along with the shells, some “fake” seaweed would be great – just small tendrils
I like all the bug lines that i have been seeing weather it boyish or girlish.
I love using feathers in my home decor-they would look great on a layout!
I love anything to do with peacocks. Those stamps are awesome.
I have always loved peacock feathers, I added some to DD’s prom dress wrap last year, and gasp…have NOT been able to find peacock themed paper that I like to be able to scrap the photo’s
now I can do my own with this stamp set! I can’t wait to get this one.
I love the idea of including feathers so would give them my vote
Feathers sound like a lot of fun!! Mary
I really want to try and start doing my pages with more handmade embellishments. I bought some crochet hooks yesterday, and plan on making some crocheted flowers. I also learned how to make lollipop flowers. I bought some felt so I can blend the two trends. This stamp set is awesome. I really love that the peacock is goint to be a trend setter this year. They are beautiful majestic creatures, and can you imagine the colors that you could use with these. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
the feathers can give a wonderful added touch to all the vintage layouts and albums. a feather is a great way to put a smile on someone’s face and that is what it is all about……….
and bows – - – - can never have too many bows, ribbons and now feathers too!!!!
Finally, feathers…peacock feathers!!!!! I’m also intrigued by the spirograph trend. Thanks for the chance to win a stamp set I’ve been wanting for years!!
I would love to use recycled items or better yet – repurposed items!
oooh, the feathers look fantastic, I’ll definitely be trying them out on some layouts!
I love the recycling trend. I’ve been doing it for years.
The trend I would like to follow is…just doing more scrapbooking! I did notice lots of purple at CHA and often used with green. New trend?
Lovin this peacock and the feathers. I just love this trend. Thanks for a chance.
Love the feathers!! I want to reuse and recycle old materials!!
I would love to use zebra print on a page, I have seen lots of purses in zebra print.
I would so love to be able to have more of the “white” space on my layouts. It seems that I am constantly filling every nook and cranny with tons of schtuff….
lovely!:)i hope i win!
I love the feathers esp. the peacock. And those Fiskars stamps are just perfect!
It’s not really new but I wanna get into more bling. Love the Say It in Crystals products from Prima!
What a great idea. I just had a “why didn’t I think of that” moment. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to trying something new.
I’ve always been a feather fan. I used to wear the feather earings and feathers in my hair back in the day. What a great accent these feather stamps would make for my older ‘me’ photos!
I would like to use more stamping
I love the retro flower loomed flowers that I saw on Danielle Thompson’s blog. Handmade embellishments can really make a layout!
stained patterned paper! vintage buttons.
I actually have a LO with a feather as the design focal point. I love it!
Wow! This is gorgeous! I never thought of feathers! I can’t think up of a new trend… Hmmm…
I love those stamps! What I think would be great is some more emphasis on “boys”, but keeping it fun. I would love to see Bling is a masculine way, or ribbons & lace in darker, male colour schemes.
Feathers look so much fun to use, haven’t tried it yet
I would love to see more dimension to projects, 3d effects, the bulkier the better!
I love the idea for feathers, I have not seen that before. I think I will have to get some and try using feathers in my layouts.
Love the look of feathers. I’m not sure if thats me but I’ll try anything once. I’m still playing with the old trends and don’t tend to follow trends. I go with what I like or what catches my eye. Thanks for the chance to win.
I think feathers might be interesting to try out. I love the hair bows idea!
Love the feathers. I would like to see more for boys and men. My guys also referee and there is nothing out there.
I love textures on a layout. Feathers are a great new texture. I also would like to use felt and material.
Using feathers sounds very interesting! I would like to give it a try… Thanks for the opportunity to win such a nice set.
As much as I keep telling myself I’ve got to use up what I’ve got, I’m always give in to temptation every time something new comes out!
The feathers are such fun! Love the texture & the colors. Thanks for the chance at the stamp giveaway…a great set!
I love the peacock feathers! I am really glad they are being marketed!!
interesting new trend
Not a new trend but I would like to use more ribbon and paint on my LO’s.
I’m n ot sure if it’s a nationwide trend, but I am really loving houndstooth right now. In all colors, black/white, pink/white, all of it!
I love the feather idea. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to have an opportunity to use these wonderful designs in my art!
I think I’d be interested in using feathers. I can use them on masculine and feminine layouts
Bows and ribbon are always fab-feathers are such a great way to add texture! What a great idea!
Can’t go wrong with feathers, love the stamp set!!
awesome! I was hoping someone would bring some peacock inspired product onto the market! I would also love to see more crocheted embellies/lace type I love the texture that it brings
The feathers are a great idea!
Love the stamp set.
Thanks for this great giveaway.

What a FABULOUS stamp set!
I am enjoying seeing vintage style papers, the roughed up paper flowers, so I guess I’m all about shabby chic lately!!! LOL
I’ve use feathers on some of my LO’s but mostly for the chipboard shaped birds. Adds more demension to the bird with feathered wings. So I’m excited to see more feathers. I’ll have to do some feather shopping soon…. Love the stamps and I haven’t tried peacock feathers yet.
Hugs,

I Scrap So All Moments Are Remembered!!
What a great stamp set. My dd (fashion designer) was just commenting to me that she wants to source some peacock feathers for some headpieces she has envisioned. Fashion and scrapbooking cross paths again. And, as such, I would like to see more fabric being used in the scrapbooking industry.
Great stamp set!
I like the idea of more India inspired designs. Thier traditonal art is very calming and inspiring at the same time.
Wendy
Looks really cool.
I love that stamp set… Please….
Wow, feathers! This country girl loves them & they’re fancy enough for those city girls too!
Lagene
the feathers and boas trend looks fab – I’m just thinking what oomph that will give to a layout – WOW!
verry fun stamp set, and i love the colors that go along with peacock feathers, i’d like that trend.
I have always LOVED peacock feathers, probably influenced by my travels to India at a young age. I ADORE the new stamps. the possibilities for using these are endless!
I love using fabric and ribbon for a bit of a vintage look!
I would love rainbows and sunrays… with clouds, rain and snow. Then, when I had weather related layouts or cards, I would have the perfect stamps to use. These feather stamps are gorgeous!
Wow, those feathers are sooo cool! I have been slowly adding a new item into my scrapbooking…..nature materials. For example, leaves, pieces of pinecones, etc.
Feathers would be pretty cool!!
the feathers are cool !
I love peacocks!
I would like peacocks in chipboard. Wouldn’t that be fun to alter?
This is the stamp set I have been so waiting for! I see peacocks from time to time near where I live & I have often thought how lovely it would be to have a stamp image to use for my cards & scrapbooking projects. If I am picked I will certainly put this set to very good use!
Love this stamp set. I never would have thought of using feathers in a layout. What will they think of next.
I love the trend of using some orange. It’s not just for Halloween!
Great feather stamps, thanks for offering the giveaway! It’s not new, but I love the “wood grain” look, and I also love the look of the vintage silhouettes! Thanks!
That’s a gorgeous stamp set – I love feathers!! I really like vintage and these would be a really nice addition to a vintage card!
Love, love the feather stamps!
This stamp set looks awesome with lots of possiblities!
Awesome stamp set. I love birds and raise them. What creativity could come from this stamp set.
I hve had a real peacock feather that we got from a peacock at a petting zoo. I have wanted to scrapbook it, but I was not sure how. I think it may become a little easier now!!
I’m still smitten with hand drawn details and collect pens of every kind! Every time I find a set with a property (sparkles, gloss finishes, opaque…etc.) I just can’t resist picking it up! Plus that add so much interest to my journaling!
Wow I am so excited to see these feathers being used. I have a Red Hat group and our name is Peacock Feather Red Hatters. We do have a scrapbook of our outings and these stamps would be great. My mind is racing with ideas of things we could do with them.
I think using more lace would be fun.
I hope i hear from you that i won!! I stumbled across this site, thats why i’m entering for the contest.And i been useing and buying Fiskkars products for years..
I’m new to Scrap Booking and boy its so amazing, i’am so hooked. Love all the products that offered for our world of Scrap Booking..
I would love to be able to get into digi scrappin. I just haven’t been brave enough yet.
What a gorgeous set! I’d love to see more recycled materials used such as packaging, newspapers etc..
I have a fascination with peacocks so I’m digging anything peacock related.
I am also still hugely addicted to woodgrain anything!
Oh I just love those stamps…Peacock Feathers…definitely something to add alittle flair to my pages
Wouldn’t that stamp set make some awesome backgrounds?!
I didn’t know bows were becoming a trend…? But I love bows! And I love cupcakes! I need to start incorporating those. And even when I don’t think I like a new trend, it eventually grows on me. I love chandeliers, but I don’t think I’ll ever use those in my LOs.
Such a gorgeous set. I have used real feathers in LO’s before, but I would love to own a stamp set of feathers. This would be a great way to embellish everything.
I would love to start using more ribbon and fibers on my layouts. I love the look!
What a gorgeous stamp set!! Would love to win!
What a great stamp set. I think using it with some really soft, fluffy fibers would look nice.
I am all about bling and ribbon, more specific. . . grosgrain and velvet ribbon.
I think that feathers would be great on a layout. I heard that the spring fashion will be safari, jungle outfits perhaps this will translate onto paper too?
This stamp set is great! I would use it on girly pages : )
Love the feathers! I have a perfect pic of my little one all dressed up with a boa and these stamps would go great on that layout!
I like the feather trend, I am excited to try it possibly as wings
I like all the “green” trends I’m seeing. I intend to use more recycled materials in my projects.
I have loved these stamps ever since I saw them in Fiskars sneak peeks.
I love birds and hope they are here to stay.
I love silhouettes, which have been new, then old, now new again. And I think I’ll really like using feathers.
Great stamp set! I would like to add more doodling and felt to my layouts!
Big fan of recycling here. Would so love to own these stamps.
Mary
I LOVE so many of the trends: feathers, silhouettes, birdcages, chandeliers, swirls. Not all at the same time, but at least 2 or 3
Nerissa
Super set would love this set
Loving the Plumage stamps!!!
I’m loving the feathers and bows trend! Fun one! The apples are great too.
I love all of the apples I have been seeing.
