Hello! I am finally recovering from the time change from attending CHA earlier this week. CA is a lot farther of a flight from PA than it was from Texas and it hit me harder than usual. I just downloaded some of the product pictures I took and thought I would share some of my favorite products that will be coming to stores very soon!
First up---this
Scissor Mouse by
Westcott. This is really cool. There is a blade underneath and you run it along your paper just like a computer mouse. It runs smoothly and the best part---you don't have to put it on a mat...there is a protector underneath that protects the surface so you can cut anywhere:
new release includes these crystal clear border stickers-
We've Got Your Border-- that you can add to anything---cards, scrapbook pages, the Tubes, ribbon etc! Fun to be able to create your own patterns:
I love these 3d pieces from Studio 490 (
Ranger). You can stamp them with coordinating stamps, add patterned paper and/or ink:
Paper Smooches (Kim Hughes) released new stamps for CHA that will be available in March. The collection features wonderful backgrounds and some more adorable hand drawn images that we all know and love:
October Afternoon had a big display of their
Sprinkler sprays in so many colors that coordinate with their papers and I really liked the new collection called 9 to 5:
Little Yellow Bicycle always has fun papers and embellishments and I was excited to see what was new with them.
The Escape (June release) features these papers and embellishments. Cute!
And this is
Splash (May Release)....soo cute. Love those fish and the circle paper:
Jillibean Soup stands out to me because they have their own style, never confused with another brand. I love the little
Cool Bean Buttons:
They have some great paper lines coming out too---this one is called
Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup! (I love how they name their lines!)
Echo Park Paper has several lines being released and they have some smaller collections being released with the thought that those collections are needed but you might not need a whole collection. The themes of these range from 4th of July to sports. Very cool.
They also have some full releases coming out and here are two of my favorites--
Note to Self:
This & That:
Clever Handmade is a new paper company by Heidi Grace that features paper but also other products that enable you to go beyond the typical paper projects...definitely clever stuff!
Here is a look at the Decorative Iron ons:
And this is one of my favorite lines called
Above the Clouds: (VERY cute but hard to photograph with the lighting)
Finally,
Nikki Sivils has some really cute lines---
I loved these---
Audrey and
Exit Here:
There was so much to see and look at that I am sure I missed a lot of great things. I was really interested in checking out the new paper lines and products that were new and unique. One other product I really liked but failed to get a picture of was by
Imaginisce--the ribbon cutter. It cuts and seals the ribbon in one step.
Very cool!
CHA was so much fun but now I can't wait to get my hands on all the new stuff!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
I used a plain chipboard shoe to help design a template for this card. I decided that I also wanted to make a strap for the shoe so that I could hang a sentiment. Once I figured out how I wanted the shoe to look, I covered most of the front of the shoe with designer paper, sanding the edges and leaving an edge of white to help make it more look realistic. I cut a thin strip (strap) from the same paper and adhered it to the shoe card, adding a pearl accent where it attached to the front.
