no rules, just happy crafting
I’m back with just one more peek at a new line coming from the awesome American Crafts. Most of their lines this show were under their other company names (Crate Paper, Pebbles, Etc) – but they also released a fabulous Christmas line I just couldn’t stop peeking at.
I adore the bits & pieces they do with fun themed things. I also am really digging the very traditional Christmas palette mixed with the blue-grey color. Continue reading “CHA: American Crafts Peppermint Express!”
Tim Holtz did not disappoint this show – but then again we always know he’s going to raise the bar and bring the awesome. From loads of new dies to distress glitter to my favorite – STENCILS – there is a lot to love. Last week I posted pics of his idea-ology booth and this week I’m back with more from CHA. These are pics of samples, his offerings at Ranger, etc. Enjoy!
This week at Simon Says Stamp our Monday challenge is all about an ode to sunshine! I decided to make a summer page for my entry.
I had so much fun coloring with dylusions markers, using the stencil, and layering up ink and color for a simple page.

It is no secret that I love Amy Tan’s colorful and fun product lines – and Cut & Paste is no exception. Her newest line continues to expand her product offerings while still staying true to her signature style and being products that can mix & match with her older lines.
This collection contains 22 double-sided patterned papers, two specialty papers, coordinating Thickers, stickers, and two beautifully designed embroidery stencil kits. New favorites include stitched vellum pockets and die-cut, dimensional paper. Add a bit of color with Cut & Paste!
This is the one booth that I got home and went “oh man, I failed!!” because y’all there was a LOT of goodness here and I seemed to miss a lot of it!
