The Craft & Hobby Trade show was a month ago and I'm still trying to go through all the things I brought home with me. One of my favorite items was this molded craft tray box from Creative Options. I filled it with all sorts of goodies and stuck it in my suitcase to bring home. It is the same style of box as the infamous Caboodle from our past. They just introduced this new color palette with avocado and eggplant. I think they are calling the new palette "Vineyard". The colors... more » -
Punched paper flowers were all around at CHA Winter this year. Almost every paper, punch, and scrapbooking booth had some on display. The flowers shown in the picture above were made using Punch Bunch paper punches. I love all the detail you can get in a flower using just a few different paper punches. This last picture reminded me of the hanging bouquet I made for my daughter. I may need to do another one using paper flowers! It would certainly be less expensive. ... more » -
I went to the Fiskars booth to get a quick run through on what's new and great from the company. They have some really fun new things (punches, scissors, and trimmers, oh my!). The thing that really caught my eye and become a "MUST HAVE" is this portable paper trimmer. Kelly Jo, one of the lead Fiskateers, gave me a quick demo. Some of my favorite features? How about the fact that the base is large enough to fit whole card? Cut line indicator? Awesome. ... more » -
When people ask me what products got me excited at CHA, I always mention the button and shape studio from Epiphany Crafts. It's difficult to tell what it does by looking at the contraption so I had them do a quick video demo on the product. I think you'll like it! ... more » -
I've given you a few sneak peaks of the projects I completed for the Dinotalk booth at CHA. Now it's time to reveal all. I altered a total of four products. All of the products come "naked". They are blank canvases ready for embellishment. Each product also has a recordable device so you can put your own audio message inside. I think my favorite one was the frame. I love how it turned out. I might be a little swayed by the fact that I used an actual picture of my family inside.... more » -
One of the big announcements at CHA this winter was the Cricut Cake. It will be in stores on May 1st but we've had the chance to get a sneak peak at it here at the show. Tonight I went to the launch party and it. was. awesome. We heard from the president of the company and he spoke about how they are looking to move into different areas and this new Cricut is just the beginning. He mentioned that there are FIVE different applications of the Cricut that they are working on at the moment.... more » -
Here's another peak at one of the products I made for the Dinotalk booth at the CHA trade show. The trade show portion begins today and my samples will be on display for all to see. I will be heading over there first thing to check out their booth and snap some pictures. Today is the day where I will be running around like a crazy woman trying to report on all the cool new things that will be coming to a craft store near you. I've also got an interview set up with Kathy Ireland this... more » -
[caption id="attachment_2769" align="aligncenter" width="614" caption="Simone, Christy, and Sarah"][/caption] We're spending the weekend at the Supershow and we worked the CraftyCon booth in the Craft Critique sponsored Handmade Pavilion. Phew. That was a mouthful. In retrospect, we should have taken these pictures at the beginning of the day, not the end. We are all running on very little sleep and the switch to the west coast time isn't helping. [caption id="attachment_2767" alig... more » -
I'm leaving today for the Craft & Hobby Association Trade Show. For the SuperShow consumer portion, I'll be working with Craft Critique and tomorrow morning we'll announce our big, big news. For the trade show portion, I'll be reporting here on all the great new products, trends, and people I meet. I also have a bit of news to share. Remember the review I did for Dinotalk and their recordable gift card holder? Well, they asked me to be one of three featured artists for their bo... more » -
