hey there bloggers! things have definitely been insane around the studio with last minute samples to be made, workshop kits to be finished, and 350+ make & take kits to assemble (all since we've been home this week). well today is the final day for previews for my cha releases – whew… can't believe there's been almost 2 weeks of previews – so much new stuff coming out i know. the best part is some of the new releases like my ranger and stampers anonymous products are shipping now! everything else i've been sharing is shipping in august and september for idea-ology and sizzix alterations in plenty of time for the holiday season. the best part of it all is that i feel that most crafters use their stash around the holidays more than any other time so that's a good thing right? speaking of holidays, today's preview shares a few more but since these particular holidays don't roll around again until next year, this release won't be shipping until december. thanks again for sharing in the fun and excitement of another product preview. it's such a rewarding feeling reading all of your comments and kind words – as always thanks for sharing the journey. for now it's crunch time since we head for chicago tomorrow to start setting up for the 2011 cha-summer trade show. i'll be posting all of the great projects and samples made using these new products as well as a few videos so stay tuned to the blog…t!m
more bigz: you know these are my favorite types of dies and i just had to release some for the holidays that fall in the early part of the year too. love struck shows the classic iconic cupid and a stylish heart just perfect for decorating or sharing the love on your next project. easter elements is so much fun with the chocolate bunny complete with bow, and a larger butterfly to adorn any springtime project. old glory, what can i say – this one is so cool. i wanted to design a very stylish american flag die and i think this one fit that bill. complete with a star border, i'm sure this die will be used throughout the year by many who support our troops…
more mini movers & shapers: just like their larger counterparts these mini love struck, bunny with bow, and old glory bring such flair with their size and versatility. also in this launch is a mini tattered florals! woo hoo! influenced by the larger tattered floral, this mini is perfect to use along with it or for those projects that need a little flower of their own. whoever said good things come in small packages definitely must have had these in mind too…
on the edge: i have a feeling this is going to be another favorite. the fluttering butterfly edge is such a great design to use on springtime projects as well as wedding, outdoor, baby, or shabby vintage projects. i'm sure there will be endless uses for this one…
more texture fades: just like the other seasonal word backgrounds and border texture fades, i simply had to do sets for valentines and americana too. i also added a springtime set, but went with a more floral design scheme for that one. i definitely think these round out this seasonal collection don't you?…
