Two Boxes
After a long afternoon, I was happily surprised by the items that arrived at my door today. I received two boxes; one from Crate Paper and another from Sassafras. Upon opening the boxes, I was greeted by scrumptious new papers and embellishments. I thought it might be kind of fun to share them with you guys. Both are releasing fantastic new product lines:
I'm so glad they continued with the die-cut edges on their pattern papers. I like having the extra benefit of a border + pattern paper.
The mix of pattern and "vintage labels" on this sheet of paper is something I'm really into right now. I like pattern papers that include combined images and large spaces for collage work. I'll use the labels on this piece of paper as a base for creating further layering. The labels actually save me some work in that they're already there. All they need are a few extra embellishments along with some pop-dots and maybe a small flower or two.
Speaking of embellishments...there's some serious drool factor going on here. I can't wait to cut this stuff up and adhere it to paper. Oh my goodness....
I would like to formally introduce some of Crate Paper's latest releases: The Mia Collection, Lemon Grass Collection, and Prudence Collection. In the coming weeks, Crate Paper will be introducing a new blog along with our talented design team and a few give-a-ways. Wink. We will be announcing the start date of the new blog in the very near future, so stay tuned..and if you enjoy design tips, we'll have plenty to share with you as we showcase Crate Paper's latest releases.
holy moly! all of that is just yummy!!! :)
