CHA Favs - Part 2

Kaisercraft

There were a couple of booths at this year's show that were so warm and welcoming you had to pull up a chair and stay awhile. Kaisercraft was one of those booths so I did just that. They used a white backdrop of display panels and cabinets to create a fantastic show room for all their new product releases, of which there were many. They released 6 new collections, 11 new Beyond the Page albums and projects, a re-useable packaging system AND a new magazine.



Here is an example of one of the new Beyond the Page products this season.


The packaging on the products is re-useable and doubles as storage. Clever.


These are two of the new paper releases. The first is Loire Valley and the second is Penny Royale. Both lines must be seen to be appreciated. Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff. Oh and see that little bird house? Well, they have a full size wooden one in that same shape. It is another of the Beyond the Page releases this season. It is simply adorable.




The Kaisercraft magazine was an unexpected treat that was literally filled with treats. When I opened the magazine on the plane ride home, I had no idea it wasn't your ordinary catalogue. The first half of the book is a scrapbook magazine full of beautiful pages, projects and articles. The second half is the catalogue. The photography throughout is fantastic and there is even a section at the back with free samples of the new lines. 16 pages have been devoted to paper samples and die cuts to get you started with the new collections. There is even a cookie recipe in the magazine that the girls and I made this week. Yum! This is definitely one of the best "catalogues" I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

The next stop on the CHA tour is Tattered Angels. This is one booth you won't want to miss.
Have a fantastic day.
