CHA Sneak Peek #3 - More from the Antique Paperie Boutique

Check out these cute and creative craft projects featuring our

new Antique Paper line, one of the four collections we are 

premiering this month at CHA!

Antique Paperie is a unique mix of vintage ephemera, classic 

patterns and eclectic flea market design. The modern palette, 

playful elements and creative materials update the look, creating

a contemporary take on a timeless classic. This new collection 

features innovative formats that are perfect for collages and 

mixed media projects.

Look for the whole Antique Paperie line at Joann Craft and Larger Superstores nationwide next month!

 

All the albums shown are true 12x12 scrapbooks that we hope you'll want to trust with your memories and display in your home.  The easel back albums are particularly suited for display, contructed to be freestanding and showcase a montage of photographs and keepsakes. 

What do you look for in an album?  Longevity, simplicity, bold themes, windows, price?

All albums shown are available at Jo-Ann Craft and Larger Superstores nationwide.

Which one are you going to be most eager to see?

Born to be Stylish

We have some lucky ladies here at Colorbök who are expecting and what better way to welcome a little one into the world than with some adorable (and stylish!) hand-decorated onesies?! 

I love these fabrics and was so excited for an excuse to use them, and so were some of my fellow designers.

For these onesies, I created patches out of individual icons or sets of icons in the pattern. This is a great way to use any scraps left over from a larger project!

Before you sew tip: Sew a piece of fabric slightly larger than the patch to the inside of the onesie when sewing on the patch. This will prevent any wrinkling as you sew. Simply trim off any excess from around the stitching on the inside once you are done.

We hope that you have as much fun crafting with our fabrics as we did!

Congratulations to all of the mothers-to-be out there...and wishing everyone a very happy New Year!
