Have you heard the buzz?

Have you heard the buzz on the newest trend to take the crafting world by storm?

I'm talking about Honeycomb paper, of course! It's been gaining steam over the last year and we're happy to announce that here at Colorbök, we've been busy little bees, creating a new line of honeycomb paper and stencils!

Here's a little sneak peek at what's to come (hope you can wait until mid-April, when it's slated to hit stores!)

We've got papers in a rainbow of colors, and plenty of cute stencil sets to help you create fun projects quickly and easily.

 

Use honeycomb paper to decorate a card, embellish gifts, create party favors and decor, and much more!

 

We hope you're as excited as we are for this product lauch!!

Stay tuned in April when this exciting new program comes to a JoAnn Fabric and Craft Larger Superstore near you! And if you can't wait to start getting inspired, check out our Honeycomb board on Pinterest!

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.

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.

One Sunny Day and Daisy Dear Now at Archiver's!

Archiver's released a video sneak peek of some of their new products just in time for Mother's Day shopping and we were thrilled to see the Heidi Grace boutiques One Sunny Day and Daisy Dear featured!  (Molly just raves about the printed alphabet punch-outs and coordinating raw chipboard punch-outs, saying "You can put titles on about a million pages.") 

Check out this clip of the video:

 

Spring is in the Air!

Spring is here! It may not feel like it outside, (at least not here in Michigan anyways), but it is that time of year. We are very excited about a new Promotional Program setting this week in Wal-Mart stores across the country. A whole spring program dedicated to paper crafting!

We have SUPER SIZED box kits, and adorable acrylic paint cans filled to the brim with chipboard books, stamps, cards, glitter chipboard and more!

We used the Bright Box Kit to make these scrapbook pages. But, with over 3,000 pieces in each kit (YUP, not a typo....3,000 pieces!)...you can make a variety of projects and probably still have pieces left!

 The acrylic paint cans come in 4 styles : Chipboard Mini Books Kit (includes 3 spring shaped chipboard books and all the paper & embellies), Stamp Kit (includes mini cards & envelopes, 2 full sheets of clear stamps and glitter!), Glitter Chipboard (6 colors of full glitter alphas & shapes) , Card Kit (cards, envelopes, and all the embellies)

Dare to think outside the box (or pail)...you can create a wide variety of springtime projects with these pails. We made a Welcome to Spring Garland and some Festive Magnets using the Mini Book Kit Pail. We even wrapped a gift using the empty pail and decorated it with stamps and goods from the Stamp Kit Pail!

 


 We can't wait to see what creative projects you come up with, so if you make 'em, share 'em! Go to our facebook page and post your shots to our Fan Gallery. We would love to see what you create!

There's a new stamp in town!

We are all in love with our new Cloud 9 and Heidi Grace rubber cling stamps! If you've always adored the versatility of an acrylic stamp but craved the clear detail you get from a rubber stamp, these are for you!

Try them and you'll see!

Check out the advantages:

• You can mix and match the designs to create one-of-a-kind projects.

• They'll cling to any smooth surface. No more acrylic blocks necessary.

• The washable adhesive backs can be used over and over again.

• The detail is amazing while still being inexpensive and so versatile!

 Here are a few projects we made!

Find them at JoAnn's Craft and Larger Superstores! Enjoy!
