Sometimes I think it gets a little hard to keep up with everything going on.  It reminds me a bit of when I was little and I loved riding  merry go rounds laying on your back, just looking at the sky while it spins.  I think the month before a show is very much like that.  

There are new Art Warehouse products coming out at CHA with Hampton Art and Creative Imaginations.  Also, some fun new Creative Cafe products being released for CI, Hampton and AccuCut.   I will share a little bit of all those releases through the next week. 

I really can’t express how much I love using these next items.  It’s become a tool that I just can’t live without.  So when it’s time to release new dies, the possibilities for creating are multiplied 10 fold.   These dies are part of the AccuCut die cutting system.   We use this system in Creative Cafe for lots creative possibilities.  Here are some of our new Creative Cafe dies.  Keep in mind when you see these, you might not realize what size they are.  Make sure if you are looking at the catalog to notice the size.  After reading these catalogs for several years, I still find myself forgetting to check the size.  For example one of our new flowers is a 8 inch flower.  First look, you don’t quite get the impression that is so large since we have this same design smaller, but love the possibilities of it being BIG.

These are probably my favorite new dies.  I have already used them a LOT.  Actually you might remember seeing a few of these here.  Think of cutting these with felt, chipboard, paper, fabric. 

and some projects that used these dies

You can use these big in a mini book and layer them, or small on little projects.  They range in size from 8 inches to about 1/2 inch. 

These next dies are all bigger with the arrow being about 8 inch and the other two full 11.5 inch.  Using these with the CCafe chipboard is my favorite thing. 

These next 3 projects were all made with the scallop edge die:

cut it up and it makes the perfect little mini book:

project using the bracket paper die:

the arrow that also works as a house and more die:

and if you are ever at a loss for which die to use, why not use them all and bind them in a book. 

You can sure get a lot of projects out of just a few dies.  One really great thing about these dies is I just got an email saying they are shipping NOW!  So if you are a retailer and want more information with pricing and also a coupon and shipping special read here.  There are more dies I will post tomorrow AND if you are up on your Creative Cafe goodies, you will notice a few of our new items in the projects above.  More on that in the next few days.
