Part 3
Welcome back to part three of my series on What’s Hot at the CHA Summer Show. In this series, I want to share with you some other companies and products that I saw when I recently attended the CHA show in Rosemont Illinois. If this is the first time you’re joining me, be sure to check out my other two articles. You don’t want to miss a thing. These companies and products that I am bringing to you are fabulous! I believe they are products that all scrapbookers and rubber stamp artists alike should have in their tool kits and supplies. Let’s start off with one of my favorites.
Flower Soft
I first came across Flower Soft at the CHA Winter show in Anaheim, California in January of this year. I was so excited and intrigued by the product after seeing it at the show, I immediately came home and ordered it. Unfortunately, time and prior commitments got the best of me and I was unable to even open the box to play for the first few months that I had it. But now, I’m more determined than ever. I found the company booth again at the CHA Summer show and, just like the first time, I fell in love. This product is a fantastic way to add texture and dimension to any scrapbook page and card. You can use it just like glitter. Place their glue on your project, sprinkle Flower Soft on, and gently tap off excess Flower Soft and return it to the bottle.
The company also has a wonderful line of rubber stamp images that work perfectly with the product and also a paper line of images that you can use to create beautiful 3-D picture windows. This company’s complete line of products is a must-have for your tool boxes. For more information, please visit their website at www.flower-soft.com or call them at 1-877-989-0205. Please stay tuned for projects created by me with this great product!
Graphic 45
When I walked by this booth at the CHA show, I literally stopped dead in my tracks and stood in the middle of the walkway with my mouth hanging wide open! I had never seen a more beautiful booth in all my years of attending the CHA shows. The way their paper products were displayed and the gorgeous projects made with those products were simply breathtaking. I just wanted to go into the booth and buy everything in sight. My head was exploding with all of the cool ideas I was imagining with these papers.
This is what their website has to say about their company and I think it sums up what the company is all about. “Graphic 45 is an award-winning scrapbook and paper crafting company. We offer vintage inspired crafting products that capture the flamboyant style of days gone by-with vibrant color, irresistible texture and imaginative design to create products with decades-old appeal that’s both fresh and familiar. Let our products inspire your next scrapbook layout, card, album or home décor project.”
So, the next time you’re in the market for some unique, vintage inspired papers for your projects, check out Graphic 45. You won’t be disappointed. They can be reached at their website at www.g45papers.com or by phone at 1-866-573-4806.
