Nobody does fun and funky holiday papers quite like Graphic 45 and their new “Charmed” collection (above) is no exception! Meanwhile, Photoplay continues to rock the interestingly shaped albums and gifts; their Explosion Box Kit (below) makes a sophisticated project EASY to complete… just add pretty papers!!!

IO: Ho, Ho, Ho (& CP, too!)
As always, Impression Obsession (above) knocks the quick and easy elegant card out of the park! Beautiful, timeless images to stamp, color and mail! But Catherine Pooler (below) is no slouch either; in addition to gorgeous new CP Ink colors (coming soon!!!) her new holiday trees and sentiments are very strong indeed!
Happy (Crafty!) Holidays
Lots of seasonal inspiration from the second day of classes at the Collins Show. Spellbinders (above) has outdone themselves once more, with a collection of dies, embossing folders and sentiments that will be as beautiful and useful in years to come as they are right now. Hero Arts (below) has some utterly gorgeous layered stamping, diecuts and cool techniques! And of course Lawn Fawn’s “APPLE-SOLUTELY” adorable cadre of mice (bottom photo) are warming up to do some harvesting and baking this autumn, followed by “SNOW MUCH FUN” when winter rolls around. Items from the show will start arriving at the beginning of August, so stay tuned for updates!
More Previews from the Collins Show

“Blu” Monday
It’s impossible to be blue when confronted with Indigo Blu’s Artist’s Translucent Acrylic Paints. This morning’s class at the Collins Show involved playing with these beauties on printed cotton…just THREE colors blended to make all these gorgeous shades! Paper Anthology also has a fabulous selection of Indigo Blu Stamps, Luscious Pigment Powders, Mega Flake Metallics, Vivid Ink Sprays and more. Click the links to explore the collection online, and be sure to see them in person the next time you visit the store!

More to come!
Indigo Blu… Times Two
Here’s the last of the inspiring previews from the wild and wonderful winter edition of the Collins Virtual Show. This time, playing with Indigo Blu’s new “Vivids” Ink Sprays, which really live up to their name! The entire range of colors is coming soon to Paper Anthology… just wait until you see these in person!
Hero Arts (x2!)
There were two great classes from Hero Arts at the Collins Virtual Show. The first featured beautiful waterlily stamps and dies, used three different way, including two awesome ideas for vellum! The second shows off just a few more of the new stamps and dies that will be coming our way!
More Product Previews!
The fruits (in this case literally, lol!) of a few more classes from last week’s Collins Group Virtual Retailers Symposium. Above we have slimline, mini slimline and A2 cards from Spellbinders, featuring (of course!) some of the best dies at the Collins Show; as well as some really cool embossing folders. Stay tuned for ALL of these items to arrive at Paper Anthology in the next month or so! Below, a sneak peek of just a few things from Lawn Fawn’s upcoming release, which includes super-cute (of course!) stencils, dies, stamps and papers. Seedlings, strawberries, adorable mice and big chunky sentiments? Yes, please! Orders from the show have already begun arriving at Paper Anthology, so check back often for the coolest and newest items!
Pretty Pinkfresh
Two wonderful classes with Pinkfresh Studio, hint at just a few of their newest items. Everything in these two photos, will be coming to Paper Anthology this spring. Especially love this geometric hot foil plate and stencil set (above) which works for absolutely any occasion, in any color palette! Soft florals and useful sentiments were the focus of the second class; that fun little envelope and the nested frame dies with a pierced edge are also favorites that will see plenty of use!
