Monday Was a FUN-day!
The second day of creative classes at the Winter edition of the Collins Virtual Retailers Symposium included a class from Impression Obsession in which we made a beautiful set of landscape-inspired mini slimline cards (photo above); and some EGGS-tra special Easter greetings in a class from LDRS Designs (photo below); HOW CUTE are those chicks?!
First Day of Classes
The first day of exciting inspiration at the Collins Show was packed full of new products, ideas and techniques. Here are a few highlights: In Altenew’s class (photo above) we used their Golden Days stamp set for all three cards; and also, on the lefthand card, a wonderful debossing cover die called Dotted Tile. Dare 2B Artzy’s class (photo below) featured their new Space Odyssey and Make Waves collections, with coordinating papers, stamps and dies.
Let the Inspiration Begin!
The winter 2022 edition of the Collins Group Virtual Retailers Symposium begins today, so stay tuned all week for the latest makes and previews of items coming soon(ish) to Paper Anthology. First up, cards from the famous Sample Making Frenzy! In photo one, gorgeous florals from AlteNew. In photo two, an ocean vibe from Dare 2B Artzy, lovely lemons (on a textured background) from Spellbinders, and silhouetted drama from Hero Arts. Photo three features soft florals from Stampendous, as well as uber-cuteness and big chunky diecuts from Lawn Fawn.
No Card Left Behind
Here’s one more preview from an outstanding Hero Arts class at the Collins Virtual Retailers Symposium. Would you believe that all three of these cards… Halloween, Winter and Christmas… use the same beautiful swirly background?! Items from the show will be arriving at Paper Anthology in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
Christmas, Halloween and (More!) Christmas
It’s hard to remember a year with SO MANY beautiful Halloween and Christmas products to look forward to; literally every company attending the Collins Virtual Retailers Symposium has brought their A-Game! Not only will all of the beautiful Spellbinders dies (including the Kaleidoscope Ornaments!) above be coming to PA, you miiiight just be seeing them in an upcoming class!
Impression Obsession have some creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky Halloween items (seriously have you ever seen such CUTE spiders?!) and some truly lovely things- including beautiful longer sentiments- for winter and Christmas.
Christmas in July
This edition of the Collins Show is absolutely loaded with beautiful holiday items, many of which will be making their way to Paper Anthology! Day Two finished off with classes from Avery Elle… who are rockin’ CAS Christmas in a big, big way; and Hero Arts whose holiday ornaments stamps, stencils and dies coordinate beautifully. PS: Really loving Hero’s Ornament Looking Glass die set, which lets you cut and layer three levels of windows to make the easiest diorama ever (pictured on the kraft card, below)!
Introducing IndigoBlu
One of the best things about tradeshows is that you get so see new and intriguing items from companies all over the world. Case in point: British brand IndigoBlu is new to us, but a wonderful class using an assortment of their fun and innovative products means that they’ll be coming soon to the Paper Anthology! Meanwhile, Graphic 45 is constantly redefining the minibook and this version does not disappoint: a fabulous book in a box, complete with a journal that features three separate signatures with sixty pages: lined, graph and plain papers.
