DT Challenge: Spotting Trends

Walking the floor of the Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) Trade Show is always an adventure! What could possibly be more exciting than getting to see three huge showrooms of brand new products that you can hardly wait to get your hands on? Only one thing: getting to share that experience with your girlfriends!

From the very beginning, the i {heart} papers team has had strong ties to Paper Craft Planet and I adore Susanna. :) Our mutual love of paper and paper-crafting was the foundation for our friendship, and CHA has given us the opportunity to meet face-to-face and translate those online friendships into real life. It's so much more fun in person than it is on screen!

As we walked the CHA floor we were drawn to certain products and projects...when we discussed them over dinner we discovered some emerging trends. That's what today's challenge is all about.

Of course, not everyone can attend CHA. We were quite sorely missing some of our team mates...and the general public is not eligible to attend. Thankfully, those of you who couldn't be there can live vicariously through the next best thing: photos! Check out these in this post from Susanna, and several posts from MoxieFab!

For my card today I am highlighting chevrons. They were EVERYWHERE. (And don’t forget Mint Motif’s Beyond Borders, recently featured in Stamp It! 3 Ways has a chevron in it!) But for today, I used Paper Smooches Forest Whimsy set along with Sentiment Sampler, stamped in Memento inks. I popped the focal image and the handcut cloud out on some dimensionals (more on order!) I used My Mind’s Eye Away We Go pad for both background papers and the paper for piecing the hat. I added some Liquid Pearls and Crackle Accents on the beard and boots for extra texture, my oval Nesties and layered some faux suede ivory ribbon and some ivory lace from my stash as the final finishing touch.

Here is the lineup for today’s trendy challenge. Be sure to hop along and leave UNIQUE comments for all the participants. I’ll be drawing a random commenter from all the comments to win a trendy prize pack! (CONTEST CLOSED) Here are the links for you!

DT Spotlight: Paper Pieced Love by Lori

Happy Valentine’s Day my sweets!  I woke up to a bouquet of beautiful flowers and a Soy Caramel Macchiato (my go t0 drink!) from Starbucks.  That’s love! 

And so is this!  How stinking cute is this little Paper Smooches guy that Lori paper pieced?  You can see all her details here.

I’m expecting at least two deliveries this week, including Technique Tuesday and Echo Park so be sure to check the new section later in the week.  And there is still time to sign up for the Studio AE monthly club!

Each month, Ali Edwards and the Technique Tuesday team release a new 4"x6" stamp set. The stamp sets feature Ali's handwriting or fonts that she picked to fit the words and phrases in the stamp set.   Only a limited number of each of these sets - enough for the people who are members of Studio AE are made.

This is a 6 month commitment and all six months are billed when you initially order and there are no refunds or partial refunds.  The monthly set is shipped as soon as IHP receives it, usually around the 17th of each month.  Sets are shipped first class mail to you.

Studio AE members receive automatic delivery each month of their AE set, FREE US shipping on their AE set (a $4 savings each month) plus occasionally gifts or exclusive special offers.  In addition to receiving the exclusive Studio AE set shipped to you free each month, members will also receive a 15% coupon valid for all other IHP store orders during your subscription.

$100 for a six month membership...that's only $16.67 per stamp set, a 17% discount off the suggested retail price PLUS you're getting free shipping - a $24 savings!  PLUS you save with your 15% off IHP coupon on all your other orders!

Sign up now because subscriptions are limited but PLEASE PLACE your membership on its own order!

(This is available to US shipping addresses only.  If you are an international customer, you will be charged an additional shipping charge.  Please contact us PRIOR to ordering so we can advise you of that additional charge.)

Thanks for stopping in today.  See you soon!

DT Spotlight: Nutty for You

I love the panels and the CAS design that Lori used for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge.  Be sure to check out her post for all the details. 

I’m excited that I’ve started to see some CHA charges hit my credit card.  That means some goodies should be hitting the new section of the store very soon!  Be sure to check often!

Thanks for stopping by today!

DT Spotlight: Mint Motif

Carolyn didn’t come with us to CHA, so she had a grand weekend of stamping and came up with this lovely card using one of IHP’s exclusive stamp lines, Mint Motif.  She used Beyond Borders to make the background.  What a great Valentine’s Day card!  Be sure to check out her post here for all the details!

Thanks for stopping by!

DT Spotlight: Pawprints

I’m still recovering from the CHA whirlwind.  I’m very much looking forward to the weekend.  So for today I have a DT Spotlight card for you from Lori.  She was with me at CHA and made this cutie card for her parents while they watched her trouble puppy, Chloe.  I love how cute and simple it is.  Check her blog for all the details.

I also received some stuff from October Afternoon that I ordered at the Summer CHA show in July.  The new Sasparilla line is here.

Have a great weekend.  I’ll be back soon with a CHA wrap-up.  I’ve posted some stuff on the Facebook page already.

Thanks for stopping by!
