Good Monday morning! We hope everyone had a great weekend and are ready for a creative week. One of the fun parts of CHA (our industry trade show where all new products are showcased) being around the corner is seeing the sneak peeks of all the beautiful new designs we will see popping up in stores in the spring and summer. Today Davinie shares one of the brand new Studio Calico collections with us...State Fair!
"For the winter release, Studio Calico has two new collections to debut, starting with State Fair:
Step right up and check out the latest release, State Fair. Imagine strolling the midway at the state fair taking in the sights and sounds … the textures and colors pop with inspiration. This release evokes the feeling of grandiose sideshows, world famous attractions, and hand printed posters of old. State Fair includes 7 patterned papers, a die-cut paper, alpha & label stickers, a chipboard alpha, die-cut tags, FabRips, and a brand new batch of Mister Huey's Mists to match everything. Shipping February
I used the Pie Contest and Sideshow prints to create this fun spring card:
New to the booth this show are more veneer shapes, including the butterflies seen here.
They come in package of 20, and are the perfect accent to your pages, cards, or décor projects.
Also new this show are a fun set of alphabet stickers called Addy. These coordinate with both new lines and can be found in pink, green, and orange woodgrain.
1. Trim a card base to create a 4.25 x 5.5” card.
2. Trim your larger print at 4.25 x 4 inches and use a border punch on your longer side, making this piece approximately 4x4 square.
3. Trim your smaller print at 4 inches wide by 1.5 inches.
4. Layer the large print over the smaller. Tie a ribbon in a knot, adhere, and stitch.
5. Add a label sticker (the blue one used here is from the State Fair label sheet). Attach an embellishment like flowers or butterflies as I’ve done for this example.
6. Apply your title to the bottom right.
I’ll be back on Wednesday to share a little bit about the second Studio Calico release, Countryside. Have a great day!
