Are you planning on attending the CHA Consumer Show in Anaheim? Cheryl Mezzetti, Creative Imaginations’ Design Team Coordinator, will be creating the first six months of this adorable tag book! Cheryl used the new Creative Cafe calendar papers, foil cardstock and stickers! 

Cheryl will  be teaching this class on Friday, January 22nd from 4:00pm - 5:30pm. Stop by and tell her you saw in on the blog!

The Creative Imaginations CHA Party is always one of the most talked about events of the show! If you are going…make sure you make this AMAZING mini book Danelle created with the new Creative Cafe foil papers and new Accucut dies!

We’ll be creating a mini album with your entire year in this one cute album. Each page features a Creative Cafe month paper (January through December). It’s the perfect way to include a few photos of each month of the year! All bound together with the Bind-It-All this makes the perfect momento or gift too!

Now the FUN part…

We’ll give away TWO of these adorable make and take kits on the blog!

Post your name, AND where you get most of your creative supplies! We’ll pick TWO winners on Monday, January 25th! Tell a friend, and have them post too, and you BOTH may win!

My favorite part of these exciting new Creative Cafe dies from Accucut are the words and flowers! The sizing of the words make them wonderful to use with rub-ons, stickers or even stamps. 

Below are MORE samples, that are just a preview of two other wonderful projects we’ll showcase in the next few days! The set of flower dies includes over 8 different pieces that you can mix and match to create different flowers, stems and centers. You’ll love all the different combinations you can create!

CHA Winter 2010 is going to be an exciting show. Make sure you stay tuned for more previews of the new products… as well as a few FREE giveaways!

Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and we love these new ideas for your table setting from Roree! Placemats and name tags for seating are great ideas to spruce up any table. 

We also loved this new set of Fall cards… oranges, browns and rustic rich colors are sure to brighten the day of any friend or relative. Do you have some creative projects planned for fall? Are you still journaling and finding new ways to remember your special moments?

Fall is here, Halloween is this weekend, and it’s the perfect time to get all those photos of oranges, reds and browns! We loved this chipboard book using Creative Cafe transparencies, Accucut dies and glitter paper. 

From the pumpkin patch, to fall colors, this the perfect time of year for great photos. What are taking photos of this weekend? Your ghosts and goblins, trick or treating? Let us know, we’d love to hear!

Some of the best-selling Creative Cafe dies from AccuCut are the mini book die sets. This new set is amazing! You’ll love the various shapes, that can create several different pages and covers. The Creative Cafe colored chipboard, glitter paper, felt and transparencies are PERFECT for these mini books! The design team has been busy creating all kinds of fall and holiday projects, since the upcoming trade show features products that ship fall through winter. 

Each of these mini books also features several new die shapes, also being released at CHA Summer. The stars shown on each album are another set of new dies that are available from AccuCut. Gotta love the bird and owl too, which were released earlier in the year!

Which mini book is your favorite, and which page shape do you like best?

I love the tall tag, but several of my friends like the large bracket, like on the cover of the pear mini book! Tell us your favorites, and we’ll pick one winner the week of August 2nd, for a goodie bag of Creative Cafe products!

Stay tuned tomorrow for more CHA Summer Creative Cafe previews!

Kids are getting out of school for the summer, the weather in MOST parts of the country is getting warmer… and the summer season of activities begins! From swimming to baseball, we wanted to inspire you with these new layouts using Creative Cafe’s latest products.

The die cut number paper is one of our favorites…

It’s here… Spring! Yet in some parts of the country, I’m sure it doesn’t seem like it  Decorative Banners are a great way to celebrate Spring, birthdays, graduation, Easter, or any other special occasion you might be celebrating!

What projects have you been working on for Spring? Share your latest idea for a Spring paper crafting project by posting here. We’ll draw two random winners for a FREE package of Spring colored glitter glue from Hampton Arts. Good luck!

Thought we’d share a little more Valentine’s Day inspiration, and give you some more great ideas with the new Accucut dies! The small scalloped heart has so many great uses! From the little sign on this adorable button flower arrangement, to the Valentine’s cards below… the ideas are endless.

These cute cards feature the new bird die that is in the CHA Winter 09 release of Accucut dies. See all of the new new dies here. 

Here’s your chance to WIN your very own set of die cut birds. Comment here, and tell us what new die shapes you’d like to see from Creative Cafe. We’ll pick two winners when we get back from CHA. Good luck!

We’ll be posting several holiday projects this week to inspire your creativity for the season. Greta created this holiday layout using several new products you should be seeing in your local or on-line stores now! Love these new printed tags that you can journal on, combined with the Creative Cafe Accucut dies: scalloped circle die and “joy” word die. Take plenty of photos in the next few weeks to remember 2008. 

Christmas is ONLY 9 days away!
