CHA Paper Lines & More: Dear Lizzy + American Crafts

This was not only one of the cutest booths of the show, but one of the most adorable lines of the show, too! It doesn't hurt that it combines the awesomeness that is American Crafts with the splendid talent of one of today's most popular scrapbookers, Elizabeth Kartchner (this girl is just as beautiful and sweet in person as she is online!).



Her tea party setup was like a trip to Wonderland and we were pulled into Lizzy's world with ease.





There wasn't one piece in this line that I didn't love. All of the embellishments are perfectly appointed for spring but can be used in a variety of projects.



Let's take a closer look at some of the pieces:











Here's a sneak at the gorgeous papers that accompany all the above goodies.



If there is any "must have" item out of every American Crafts offering, it's the Thickers. Lizzy's line is certainly no exception. Check out these beauties:



We think Lizzy Kartcher's partnership with American Crafts is absolutely lovely, and we know you will too.

CHA Paper Lines & More: Jenni Bowlin

Jenni Bowlin's booth is always cute as a button, and this year was no exception. Scads of fun little vintage-inspired papers, embellishments, and journalling cards.







We loved these little Embellished Butterflies, which are self-adhesive and come in packs of five:





Jenni's new Homespun Collection is precious in pinks, greens, and yellows:



There's mini papers, mini banners, and dotted labels:





How cute are these stick pins?



These Cut and Paste Bingo Letters are going to be big:



And a new partnership with Core'dinations has produced these fun, pre-embossed cardstocks, available as both pads and open stock:



Jenni herself was in the booth, and I assure you, she's just as cute as her new Vintage Style Sew-on Buttons:

Here's star reporter Heather Fuentes with Jenni Bowlin... they're both so cute they blended right into the booth!


Even the name tags created by her team were adorable! Perfectly vintage and perfectly Jenni:

CHA Paper Lines & More: 7 Gypsies

Perennial favorites 7 Gypsies are turning back the clock with their paper line. As our booth tour guide said, "We're going back to our roots."

Avignon paper is double-sided with a bright side and a more subtle side:



the line also includes adorable paper clips with letter charms:



and fun Paper Tape, not to be confused with the heavier duty gaffer tape:





These fun little notebooks (Petit Carnet) have pockets on the inside of the covers, and will be sold as a two-pack:





Also new is a line of vintage stationery, sold as a 10-pack:





My tastes run more modern than vintage, but even I was wowed by the next few items.

Vintage Receipt Holder:






Display Stand:



And adding to their Artist Tray display line, Printer's Trays:





The trays are lightweight and easy to hang, but distressed enough to be convincing. The heavy, vintage, wood, letter type tray I have in my house is nervous!

Also adorable are these Mini Labels (which would look great with those trays) and Seam Binding Ribbon:



and these Jeweled Binding Rings:





Here are a few more pretties from around their booth:










It's enough to make even this modern-girl swoon a little!
