I am currently in Chicago for the Craft & Hobby Association Summer Show (CHA).  If you don't know what CHA is, read this post.  I am debuting fifteen new stencil designs with The Crafter's Workshop this summer.  There are two new coordinating stamp/stencil sets as well!  Everything should be available for sale by August.  Fingers crossed.  I thought I'd share the new stencil designs with you over the next four days.  I hope you're as excited about them as I am!

I used five different stencils on this art journal page, but the ones you really notice are "4 Flowers"…

4flowersLOGO
…and "Pattern Strips."

PatternStripsLOGOThe "Pattern Strips" stencil will have a matching set of stamps!  Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

For the layout above, I used the "Pattern Strips" stencil again, but printed in reverse.  I also used the "Life Strips" stencil:

LifeStripsLOGO
This stencil will be available in both 6×6 and 12×12 and the 6×6 version will have matching stamps too!  I love this stencil.  It has already made several appearances in my art journal and my Project Life album:

I also used the "Pattern Strips" stencil (it's just one of those workhorse stencils, you know) on this layout, just under the photo:

You can see the "Hexagons" stencil used in 6×6 and 12×12 to create the background of the layout.

HexagonsLOGO
I know that it's my stencil and so I really shouldn't say this, but I just love the way the hexagons are laid out.  It makes it easy to use only one size (if you want) or to create a cool overall hexagon pattern!

I'll be back tomorrow with some more peeks.

    These are fabulous! I too cannot wait for them to get into the stores.
    I love seeing your layouts and use of your own products.
    The page with the hexagons is great and I wanted to tell you the first thing I noticed is you and your great smile/look. Then I read the note…we all go through those self-doubt moments (I am having one just like you described..but on an internet dating site–yikes).
    Have a rip-roaring time at CHA with all of the demos,great people and products.
    Thanks for sharing

  • Love getting your eye on everything.
    The new stencils are fantastic! I love the hexagons but no mre than the pattern and life strips.
    Your hexagon layout is terrific. It’s not easy to like photos of yourself – I never like mine either – but it’s awesome that you’re brave enough to post them.
    Just look at the joie de vivre beaming from your face. That’s what hits the viewer.And it shines through in everything you create.
    Have a ball at CHA!
