Tis the Season: Christmas Emporium Crafts & More From CHA
Hello Crafters,
Thanks for joining us on this lovely Thursday. Wow, what a week it's been! So much CHA excitement! So many gorgeous new crafts from our design team! Plus it's been so great reading all of your comments about our new collections. We can't wait until you get your hands on these amazing new products! Today we're featuring our brand new paper collection Christmas Emporium. Yes, we know it's the middle of summer in the northern hemisphere, but it's never too early to start thinking about holiday craft ideas! Today's works of art are so captivating and beautiful, they are guaranteed to get you in the holiday spirit.
But first we wanted to share with you some more happy moments from CHA! Here is a great photo of some familiar faces from Graphic 45. Here we have Sherry Cheever, Lynette Carroll, Charee and Gloria Stengel in the Graphic 45 booth! What a wonderful moment!
Here is one of the sweet items in the Christmas Emporium section of the Graphic 45 booth. It's an adorable baby doll in a carriage that's decorated entirely with Christmas Emporium. Amazing!
Here we have some stunning jewelry designs by Jack & Cat Curio. They used our Metal Staples as well as papers to create these wonderful accessories which are proudly on display in our booth right now at CHA! Thanks Jack & Cat!
Okay, lets get to the crafts. First up are these wonderful cards by Lynette Carroll. They are so lovely and festive. Lynette's elegant and imaginative style works perfectly with Christmas Emporium.
Next we have this amazing altered art box by Jack & Cat Curio also featuring Christmas Emporium. This box is a winter wonderland of Christmas cheer! Made using our new 5x8 Kraftboard Altered Art Box, this amazing creation also includes a beautiful accordion-fold mini album! With its bright colors, playful images, and decadent layers and embellishments, this altered box is a total Christmas classic!
Huge thanks to Lynette Carroll and Jack & Cat Curio for their brilliant work today. We hope you will all join us tomorrow as we announce this week's blog contest winner. There's still time to cast your vote for your favorite new product from Graphic 45. Leave us a blog comment letting us know what new collection or product you are most excited about and you could win this week's prize! We hope you have a terrific Thursday!
Christmas Wishes,
Team Graphic 45
The projects are truly amazing. I wish I could see your CHA booth up close and personal!

The box and album by Jack and Cat Curio is so lovely and cute at the same time. I am looking forward to the new boxes and papers being available for purchase. The Christmas papers are so pretty and will make my Christmas cards shine. Thank you for the sneak peaks and a look into the CHA!

Christmas Wishes is absolutely a must have and one that I would get tons of use out of, but The Magic of Oz has such a warm place in my heart it's still leading the race.

The new Christmas papers are really cute. I could use them to make a box for my Christmas cards (I make them in the summer so I won't run out of time).
