CHA Winter 2012 | Fancy Pants Filter Paper Embellishments (and collections)

Fancy Pants released four new lines at CHA Winter, but my favorite thing was an accessory item included in each colorway.

Filter Paper Embellishments are sort of a cross between a coffee filter, tissue paper, and a printed doily. They can be folded into yoyos, stitched, crinkled, cut, or used as is. There are so many creative and colorful possibilities!

CHA Winter 2012 | Grant Studios

My serendipitous discovery of the new-to-me Grant Studios (who were a new exhibitor at CHA Summer 2011) began with an adorable tote bag I saw another attendee carrying.

I looked up the booth number of the company on the bag and it lead me to a booth that was full of fabulous paper lines and card making products. The Australian company describes their range as “from fun and playful, to pretty floral styles to retro vintage designs.” Basically, there is something for everyone!

CHA Winter 2012 | Melissa Frances

The most popular item at the CHA Show from the latest Melissa Frances release has been the darling decorative hangers. It’s such a fun way to display a photo, mixed media piece, mini album, or any number of decorative lovelies.
