CHA sneak peek: daiLy juNquE

 

gulp. um..yea. this is something you will want to use daily.

junquey or not...this collection is. to. die. for.

I'm a sucker for ephemera & this pack has 55 pieces in it...from flash cards, to die cut shapes, to postcards , to vintage notes...and....it comes in a glassine envie...I'm going to want to use that envie again! repurpose! *wink*

LOOK at these stamps! 33 fabulous stamps. I've been using them like crazy & I want that little birdie to perch on my shoulder. I just love it!

something I LOVE about working with Pink Paislee is they SEE our vision & help us make it a reality! I've been dreaming of these chalkboard stickers for years! I'm giddy about them!

Something that is SOOO fun about this collection is the fact that it is 'daily'. Notice the stamps: days of the week, numbers, to do list, etc. And this mini notes & labels pack has 0-31 mini cards (double sided) that will be so fun to use as a calendar (think: advent calendars at Christmas, or countdown calendars, etc.) And...I don't have a close up of the papers, but we designed 2 of them that *work* as calendars...LOVE that concept! Talk about a DIY calendar/planner kit! wow!

more 'custom dyed' twine, too! Go on over the Pink Paislee blog to comment to WIN this collection & to see the wood letters, the metal flags, & the whole enchilada! SWOON@! I"m dying!

CHA sneak peek: SoiRée

it's HERE! We can finally show you all the oodles of pure melted gold, which I like to call: Soirée.

House of 3 has teamed up with Pink Paislee again...& I have to say: they are amazing. Rebecca is the BEST! we just adore the whole PP team!

and, it's quite a par*tay!

Everything you need for all the celebrations in your life. It's got feminine AND masucline colors in it, so it's so very versatile.

and...here are some of my fave parts:

The Paper Pack

double sided deliciousness...here's one of my faves...can I PLEASE have this floral print in a dress?

web show re-cap

It feels like Thursday today since we were off on our normal Wednesday Web Show & had it last night...Tuesday. Did I confuse you? Yea , I've been confused all week with Monday being a National Holiday, too! Oy!

Lots of fun sneaks, peeks, secrets, & of course, some major glimmer misting was going on!

We welcomed our special Guest: Wendy Senger of Tattered Angels. We announced  Color Connections! And we explained a little about it. We are so excited to share this new collaboration between 4 companies that come together to bring products that are formulated to work together & take the guess work out of color combinations! Pink Paislee, House of 3, Prima Marketing, Inc. & of course: Tattered Angels.

We talked about & showed the new Color Systems that Tattered Angels has created for each of our company's physical products: custom clam packs of Glimmer Mist, Glam & Glaze; that have been formulated to match perfectly with our 2 NEW lines coming out next week at CHA.

(Soiree & Daily Junque)

And, the NEW lines from Prima (we showed some sneeks of the amazing canvas flowers, etc. *swoon*) It's so exciting to see how all 4 companies can come together, work together & take the guess work out of color combining; hence the name: Color Connections. holla!

We also showed how cool the Glimmer Mists, Glam & Glaze works on bare wood. 

And, Heidi misted the bird houses that I'm glamming up for CHA. The NEW Chalkboard Glimmer Mists are sooo saturated, deep & bright! I'm giddy with it! 

I showed a little *forshadowing* of a new product we'll be putting out with Pink Paislee, too! And showed how to colorize them with these new colors: FELT FLOWERS!

such bright gorgeous colors...seriously. every white/cream flower can be any color you want! love it!

but, check out the shot Wendy took of my hands after the show! LOL!

Yea...I went home & found that a sugar/sea salt/natural oil scrub did the trick. My hands were fine afterwards...& felt so good after that scrub!

*whew* soo....doing a lot of creating to get ready for CHA next week! so excited!

fun new things...

Last night on the web show, we mentioned a bit about some NEW things that will be coming your way from House of 3....well....here's a hint & sneak peek. 

The entire lines will debut at the winter CHA (craft & hobby association show) at the end of the month....so excited. We have loved working with Pink Paislee on these projects...so? Can you guess which 2 lines are House of 3 lines? hmmm....:)

&....last night was so inspiring. I felt re-energized & so resolved to continue my new year goals....how about You? ** I even talked Jeff into restyling my studio after Heidi left! LOL!  Remember when we talked about how changing things around can really refresh something? Well...I took my 2 work tables & changed them up a bit..I'll share tomorrow...along with how I did my huge magnet board that I've had TONS of questions about today! *wink*

Parisian Anthology info....& giveaway!

Thanks everyone! This sneak peek show was so much fun!

Janet & Rick did a fab job...thanks, T for helping, too! Didn't you just get giddy seeing the new collection?

The live chat is always FAST & FUN! There were so many people there asking questions during the live chat, I'm SURE we missed some. So, please be sure to ask them here!  A few questions I did see:

1. Many of you wanted to get a blinkie to share with friends about our Wednesday Webshows. so...

Look on the sidebar over on our House blog & there's the code for a side bar blinkie for your blog.

2.  Q: When will this new Parisian Anthology collection ship? 

A: the first of September.  And so far, it will be available at your local craft/scrapbook stores, online stores, etc. As we learn more of its availability, we will shout it out!

3. Q: What if I can't wait for the collection? or What if I live on the other side of the world? How can I get a piece of the action?

A: Look at our NEW House of 3 Parisian Anthology Add-on kits. There are 6 new digital kits; all coordinating perfectly with the new physical collection. 

This is hybrid at its finest! Something for everyone! 

We have coordinating brushes, frames, word art, 

a fun printable & little notes & mini spots!

4. And...as promised...here are the images of the shots we shared using the NEW House of 3 Parisian Anthology collection from Pink Paislee debuting at CHA on Tuesday, July 27th.

 (banner created with House of 3 Parisian Anthology ticket roll, stamps & papers. Frame: Parisian Anthology digital brushes)

There were a bunch of questions about HOW I made the banners.  These tickets come in a roll of 100. yes. 100 tickets! love them! So, I ripped a bunch off & then sewed them together with my sewing machine. Super duper easy & fast for a cute banner. Later, I added some stamping on them with the FAB new Hof3 stamps we showed last night! Love these things!

One of my favorites of this new collection is the little Ruffle Darlings.  15" of pure deeeelight.  They come in 3 different colors: white, grey & turquoise.  All of these ruffle ribbons are light weight, silky & shiny! Perfect for so many wonderful creations. I twirled, glued & clipped this one into a flower. Added one of our new Flair rhinestone buttons & voila! A chic accessory for  hair, clothes, pillows, scrapbook pages, cards, albums..you name it!

Here's a fun layout I did with some of the fabulous double sided resist papers in the collection.  

Parisian Anthology stamps, Flair Rhinestone button, tickets & flags cut out of the papers....mixed with crepe paper ruffles, polaroid pikcha, doily, feathers, pearls! So fun!

Here's another layout..I haven't added the journaling yet..I'm waiting for some of the NEW corrugated elements to put in that bottom right corner...but, I loved how this one turned out.

I ran out of the fabric ruffles, so I made some out of crepe paper. Look at the little *bling* elements! Love these dangles! And for the top, I just misted the resist papers, punched them out & then created the scalloped top layers.  I added grey crepe ruffles & pearls on top! The tiny pictures are printed on sticker paper & I cut them out to make the banner with the photos!..added  a little stamping on the bottom right & will top off with the new corrugated elements! I'll for sure have these layouts in the booth at CHA, so come by & see the finished project!

and....speaking of coming by the booth....

Each of us will be teaching a very fun 'event' (tickets required) using our new collection.  My class will be based on wearable art...I'll be showing you HOW you can use our new collection to create a fashion statement like this:

This project uses the new Flower darlings, bling dangle elements & the Flair starburst flowers & Flair rhinestone buttons.

I am in LOVE with these unique starbursts! They come in 2 sizes: small & large...but, also come in clear or smoky. So do the bling dangles...i LOVE the smoky..it's so fab! And...you can see the close up of the delicious ruffle darlings...I'm tellin' you....Pink Paislee did such a GREAT job...such good quality in *every* single bit of the collection. We couldn't be happier! Thank you, Rebecca, for everything..we feel so lucky to work with you & your team...you are a*mazing!

Now, go on over to Pink Paislee to see the FULL reveal & enter to win a giveaway!

And check out what Janet & Heidi
have got, too. It's been so fun to see how each of us use the same products in such different ways. I love that about our team...so unique, but so united! I'm lovin' our House!
See you in Chicago!
