Sneak Peek Week - Day 5 - getting back to our roots...

We hope you have enjoyed the diversity of our peeks so far, today we wanted to share with you some more chipboards - except this time not albums but our chipboard shapes. Are you ready?

We had talked yesterday about our Cherry Blossoms chipboard set which have a definite Asian flair to them. Here is what the set looks like.

We love the look of these birds along with the cherry blossom flowers and branches - there are over 50 pieces in this set!

And here is a large view of the project we featured yesterday using this set of chipboards.

Do you see how beautiful the birds look with a sprinkle of glitter and how the branch pops with some crackle paint?

We also noticed that you seemed to LOVE the cupcake set of stamps from yesterday. If you are excited about that, check out this cupcake set of chipboards.

There are over 50 pieces in this set including the words- party, celebrate and fun. There are cupcakes of all shapes and sizes here. And it wouldn't be a party without some party hats too! Just think all the sweet goodness with none of the calories!

Here is what our design team did with the set.

Oh yeah, did you notice this was done on a small cupcake coaster which has an embossed cover? How is that for a bonus peek - this embossed cover coaster cupcake is about 3.5" wide will retail for about $2.25 in the US.

Both of the chipboard sets (the Cherry Blossoms and Cupcakes) come in our signature lunch tins and will retail for about $8.00 in the US.

But we are NOT DONE WITH THE PEEKS!

We are doing some new things now - how about some chipboard sheets? And what about some butterflies?

We are releasing 4 different chipboard sheets - that are 6" x 12". The chipboard sheets are made from the same high quality chipboard as the ones in our tins but in sheet form. The 6" x 12" sheets will retail for about $3.60.

Check out how AMAZING the butterflies look all done up.

And here is a tip, save the sheet that the chipboards come on and use them as a stencil/mask for other projects.

And finally, there was a question about bling from one of the comments, and yes, we are taking the bling plunge!

Check these beauties out.

We will be offering 3 different sets of flower jewels in clear, spring and winter color schemes. There are 40 jewels in a signature MR journey tin (the photo shows the cover off the tin) and this all retails for $3.00!

Check out these pretty flowers in action.

Whew, we made it through another day of peeks. Let us know what you think for a chance at a prize pack!

And finally, we were thinking that on day 8 (Monday), we would share some projects from the Maya Road DT so you all could be inspired AND we would throw in 1 extra prize pack up for grabs! What do you think? Let us know!

Sneak Peek Week - Day 4 - are you ready for some MORE eye candy?

Can it already be day 4 of our peeks? But before we get into that, there were some questions about this project from our design team concerning potential other peeks so we wanted to share what those were! Here is a close up of yesterday's peek.

The birds and branches are part of a new chipboard set called "Cherry Blossoms" which incidentally also has some cherry blossom flowers chipboard in them. The chipboard birds were decorated with glitter to get the amazing effect.

And as for the butterfly pins, they are a combo of new and old! The butterflies are part of our Trinket Bead collection (Hearts and Butterflies) but you got us on the jewel topped pins! Those are new for CHA-S!

Now back to the main sneak peek today! It is stamp time!

We will be releasing a set of 14 stamps this summer - 4 large sets (retail for $15 a set in the US) and 10 singletons ($5 each in the US). Here is a first peek at some of them.

This clocks set has 28 different stamps in it. Check out what our design team did with this set.

And what about some friendly zoo animals?

And would you believe they fit perfectly on our new zoo animal keychains like this?

Aren't they super sweet?

Speaking of sweet, how do you feel about some cupcakes in your future?

There are over 16 stamps in this sweet cupcake set and look at what delish creations you can make from them.

Here is a shot of one of our small Singleton stamps - notice it matches one of our A Day To Remember Printed Sheers and there are also 4 stamps to this set.

And here is what the stamp looks like on one of our new albums.

Our stamps are made of high quality photopolymer to allow the user to get the sharpest images around. The photopolymer we use will not yellow and retain their stickiness with just a simple washing as needed.  If you buy the large sets of stamps, they come with the handy dandy storage tin! Just think even the cupcake stamps are less than $1 a piece when you do the math!

As you can tell, we believe in there being a little something for everyone - it doesn't matter if you are a flower and frills type or a rough and tumble type, we hope that you will find our products inspire you (along with our design team).

And finally we wanted to leave you with some eye candy that is so easy to do! Check out this bracelet which was done using our trinket beads (Tutti Fruity, Hearts and Butterflies and Birds of a Feather ones)

All you have to do is put each bead on a jump ring and then onto a bracelet. Just think how totally cool this would be this summer! You can find more detailed instructions in the Maya Road Creative Corner.

And remember, make a post each day to win one of 7 Maya Road win-it-before-you-can-buy-it prize packages! The details are here.

Sneak Peek Week - Day 3 - are you ready for some eye candy?

  Wow, is it already day 3? Thank you for all the comment so far about the peeks we have shown. There is still a lot more to come! And there was a comment in the day 2 peeks asking us not to have the Calendar Albums as limited editions, let us just say we have heard you and if possible, we will try to make them more readily available - but that means we need to see you all (and your LSS) ask for these! If we have the demand, we will make them!

Anyhow it is back to the peeks - today we wanted to bring you some beautiful eye candy! Check out first some additions to our trinket blossoms line.

   

Are these flowers not beautiful? Each package will have two colors to a set - what you are seeing is a total of nine different flower combos. Each package will retail for $3.50 in the US. We absolutely adore these trinket blossoms.  Once you see them you will see all the meticulous detail that goes into each and every flower.

For example, the felt beaded flower centers (second photo) - are made up of 7 different beads stitched together to form the center. How pretty is that?

And check out what our design team did with all this eye candy.

And we are also excited to share some new trinket trim we are releasing at this show. Check out all these beautiful pom-pom trim.

These trim are some of our favorite at this time . The colors are rich and amazing and the best part is that this trim won't break your piggy bank! The trim will retail for about $0.75 per yard.

Check out the trim as used by our design team on this beautiful ribbon board.
