The Sweet Simplicity Release is here! We took this release to the National Stationery Show with us last week and it was a hit. These shapes are very functional and can be used for all types of crafting. Party throwers, scrapbookers, and general crafters can all find uses for these shapes. 3 new cupcake liner sets, 4 new borders, a few boxes, repeatable circle and square punches... this release provides a great variety!

View and purchase all the shapes here. Orders will ship June 10.

These box projects were made by designer Kami of No Biggie.  The "For You" gift bag is perfect for tucking in some treats for a friend and the popcorn box is perfect for... popcorn!  She actually made 7 of these boxes and spelled out "Popcorn."  Wouldn't that be adorable for a movie night?  

Products used:
"For You" bag: Gift Bag, Nesting Rick Rack Circles, Hello.Goodbye Patterned Paper, Letterpress Starter Kit, Red Ink
Popcorn Box: Popcorn Box, Blue Sky Alphabet

 

Designer Heather Adams made this as part of the decor for a yellow and grey party.  We'll be sharing all the party details later, but wanted to show this portion because we love it so much.  She acutally letterpressed the 'W' and 'S' with the Blossoms Printing Plate and used cardstock for the 'I' and 'H' letters.  Don't you love how she mixed the two?  And aren't the matches a perfect finsihing touch? Very cute.Products used: Wish Folding Card, Letterpress Starter Kit, Blossoms Printing Plate, Grey Ink, Letterpress Paper

 

The Matchbook die is so fun because there are so many project possibilities.  Designer Shaunte Wadley made this charming mini-album full of photos of her kids.  She letterpressed the outside of it, too!  Very creative... I would have never thought to do that.  You could also make tiny invitations, thank-you cards, or even business cards with these dies.  Products used: Matchbooks, Letterpress Starter Kit, Blossoms Printing Plate, Teal Blue Ink, Red Ink, Letterpress Paper

 

This card is so simple and classy and not to mention, easy!  Designer Carissa Wiley came up with this one and we really love it and so did everyone at the show.  The border dies are sized perfectly for A2 card accents.  A very simple way to use the versatile borders.Products used: Trellis, Letterpress Starter Kit, Damask Printing Plate, Black Ink, A2 Flat Card Letterpress Paper

 

Carissa also made this fun wrap.  We stuck it on a soda bottle because we thought it would be cute decor for a party, but you could also use it as a napkin ring. The added label on the front really gives this project a nice finishing touch.Products used: Wraps, A2 Die Collection, Letterpress Starter Kit, Blossoms Printing Plate, Yellow Ink, Grey Ink, Letterpress Paper

 

Caroline Drake made this cute popcorn box.  It could be used as favor or a small gift box for a friend who is expecting.  She cut it out in Kraft Media and then used patterned tape to create the yellow design.  The label is from the Nesting Frames die and she added the sentiment with the Petite Printing Plate.  Great project!Products used: Popcorn Box, Nesting Frames, Kraft Media Chipboard, Letterpress Starter Kit, Pettite Printing Plate, Yellow Ink

 

The jewelry holder!  This is so fun.  Shaunte Wadley decided to take the cupcake stand, combine it with a cupcake liner, and make a jewelry holder out of it.  She simply put small holes in each of the scallops for earrings and left the crown cupcake liner to hold necklaces and bracelets.  Genius idea!Products used: Cupcake Stand, Crown Cupcake LIner

 

These are a few of the cupcake liners in action.  The Rings liner is basic and perfect for birthday parties.  It coordinates with the Rings Border Die and the Bubbly Printing Plate Set.  The Botanical liner is very elegant and perfect for bridal showers, weddings, and baby shower.  Products used: Rings Cupcake Liner, Botanical Cupcake Liner, Happy Birthday Cupcake Liner, Rings Border

 

 

 

And finally a layout!  Shaunte Wadley designed this one and it shows the functionality of the Belly Band Drop Ins.  These coordinate with the All-In-One Belly Band and can be used on a layout, wrap around an apothecary, or belly band for stationery.  She also blind de-bossed the letters with her letterpress tool.  You can't see it well in the scanned image, but it looks fantastic in real life!Products used: All-In-One Belly Band, Tile Belly Band Inserts, Floral Belly Band Inserts, Nesting Frames, Diesel Grand Alphabet, Hello.Goodbye Patterned Paper, Letterpress Starter Kit, Wintertide Printing Plate.
