Introducing True Stories... my new collection with American Crafts

true stories collection - scrapbooking & paper craft supplies from shimelle and american crafts

Greetings from sunny California, where the annual CHA trade show is just about to start – and I’m thrilled to be here to release a new collection with American Crafts: True Stories! Over the next week, I’ll be sharing so much about this, from an in-depth look at the products to project ideas and techniques. But today, just a little look to get things started, and a heads up about the chance to win the collection from American Crafts over on Instagram.

True Stories is my interpretation of everyday daydreams: a mix of things that appear most days at home and the odd fantastical notion that makes you look twice. Because when I asked myself what I wanted to see on my desk with my paper and scissors, my literal answer was ‘coffee cups and rocket ships’. I promise we have both for you.

We also have wood veneer border strips for you. With Alice in Wonderland quotes for good measure.

And wooden buttons with happy little centres. No sewing required – ready to stick straight to your project as a lovely little detail.

(That’s with a card from the cut-apart patterned paper and a sticker from the sticker book, which itself is a product I’m irrationally excited about, but I’ll show you that in detail soon.)

And a pack of 4×4 cards, which is such a simple product but something that makes me so happy. Each card is a four inch square, but each design is created so it can be trimmed to 3×4 without losing the image or text, so it doesn’t matter if you want to use a 3×4 or 4×4 pocket, it will work perfectly. They are also handy for cards…

…since they can be dressed up with just a little something to finish a design in minutes.

Don’t miss your chance to win a True Stories prize pack from American Crafts – they are running that opportunity here via Instagram.

With that, I think we’ll get back to preparation for the show – and I’ll be back with more details, projects, and photos throughout the coming week. Thanks for taking a first look at True Stories!
