Next up: relative newcomer TaDa Creative Studios, with clean, cute designs.

Frozen Tozen is their new winter and Christmas line, with snowy tones of blue mixed with muted reds and greens. Check out the clever sticker sheet in the bottom right corner there: if you like stickers on cards, this is perfect as you wouldn’t need to buy five sheets of stickers to make five matching cards. Also useful for cropping with friends, making repeated embellishments or class kits.

A closer look at some of the Frozen Tozen papers and some samples to show the line in action. This colour scheme was really unique at the show, as most of the Christmas collections were either bold red and green or the alternative hot pink and turquoise. If you like a bit a country tone to your Christmas, there’s a lot of potential here.

I also wanted to show you this Christmas collection – Jolly Holly Days – even though it’s not actually new. This was their 2010 Christmas collection, but I hadn’t seen it so it was new to me. The reason I like it is it would coordinate well with many older Christmas collections – AC Merrymint and the Elsie Christmas Collection for starters. I love it when you can breathe new life into existing stash by adding just a little something. So if you have lots of the cute-styled Christmas stash in your collection, give this a thought.

Fringe Benefits is a cardstock collection with fringed edges. Comes in various sizes and colours for a different texture to your papercrafting. They showed plenty of page examples, but I think this product would come into its own on cards.

Goody Two Shoes – a girly line celebrating pink hearts, cute dresses and fashionable footwear.

BFF is a teen girl line with an Indian-inspired paisley pattern.

But my favourite explanation of a line was Just Chillin’: It’s a teen boy line. But you know, without skateboards. Perfect way to sell it. (Because really, have you noticed that the scrapbook design world seems to think if you’re male and 13 to 19, you must spend the majority of your time jumping about on a board with wheels? It’s uncanny.)
