CHA Winter 2012 :: Dear Lizzy Neapolitan
After three collections in 2010 but nothing new in 2011, a new addition to the Dear Lizzy + American Crafts partnership is a bit exciting. It’s one of the first collections from the entire show to hit stores, as it’s shipping straight away, and it’s filled with watercolour washes, ice cream cones and well… Thickers. Of course.
And a rolling date stamp that includes a selection of sweet phrases to accompany the date, larger word embellishments that could also work for party decor, two smaller flat alphabets and paper rosettes.
Two sets of clear stamps include a camera and bunting flags in one set and a jar to fill with wishes in the other. (Or if not wishes, your choice of hearts, stars, flowers or strawberries. Same thing.)
My favourite is probably the sticker book – I love these in every AC collection and use them to the very last sticker. And the ribbon card includes sequins!
Printed chipboard collection is quite delish!
One of the paper releases is a ruffle paper – 12×12 with several ruffles of crepe paper attached to the background. It can be used on its own as a 12×12 sheet or cut apart to create separate ruffles, ready to be added to any project with just standard adhesive. (It also looks very nice stitched!)
Oh, the window dressing here! So lovely! So making me want to sit down for a tea party on a blanket in the middle of the aisle. But unfortunately, that sort of things is generally frowned upon at the trade show. Also, I did not bring a tea pot. So that plan is ruined quite quickly and instead I just looked at the pages and took plenty of photos.
Including a couple of Liz(zy) herself, of course. It’s only polite!
