CHA Recap!

I'm home from CHA and I have a ton to report! Prima's new release is AWESOME! They have a ton of papers, brads, ribbons, stamps, flowers and other new things coming out. They've really branched out to expand their line and I can say that I'll be proud to offer their new, diverse line.

So, without further ado, the pictures! I took a TON so this will be packed. Hopefully this will spark your appetite for all their great new stuff! And we ordered a vast majority of the new line!

Click on any picture to enlarge it.

The corner of the booth and what I referred to as "the Wall of Bling!" Prima has a plethora of new bling coming out and this shows just a fraction of it! We ordered a lot of it!


Here are a couple close ups of the bling on that wall:


Also in that picture check out the bucket FULL of white flowers on the shelf under the bling on the far right. Very cool and great for your elegant and light projects!







They also have 7 new paper lines coming soon, including a new set of paintables paper! We ordered all 7 lines in their entirety! Here are a few of them!






Each paper line also has a ton of embellishments to coordinate. Here are the "DUDE" embellishments.




They've also got a line of Transparency Overlays on their way in both 12x12 and 6x6 sizes. We ordered most of these, too!



These ones are shown colored in but this was done by Prima's designers. In their original form, the designs are black and clear, allowing you to customize them with color any way you'd like.


Prima also released an extensive felt line, including the Voila Collection. Here's a sampling of it! Some of this will be on their way to us, too!


And then they had a TON of samples and ideas featuring their new products so I was sure to snap pictures of them so that you could see how great this new stuff is!

This book is adorable and showcases the new Angelique line. Check out the great flowers and embellishments next to and behind the book, too!


This layout and the book below show off the Harmony Line!




They've got some great new chipboard and journaling products available, too, as showcased by these adorable books!







One of their largest releases is a line of clear acrylic products including shapes and books, in addition to the transparency sheets. These are some great projects from the Prima DT showcasing how versatile these projects are! Don't worry, we've also ordered a full line of pens, inks and other mediums to use ON the clear pages!













This also shows off another felt product (along with some new flowers!), laid on top of a clear page.



We've also got layouts galore, featuring a host of different products!


















Phew! That's it! We're now safely back and will jump back in to the full swing of things tomorrow, catching up on orders and emails placed during our absence! We hope you enjoyed the preview and you can be sure that the greatest variety of the latest and greatest Prima products will be available at Cafe Prima as SOON as they're available!!

CHA Sneak Peek **UPDATED**

Updated February 7, 2008
Prima continued to add more product last night so we're going to give you a few more sneak peeks before we go.

I must say I'm a bit bummed to see the decreased size of the Essentials but I LOVE the new colors and patterns!




It's been a long time since Prima released new leaves! These new ones include patterns! This is one of several styles.


This DUDE paper is so cute and a nice addition to Prima's traditionally more feminine line.


They did indeed add a few more colors to the Collage line shown below in the brown tube


And Prima has released TONS of new clear stamps at this show. This is just one of my favorites:


They also released a ton of new bling. How cute are these for summer?

***********
A little birdy told us that Prima is releasing almost 500 new products at CHA this weekend! We can't wait to be there to see them in person!

Until then though, here's a little sneak peek!

These come in several monochromatic color packs:



They also come in carnations, also available in multiple colors:


So far this is the only color of these shown but I hope they add more!


These come in a TON of fabulous new colors!


They've also released 4 new brad collections. We had to have them all!


These are felt letter stickers--available in a few fonts and a plethora of colors.


From what we gather, these are 6x6 squares that you can use for matting, piecing and collaging. They're made of felt and each package contains 3 sheets of the same design-one in each of the colors shown. We can't wait to see what these are like in person. Several designs and two different color sets are available





It's hard to tell from this picture but these are textured in a whole bunch of new designs and they look too fun!


This are two of MANY fabulous new paper lines from Prima




We'll have a CHA report when we get back on Tuesday!
