Jillibean Soup Bean Talk: CHA

CHA Sneak Peek #6 -- Jillibean Soup/Sizzix

Today we have our final sneak peek at our CHA releases that we are releasing this week. The final one is from our partner - Sizzix.

We are releasing new Framelits dies with stamps, Thinlits, Bigz Dies and Textured Impressions Embossing Folders.

So, which one is your favorite?! I think my favorite is File Folder with die with the stamps. I like how you can stamp the top of the file folder tab in a different color and then stamp a sentiment on the tab. That makes this set very flexible!

Leave us a comment below for a chance to WIN IT BEFORE YOU CAN BUY IT!

Are you going to be at CHA? Stop by booth #831! We'll be happy to show you around!

Have a great one!

CHA Sneak Peek #5 -- Saffron Yellow Pepper Soup

Happy Monday! Today begins CHA week for us. We are wrapping things up here before we all head out to California for CHA. YAY! But, before we go, we have a few more things to share with you!

Today we have a peek for you of our 2nd paper line for CHA Winter -- Saffron Yellow Pepper Soup! This line is full of spunky, funk and BLACK! Jillibean Soup has very little black in our paper lines so this is a bit different for us. We hope you enjoy this energetic line!

Again we have the great basics -- 6x6 paper pad, Pea Pod Parts (die-cuts), coordinating sticker sheets and the new wood veneers.

What do you think? I personally love it! The sequins paper is my favorite!

Tomorrow we have a bit more to share with you before we head out. Make sure you stop back! Also, I will be sharing some behind the scenes shots on our Instagram and Facebook pages.

Have a great one!

CHA Sneak Peek #4 -- Happy Hues

Introducing an addition the perfect addition to our Jillibean Soup product family -- Happy Hues acrylic paint.

If you're Happy and you know it clap your hands!!! <clap> <clap>

In the past year we have added Stencils to our stamps and our new Mix the Media line. Happy Hues are a natural addition to be used in conjunction with these great products. Of course, in all of our regular Jillibean colors!!

Did you read through the names of the paints? Of course Jill got creative with them. Amiable Aqua is my favorite.

These paints can be used on so many different surfaces. They are nice and thick so they spread on with great color and coverage, perfect for creating with the Mix the Media surfaces. You can water them down a bit if all you want to do is add a whisper of color to a card. Here are a few sneak peeks of some of the projects that we have already created with our new Happy Hues.

What do you think? Wouldn't you love paints to coordinate perfectly with all your Jillibean Soup goodies? (the answer is "YES!") So, leave a comment below on the blog for a chance to WIN THEM BEFORE YOU CAN BUY THEM!!!

We have another peek for you tomorrow... make sure you check back. Also, connect with us on Facebook and Instagram for some behind the scenes and close ups of the new products.

Have a great one!

Free For All Friday!!!

So I'm a bit late getting this post up - I'm a bit tired and traveling today so bear with me. I just ate some yummy ice cream here at the airport so I've got a burst of energy now. ;)

EDIT: Just realized when I was done typing this that it's Thursday and not Friday! That's how tired I am! Oh well, most of you will be reading it on Friday. ;)

Would you like to see more pics of the trip/booth? Before I show them to you, let me tell you that we had horrible lighting in the booth. My booth was facing the opposite direction of what it normally does so I don't know if that was part of it or because we were just in a poorly lighted area. The pics I took of set-up are not so hot so I only have one to share :(. Anyhow, it's still fun to see what's going on - especially if you're not able to attend.

Pictures start with the flight - Kimber took this out our window on the flight out to Orange County. Did you know there's a big crater somewhere in Arizona? ;)
