from our workshop: cha winter sneak peek #3

We apologize for the delay in our posts - we had such a great and busy time at the CHA Winter trade show....

we know you've been patiently waiting to see more and here you go gypsies!

introducing the Trousseau collection

a few of the inspiration boards for our newest collection

lots of soft colors and textured surfaces

mixed patterns, photos, found book pages and fine laces

vintage patterns and papers

hand tinted and sepia photos~ many came from our own personal archives!

we flipped when we found trousseau in the dictionary~ we couldn't think of a better name for this collection.  do you agree?

Lots of fun patterns, drawings and vintage photos on the front of these designs, with classic vintage patterns on the back

you can really see how the soft tones and color blend together in these 2 designs.  and we LOVE the strawberry on the top of the "always" paper

Love love love the vintage photos covering the back of "grace"~ lots of fun images to work with in your mixed media designs.

all papers are available in 8x8 and the ever so popular 6x6 designs

coordinating clear stamp (the strawberry!)

and paper tapes.

collection and alphabet stickers

DARLING printed scalloped tags

and naked versions as well for stamping and altering

these are simply delicious little envelopes to tuck the scalloped tags inside or your own mini masterpieces inside of

and finally ANOTHER Tattered Angels paint system, custom formulated just for the 7gypsies Trousseau collection...

old pages glam, mercury glass glaze, silk glimmer mist and sterling glimmer mist.

Check back Thursday for more fun new release items!!

from our workshop: cha winter sneak peek #2

The journey through the postale collection continues... we have SO many new products that are part of this collection!!

A fun new clear stamp along with 3 new papertape designs.  Now if you haven't tried our papertape yet, you MUST.  It is NOT washi tape, it is paper tape~ it actually works like tape AND looks great too!

And 2 new stickers~ a classic black alphabet and a MUST have collection sticker.

These "tags" also double as cute journaling cards and inserts for the new tag envelopes!  SO darn cute in a 2.5"x 2.5" size.  (you'll want to wallpaper your craft room with these when you see them)

These envelopes are made to fit the new tag inserts and are CUTE (we just can't say it enough)

What is also FABULOUS about these new envelopes and inserts is that they fit perfectly in our mini library drawer and the artist printers tray!

Here's a beautiful project showing the mini library drawer stuffed with the new postale inserts & envelopes.

Next up are the index inserts.  These are made to fit our the new index envelopes (below)  These are a great size for journaling and cards.

We also just had to throw in a naked version of the index cards~ create your own design by stamping, inking, collaging and journaling on these!  AND they have a scalloped edge!

The index envelopes are designed to fit the index inserts.  At 6"x5" they'll also hold photos and fit perfectly in our Librarie Drawer!

And since we've got lots of fun new goodies to fit the librarie drawer, we figured that every gypsy needed a new set of Librarie Drawer tabs to complete a fun librarie drawer project.  Check out the project below!

And.....

New 7gypsies/ Tattered Angles Paint system!!

We were so excited to get to formulate and design our own custom 7gypsies paint system with Tattered Angels.  It coordinates with the Postale collection and has a bit of everything~ glam, glaze, glimmer mist & chalkboard mist!!

Are you excited to play with these???

Check back Tuesday for a look at the new Trousseau collection!!

Favorite Things

If you are a gypsy girl then you know how much we love a good Top Ten list. We also wanted to post some of our products from CHA summer. So we have decided to combined the two and everyday for the next 10 days we will post one of our favorite things that was released at the show in Chicago in preparation for the product arriving in the stores this month. The actual product should be flowing into the warehouse in about a week, so you won't have to wait long now...Enjoy!

1. Five NEW 97% complete stickers:
Can you believe it! FIVE new ones to spur your creative mind. Did you know you can make a complete journal with just one 97% complete sticker? They each have a large sticker for the cover, small and medium stickers for pages, sticker strips for edges and tabs for sections. (The stickers are hard to read online so we have given you a snippet of text from the sticker strips)
