It’s almost time for me to head out to Southern California for the CHA trade show! I’m crossing my fingers for 72 and sunny (or better yet, 80 and sunny!) because all the snow in the Midwest is starting to wear on me. Not only am I excited for the warmer weather, but I’m also getting excited to scope out the latest and greatest products from my favorite manufacturers! And I bet y’all are getting excited to see what we’ll come back with!

In the meantime, we went a little crazy clearing space on our shelves! We now have over 100 products in our What’s the Deal Department discounted 30% – 70%! When these items are gone, they’re gone… so don’t wait! There’s something for everyone! Are you a patterned paper collector? Find several packs for just $2.37 each. Or maybe you’re a ribbon hoarder? Find new ribbons to hoard as low as 15 cents a yard!

Even though we haven’t been to CHA, we already have some exciting new things to share with you! We know that many of our crafty friends also love to be in the kitchen (and that includes me!). Whether you’re a cook, a baker, or a “mostly eat take out” papercrafter, it seems that just about everyone loves a pretty apron. We’re excited to bring you a new selection of one-of-a-kind handmade aprons! On the 20th of each month we’ll add a half dozen new aprons to the TE Store. When you see one you like, grab it! At only $23.95 each, these unique aprons are a steal! Our initial offering is available in the TE Apparel Department now.

If you’ve been shopping our patterned paper collections recently, you may have noticed something new. TE is proud to present Cardstock Companions! We’re known for our kits and coordinating products and we want to make sure you have just what you need on hand when you sit down to stamp. With so many beautiful paper collections available, it can be an overwhelming task to figure out cardstock matches for all the patterned paper you want to purchase. So we’ve created Cardstock Companions, a simple system to provide you with the best matches from among the Prismatics & Canvas collection by Bazzill Basics. Single colors of cardstock are available in 10 sheet packs making it affordable to get the colors you need.

We currently have Cardstock Companions available for eight different patterned paper collections (including the brand new Echo Park Little Girl collection!) and we’ll be continually adding more as time goes on. There are two way to use this service:

1. Click here to visit our Cardstock Companions page to see all of the collections we currently have matched for you.

2. As you click on items in our Patterned Paper Department, you will see the Cardstock Companions listed under the photo of the patterned paper. From there you can visit our Cardstock Department and add as many single colors to your cart as you want.

We hope you find this to be a useful tool for your papercrafting! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
