Howdy friends, Layle back with you again today for Day 2 of our Winter 2014 Reveal Week!
If you missed us yesterday, you can catch the reveal of DIY™ - Design It Yourself here.
Today brings an assortment of new SN@P! products, sure to please! In fact, these are some of my favorite & most useful products we're releasing; products that I know you've been anticipating, based on the comments from the sneak peek on Friday. Hold on to your hats today my friends, you're in for a wild ride!
Yesterday you saw the new burlap stickers and today brings you more burlap, in the form of Burlap SN@P! Albums in teal, red and black!!
If you're not familar with our original core SN@P! Albums, we released them a few years ago and they've been a staple among scrapbookers and crafters ever since. The popular 6x8 size in 7 colors, complete with 10 Pocket Pages, journal pages and chipboard dividers has been one of our most popular Simple Stories products, so it only made sense to introduce the latest and greatest SN@P! Binders, now in burlap!
The bold pattern and colors coordinate perfectly with DIY™ - Design It Yourself from yesterday! Of course, the new burlap albums include your standard inserts like 6x8 Pocket Pages, Journal Pages and Chipboard Dividers, even better - we've also mixed it up a bit by including new die cut pages and a Kraft envelope!
Do you Instagram?! We do! If you're not following us, now's a good time to start! You can follow us at simplestories_ for behind the scenes photos I'll be sharing as we prepare for the Craft and Hobby Association Mega Show later this week where we'll showcase all of our new products to retailers. We also have some giveaways going on over there too.
(Ok, you're probably asking yourself why I brought up Instagram in the middle of our Reveal Day 2 post, right?! Stick with me, it'll make sense in just a second.)
Speaking of Instagram, did you know research shows there are more than 100 MILLION active Instagram users? If you're one of them, you're most likely familar with, and scrapping, square photos. And that my friends brings me to our next new SN@P! product - 6x8 Insta Pocket Pages in 5 designs, perfect for your Instagram photos!
It's hip to be square with our new Insta Pocket Pages! And hey, did you know that our existing, as well as these new 6x8 Pocket Pages also fit perfectly in our 12x12 albums? You can catch a quick video on that here!
Now that we have these handy, dandy new Insta Pocket Pages to accomodate your 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 square photos, how about a new TOOL to help you quickly & easily crop your photos to those fun insta sizes?
Introducing Photo Crops -
It's as easy as 1, 2, .... - heck, who needs 3! Simply overlay the heavy, translucent plastic template over your photo and trim! Our new Photo Crops include templates in 5 popular photo sizes - 4x6, 3x4, 4x4, 3x4, 3x3 and 2x2 - all in one convenient package :)
Next up - you're gonna flip over our new Photo Flips!!
Photo Flips enable you to quickly and easily add additional photos and/or cards to your Life Documented/Pocket Page spreads. Simply insert a photo or card in the pocket, remove the adhesive strip and adhere to the top of your 6x8 or 12x12 Pocket Pages. Available in 3 popular sizes - 3x4, 4x4 and 4x6 - you'll FLIP over our new Photo Flips!
Speaking of photos, how about these new Clear Photo Stickers?
Jazz up your photos with our new Clear Photo Stickers, available in black and white!
Last up for today is more photo goodness with our new 3x4 and 4x6 Photo Overlays!
Simply add the transparent, printed overlay to the top of your 3x4 or 4x6 photo for that little extra something something!
PHEW! That is quite a bit of new SN@P! goodness, if I do say so myself! The new SN@P! products begin shipping to retailers mid March. I know I'm counting down the days, how about you?
