American Crafts and Elizabeth Kartchner reveals Dear Lizzy

.

American Crafts and scrapbooker Elizabeth Kartchner announces Dear Lizzy, the first product line from the company created in conjunction with a guest designer.

The spring-themed Dear Lizzy line adds another stellar collection to the American Crafts range of products, providing novice and expert scrapbookers, cardmakers and crafters with fun new products and inspiring materials.

Kartchner is the 2007 Creating Keepsakes Scrapbooker of the Year and author of the recently released book 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges. She worked closely with American Crafts’ design team to produce a line that strikes a balance between American Craft’s clean, vivid shapes and patterns and the decidedly feminine, playful touch of the designer herself.

Kartchner, who also authors a popular blog, says, “I’m so excited to debut our months of hard work on the Dear Lizzy line. I’ve always loved the bright, fresh look of American Crafts, so I knew they’d be the perfect company to help bring these ideas to life.”

The Dear Lizzy line is not only perfect for expressing springtime memories, it can also be used for everyday projects, providing unlimited possibilities for layouts and cards. The line, with its recurring flowers, trees, bicycles and nature motifs, was inspired by the concept of an outdoor tea party. Kartchner and American Crafts have combined indoor and outdoor elements into a fun and fanciful collection.

Included in the Dear Lizzy line are 24 patterned papers – including adhesive-backed fabric paper, a first for American Crafts – along with other new products introduced for the first time like multi-color Thickers accents. Other American Crafts staple items round out the collection with acrylic stamps, Fla!r, Remarks stickers, Minimarks rub-on transfers, multi-layered Details shapes, premium ribbon, House chipboard shapes, glitter buttons, jewel brads and two new Thickers fonts.
