As most of you know, last week was the huge Craft and Hobby Association Show. I was lucky enough to attend and get a chance to “sneak a peek” at many of the products that will show up soon on your store’s shelves. As a trend watcher, I was excited to see arrows, watercolors, mint green, and nautical motifs showing up full force at the show. Today, I want to share what I call a “mini-trend” with you.
I think of a “mini-trend” as something you will see a sprinkling of throughout the show. It may not be as big as washi tape, but it has its own little niche in our paper-crafting world.
I saw constellation patterned paper and horses as two small, upcoming trends at CHA, but my favorite was the pie chart. Here are some examples.
The adorable paper on the right is a cross between pie chart and quilt pattern (it’s part of the new Lily Bee Sweet Shoppe collection).
This next one is a template by The Crafter’s Workshop. I really want to get my hands on the 6″ X 6″ size!
This last one is a paper I DID get my hands on (Thanks, Jillibean Soup). Can you spot the pie chart journaling block?
I could hardly wait to get home and create this card.
Just too much fun. Now, keep your eyes open and maybe you’ll spot a “mini-trend” as you peruse all the CHA blog posts sprouting up online. I just love this time of year.
Happy trend hunting!

Thanks for sharing. Love your colourful card.
I like the pie chart too, I want it too…stencils are so much fun. Your card is so cute.
Paper and templates look wonderful! What a great treat to be able to go to that show!!!
All this looks so gorgeous.I´m so jealous on all you girls, that you were able to run around all these stunning new things for several days, and I really would love to get to try that some day too LOL. It must be heaven to surf around among all these amazing new stuff, where ever you were looking? But thanks so much to all of you for all you´re sharing with us here, that is the second best, as we unfortunately can´t get in there to see it ourself SIGH. Everything is just absolutely awesome.
Fun new products, TFS, Kim!
That is adorable. I’ll take a rainbow in any shape or form! Whatup with the horses??? Where’d that come from? DD will love it.
I’d be on sensory overload at a place like CHA!!!! I’ve enjoyed the looks at the upcoming products and trends and am loving the pie charts. The card you made is so vibrant and fun. Thanks, Kim.
Pie charts remind me of work!
Horses? Really? I don’t get it. But I am seeing the pie charts everywhere. And, I don’t really get them either. Reminds me of 8th grade math….which I didn’t particularly enjoy. I’m glad it’s a mini trend….maybe I can ignore it. Your card, however, is super happy and cute…just like you!
I’m very excited about the constellations and horses!!!!!!!! Love your card!!
My go to right now are rosettes. Love making them
Love how bright and cheery your card is. And thanks for sharing more peeks from CHA. Looks like you had a great time.
Fab card. It might be a mini trend now but not sure it will stay that way!!
