One of the new releases garnering a lot of attention is French General, a collection of dies for organizing  beads, buttons, needles and notions. French General is a vintage craft store/workshop located in Los Angeles, California, specializing in beads, buttons, millinery and textiles reminiscent of the rural French countryside with a red/white/blue palette on display.

The beach/ocean themed displays were spectacular too!

Aren’t the Adirondack chair and camper dies fantastic?

@cdnscrapbooker #sizzix

The Eclips2 and its accessory toolkit were on display.  If you are considering an electronic cutting machine, check out Connie Nichol’s tutorial series with the Eclips2 on our blog.

There are some wonderful new tools and die cutting accessories released too!

There is a new Precision Base plate, handy for those intricate wafer-thin dies.

@cdnscrapbooker #sizzix

One of the best improvements I saw in the booth was the new cutting pads!  COLOUR!! So you don’t lose those clear acrylic pads in the mess on your studio desk (well, ummmm, at least I do!)

@cdnscrapbooker #sizzix

There is also a new Extended Magnetic Platform.

@cdnscrapbooker #sizzix

Love the idea of this unique embossing folder called a “Shadowpress Station”!

@cdnscrapbooker #sizzix

A totally fun new product are these Ink Sheets, to be used for a letterpress effect with your dies, embossing folders or even your own handwriting!
