Karen Foster Design
Karen Foster Design has been busy creating heaps of new products for scrapbookers. Their customers asked for it, so they provided! At CHA 2005 in February, they released several new products and designs that you’re sure to love!
Themed Paper, Stickers, and Overlays
Known for their theme-oriented products, these ten new lines are a direct response to customer requests. The hard-to-find themes that affect so many of our lives are finally available. Following you through the special events that shape your life, the new themes include: Baby’s First, On Stage, Spring, At the Dance, Graduation, Running, Travel, Military, Maternity, and Wedding.

While each line has an obvious theme, several of the coordinating papers are extremely versatile and can be used to remember nearly any event of your life. Stretch your imagination and adapt the themes to fit your scrapbook. For example, while the Baby’s First line features a baby theme, several of the pages and colors are perfect for a layout about a young boy or even a pet. Even though she’s not in plays or movies, maybe your daughter the drama queen would be the perfect subject for the On Stage line. You can even try using the Running papers to create a layout about how sometimes your life FEELS like a marathon!
Each themed line includes coordinating patterned papers, a 12” x 12” transparency overlay with theme-specific quotes and phrases, as well as cardstock stickers to match the theme.
Embellishments Available 5/05
Paper certainly isn’t all that Karen Foster has cooked up this spring. They’ve also added to their popular embellishment lines of Squishies, Gel Theme Sets, Gel Slides and Trim, Simple Charms, Epoxy Alphabets and Enamel Charms.
Brand new to their line are the License Plate stickers made to coordinate with the Travel line of papers. Also new are the Military Twill Tape & Patches that coordinate with the new Military line.
Storage
Last but not least, Karen Foster Design has worked to put together a way to store and tote all these fun new products with their new storage system.
The Fold-n-Go is a foldable canvas storage tote that includes a hanger at the top, so it can easily be hung on the back of a door or from a hook on a wall for easy access. When you need to take it with you, it folds up nicely into a briefcase sized tote. The Fold-n-Go dimensions are 13" x 13" x 6 1/2" folded and 13" x 50" opened. It includes five clear pouches: 1 extra large, 1 large, 1 medium and 2 small as well as the Expandable File.
Also new is the SeatCase rolling tote. You can carry all your essentials in one compact tote. The frame of the SeatCase is so sturdy that it has a built-in seat that can hold up to 300 pounds! The SeatCase also features a retractable handle for easy rolling, double wheels for stairs, a small handle for easy lifting, ample room for multiple storage pouches and is conveniently sized to fit in an airplane overhead compartment. For scrapbookers who need to free up their hands, the removable storage bag has hidden backpack straps.
Several storage accessories can be intermixed between the Fold-n-Go and the SeatCase to help you create your own custom design that fits your storage needs. Clear, removable, zippered pouches in several sizes, an expandable file for 12” x 12” paper, and a collapsible 12” x 12” storage bin are a few of the accessories that will help you store your stuff.
It is clear that Karen Foster is looking to their customers to help them decide what new products to create. They’re meeting needs of scrapbookers from all different angles through hard-to-find themes, fun coordinating embellishments and even a way to store it all in one place!
