I thought it would be fun if we did some predictions for winter CHA. (I know it's called something else now but I forget what, plus I think more people know what CHA means.) I've started to see some peeks show up on social media. It will be interesting to see how accurate our predictions are after CHA!
A lot of holographic foil, this seems to be a huge trend in other areas right now (also I saw Heidi Swapp sneak a picture of holographic planners)
I think the letterboard trend will continue to be hot (as started by Letterfolk and continued by Heidi Swapp and DCWV)
Wacky animal and food motifs for all American Crafts lines
Handmade specialty papers seem to be coming back in vogue, at least in cardmaking
More layering die and stencil sets
Lettering specific products (both American Crafts and Ranger have recently come out with lines to support this)
What predictions do you have?

Emoji
Rose gold metallic/foil
Boho/Aztec style motifs
Tassels
I'd love to see something political, but I don't predict that it will happen.

More layering: stamps, stencils, dies
I hope some new colours: greens and purples maybe?
Would love to see mulberry paper

Would love to see mulberry paper It will be interesting to see if there is a big push for purple with it being the color of the year, since it is such a hard to find color otherwise it seems. But not sure how quickly that will show up if it was just put out there recently (right?). |

New Distress Oxide colors 6x8 paper pads layering dies I think it will be interesting to see if 6x8 really becomes a bigger product category. Paper pads like you said (would love that), wider spine options from more than SC, etc. I know Ali Edwards has started doing 6x8 layouts in her personal albums, wonder if that will become more popular instead of the size just being primarily a pocket page thing. |

I think you are right about your predictions. I've noticed that the embellishments are just getting flatter, so I think that trend will continue. I think there will be fewer embellishments included in the lines. I noticed some new lines have only paper, stickers, and ephemera packs. It seems that the other embellishments are disappearing. Except in AC lines, they still seem to be doing dimensional and various different types of embellishments.
I do think the lettering trend will continue and I wonder if 6x8 pads will become the new 6x6 or not.

My wishes are: rustless flair (maybe no metal on the back) I noticed my OA Christmas flair has started developing brown spots on it  Just an idea. I would really like more navy blue. It's a color I use a lot and never have enough of. I also would love more purple the color of the year. I do scrap with it when I can find it... What will probably be popular this year : aqua, pink and gold with white backgrounds because well AC owns everything and those are their colors. Anyone have a prediction on the Amy Tan animal of the year? Possums haven't been done yet... |

Anyone have a prediction on the Amy Tan animal of the year? Possums haven't been done yet... Armadillos with snow cones! I hope 6x8 pads become more plentiful. I like that size a lot. I’d love to see more holo too! Actual holographic...not iridescent. That would be so lovely! Happy sigh at the thought. |

I would LOVE to see 6x8 pads. I just bought 2 for a project but then so many of the AC are 6x6 and that just doesn't work for me. So much waste.
I think/hope the ampersand and 'best day ever' type text will be going away and replaced with more diverse phrases.
Also, lucite/acrylic is hot and I can see that being popular.

While there are lots of llamas showing up here and there, they haven't been done to death yet. I predict there will be even more llamas, along with cacti and desert-type themes.

Mulberry and handmade papers would be awesome. So would llamas actually.

Yah, llamas are everywhere so they'll show up at CHA, I think. I predict tons of sticker books and maybe more things related to stitching (maybe paper with holes for stitching or thread lines). I think rub-ons are due for a big comeback.

New Distress Oxide colors 6x8 paper pads layering dies This card maker would love 6x8 pads. I can get 2 4x5-1/4 layering pieces out of a 6x8 piece of paper but only 1 (with a lot of waste) out of the 6x6 size. |

Lol lilacgal, armadillos with snow cones! It would be nice if more navy accents showed up. It's such a trend in decor it would make sense. I love love the idea of handmade papers coming back. Could jute and Twistel be far behind? |

Possums haven't been done yet...  I just nearly choked on my coffee. No thanks. Possums are a huge pest in New Zealand. They're decimating our native forests, carry TB which can affect cattle and eat the eggs and young of our native birds, many of which are flightless. |

I’d love to see more holo too! Actual holographic...not iridescent. That would be so lovely! Happy sigh at the thought. Yes! Have you heard about people being "holosexual"? It's a thing started by a Youtuber. It's pretty funny. And she is also upset when people categorize iridescent things as holo. |

Funny story, for the longest time when I got into papercrafting, I'd hear people talk about how 6x6 paper pads were perfect for cardmakers. I did not get it at all because if I tried to make a card out of 6x6 paper it ended up being super small. Finally on one of the old Two Peas videos someone showed how they just used it on top of a card base and my mind was blown! (Side note: I have such nostalgia for that awesome year of Two Peas where they had new video content every day of the week. That was a huge motivator!) |

I love holo polish more than any other and could possibly admit to being a holosexual. Shifting rainbows FTW! Another happy sigh...and I think I’ll need to find my green holo polish for my nails this week! |

I always understood how the 6x6 patterns would be good for card makers. However, now that I make cards it totally frustrates me how much waste there is! OMG! I’m using my 6x6 pads more now for my scrapbook pages. 6x8 would be even more perfect for since you could get two cards out of it or layer with a 4x6 photo without having to trim the photo or use “creative” methods to make it look like your paper is larger. Do you hear us scrap companies?! 6x8 pads would rock! ...and 6x8 pads with holo? I’d faint from happiness. 😁 |

Just an idea.
