Creativation 2018 is finished and we are all heading back home! Months and months of new ideas, creative processes, product development and design, changes and last-minute fixes, booth designing, painting, preparation, project planning and designing, picking displays, sales planning, meeting upon meeting, packing, shipping, traveling, set-up, and then, opening day.
There are so many facets that go into planning and executing a successful booth set-up and reveal! We could not be more proud of every one who helped us with the Prima 2018 booth at Creativation! It was truly a global effort and we are so humbled to have received this amazing Critic's Choice Award from Creativation for best booth design!
Pom, our CEO, and Denny, our Event Coordinator and Booth Designer, were both very instrumental in getting the new booth designed and ready in time! But, they say it takes a village...and Prima truly has a global village behind it's name! Not everyone is shown here, but this is a great snapshot of the diverse talent Prima offers to the home decor, papercraft, mixed-media, watercolor, and planner/TJ worlds.
Now, are you ready to embark on a virtual tour of our booth for all of those who did not attend?
Our booth showcases so many of our own products in action, along with upcycled elements: from a shipping container which acts as a mini office/lounge area, and also doubles to hold and transport everything in the booth, to our own "cutting mat" floor, to other design elements through-out the booth, all created from products we manufacture.Here you can see the left side of the booth, with the right side below.
Sometimes you just need a signature project to welcome everyone. To truly show the versatility of our papers, metals, and flowers, Candy Rosenberg created this gorgeously-detailed dress form!
redesign with prima
Hello, DIYers! Everyone has a home. Now is the time to put your own personal touch on it! Whether you want to stencil, add a transfer, stamp, or add moulds to upcycled furniture, the whole re-design selection will have what you need! Look for more information about these fabulous products soon!
Our booth had lots of hands-on demos going on each day! THANK YOU to all of our amazing team (Riikka, Luciana, Keren) who put so many hours in demoing our products!
art philosophy
Art Philosophy - this line includes our popular Watercolor Confections, Metallic Accents, Graphite Sticks, Color Philosophy Inks, Waterbrushes, and more!
Here are most of our Watercolor Confection palettes in one place...including three new ones: Woodlands, Complexion, and Essence! (Available in February!)
BUT, that's not all! We also introduced a NEW Metallic Accents in Pastels! Since the production of the Celestial Confections palette was giving us a few problems we revised the formula and came up with something even better!
PLUS, can you spot our new Color Philosophy Ink refills + new permanent inks? These are both going to be game-changers. Use the refills to freshen up your water-soluble CP inks, or use to splash color directly on your project.
The new permanent inks add a necessary component to watercoloring and stamping as the ink stays put when you color over it! Two Color Philosophy Ink choices, each with amazing properties.
julie nutting
Julie always brings new paper doll stamps and dies that are simply brilliant! This show Julie added four new designs, Emmy Lou, Scarlett, Bree, and Ava, along with new papers, ephemera, crystals, and embellies! Creating fun tags and cards has never been so easy.
finnabair
Finnabair is the mixed-media queen and her products follow suit by helping you create the most stunning projects! Just look at the gorgeous array of Impasto Paints in the Art Alchemy line-up!
memory hardware
Frank's Memory Hardware line includes everything you would ever need for beautiful mini-albums + more! His new shutters open up so many possibilities for altered items, fun home decor pieces, and fabulous album toppers.
Catch us again tomorrow as we wrap up our Creativation tour with four new collections + our PTJ and paper line!
I love everything in this post! Can't wait to see more of the new collections <3 Congrats on the award!

Congrats on the award. Much deserved. There is so much talent in Prima, and I guess that’s to be expected. It’s the great personalities of everyone at prima that warms the heart along with loving the product. Thanks Prima!
