Vintage Style Jewelry & Alice in Wonderland

Oooooh! Before I mention anything else, look at the lovely article in the Summer Issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry by our Design Team Member Lynn Stevens! Two etched metal pendants (using the Angels we have heard on high... Rubber Stamp Set as a mask) are featured in the article (one is shown at left).

2 New items from Lynn's Pendants:
- Antique Brass Filigree - 5 Loops
- Antique Brass Leaves

See this blog post about the article for more info on the other goodies Lynn used on the pendants.

Rejuvenated Jewels Book
Beautiful eye-candy! I spent quite some time pouring over the pages. Lots of ideas for re-using old and/or broken jewelry (mixed with some new findings) to create gorgeous one-of-a-kind vintage styles.

Lucite Trumpet Flowers
Beautiful, matte lucite flowers in deep colors:
- Cranberry
- Violet
- Evening Blue
- Gold
- Teal

Earrings by Design Team Member Teri Calia

Oval Mini Bracelet Links & Glass Cabs
Gold-, copper-, or silver-plated cast pewter. 14x10mm inside dimension. Single or double loops.

And matching glass cabochons in clear, sapphire, topaz, amethyst or garnet (a beautiful dark red that was hard to capture).

5 Antique Brass Pendant Sets
(All with glass; some with necklace chain included; round, rectangle and diamond shapes.)

Ornate Chain
Looks great when paired with other vintage brass chains (like the Textured Cable Chain shown in the sample).

And in honor of all these new jewelry books & findings, these are

Cathedral Beads

and

Antiqued Copper-Plated Hammered Chain

Alice in Wonderland

Wonderland Tea Scrap Sheet
Double-sided cardstock, printed with lots of images of Alice, the tea party, teacups, the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. Perfect for gift tags or collage.

Tea with Alice Clear Stamp Set
6" x 8" set with 29 separate stamps. The story characters, along with many small accent stamps and sentiments, such as "it's a very important date' and "it's an un-birthday party', are perfect for creating scenes on your projects. Many of the characters can 'hold' things like the tea tray, cake or teapot.

Tea Party Wood Flourishes
Fun, laser-cut designs (2 teacups, 2 teapots). 4 separate pieces. 1/16" thick masonite.

Tea Pot Chipboard Album
8 pages on a chain. The front and back pages are die-cut (with the same teacups, teabag & teaspoons designs) so after you pop them out you'll have 6 pages to use as a book (or a bunch of die-cut teapots).

Approx. 7-1/4" x 4-1/2".

Tiny Chipboard Houses & Mini House Board Book Kit
The Tiny Chipboard Houses are 1/8" thick chipboard. Just 7/8" x 7/8". Shown in the sample at right (as a little hinged door) by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel.

The Mini House Board Book Kit (far right) is an adorable little kit to put together a hinged accordion book (tiny! could be a Christmas tree ornament if you created a latch or tied it shut with a ribbon & bow). Four pages with hinging tape and instructions included. 1/8" chipboard. 2" x 2"

Prong Frames w/Acrylic Inserts
Perfect size for inchies! (1" x 1".) Acrylic inserts come with a protective paper covering that is easily peeled off. Artwork shown is just as example (not included in w/the frames... but it is from the Pendants: Multiple Sizes/Shapes collage sheet. Prongs are easily bent with needle-nose pliers. 2 per package (2 prong frames + 2 pre-cut clear acrylic inserts)

Shakespeare Printed Cloth Tabs & Tapes
Both are kind of like white first-aid tape (in weight/texture). The die-cut fabric tabs coordinate with the Shakespeare tapes (the blue line shown is just the cutline - it's not printed on the tabs).

For the Printed Cloth Tapes, each sheet has seven approx. 5/8" wide designs (12-1/2" of each). (Approximately 5/8" as a couple designs on each sheet is slightly narrower.)
