Shiny New Trims! A Venetian Theatre & Carnival Masks
Filed under Caroline Ouzts-Hay, Nichola Battilana, Paper Theatres Kit, Pierrot/Harlequin/Carnival
It’s almost Mardi Gras, which inspired me to source some bright & shiny trims. And to revisit a Venetian Theatre and some beautiful Carnival Masks (and I also created a sale collection from the supplies from both — and all of today’s new or back-in-stock supplies)!
25% off the Mardi Gras collection, through WEDNESDAY night, February 18th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
A few of new treats are directly below and at right, plus more related to each art project are farther below (plus a bonus FREE gift kit, and all the Carnival Collage Sheets are on sale)!
A Venetian Theatre by Nichola Battilana
Isn’t Nichola’s Venetian Theatre lovely?
Her ode to Venice starts with a back in stock Small Paper Theatre Box then uses images from the Ships and Waves Backdrops and The Canals Collage Sheets (and I love all the depth with multiple layers of curtains and waves).
Of course you know I LOVE the Arlecchina jumping jack on either side of the theatre from the Pierrette Collage Sheet! I also love how Nichola rearranged bits of the Toy Paper Theatres Collage Sheet (plus some pleated paper and Dresden) to make her fancy header.
More info and photos are in Nichola’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies. Note: this project was made quite awhile ago, so use the links here to see the supplies.
Carnival Collage Sheets on SALE!
18 sheets are on sale, including 2 from Nichola’s project (there’s actually 4 shown at that link, as 2 are from other categories — but still on sale as they’re in her supplies).
A Parade of Masks by Caroline Ouzts-Hay
On to more artwork! Design Team Member Caroline Ouzts-Hay has created a trio of masks with the back in stock large mask sets. (Just showing 2 of her 3 creations here, but check out Caroline’s blog for lots more photos and details.)
My artwork suffers from a mild case of multiple personality disorder, so I’ve made not one mask but three.
I went to town with the liquid pearls on this one. So scrumptious! To get a more even colored look I painted the chipboard diamonds & feathers before applying the liquid pearl in coordinating colors. so the chipboard brown wouldn’t show through.
(On the pink and black mask) the silver bit at the top is a decorative metal piece that I coated in silver gilding flakes.
I love the crushed pale mulberry paper roses, pearl fringe, and Caroline’s use of more of the chipboard feathers.
Here’s a link to Caroline’s Supply List (for all 3 masks).

Pink Paper Theatres; New Heart Milagros & Dresden Trims
Filed under Paper Dolls/Theatres, Pink Valentine Theatre Kit, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Teri Calia, Valentine's Day
It’s almost Valentine’s Day… a few year’s ago (when the Punch & Judy Theatre was announced) the Design Team went wild with that chipboard theatre and a (now sold out) Pink Paper Theatre Kit. Most of the kit items are still available — and the artwork is so fun and colorful, it’s time to revisit TWO of those projects (and I also created a sale collection from the supplies from both — and all of today’s new or back-in-stock supplies)!
Pussy Cat Theatre
Oh my… Teri Calia has merged her love of cats (hm… obsession?) with the chipboard theatre to make this Pussy Cat Theatre!
In addition to the overall cuteness (and putting cat heads on the figures on either side of the stage!), I’d like to point out the lights: See the bottom right of the large photos below for how Teri hid Fairy Lights in the recessed area behind the facade.
Another clever idea: see the photos at right for how Teri used dowels as stands for the characters.
More info and photos in Teri’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies. Note: lots of Dresden trims in Teri’s project are are back-in-stock today (including the gold wings at the top center of her theatre — Teri curled the wings a bit to give them more dimension).
25% off the Pink Paper Theatres collection, through WEDNESDAY night, February 11th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required! Read on for more info and photos!
New or Back-in Stock Dresden
New Supplies (Mainly Hearts)
Aw… I love those tiny heart charms (with a milagro feeling). And the Resin Heart Candy Boxes are cute for Valentine’s Day or an Easter project.
Note that the Gold Rhinestone Chain at right is a close match to the trim across the bottom of the stage in Teri’s project (kinda like footlights).
There’s more colors/sizes of Rhinestone Chain included in the sale (more info is below in the “bonus” section)!
Behind Closed Doors by Rhonda Secrist
Behind Closed Doors is a miniature French ballet theatre that Rhonda made using the Punch & Judy Theatre, and some extras (like back in stock chipboard doors and hinges, and a vintage street scene at the back of her stage).
 |
See how Rhonda’s characters are moveable? (Standing in front of the theatre at far left, and inside the stage at top right.) Rhonda shows how to mount the collage sheet images (those are from the Theatre Mecanique Collage Sheet) on heavy scrapbook paper and make stands for them (that also blend into the patterned paper on the stage floor).
More info and photos in Rhonda’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies, including these back-in-stock Dresden trims.
FREE Gift with All Orders
A Double Hearts Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight February 11, 2026)!
This mini kit includes:
– An ample pinch of the Polymer Clay Valentine Hearts Slice Mix
– Four of the Gold Dresden Double Heart with Arrow, and
– A set of the Blue Enamel Tea Cup & Teapot Charms.
They’re also included in the sale (in case you’d like to order more)! Plus they’re all on clearance so double savings!
NEW: Pink Paper Theatres SALE
Over 30 items are on sale! Beside the supplies from both of the artworks above, all of today’s new or back-in-stock trims are included, too. And… BONUS: see the bottom row below for THREE related embellishments or half-scale theatres I added to the sale!
Another bonus: Extra collage sheets, all with characters that fit the Punch & Judy Theatre:
– Fairy Ballerinas Collage Sheet
– Mini French Ballet Costumes Collage Sheet
– Marionnette Theatre Collage Sheet
– Theatre Mecanique Collage Sheet (including dancers in both Teri and Rhonda’s artwork)
– Small Cinderella Paper Dolls Collage Sheet (surprise!)
– Note: the Pink Children’s Theatre Collage Sheet is already in the sale (as the proscenium is used in both projects), but it also includes more characters.
There’s a new AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT for an extra 25% off the listed prices: you’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, February 11th at midnight PST.
Retro TVs & Trims on Sale; Projects from Valentines to Halloween!
Filed under Altered Tins, Halloween, Kristin Batsel, Retro TV Kit, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Shannon Cooper, Valentine's Day
THREE designs of the 3D Chipboard Retro TVs are back in stock (times 2 sizes = 6 TVs)! Plus extra mid-century-inspired trims are back, too!
The first of our inspiration photos today is this amazing Saturday Morning – a Mini Mod Delight by Shannon Cooper!
It seems mom is away and dad is having beer and donuts? And the kids are obviously running riot as there are tiny Tiddly Winks pieces (and spilled breakfast cereal) on the floor… More info in the original post and/or more supplies from that project (all included in today’s sale).
25% off the Retro TVs collection, through WEDNESDAY night, February 4th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required! Read on for more info and photos!
More Inspiration
So clever! Kristin Batsel created this Tiny TV (really tiny as that TV is only 2″ wide) that has 2 image options! One is the Western (in black-and-white) and the other (set back as that hot dog is a 3D prop) is an ad that keeps interrupting the movie!
More supplies from Kristin’s project, and the original post.
 |
Below are THREE TVs by Rhonda Secrist: Godzilla, Bewitched And A Western! Ha! I love that Godzilla TV (with tiny people running away)!
This adorable Medium Size Retro TV is so easy to put together! I painted this one with red paint, and then chose a simple patterned paper to give it a little snazzing up.
Nice job, Rhonda! Here’s the supply list (for all 3 TVs) and the original post.
 |
Below is another TV by Kristin: The Halloween Special on BTV (psst: that’s Brownie TV)!
I used a thin strip of sturdy scrapbook paper to make the TV 3d. The Brownie images are attached to the background with foam tape; a mossy ground and some pumpkins were added. To fit the pumpkins in, I cut them in half with a box cutter. If you apply slow gentle pressure, they divide fairly easily. They’re attached with white glue. I made one into a jack o’ lantern using a thin tipped Sharpie.
Clever! (Both making the TV a shallower depth instead of inserting a tin, AND cutting a pumpkin pod in half).
More supplies from her project and the original post.

NEW: Retro TVs on SALE
Here’s that promised Valentine’s Day project: KittyCat TV by Kristin Batsel! (Kristin again! I love all the different themes and sizes of TVs she made.)
This is so cute! Kristin used the Altoids Tin TV (in the Retro style, as there are 2 large size TVs made for using with a tin) plus some cute kittens from vintage Valentines.
More info in the original post and/or see the supply list (a few previews are below, including the updated Polymer Clay Valentine Hearts Slice Mix).
50 items are on sale! Whew! Beside the supplies from all FIVE of the tiny TV artworks above, all of today’s back-in-stock retro trims are included, too. And… BONUS: see the bottom row below for some additional Valentine’s Day embellishments I added to the sale!
There’s a new AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT for an extra 25% off the listed prices: you’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, February 4th at midnight PST.
Tarot Cards & Artworks, Mystical Collage Sheets Sale!
Filed under Bella Ayers, Cards & Constellations Kit, Lora Mahaffey, Nichola Battilana, Playing Cards, Shannon Cooper
THREE designs of the chipboard playing card sets are back in stock! Each is a laser-cut chipboard overlay over a solid back. Approx. 3″ x 5″.
So many options! These could be used as an oversized playing card (with the same border design at each end) or perhaps use one as a frame on the front of a tiny theatre? (You could crop off one end of the design and the top star design would be the fancy proscenium.)
25% off this Playing Card Frames collection, through WEDNESDAY night, January 28th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
BONUS: I also added all the Celestial & Sacred Charms to this sale (some of these are new… more info below)!
And see below as there’s a related 50% off sale!
The first of our inspiration photos today are these Star Fairies Tarot Cards by Kimberly Ayers! How beautiful! They look vintage with the dark sepia and blue colors. And they are a cinch to make, even though they look so rich.
Kim used 2 each of the Spider Web Wrought Iron Playing Card and Stars Playing Card as her base. More supplies from that project.
Celestial & Sacred Charms on SALE (25% off)
The top row are all NEW. Over 20 in the entire group! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
More Inspiration
The Daystars are by Nichola Battilana. Aren’t they beeeeautiful!? They look so rich… and made from only chipboard, paper and a bit of paint!
As Nichola says: Rather than a ‘wish-upon-a-star’ goodie goodie piece, I was smitten with these devilish fellows.
More supplies from Nichola’s project, and the original post.

Below are Twisted Little Valentine Cards by Lora Mahaffey! Lora used some images and ribbon from her stash with the Hearts Playing Card.
If you’d like to make a similar ghoulish Valentine, I’d recommend the Anatomy, Gnome & Mushroom Ornaments or Victorian Bats Collage Sheets for some similar images.
 |
Finally, below is a delightful bed frame made from the Spider Web Wrought Iron Playing Card, part of the Witch’s Bed and Table by Shannon Cooper!
Lucky for us, Shannon included a tutorial on how to make the bed in her first post AND a separate post on how to make the mattress. More supplies from her project.
