New Christmas Kit & 2 Swaps
Filed under Collage Sheets, Gifts/Decorations, New Products, Rubber Stamps, Swaps
A new Santa Ornaments Kit, Collage Sheets and many new supplies have been added, specially designed (or procured) for the Christmas Ornaments and Holiday Pennant swaps due by the end of October. Visit the Yahoo Group for more details on the swaps (and more sample artwork).
A set of 2 collage sheets, 12 yards of festive ribbons, and 2″ square pre-cut glass and frames to make Christmas ornaments (or pendants). The images are size just under 2″ square, so they’ll perfectly fit the metal frames. Plus there are extra border strips, mini reproductions of Victorian scraps, and text tags for decorating. The ribbons include lots of reds and greens but also some blue and gold colors. Two of the ribbons are wired so they make good hangers for putting your ornaments on a tree.
4 new collage sheets, from reproductions of Victorian scraps to Renaissance angels and saints. The Marigold sheet (at right) has many images sized to fit in the 1″, 1-1/2″ and 2″ square inchies and pendant frames (some are a little larger than the dimensions for the frames, but you can crop to fit).
Chipboard Books/Banners (Triangular Pennants and Other Shapes)
– Triangular Pennant Blank Books.
Each banner/book has 8 pages made of thick chipboard which makes them easily alterable and/or paintable. The pages measure 5-1/2″ x 6″ and come with 2 rings. These pennants will be part of the Holiday Pennant Swap.
The single pennant at left is by Design Team Member Megan Hull.
– 3 Scroll-Edged Die-Cut Blank Book Sets.
Three different sizes of chipboard books (banners, accordion or swatchbook style) all with curvy scroll-shaped edges.
Not Christmas-y, but there are 2 new black blank chipboard books:
– Black Curved Blank Book.
Sweet little book with curved edges (die-cut black chipboard… so no light edges to have to paint or marker). 3-3/4″ x 5-7/8″. Front and back covers have grommets (to reinforce the holes; 2 binder rings included).
– Black Crooked House Blank Book.
Adorable crooked house. Just under 6″ (both width and height). Front and back covers have a grommet (to reinforce the hole; 1 binder ring included). The front cover has a die-cut window and doorway and one of the interior “pages” (all pages are chipboard so they’re as heavy as the covers) has a chimney.
Back to Winter Holidays for a Minute
– Santa & Reindeer Flip Book.
Fun little (2″ x 3″) flip books. Flip pages from front to back to see the scene move. Or take it apart and have over 30 pages of Santa art to use in other projects.
– Round Santa Gift Tags.
Set of 6 embossed tags, 2-1/2″ diameter (all with same design; come pre-strung on red ribbon). It’s a bit bumpy with the embossing, but there are lines for adding your own message on the back.
