The Halloween Catch-Up Newsletter
Filed under Halloween, Jewelry, Rubber Stamps, Sale
After the last 2 newsletters announcing swaps, this is a catch-up newsletter. Things that didn’t quite fit into either swap and got pushed aside have finally been posted. And a few late-comers that might still fit into your Haunted House or Matchbox Shrine swap designs.
A Few More Halloween Goodies
Resin Skull or Rose Oval Cameos & Settings
Beautiful 18mm x 25mm oval cameos. And open settings in antique gold, antique silver or vintage patina (plated over brass). One loop at the top; with the open designs, you could also use jump rings at the sides. Settings will fit standard 18×25 cabochons, too.
Halloween Bingo Cards (in 2 sizes; shown above)
Heavy cardstock with 6 different Halloween-themed bingo-card designs (1 each of the 6 designs per set). The same designs are available in large (5″ x 7″) or small (2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ – perfect for ATCs). The cards are blank on the back.
Haunted Decor Scrapbook Paper
2″ x 12″ sheet. Looks like a vintage wallpaper pattern from a distance but the pattern is made up of pumpkins, spiders, spider webs and skulls. And has distressed antiquing that looks sooty. Nicely done.
Tiny Dice Beads
80 pieces of 5mm dice beads. Drilled diagonally.
Bone Skulls Beads (2 Designs)
The ones shown at right are hand carved antiqued bone. Approx. 3/8 x 1/2″. There are also square beads dyed black.
Wooden Bingo Tiles
15 pieces of 5/8″ diameter wooden tiles (new but made like vintage bingo pieces).
Spider Web (Clear) Stickers
2 sheets of clear stickers (each 4-1/4 x 5″, with die-cut stickers).
Gold Moon Dresden
Set of 10. Each moon is 1-3/4″ tall.
Black Cinnabar Heart Beads
Imitation cinnabar (layers of lacquer that are molded then machine carved). 17 x 22mm. They feel good… not at all a machine-made feel to them.
New Stamps
Cat Costume Rubber Stamp
Mounted only. Approx. 1-3/8″ tall.
Flourishes Cling-Mounted Stamp Set
Available mounted on cling-foam only. Overall sheet is 4″ x 5″; the largest (damask) design is 2-3/4″ tall.
2 Halloween Cling-Mounted Stamp Sets
Both sets with the same whimsical line-drawing style as the snippet at right.
Rococo Clear Stamp Set
A large set of damask and floral patterns. And pieces you can rearrange to create your own damask patterns. Only a portion is shown at left.
Paper
Gypsy Market “Tobar” Flocked Scrapbook Paper
Heavy paper with black flocking (velvety, raised flocking) over a mottled/vintage background that’s a little metallic; 12″ x 12″ sheet.
Black Envelopes & Blank Card Sets
5″ x 7″ envelopes or envelopes with cards (cards are heavy cardstock). Buy the envelopes alone (25 per pack) or in sets with pre-scored cards (10 sets per pack).
Memo Book
Not for taking notes, but little cards (four each of four designs, plus a sheet of coordinating stickers) for adding notes to a collage (or using as ATC backgrounds). Subtly antiqued edges. 3″ x 4-5/8″; 16 pages + 1 sticker sheet.
Tiny Alphabet Stickers
Die cut circles, each 1/4″ diameter. Overall sheet is 5″ x 6-1/4″. Black capital letters, numerals & symbols printed on manila (beige) colored background.
Metal/Charms
Round Bezel Bracelets
Gold-, copper-, or silver-plated brass with an antique finish (lightweight but not flimsy). 7-1/2″ long (from tip to tip when laid flat; my wrist measures 6-1/4″ and the bracelets fit perfectly). The bezels are 1/16″ deep.
3 Connected Brass Leaves
Curved raw brass leaves (rose leaves?). Approx 3/4″ wide.
3 Tiny Brass Leaves
Raw brass leaves. Approx 3/8″ long.
Florentine Brass Leaves
Lovely brass stampings (concave on the back side). Approx 3/4″ tall.
Brass Nouveau Leaves
Shown in the photo at the far right as part Teri Calia’s Liver of Sulphur Tutorial.
Copper Rectangle Tags
Antiqued copper-plated brass stampings (concave on the back side) with a rope edging. 5/8″ x 3/4″. Set of 6. Shown in the art sample with a Large Round Pendant.
Textured Cable Chain
Gold-, copper-, or silver-plated chains. Links are not soldered so can be used as decorative jump rings.
Brass Keys in 2 Designs
The 3 keys on the far right are ornate brass stampings (so concave on the back) with antique gold, antique silver or vintage patina plating (about 1″ long). The nearer 2 keys have flat backs and come in antique pewter or brass oxide finishes (1-1/2″ tall).
Victorian Heart Charms
Antiqued pewter. Double sided. 1/2″ tall (including the loop).
Antique Copper Heart Charm
A sweet & simple heart charm. 1/2″ tall (including the loop).
2 Designs of Lightweight Heart Beads
2 designs. The larger ones have a heart-shaped hole cut out through the center. The smaller ones have tiny little lines on the edges that give them a lacy border. Antiqued gold- or silver-plated plastic. Double sided.
Tiny Dog Tags
5/8″ x 13/16″. Brass finish; I doubt they’re solid brass. Quite thin (not bendable, just thin).
3 Sets of Metal Frames
Ornate cast frames. They vary in size, with the largest frame (on the Frames & Corners set, shown nearest on right) being 3-3/8″ wide. Note: all of these sets are meant to be glued down for scrapbooking… they can be used for other purposes but they are completely flat on the back.
Gold Angel Wings
Set of 2 (and they’re double-sided). 1″ tall (wide in this photo). Gold-plated pewter.
