Filed under Art Projects, Design Team, Newsletters, Sale, Steampunk, Tim Holtz, Tutorials

What a treat! Not only a tutorial from Laura Carson, and a tutorial from Caroline Ouzts-Hay (for that clever, clear resin window shown below), but a big shipment of new goodies from Tim Holtz, too!

Here’s just a snippet of the lovely introduction Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella (Kim Ayers) penned for Laura’s tutorial:

“If you remember back a couple of weeks ago, Laura posted Part I of her ATC Armoire Tutorial that gave you all sorts of ideas and options for gathering up your supplies to make your own ATC Armoire.

“I hope you have your supplies gathered because, get ready… Part II of the tutorial is ready!! (I suggest having your smelling salts handy!) In Part I, Laura showcased a Regency Style Armoire and a Larger French Style Armoire. Now in Part II Laura will also show how to make a Time Machine – Steampunk Themed Armoire and a Peacock Dress Form Armoire. Swooooonnnn!!! All four styles are over the moon, good luck choosing which one you’d like to make.

“Laura has a (New!) Hardware Collage Sheet as well as her recent Tick Tock and Whimsical Frames Collage Sheets that makes creating your armoires easier than having to attach (and source!) the real things.” Read the rest of Miz Bella’s introduction (with additional photos) on the blog.

And in honor of this tutorial, the ENTIRE Steampunk Theme Section is On Sale! That’s HUGE. On sale only through Saturday night, April 27th (or until items run out of stock) so get over there quick!

Now onto our second tutorial for today: Caroline’s Resin Perfume Bottle!

“Ahhhh, ICE Resin. Whether you love it or are terrified to even think about playing with it — everyone knows what a fabulous and versatile medium it is! Miz Caroline Ouzts-Hay has jumped right in after falling in love with ICE Resin and has created a lovely, 2-part, step-by-step tutorial for creating clear windows (see the smaller photos for a quick preview of how the perfume bottle shape is cut out and filled with clear resin).” Read the rest of Miz Bella’s introduction (with additional photos) on the blog.
