Big Top Tunnel Book & Giveaway!
Filed under Art Projects, Bella's Corner, Design Team, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.
A very big show in such a little book by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel! The Big Top Tunnel Book uses the 4×4 Die-Cut Chipboard Frame Set as a base and Kristin’s favorite collage sheets: The Tiny Circus and Circus Parade (both On Sale!).
Plus, Teri Calia created a very special Circus Tunnel Parts Collage Sheet (New and On Sale!) with a set of “parts” (including curtains, banners and a circus tent top) to make your own version of Kristin’s Circus Tunnel Book!
If you remember Design Team Member Kira Nichols’s Tunnel Book Tutorial, the same easy steps for making a tunnel book can be used with Kristin’s circus theme.
See more pictures of Kristin’s book on her blog.
And why are all 3 of those fab circus collage sheets on sale?? ‘Cause Leslie put BOTH the Circus/Clowns Collage Sheets AND Circus/Clowns Rubber Stamps sections On Sale! (but only through THIS Saturday evening, June 22nd). And check below for the Giveaway Leslie pulled together with a ton of stuff to make a Circus book (or 2 or 3…)
)
Are you ready? For the Big Top Circus Book Giveaway!? I’ve pulled just about every item Kristin used in her book … plus a couple extra goodies (ok… more than a couple) that I thought worked well with the theme and the palette (yay gold and red!); here are just a few highlights (in addition to the 3 collage sheets listed above):
– Circus Dancers Stickers On Sale!
– Goldenrod Seam Binding
– Le Cirque: Circus Parade Scrapbook Paper On Sale!
– Metal Hands

I would so love to win this it is so darn cute and I love the circus theme-such a great project. Love Alpha Stamps!
I love the colors and the stripes that are always a part of circus themed art! It’s just a wonderful celebration!
Thus is so fun!
What an incredibly sweet idea! I love all of the colors and imagery! This book would make an awesome and unique gift for a special someone! Thank you!
I’m drooling! What more can I say.
The circus, & clowns in particular (especially vintage ones), have been a passion of mine forever. What a clever idea to incorporate all of the performers into a book..! Looks like my circus stash will be increasing dramatically, so let the shopping begin. Wouldn’t it be fun to win my very own Greatest Show on Earth..? (Can you EVER be too old for a circus?)
How could anyone not love the circus! The colors, the smell and the sites. Thank you for putting memories together on paper!
I love the circus alphabet. I own it and use it often.
I love your tutorials and your fantastic store-keep up the great work.
I do love the circus and I’ve been so good in not spending money because of some splurges earlier but I can’t resist all the circus goodies. I’d love to win the giveaway but not winning won’t stop me from adding to the stash of circus stuff I already have from Alpha Stamps. You have new things and I love the digital collage sheets since that means I have the images to use as many times as I want.
Just when I thought it was safe to visit Alpha Stamps! Wham! This wonderfully whimsical circus tunnel book has stolen my heart. It’s a beautiful creation with so many delightful elements. Thank you for the inspiration!
Oh oh oh , I want this sooo badly! My circus folder is growing but always has room for more things.
Alpha Stamps has me addicted to the circus! Thanks for offering such a FUN giveaway!
OH! What a wonderful kit!! I would LOVE to win this!!
Alpha has always been a big source for my artistic juices! I wish I could afford to buy ALL the things in the store. I’d love to get a circus ‘goodie bag’.
wow, wow, wow, what a great giveaway. Let’s see who the lucky clown will be, get it, clown. ha….Teri always creates the best circus pieces, she and Kristen…..
How fun is this set of detailed ephemera. I hope i win and receive the goodies before the end of summer. Boxes are my thing and i have the perfect box to turn into a gorgeous big
top in a box! I am excited!
