Alice in Wonderland and Snarky Housewives
Filed under Alice in Wonderland, Art Projects, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Newsletters, Rhonda Secrist Thomas
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Rhonda’s project that are still available on the new site.
We have projects for you today by Teri Calia and Design Team Member Rhonda Secrist Thomas; and they couldn’t be more different from each other!
First up are Teri’s Bitch Boxes. Aren’t these the sweetest things evuh? I could think of quite a few people I’d like to gift with these snarky little boxes. One right here in Roswell, GA, but I’m quite sure she’s covered head-to-toe in the horrible chocolate she makes so let’s not bother with her since these boxes are way too sweet for her. Bless her heart!
So taken with the crazy, silly and retro-housewife theme that crazy person herself, Miz Teri Calia has created FOUR new collage sheets around this theme! Sexy Vintage Housewives, Vintage Housewives, Happy Vintage Housewives and (oh my gawd, my favorite of the bunch!!) Bitchy Words. Loads of fun images and phrases to play and create with. What could be better? (Hey, here’s better: Leslie has put all 4 On Sale! But only through June 18th.)
Using NEW Chipboard Shadowboxes, Teri covered each one with really swell paper from the Homemade With Love 12×12 Collection Kit. Then Teri added Red 3/8 Ric Rac Ribbon on one and 3/8 Inch Ivory Looped Lace on the other box. And note: Leslie just put ALL of the Ric Rac Ribbons on Clearance!
The nice thing about these NEW SIZES of Small Chipboard Shadowboxes (aside from how flipping cute they are) is that it doesn’t take much to make them so adorable. (Both are similar to the boxes in the Paper Theatres Kit, but in a smaller size.) For instance the Small White Apple Blossoms and the Tea Time Buttons are the perfect additions to the box with wishful thinking Betty, dreaming about cake going to her boobs instead of her arse. Yeah, if only. Right?!
Next up… Go Ask Alice – I’m Sure She’ll Know the Answer by Rhonda Secrist Thomas. As Rhonda points out: a lot of artists certainly seem intrigued by Alice. Especially the ones at Alpha Stamps!
Rhonda has taken an old bottle and using 2 favorites around here, Alice’s Adventures and Alice Tea Party Rubber Stamp Sets (both On Sale!) has created a bottle of wonder that any Alice fan would appreciate, and not mind dusting off from time to time either.
Sometimes I think a lot of people forget that we have an amazing selection of Rubber Stamps and some are Alpha Stamps’ Exclusives Rubber Stamp Sets! I love rubber stamping, especially on muslin for sachets and also on dolls that I make. Sometimes I even stamp Slim Daddy’s forehead when he’s sound asleep after he’s made fun of me for my Ancient Aliens obsession but I digress!
Aren’t the colored, stamped images on the bottle too cute? I keep expecting the Mad Hatter to peek out from the side and offer me a cup of tea! If you remember, (or maybe you don’t but hey, that’s ok too!) Rhonda did a Stamping On Ribbons Tutorial a few weeks or so back and has used the same techniques on the Pink 7/8 Inch Satin Ribbon for the bottle.
Look at all of the beautiful beads dangling off of the bottle! Also, if you look at the top of Rhonda’s bottle you’ll see quite a beautiful topper. Bet you’d like to know what it is, wouldn’t you? No! I am not telling you because you know must go and fall down the rabbit hole yourself to find the extra pictures and additional tips at Rhonda’s blog. (Psst… you can see lots of the goodies Rhonda used here on her Supply List. AND lots of them — and things from Teri’s boxes, too — are in today’s Giveaway!)
