Steampunk and Ocean Blue and Skeletons, too?
Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Newsletters, Rhea Freitag, Sale, Star-Crossed Lovers Kit, Valentine's Day
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.
Just one announcement: ALL of the Valentines & Romance Collage Sheets are ON SALE for 35% off! That’s 50 Collage Sheets! On Sale through Sunday, February 1st. (The Love Letter Tags Collage Sheet is shown at left, and at right are the Tinted Beauties and Victorian Sentiment Collage Sheets.)
Those sweet (and beautifully aged) Longing Lovers Altered Cards, at right, are by Design Team Member Rhea Freitag — using papers and collage sheet images from the Star-Crossed Lovers Kit and Star-Crossed Lovers Add-On Kit.
Sadly for us, this will be Rhea’s last project with us as an Alpha Stamps Design Team Member. We’ve greatly enjoyed having Rhea on the Design Team — for years! She will truly be missed!
We hope to have her come back as a future Guest Designer from time-to-time. Best wishes and lots of love to you Rhea!
And after perusing many of Rhea’s past projects (like this shrine, and this gorgeous book, and this By the Sea Shadowbox, too!), I’ve settled on her Steampunk Skeleton Theatre (to highlight AND to build a little mini kit around).
Mini Steampunk Skeleton Theatre FREE Gift Kit
I’ve created a mini collage sheet with images sized for making your own theatre, but in a miniature size with one of the Mini Chipboard Fireplace Mantel Die-Cuts! (And I’ve added a couple of the new 12mm Antique Bronze & Silver Gears, too)!
Hooray! A Aqua and Rust Giveaway!
This list of Giveaway parts is short, but still very sweet!
I started with an entire pack (24 sheets) of the Studio 6×6 Paper Pack:
A painterly group of papers with a mix of ocean blue, butterflies and rusty vintage antiques. 24 doubled-sided 6″ x 6″ sheets; 4 each of 6 designs. See below for a wide swath of overlapping papers from the pack.
(Psst! plus there’s a bonus: the back of the cover sheet has a mini version of the ephemera sheet that’s included in the larger Studio 12×12 Collection Pack! It’s shown in the bottom half of the photo at right… with the butterflies.)
Then I added one of the new Mini Steampunk Skeleton Theatre Gift Kits (including an exclusive new mini collage sheet with images sized for making your own theatre (like Rhea’s shown above), but in a miniature size, and using one of the Mini Chipboard Fireplace Mantel Die-Cuts! The die-cut is included in the kit and I’ve added a couple of the new 12mm Antique Bronze & Silver Gears, too!)
