BIG Tim Holtz SALE! (+ Artwork by Lora Mahaffey & New Giveaway!)
Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Lora Mahaffey, Marie in Wonderland, Newsletters, Sale, Tim Holtz
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 Lora’s project that are still available on the new site.
A brief intro (ok.. maybe a bit longer than “brief”) before I hand this newsletter off to Miz Bella (Kim Ayers) (to tell you all about a project by Design Team Member Lora Mahaffey AND the BIG Tim Holtz SALE). (And note: today’s Giveaway (farther below) is all about Lora’s project!)
There’s a new FREE Gift with Order offer: Double Dot Vintage Color Swatchbook (inspired by the new colors of the popular Double Dot Vintage line that Lora used in her witty little The Disastrous Tea Party — more info and photos of those new products below).
AND… the Collage Sheet Sale and FREE Collage Sheet offer is still going strong! For every $20 you spend, you can pick out a FREE Collage Sheet! The “pick out a free collage sheet” offer has expired BUT check the current newsletter for a NEW FREE collage sheet promo!
Final note: in case you missed Thursday’s Newsletter, you can still view High Tea with Marie by Shannon Cooper (and that newsletter includes that long anticipated Sweet Paris Mini Kit with artwork by Teri Calia)!
Lora Mahaffey has had a bit of fun with the Marie in Wonderland Kit with all of its tea, sweets, food and frills. I am afraid its touched her in the head a bit more than normal — although we wouldn’t have her any other way so there’s nothing to worry about. The Disastrous Tea Party… or What Really Happened to Marie Antoinette is Lora’s made-up little story to go with all the teeny, tiny, yummy things that inspired Lora from the kit, but if only Marie wasn’t so cheap… well I won’t give away the ending!
Lora used the ATC Book Box for her “book”, and my, what a lovely book it is! Your attention is immediately drawn to the lovely double tiered tables (that clever Lora used Wood Finial Chess Pawns for the legs) with a Mini Strawberry Cake, Mini Heart Tart Cake, assorted pastries from the Marie Takes Tea Collage Sheet and a bouquet of Mini Rose Buds – Pale Pink in a tiny vase (made from a bead)! Pull the table insert away from the box and…
There’s a big party going on with everyone having a grand time drinking, dancing and carrying on like no one is watching! The adorable dancing fools come from the French Ballet Costumes Collage Sheet and the super-duper versatile paper that Lora has used is the Double Dot Vintage Scrapbook Paper Shadow (Back in Stock!), Passion Fruit (New!) and Pink Punch (New!). It seems like no matter what color this particular paper comes out in, it becomes a neutral staple in your stash because you can use it for so many different things.
Here is Lora’s supply list.
Wait… what is this? A note on the spreadsheet that we use for upcoming newsletters. (Yes, I’m snooping around; it’s the only way I find things out!) “NEW Tim Holtz Distress Color: Mermaid Lagoon.” Mermaid Lagoon! Doesn’t the name alone make you want the color? There is a Mermaid Lagoon Paint, Stain, Ink Reinker, Ink Pad, Distress Marker, and Spray Stain in the collection. All of them can be Pre-Ordered (and you’ll be first to get them when the first order arrives… more info is on each of those pages, including a link to a video demo).
Looks like there’s a couple of new Distress Markers, too, in Cracked Pistachio and Abandoned Coral. Sahweeet! Think I’ll add those to my next order as well.
Since almost all the new items being announced today are by Tim Holtz… Leslie just put the ENTIRE Tim Holtz Products Section On Sale! Over 400 products! Catch ’em quick ’cause the sale will end this Thursday, March 26th!
Telling you about all this makes me want to pull out my paints, stains, embossing folders and everything else; I’m off to run with scissors!
