Christmas Wonderland! (And Christmas Magic Shadowbox!)

Filed under Art Projects, Christmas, Collage Sheets, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Newsletters, Teri Calia


I’m handing the newsletter over to Miz Bella, to tell you about Teri Calia’s Christmas Magic Shadowbox (and the related new Christmas and shadowbox goodies)!

Design Team Emeritus Teri Calia is once again offering up something that you’ll want to make a bunch of to hand out as gifts for the holidays! (Really, this one is easy!)

How adorable is the Christmas Magic Shadowbox?! Made with the Mini Wooden Printers Type Tray Shadowbox, that sits on a Miniature Wooden Easel. Teri backed the tray with paper from the Christmas Wonderland Pad and created two new collage sheets for this piece, Christmas Favorites and Tiny Christmas Labels. The Christmas Labels are in a vintage style, — from “Naughty to Nice Elixir” to “Bottled St. Nick Laughter” — and they fit a wide variety of bottles.

Aside from loving the piece itself, my most favorite part of the shadowbox is…the mischievous cat pawing at the tissue from the gift bag! Its cuteness is just too much to handle, I can’t look at it for very long or I shriek like a banshee that I need one and scare Slim Daddy.

I’m also wanting to try out the Flower Soft, which is perfect for fluffy snow. Teri said it works great on top of the Dimensional Snow Writer as well, as you can see in the snow under the bottles.

  35. Janet Turner says:

    I can’t wait to start on Christmas projects. I love the great ideas that you share in your newsletter. Thank you!

  36. Scotties please! White and black. We started the year with two white girls and two black boys. Sadly, we lost one of our girls and one of our boys this year. I’d love to make a little shrine with black and white. 🙂

  37. Karen Mallory says:

    That shadowbox is so cute! I would love a Siamese cat. Mine passed this year. She was 14 years old.

  38. Mary Helene says:

    I would love to see a standard size poodle for the project. So glad to see Christmas projects.

  39. Sandylynn says:

    Wow, it’s like being in a candy store. Love the shadowbox. It looks like it would be so much fun to gather all the goodies for it and do.
    Bumper is a apple head long hair black & white chihuahua with a too short muzzle and a tongue that sticks out because of it with ears that flop forward. One of the joys of our family.
    Your site is always so much fun to look thru not to mention how easy it is go a overboard at.😁

  40. Carol Rowland says:

    Miniature Schnauzer – you so seldom see them and they are great companions.

  41. Roxanne says:

    Oh my soooo cute! Love the whole Christmas shadow box!
    I would love to see lil’ Greyhounds! They are Very hard to find. I’ve been doing Italian Greyhound rescue for many years. They are the sweetest furkids! Somehow I actually found a greyhound craft die! 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

  42. Terry McM says:

    Would love to see a Yorkie! I lost mine a few years ago, and still miss my Maggie! Love the Christmas box,

    T

  43. Sharon McDonagh says:

    I currently have two sweet cat sisters…but grew up with dachshunds, so that’s my vote for a miniature.

  44. Laura West says:

    I love this, our sweet boy is part akita and part german shepard. I don’t think I will ever see a miniature like him, but anything close I would definitely love to see!

  45. karen says:

    How about a yorkie. I love your creative energy. Wish I had more. Thank You

  46. Megan Warren says:

    I’d love a grey striped tabby to match my furbaby.

  47. I would love to see a border collie or great pyeranese (?) in miniature

  48. Cynthia Xavier says:

    I’ve never done a shadowbox but I want to do this one. It is adorable! I have a kitty named Lily. She is a tuxedo grey and white with green eyes. She is the love of my life.

  49. Marilyn H says:

    I’d love to see a beagle and a tortoise-shell kitty.

  50. Luanne says:

    I’m thinking a shadow box would be a cute Christmas gift all done up!

  51. Connie K says:

    Cha-HaHa!! I have two tiny chihuahuas – Ruby and Reese, Ruby because she is red and Reese because she chocolate & peanut butter colored. They are litter sisters and they bark when the wind blows!! Love them to pieces:)

  52. Sokat says:

    After years of adopting mix breeds from the pound, our newest fur babie is a Jack Russell. Wow, given the level of energy, any shadowbox highlighting him would have to have lots of scenarios where he is the king of the house.

  53. Gilda says:

    I lost my 20 year old cat several years ago and have not been able to get a new pet just yet. I love daschunds and think that would be a great miniature. This is a fantastic giveaway.

  54. Christy says:

    An Irish Wolfhound and an Akita. Love the Christmas shadow box.

  55. Phoebe Diamond says:

    A bunch of Tibetan Terriers in all cold mixes. My two boys are sweet and furry with lovely tails. Zorro is black and white, Rocky is white and sable. They are the best!

  56. Lisa R. says:

    This is a really cute giveaway!! My fur baby is a chocolate lab. Would love to see more cat and dog minis in different positions. I love the kitty that hangs off the edge with his paw. Fingers crossed for this one!! I really, really, want this one. “Sigh”

  57. Nancy S says:

    I just love,love,love the Christmas shadow box! My fur babies are a Chihuahua and a Dachshund. What fun it would be to include them in a Christmas vignette.

  58. Barb J says:

    I would love to have a Welch Terrier! And I would put his picture in my Christmas shadow box.

  59. Carol Slowik says:

    I just love Christmas and this giveaway! When the kids were growing up we had a golden retriever named Jiminee a red and white siberian husky named Bilbo Baggins and a cat named Misha. I would love to see any dog or cat breed as I love all animals!

  60. Starqueen says:

    Beautiful Christmas shadow box with gorgeous goodies! I love my black kitties, but I would love to see a Golden Doodle (or any Doodle) in miniature.

  61. Beth Jones says:

    Love, Love, Love Christmas!! Always make ornaments and “pretties” Smiles,Beth

  62. Leah Fein says:

    Thank you again for offering these chances to win things. I would love to see miniatures of black-and-white tuxedo cats that’s my favorite kind of cat

  63. Sara H. says:

    I love this shadow box! I will one day own a black giant schnauzer once I own a home with a giant yard, so how about a black schnauzer or a Scottie. They look so similar, especially when/if they are mini.

  64. Michele says:

    How purrfect! I have 3 black and white male tuxedo cats so I can relate to this darling shadow box! Christmas is my favorite holiday for decorating and this shadow box would be the best!
