A Bell Jar Fairy AND A Fish House?! Plus a NEW FREE Gift!
Filed under Art Projects, Collage Sheets, Fairy Garden, Giveaways, Kristin Batsel, Newsletters, Nichola Battilana
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 Kristin’s project that are still available on the new site.
Oooh! A very pretty FREE gift kit today! I was inspired by the lovely Bell Jar Fairy (and related new English Fairy Garden Collage Sheet) by Design Team Member Nichola Battilana and put together the Birds & Butterflies FREE Gift Kit! FREE for ALL orders, now through SATURDAY NIGHT, July 16, 2016!
Design Team Member Kristin Batsel started with the new Little Folding House Shrine and went to town creating an odd little Fish House with a story to match!
First, about the new shrine: it’s a little set of flat, heavy chipboard pieces to make a standing house with a wrap-around front cover (as you can see, the front of the closed shrine has a double front cover).
You can use paper tape to “hinge” the pieces together (like the red stars from the tissue tape Kristin used), or use metal hinges for a more industrial look.
Now on to Kristin’s “King of Fish”:
“The King of Fish watches over his kingdom from the center panel, while his loyal subjects collect the perfect fish from the surrounding ocean. He has put those bathing beauties to work! On the left is my favorite panel. She’s so proud of the catch of the day.”
I love the details like windows in the waves (on both sides).
Many more photos are on Kristin’s blog post.
See everything Kristin used to create The Fish House in her Supply List. (And check below for another photo and because ALL of these items are also featured in today’s Giveaway!)
Nichola Battilana has created the cutest little fairy jars you will ever see, using the sweeties on her new Little People Collage Sheet!
That collage sheet is made of such sweet creatures (and that strongman wearing blush made me laugh). And they each come facing right and left so you have a choice or they can be used double-sided.
Many more photos (and info on that Miss — shown at the bottom of the photo at left — that requires a bit of space to prance around) are on Nichola’s blog post.

Hey, who won Treasure Chest Gift Box Giveaway? That would be Michelle G! Congratulations!
No roof I think. But I love the Owls so it might be owl themed
I would make a fairy folding house with flowers and leaves for the roof.
Or an Alice in Wonderland folding house with cards for the roof.
Hmm thinking fairy house with a mossy roof.
You know how much I love my fairies, so, using the Little People collage sheet, I would create a fairy “house” book without a roof. Love the deer wood cut outs, too-great for the Pacific Northwest where I live:)
love this folding house and would make a Halloween scene! I look forward to these emails and seeing all the cool projects and new items you have! thanks what creativity!
I think some sort of theme like this with plenty of fish! We have a cottage and I love to fish!!
I would make a Deer Camp inspired folding house with small sticks for the roof. It would feature the series of events surrounding deer camp. Packing, arriving, first day of the season, sitting around the fire at night and heading home. It will be a gift for hubby’s Birthday!! TFS!
I would love to make a cabin in the woods for my hubby for his upcoming birthday. the roof would be made from either some tin or other metal out in the barn or corrugated cardboard topped with wood pieces and moss.
love the one that is shown! 🙂
Would love to have.
I would make a garden or fairy theme 🙂
These folding houses are perfect for saint shrines:)
As always, a beautiful package filled with inspiration!!
Kate
Oooohhh! I’d make a shrine to Paragon Park, the amusement park that my mom grew up at, on Nantasket Beach in Hull, MA.
I would make a kitty house, filled with all the things cats love. The roof would have to be made of scratching post material.
My roof would be cardboard, but it would have vintage snippets from a dictionary page, mod podged on it. I’ve had this dictionary (found at an estate sale) for over 10 years, it is from the 20’s era and packed with pictures. perfect for this project.
I love the idea of a religious shrine. I have a couple of mini crosses and statues that would be so cute displayed in the house shrine. I could add shelves to put the items on. >^..^<
Love that folding fish house. dont know what id do until it’s in my hands. Maybe something with black cats. That’s what first comes to mind. A black cat house!
mystical site of dragons and princesses using G45 enchanted forest and cut outs you offer
Just came back from a trip to Norway. I would make a miniature hunting hut with sod roof. The front would open up like a door, and the inside would have a bunk, table etc. I have lots of little “stuff” to put in it.
how beautiful all this is I would love to make a bell jar with these gorgeous items thank you
Love the idea of a fairy’s day at the beach. Because they fly they may have to look out for the fish!
With my Little Folding House Shrine, I’d make a Jules Verne library. I’d use sea shells for the roof.
My folding house project would be full of fanciful mermaids.
Oh, so many possibilities. My mind is spinning. Love this Giveaway.
What a fun give away. I would make mine with garden and birds. I some lovely flat shell buttons that would make a great roof. Thanks!
I see a beach scene with birds and animals
Love the triptych! I’d make something with pics of my family.
I would make a Florida style fish house and for my roof some of that moss like stuff you sell
Mine would be Halloween-themed. I know it’s only July, but I’m already planning and thinking of Halloween.
I would make a steampunk house with a painted foam roof cut into squares and accented with metal embellishments
I would make a Halloween house with a witch and ravens on the top but n roof.
would love to make a seaside cottage with a shell roof!
I would make a paper dollhouse with windows and doors that flip open. Little furniture and dolls to play in it too. Thank you for the opportunity to win
I secret garden would be fun.
Loving the fish King story! Would have to make a beach theme based on Atlantic City from the 1920s. I like the looks of the corrugated cardboard roof, so would do that.
Not sure what I would make yet, too many possibilities!! I love it all!
I would make an ocean style house with many sea creatures, shells and sand- the roof would be layered with seaweed!
I would use this with a Halloween theme. It would be terrific double sided with a graveyard and a spooky house!
Since Pennants have grown in popularity. I would attempt turning it upside down into pennants.
These are awesome! I’d put a moss roof on mine!
I like the idea of a Day of the Dead project. I think the roof might be some mini-shingles with eyeballs on each shingle.
Wonderful giveaway .
Thanks Alpha Stamps, for the chance to win.
Would use the collage sheets to make bottle fairies, and would fix up the house with beach scenes. The roof might be made of foam circles cut to look like mermaid scales, layered like shingles.
