Ornament from Filigree to Molds to Windows… and a FLASH SALE!
Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Newsletters, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Sale, Snow White Kit
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 projects that are still available on the new site.
What’s New Today? Ornament!
That’s historical ornament (squirelly, scallopy, doodly, busy ornament!) Check below for new silicone molds, new double layer windows, and new metal filigree! More info below.

FLASH SALE! ALL Metal Filigree is On Sale at 40% off!
That includes 3 new metal filigree pieces being announced today (each is very pretty… and bargain priced even before the sale)! Like the Raw Brass Fancy Fleur de Lys shown at left.
AND that NEW Crowned Crest Filigree – Gold at right is also included in today’s Giveaway! The sale ends Saturday night, January 14th at midnight PST! See ’em all! Over 70 options!
That clever (and busy) Design Team Member Rhonda Secrist Thomas has made TWO projects for today, both with this month’s Snow White theme! (And both made with a Blank Altoids Tin.)
One is at right (Snow White, the Warrior (!)), and scroll down to see another in a wide photo (The Evil Witch Outside).
Rhonda used the Round Frame with Dragons over an Altoids Tin for the main structure of Snow White, the Warrior (with an image in the center from the Evil Queens Collage Sheet — hey, all’s fair in art: you can make the evil queen be Snow White if you want to)!
Here’s a preview from Rhonda’s Blog Post:
Did you know that Snow White was actually a bad ass warrior? True, we all love the traditional story of her gentle ways and her little dwarf friends, but let’s really think about this. Why did the Evil Queen envy her so much? It wasn’t just because she was the “fairest of them all”.
Yes, she had a natural beauty that all noticed, and was dearly loved by the seven dwarfs and all her woodland friends, but she was also extremely strong both mentally and physically. So she was a huge threat to the Evil Queen.
You can see it in her eyes and stance. Don’t mess with Snow White!
I wouldn’t mess with her! I’d like to highlight some pretty details: the little snowflakes at the bottom of that photo at right (a slice of a polymer cane and newish tiny silver snowflakes).
And check out the Giveaway below for a chance to win goodies she used in both projects!
Moving on to the second project shown below: The Evil Witch Outside. I love how this turned out, with the glittery finish Rhonda gave to the new Ornate Double Layer Window!
Read more (and see lots more photos) in Rhonda’s blog post. And here’s her Supply List for both projects.

Hey, who won the Grimm’s Fairy Tarot Giveaway? That would be Susan B! (And I love her comment: “Anything Tarot tends to draw me in. I’ve been musing about using characters from Agatha Christie novels for a Tarot. Poirot might be The Magician. Miss Marple as The High Priestess…”) Congratulations! Check your email for more info.
I would make a little window scene!
…a victorian garden theme with a bluebird of happiness watching over.
An Ice Queen altered tin.
Love the molds-I have never used them would be interesting to try. I love Rhonda’s evil witch tin-may try something like that? >^..^<
I love the idea of a warrior Snow White…it makes perfect sense!
Oh I would love to win this I would def make an Altoid box adorned with everything I just made a Vintage steampunk circus train out of Altoid boxes
I would definitely use the round frame for the “mirror mirror who is the fairest of them all” and but the evil pic in it!!
I will definitely use the window on the outside of a tin-I just happen to have a few waiting on my workbench, begging to be altered right now!! I have a little January Thaw spring fever right now, so maybe a scene using the snowflakes and a few early spring flowers to capture that time between the seasons!
Oh this would be a Valentine shadow box, just love it~
I would make a Red Riding Hood insde the window with the big bad wolf looking in
I see the Evil Queen outside trying to build a snowman but because she is so evil it isn’t working out and she is getting frustrated! Then Snow White sneaks up behind her and hits her in the head with a snowball! That would be pretty cool to see!

Can’t decide between good and evil……
I will make a scene with a window into a fabulous new world of healing and fruitfulness!
I can see using the window as a headboard for a bed.
Love the window! I’d create a scene with the Evil Queen!
Yes I would love to make something using Susans wonderful creations as inspiration.
I would use the molds to make soap trims!
A shadow box
Just love the Evil Witch Window project.
I love the window project with the evil witch. I think I’d make some variation of that. The altoids tin is fabulous too!
I would love to try a shadow book box with all these goodies. I enjoy coming here for all the creations you all make and DREAM about being able to make things like you.
Snow White was the first animated movie that my parents took me to over 75 yrs ago. I would do a beautiful, plant filled garden in which Snow White meets her prince!
I would like to make a shadow box with all these wonderful goodies!! TFTG! Alpha stamps fan for life!
I would make it into a flower shop window or teashop window. Just love it!
I would make A snow scene in the tin.
I adore the window and how she finished it. All this stuff is fabulous. I want to make that window for the outside of a tin and have tiny bottles of poisons etc on shelves inside.
Love the window and how fun peeking in on a scene….maybe a lovely Spring scene?
Wonderful projects. I would definitely use the window for an tin project. I love the snow used on it and would make some kind of winter scene.
I’d make a winter garden.
I would make a scene in a gift bag with those lovely windows!
Another fun and creative project. I waould make a window scene.
I am definitely in to the evil queen right now. Have just gotten around to watching Winters War The Huntsman such beautiful costumes! I would have to have a window looking in at the Queen and her mirror
I love all the goodies. I’d make a winter scene. Love those molds!
I can see a tiny little Fairy scene in the tin. That is what I would do. LOVE!!!!! the new windows!
Love the molds. I would make that awesome window with some of the ladies in a collage
And the window is awesome!
I would make the evil queens kitchen and she is cooking her apple over her pot. Snow is falling out side and the outside of the tin would be her cottage made with paper clay.
So pretty! I would make a fairy alter.
Oh my! The concept of a Fierce strong Snow White completely captures my imagination!! I’m definitely inspired by Rhonda’s artwork, and I would create a window scene on the tin, perhaps looking inside on an interior scene that will be continued when you open the tin. Not Snow White as evil, but as a warrior for the forces of Good, with the elves as her helpers! I love the image of Snow White in the collage sheet. Perhaps a battle scene of some sort with the Evil Queen? Such fun possibilities!!
I want to make Rhonda’s project with the Round Frame with Dragons with a picture of Snow White, the Warrior.
I would use the items with Graphic 45’s Enchanted Forest paper to make a tiny mini album in the tin.
I would make a fairy box.
I would love to make a warrior Valentine princess scene. Protector of hearts everywhere!
Loving the whole snow white theme, so absolutely i would be using her for a beautiful window scene!
I am so inspired! I’m so in love! Can’t wait to get my hands on these supplies. Such creativity! Thank you!
I would make a fantasy or garden themed shadow box.
I would definitely like to attempt the second project. Love Snow White!!
