Saucy Kitchen Art, Special Free Gift & Minis Sale!
Filed under Art Projects, Back in Stock, Collage Sheets, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Miniatures, Sale, Teri Calia
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 Teri’s project that are still available on the new site.
A NEW SALE: Inspired by today’s new cooking-themed items: ALL Food & Beverage Miniatures are 30% off! Over 50 items! And that sale includes the Pitcher of Milk shown at left (and used by Teri Calia in today’s artwork)! The sale ends TUESDAY night, April 25th at midnight PST (April 25, 2017). See below for a few highlights or go check ’em out now!
Continuing from Thursday and ENDS MONDAY night: SPECIAL FREE GIFT! In honor of Laura Carson's Art Deco Style Paper Fans, ALL ORDERS through TOMORROW NIGHT, April 24th (2017) will receive one of the new Mini Sassy Beauties Collage Sheets FREE!
AND all orders over $24 will receive one of the mini collage sheets AND a set of the new Mini Fan Blades FREE! They’re a mini version of the Venetian Fan Blades… only 3″ tall! Perfect for making a little fan that fits in an ATC pocket (or attach the blades to an ATC with a brad so you can unfurl your fan). And I love that mini fan at right that Laura made! More info (or to buy additional sets!)
Also continuing from Thursday: ALL Findings are 30% off! Over 50 items! All those little bits and bobs… connectors, clasps, jump rings… and it includes the Small Antique Brass Suitcase Handles shown at left! The sale ends MONDAY night, April 24th at midnight PST (April 24, 2017). View them all!
It’s a nice change of pace to see the Hidden Drawer Book Box – ATC Size used as a hidden shrine (instead of an ATC box)… with a snappy retro food theme, by Teri Calia. See the photo below for how the hidden drawer slides out (and you can just see the 3D Pitcher of Milk inside the drawer).
I’ve been doing a lot of multi media and three dimensional art lately and felt the need to do something a bit simpler and more collage-y. So, I grabbed one of the adorable Hidden Drawer Book Box – ATC Size and a brand spankin’ new Saucy 6×6 Paper Pad and got to work creating this sweet “Let’s Eat” shrine.
(That new paper pad is really sweet(!): A retro-themed pad with some nice small prints for making ATCs or cards, like tiny aprons and brightly-colored dishes (and cakes).)
With the exception of one tiny little pitcher of milk, the whole thing is made of paper. Some of the paper is from a new collage sheet I created just for this project. It has lots of kitschy images of food and people eating and goes great with the Saucy paper.
I also begged Leslie to have a little set of chipboard kitchen shapes cut, thus giving birth to Tiny Kitchen Items 🙂
(Note: that chipboard set has 29 pieces! Just a close-up of a portion is shown here. Pots & pans, teapots, silverware, cups, wine glasses, plates, coffee pot…)
Don’t they look adorable painted black?
Inside my little shrine is a darling little girl, dressed for Sunday dinner, with a straw hat perched jauntily on her head. It appears dinner is just being served…
(Aside: I’m going to butt in here and say that little girl looks manic from too much sugar… not “darling”!)
Haha! Looks like my kind of dinner! Yummy cupcakes and a glass of milk, what could be sweeter? And there’s that tiny Pitcher of Milk I spoke of earlier.
I hope you enjoyed my kitschy sweet Let’s Eat shrine and it will inspire you to either go out and eat a dozen doughnuts or, better yet, make a shrine of your very own!

I’d like to create a recipe journal book and then have the smaller hidden drawer book inside it. This set is too sweet. LOL
years ago I bought a dollhouse Hoosier cabinet and an old style sink. I could so use this giveaway to start on a retro kitchen vignette.
HOORAY!an excuse to stay in pajamas and eat pastries and sip some ultra coffee/cream/sugar. Thank you!
I am always excited about quality 1:12 miniatures . I think the paper images would be excellent in a Mother’s Day card. I would be curious
To see if the chip board items could become a tiny mobile , painted
Nicely that could be very cute.
What a sweet giveaway. There’s so much fun stuff that I could do a fabulous hidden book scene, lots of ATCs, and still have things left for a few other projects!!
Im a sassy redhead so I would love to make a sassy redhead retro recipe box to give to both my daughters

I love the kitchen theme. like to make kitchen magnets using vintage dominoes and retro recipe boxes.
Not a fan of the kitchen but I love crafty kitchen things. The hidden drawer book box is so cute love the idea. Would be cute as an Alice in Wonderland tea party box. >^..^<
Love the idea of a 50’s theme dinner.
The cutouts would make a great base for jewelry projects! Love the retro papers too…so many options. 🙂

HI!
I love you guys! What a funny, “Let’s Eat” book! If the Random-bot picks me…please pick another person!!! I am still working on the items I won from you a few weeks ago…I’m making something really cool to share with you.
I just wanted to comment….the fan – um, not so much. But I LOVE Art Deco!!! This collection has – started – to speak to me….but it just “needs” something… Maybe peacock feathers, or angular line molding, or a real Speakeasy scene with Charleston dancers, and a pI-aney player…..y’know? Dangly bead trim…Boa feathers? Hmmm?
Just sayin, hugs, cat
Love all kinds of retro 1950s kitchen stuff. I want to make a coffee klatch shadow box
I’m all about food, so I’d love to do s set of kitschy food related ATC cards to keep in the box
What lovely goodies!
What is this “kitchen” i keep hearing about?
I love these I would love to make a diorama with all of them
Oh yes, my mother was a cake decorator when I was young and every time she made a cake she made me my own personal tiny cake. This hidden drawer book box would be perfect to have her buttercream icing recipe hidden away! Love this giveaway!
