Alchemy Coasters & Coins by Nichola Battilana
Filed under Art Projects, Back in Stock, Coins Coasters & Holders Kit, Giveaways, Nichola Battilana, Sale
Beautiful! That’s what we’ve got today: Lots of new items, a 40-50% off sale (TWO sections!), and beautiful new papers (and artwork)!
Alchemy Coasters and Coins by Design Team Member Nichola Battilana
Oh my… just feast your eyes on those beautiful coins and coasters by Mz Nichola (they may be smaller than you think — the coins are just 2-1/2″ diameter). The photo of the coins is immediately below; the pic for the coasters is farther down in this missive. I adore Nichola’s artwork (and enthusiasm)!
Alpha Stamps sent me this Alchemy 12 x 12 Pad and I have one word. SWOOOOOON! Ugh! It’s the type of pad you take extra care when cutting into because there’s something gorgeous on both sides of the paper.
I used that gorgeousness with elements from this months’ kit: Coins, Coasters & Holders.
I mean you wouldn’t think that moons and bees would go together…. but here we are.
The coins and coasters that are the base of these pieces are super thick chipboard. If you know me, I like to beat my projects into submission so these extra thick beauties are a total treat.
Here’s a link to all the supplies Nichola used. Be sure to visit her blog post for lots more info & photos! AND see below in the Giveaway section for a chance to win lots of the supplies!

Alchemy Coasters Giveaway!
Ah… there’s that mix of bees and the moon that Nichola spoke of (the middle coaster at left… by the way, those are the “larger” 4 inch coasters… a bit more space to “art on”)!
In addition to one of the May Kits (that will give you a coin, a small coaster, and 3 chipboard holders to play with — and 2 of those 3 are in the photo of Nichola’s coins above) , I’ve picked more items from Nichola’s supply list for today’s Giveaway:
– the 4 inch coasters
– all the stars in Nichola’s artwork! including those brass stars shown at left
– a 3 Inch Dimensional Coin Folder (see Nichola’s post for info on her love of chunky embellishments!)
– a new Alchemy Paper Pad!!

I just became interested in alchemy a few months ago so this is right in line with my thoughts. Love it!
They can’t get much better than this!
The will go into a Merlin display and/or stationary.
Honestly – I’d try to recreate the owl coaster. Nichola’s art rocks.
This is amazing! Right up my alley! Can’t wait for my order to arrive so I can start working. Thank you for the inspiration!
I love alchemy. Doing a fortune teller doll right now and these would be great accessories for her.
Love to make a tiny booklet with lots of magic recipes!
Gorgeous paper! I’ve got a mystical journal going that these goodies would work beautifully with.
I am always thinking that Alpha Stamps will run out of new ideas and you NEVER do! Yay!!! These are so inspiring! And gorgeous!
Oh my, I am completely in love with this theme. And the coins and coasters are a cute craft idea. I love it.
Nice collection of goodies
I have just recently found Stamperia paper company. They have such gorgeous papers!
I’ve never made my own coasters, but these coasters are absolutely inspirational!
Stamperia is beginning to be my new favorite thing! And Nichola’s coins are beautiful. Moons and bees two of my favorite things. I hope she makes a tute.. hint hint. I would like to see how she covers the pockets. Because I have some of the ATC folders that came out awhile ago and they are much the same thing. Honestly everything she does when you watch her looks soooo easy lol! Great giveaway too 🙂
Love,love this collection of goodies!
Stamperia is such beautiful paper and I adore what Nichola has done. Thanks for the chance to win and the lovely inspiration.
The images are absolutely beautiful! I am not familiar with Stamperia yet, but you can bet I am going to get acquainted soon!
I love anything and everything mystical, like alchemy and Halloween! The alchemy papers looks scrumptious! I would love to win…what would I make? I’d have to look at all the stuff, combined with what I already have, to make something unique.
Just love anything created by Nichola!
The coins are such a fabulous idea! Going to take to the next swap and see if I can cause a stir.
Love the alchemy theme. Will have to make!! Thanks Nichola for yet again the most beautiful art!!
Your blog is always a great source of inspiration. I love the coasters. I would definitely use the owl theme. Beautiful!
