Mini Valentine Hutch; Resin Minis Flash SALE!
Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Miniatures, Retro Valentine Kit, Sale, Shannon Cooper, Valentine's Day
Wow! Design Team Member Shannon Cooper has made (an amazing!) Hearts Aflutter Mini Valentine Hutch using the new Unfinished Wooden Hutch or Buffet, plus 80 bajillion items I will explain!
Beside the tall overview pic, there are 2 wide close-up photos below (showing 2 of those 3 jam-packed shelves), and there are more photos in Shannon’s blog post:
This month’s kit is chock full of red and pink and retro valentines, oh my! The tiny cards and envelopes were difficult to put aside, but I first wanted to decorate a (new) Unfinished Wooden Hutch or Buffet with the Polymer Clay Valentine Hearts Slice Mix and 2-Tone Heart Bead Mix (both also in the kit). There’s also a bunch of other stuff in there, too.
After the hutch was painted (including the Etched Wooden Banner I glued to the top), I lined the shelves with strips of My Valentine Polka Dot paper (from the kit). Tons of images from the Tiny Little Valentines Collage Sheet were cut out to fill the shelves. There are candy boxes, two valentines card boxes, two gift bags, and a (mini) handful of vintage valentine cards on the shelves and on the lacy border. Peeking out from behind a white heart cake on the top shelf is the cutest kitten you’ve ever seen. Thanks for making some extra tiny cat valentines, Leslie!
Whenever I am making a miniature hutch or shelf of some sort, I tend to crowd stuff in there, jamming as many tiny things as will fit. The project sort of turns into an “I Spy” game, which is kinda fun. Some of the things you’ll find are:
– a red jam jar
– (new) lemon cake with LOVE frosting
– heart cookie cutter
– polymer clay cake sprinkles in glass bottles
– tiny resin cupcakes
– (new) pink strawberry cakes
– candy jar pre-filled with red candies
– a pink doily
– tiny heart buttons
– (new) tiny heart-shaped chocolate cakes
– and an embossed gold Dresden heart (also in the kit). Whew!
Most of the minis in this project were altered just a tad, like the Red Canisters. (I just glued a heart from the Polymer Clay Valentine Hearts Slice Mix to the front!) Some of the jar lids were painted or colored with a red Sharpie before being filled with microbeads, or more polymer clay slice mix. The lid of the mini white peanut butter jar on the top shelf was also colored with a red Sharpie, and I drew on a little heart.
The Tiny Lace Borders – White worked out perfectly for the shelves. The bottom lace was cut from a wider section and I added pink rhinestones along the top. The heart-shaped lace border was just trimmed and glued on. So quick!
