New Noel Paper; New Miniatures; Voodoo Shadowbox Art!
Filed under Art Projects, Back in Stock, Christmas, Halloween, Miniatures, Shannon Cooper
Yes, it’s that time of year. Speeding toward fall, we have a mix of Halloween and Christmas goodies to announce.
Starting off with the (back in stock!) German Walnut Shells and Miniature Nativity Scene. Beside being adorably tiny and perfect for Christmas, Design Team Member Shannon Cooper used the nativity set in a Halloween project shown below.
Voodoo Shadowbox by Shannon Cooper
We’re revisiting a project that Shannon created earlier this year: the Voodoo Shadowbox is so creepy cool! AND I’ve created a whole “Voodoo Collection Sale” around the items in Shannon’s supply list (plus I added more potion labels and bottles, then added everything with “SKULL” in the title, too) to bring the sale up to 80 items!
But before we delve into the sale, back to this fab project! Here’s some text from Shannon’s blog post:
I’ve had this awesome Mini Wooden Printer’s Type Tray from Alpha Stamps on my craft table for some time, just waiting for a me to fill it with lots of little notions. Next to the tray lay a handful of doodads, and while on hold with the USPS during the holidays, I rifled through the stuff and eventually began gluing things together while patiently waiting my turn. By the time a real-live person answered the call, I had several bottles filled with herbs and feathers, tiny jars, some rhinestones glued into a skull’s eye sockets, and quite a few Tarot cards snipped from the Tiny Divination Cards Collage Sheet (also in pic below). We won’t mention the wait time. :/
I didn’t fret over what went where or making things just so. It was more of an “I’m going to glue this right here and all will be fine, moving on” kind of project. A few images from various collage sheets, like the Little Potions one, were glued to the backs of a few cubbies, and then the bottles, candles (psst, they are mostly real candles, minus the red one on the skull which is beeswax and embroidery floss!) were added, followed by some Spring Green Lichen Mix and other natural elements. All of the roses were cut from tissue paper and glued around a wire stem.
Read more (and see more photos in Shannon’s blog post! Below are a few of the items from Shannon’s supply list (all on sale!)… and keep reading as there’s that related Voodoo Collection Sale, and a Giveaway based on this Voodoo Shadowbox!

New Noel Paper Pad!
Yes, we’re switching back to the Christmas theme with the NEW Noel 6×6 Paper Pad!
Still love that aqua and red combo! From snowflakes and crackers (the British ones) to mistletoe and poinsettias. 40 pages printed on heavyweight cardstock (4 each of 10 double-sided sheets) with elegant pearlescent and spot-varnish effects. Plus the inner front and back covers are printed with extra ephemera elements.
This pad uses similar hefty-weight paper as the other Craft Consortium Paper Pads.
