Mini Valentine Displays & Forest Spinner: Art, Sale & Free GIFT!
Filed under Alice in Wonderland, Miniatures, Shannon Cooper, Valentine's Day
It’s almost February (and Valentine’s Day)… I was inspired by TWO art projects by Design Team Member Shannon Cooper (both with lots of pink and red roses). Plus 3 minis are back in stock that are related to both projects, so I’ve created TWO sale collections (including lots of extras beside Shannon’s 2 supply lists).
PLUS a new Red, White & Pink Blossoms FREE Gift!
So starting with those 3 back-in-stock items (all 3 are in today’s sales, too)!
Mini Valentine Displays
Shannon has made 2 tiny (adorable) little Valentine displays! Here’s an intro and some details from Shannon’s blog post:
All of the cakes on the little wire stand? Yep, they are pre-made, they are all available at Alpha Stamps. [Psst… quite a few shown are new today and are on sale — more info below!]
I placed the cakes on a few plates (and cut out a white foam heart “plate” for the top one), and turned one plate into a cake stand by gluing on a white pony bead. After that, all I really did was glue red Dresden trim to the edges of the stand, and poof! A Valentine’s cake display that is 3-3/4″ tall!
And since that project took three minutes, I had time to squeak in another little thing. This one took a tad longer to finish, but only because I painted a microscopic metal jewelry box and made a teensy string of pearls to go inside.
While waiting for the jewelry box to dry, I painted hearts on a white metal bowl, and while that was drying, I dipped the strawberries in chocolate paint. With nothing left to paint, I constructed a heart shaped box and gift bag from the Tiny Little Valentine’s Collage Sheet. The vase is a metal bit that holds a lampshade in place. Why don’t I own miniature vases??
Why indeed! I will get some vases to Shannon ASAP! Here’s Shannon’s supply list for both little displays.

This sale started with the supply list from Shannon’s Mini Valentine Displays artwork. That includes the White Lace-Edged Plate and Miniature White Wire Corner Stand shown above, too!

Alice All Around, A Weird and Wonderful Spinny Thing
My, oh my! This project is so delightful! Not only a tiny room box with 4 rooms (!) but Shannon made Alice scenes in all the rooms! (Scroll down a bit to see 2 wide photos showing some of the scenes.)
I am very excited to tell you about a Quarter Scale Four Scene Room Box – Forest from Alpha Stamps! This tiny thing with its long name is simply awesome! It is two flat chipboard pieces that you can paint (or paper, decoupage, whatever!), assemble, and then affix to the round base. That means there are four little areas to decorate until your heart is content. The whole piece is 6″ wide, so each room is 3″ x 3″, with a bit less space as the floor is round.
And what better way to decorate it than with Alice! And miniatures! And miniature Alice paper dolls! And let’s also make it spin!!! (insert flailing Kermit arms)
Okay, I am getting a little carried away… ahem. But this four scene room box does deserve all of those exclamations.
Ha! Shannon’s project and lively text are much appreciated! Note: Shannon added the Lazy Susan so that the tree can spin (not included by default, but a fun idea).
Plus, what is that little book at left? Shannon also includes an extra Alice project at the bottom of her post!
Here’s a link to all the supplies Shannon used for the Spinny Thing. Be sure to visit her blog post for lots more info & photos (and a video of it spinning)! AND see the 2nd wide photo below (the one with the Queen of Hearts) showing how you can take the characters OUT of the scenes! (Shannon made little cardboard stands for some of her Alice characters, so they can stand up and be taken out of the scenes; perfect for playing paper dolls with a small human.)

This group started with the supply list from Shannon’s Alice All Around, A Weird and Wonderful Spinny Thing. That includes the back-in-stock Mini Blossoms Mix – Fuchsia Pink, too!
Then I added a couple more pink flowers (those scenes above with the Caterpillar & the Tweedles show some pink flowers):
– Tiny Paper Roses – Medium Pink
– Tiny Mulberry Blossoms – Light Pink
(The Tiny Mulberry Blossoms – Bright Pink that are in the gift kit would be a good option, too… note that the red and white roses shown in the scene with The Red Queen are already in the sale group.)
