New Christmas in July Artwork, Mini Displays & SALE!
Filed under Christmas, Connie Littell, New Furniture, Shadowbox/Room Box
Wow! I love this new Christmas in July artwork by Design Team Member Connie Littell! So bright and cheery (and filled with tons of tiny trinkets).
Here’s a bit of the text from Connie’s blog post to get this tour started:
The setting I used was a Simple Scene Box – Riser Base, which was the perfect size for this project. It was assembled using tacky glue. The walls were papered in red and white and the floor received a hardwood pattern.
I started with a Shallow 3D Fireplace. The interior of the fireplace was covered in dark brick paper which I glued in place prior to assembling it.
The exterior received a raised brick facade by applying modeling paste to a Small Brick Wall Stencil held in place with a bit of painter’s tape.
The Standing Tree Shelves is a brand new piece that gives you a great alternative to decorating a bottle brush tree. Its shelves can be staged with Christmas packages, ornaments, holiday figures, treats, whatever suits your fancy. I painted it a Wedgewood green with a brown base and topped it with one of the Flat Back Gold Star Studs. I think this shelf would also look darling in a child’s nursery setting painted a pastel color.
Read more (and see tons more photos) on Connie’s blog post. Here’s her supply list (all in today’s sale, too)! Now on to a few close-ups…
Starting with that new Standing Tree Shelves that Connie mentioned. See the wide photo below for some close-ups. TONS of little nooks to decorate. It stands 4-3/4″ tall. You could also put it on a small side table for a taller tree.
Oh, and that collage sheet at right? Connie enlarged one of the “Ho Ho HO!” images for her rug (in front of the fireplace)!
Moving on to the new Curio House (on top of the fireplace) AND tons of new metal miniatures (like the 3 candlesticks at right and the 2 goblets at left). Connie painted all 3 sizes of the candles and 1 of the goblets (see wide pic below). Plus she painted the new Cream & Sugar Set, rabbit, kitchen chair (with tiny cat) and Tiny Metal Flower Pot with Saucer (bright red)!
Connie made a tutorial on painting metal miniatures in her blog post!
Now back to that Curio House: A tiny little house-shaped shadowbox, cut from medium-weight chipboard. Stands approx. 2″ tall and 1/2″ deep (inside height of the bottom shelf is 3/4″ so keep that small size in mind for decorating). Plus Connie added red shingles!
