Seashore or Circus? (+ July Kit & TWO Giveaways!)
Filed under Bella Ayers, Cirque Paper Theatre Kit, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Kits, Newsletters, Sale, Summer/Beach
Wow… what a choice. Go to the beach or run away and join the circus?
Beside the obvious beach theme in the New and On Sale! Seashore 6×6 Paper Pad, we’ve also got the Brand New (and On Sale!) Come Away with Me Collection! With a vintage world travel theme (and with some cool turquoise colors throughout) this group feels like a summer beach collection (and works well palette-wise with the By the Sea Collection, too). Photos and links to those papers and some additional beachy items are below.
But since this is almost the first of July, it’s time for the July Kit announcement! After all the fun with the paper theatres in the June kit, our July kit is Cirque Paper Theatres — with more collage sheet images sized for the cute, little Small Paper Theatre Boxes (also included in the kit and the same size shadowboxes as in the June kit, so the collage sheets from June can be mixed & matched with these new July ones, too).
I’m including FOUR collage sheets in the kit, with circus images or more facades/curtains for the shadowboxes (and all are On Sale! in case you’d like to buy them separately):
– New! Paper Theatre Cirque Collage Sheet (with a Cirque facade perfect for the front of your theatre, and a goodly sized background with waving banners, too)
– New! Tall Paper Theatre and Curtains Collage Sheet (with a large, tall theatre facade sized to fit the Small Paper Theatre Boxes and some gorgeous curtain options)
– New! Small Scenic Theatre Curtains Collage Sheet (with lots more curtains, that also fit the tall theatre facade on the last collage sheet)
– Aerialists Collage Sheet (trapeze artists (mainly women), jugglers and some high-dive acrobats)
AND I’ve included THREE 12″ x 12″ scrapbook papers that coordinate with the New and On Sale! Anthem 6×6 Paper Pads (a nice set of stars, stripes and related designs; and some random non-flag items like vintage playing cards and almost-carnival banners).
The kit also includes:
– New and On Sale! 1/8 Inch Red Railroad Stripe Ribbon
– Bakers Twine – Red On Sale!
– One of the chipboard Small Paper Theatre Boxes (more are available separately, plus an acetate insert window).
– A custom sequin star mix (that includes some of the Mixed Star Sequins)
And, in honor of this month's theme, I've put the ENTIRE Circus/Clowns Collage Sheets Section On Sale! (And that also includes the FOUR collage sheets in the kit!) Catch it quick as the sale ends July 17th.
And did you see that adorable sample theatre (above) by Design Team Coordinator Miz Bella (Kim Ayers)? Too cute!
In addition to the parts from this kit, Miz Bella also added characters from the On Sale! Circus Parade and Tiny Circus Collage Sheets (and Gold Baroque Dresden Borders and On Sale! Narrow Gold Metallic Braid).
Beside more new goodies related to the theme, see below for info about today’s TWO Giveaways; one that includes one of the new kits and a bunch of related goodies, and the other is a paper theatre by our Guest Designer Teri Steele!
And don’t forget: last Thursday we announced a FREE Steampunk Gears Collage Sheet. FREE for all orders over $20 through TOMORROW, Monday, June 30th! More info and a photo are below.

Hooray for the Sea & Cirque Giveaway! AND the Seashore Theater Giveaway!
Yes, TWO Giveaways today! Beside the Sea & Cirque Giveaway shown at right (which I’ll explain a bit in a sec), our Guest Designer Teri Steele has graciously offered her Seashore Theater! So I’ll be drawing TWO names tomorrow night!
On to describing what’s in the Sea & Cirque Giveaway:
– It’s a little hard to see, but lined up back there (under the Small Paper Theatre Box and under the collage sheets in the foreground) is a set of all 16 sheets from the Seashore 6×6 Paper Pad! (one each of all the designs in the pad)
– A couple collage sheets Miz Bella used in her theatre:
– Circus Parade
– Tiny Circus
– And to tie in the circus and beach themes a tiny bit:
– Clowns At the Beach Collage Sheet
AND the Tiny Burnt Orange Alpha Stickers just added to the Clearance Section.
To enter BOTH the Sea & Cirque Giveaway and Seashore Theater Giveaway drawings all you have to do is leave a comment BELOW on this blog post TODAY OR TOMORROW (the deadline is 11:59 pm PST (that’s Pacific Standard Time!!), MONDAY NIGHT, June 30, 2014).
Don’t forget to leave your (hello! correct) email address, too, so I can contact the winner; your email address does not need to be made public. Note: I’m offering free shipping, too, but only within the USA. International shipping will still apply.

You always have such great little bits and pieces to go with the various themes! I love that it’s a vintage circus – and not the modern circus, which totally lacks the charm of the circus of old.
I just love the circus!

My fingers are crossed…I love the circus!
I’am running out of wonderful adjectives for you give aways. They have all been wonderful and would love to win one.
