Trinket Shrines and New Tim Holtz Candied Apple Red!
Filed under Art Projects, Christmas, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Newsletters, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Tim Holtz
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply lists for both projects on the new site: Rhonda’s Small Trinket Shelf Stand (Indoors) and Small Trinket Drawer Stand (Outdoors).
Before Miz Bella tells you about TWO sweet projects by Rhonda Thomas, there’s a new FREE gift! I was inspired by the images of toys in Rhonda’s artwork and created a new mini collage sheet.
I made miniatures of the tags from the Victorian Christmas Gift Tags Collage Sheet (a perfect little size to attach to a miniature shrine or gift box) AND added some new images of children with dolls and Christmas toys (there’s a whole row of them; you’re just seeing 2 at right).
This Mini Christmas Tags & Toys Gift Sheet is FREE for all orders, regardless of order size (now through December 16th)! If you place an all-digital order, I’ll send you the Gift Sheet as a pdf file.
Design Team Member Rhonda Secrist Thomas has created The Magic of Christmas vignettes to bring you a little holiday cheer with two new Trinket Stands (with an Indoors and Outdoors theme). Laser cut from Masonite (so nice and sturdy), these are both 7″ tall by 4″ wide by 2-3/8″ deep.
The first vignette uses the Small Trinket Shelf Stand that Rhonda has decorated with three different holiday scenes. She covered the stand with scrapbook paper and then added images from different collage sheets (that are on the supply list) on each shelf. My favorite shelf is the bottom one with the Christmas tree (that Rhonda decorated) and toys under the tree; super sweet! I am also enthralled with the tiny snow globe and all of the sparkly snow scattered on the shelves.
Small Trinket Shelf Stand (Indoors) Supply List
The second vignette uses the new Small Trinket Drawer Stand that Rhonda has turned into a winter wonderland. (The drawer stand is the same size as the shelf stand, but with open space instead of shelves.) Lots of trees set the stage for gorgeous glitter and glimmering snow!
Bet your wondering how Rhonda got the snow to look so cool, aren’t you?
“I was able to create my own snow drifts with Dimensional Snow. I love the grainy consistency and when it dries, it is there for good. Before it dried, I added some Iridescent Micro Beads to add just the right amount of magic.”
I really like how Rhonda used the Metal Patinas to color the Snowflake Garland and the use of Micro Pearls on the white tree. The little deer makes the scene – aren’t you ready for the holidays now?
Worth noting: Rhonda used the drawer to create another scene within it, and it also doubles as storage when the stand is not in use.

The final new color to join Ranger’s 2015 Distress Palette: Candied Apple Red. Tim Holtz says:
“Welcome the fairest of them all to the Distress Palette; available in Ink Pad, Reinker, Paint, Stain, Spray Stain, and Marker. Whether it’s the nostalgic memories of a carnival midway, or a fairytale ending in happily ever after, this vibrant red is the perfect color to complete the Distress Palette.“

I really like the one with the little trees in it. its simple and sweet. nice idea. also, you could do it with spring trees and spring type embellishments, fall, summer and then of course winter…..
Tiny bright Christmas scene to put in my daughter’s stocking!
I like both for different reasons. The open one is ideal for creating a larger scene. I think that the one with shelves could be used to create an apartment building scene decorated for a variety of winter holidays.
I would create a fairy “condo” with the trinket stand focusing on Christmas with the wee ones!
My grandaughter would love me to make her a Christmas scene to decorate her room. Either way she would really like it!
I would decorate the Trinket Stand as an indoor trinket hutch and drawer with a little Christmas scene on the top shelf and antique belongings from yesteryear travels. I like the shelves one better for my project, but would use the open one for another project if I had it. I would put a surprise for my grand children in the drawer (probably candy).
I LOVE THESE!!! I love the shelves I would put my earrings in them!!! Thank you
I love love love this giveaway! I’d put wrapped presents in the drawer.
I really like the shelves, probably because most of my displayable trinkets are small.
I love dioramas..I would probably do the story of Rudolph on the shelves or a diorama of The Christmas Carol by Dickens! Thanks for the offer~~
Miniatures are favorites of mine. I could use the shelves for display in a tiny “Christmas shop.”
I would completely do a Nutcracker theme on this stand, this prize would give me just about everything I need to make it. 😀 Not sure yet what I would do with the drawer and I can’t decide between the open one or one with shelves, so many possibilities with both!
Love them both, but I would love to make one with miniature toys in the drawer.
Christmas trees, presents, snow, stars with a blue and white theme
So fun, you have such creative people! I like the shelves, lots of spots to put tiny things!
I love this trinket stand! I collect miniature bears and that would be perfect for them and to display them with Christmas trees, etc. having some of them peeking out of the drawer and lining the back with all the beautiful Christmas papers you all have! such fun!
I love them both but my favorite is the one with shelves and all the toys! I would probably make mine into an shelf from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter with fun potions and scrolls. In the drawer you may find the Half Blood Prince’s potions book…..
I like the open one. I can see a Santa mud room idea.
Once again a wonderful give away. I like the shelves and I know not wit the season would use s steampunk theme to embellish. All the other goodie would not go to waste!
This is so cute. I would put tiny fairies in the drawer and on the shelves.
I like the shelves and would decorate with lace
These are both totally awesome!!! I prefer the one with the shelves because it allows me to create more than one “room” or scene but the one with the drawer is also quite awesome!! I would put fairies on springs inside the drawer so when it is opened the fairies “Hop” out!! So cool!! All of these new boxes and rooms are really making my Fairy Village grow so fast!!! So glad that I found AlphaStamps because you have so many awesome products and the designers give me tons of inspiration!! TFS! Fingers crossed!
A love letter would go in the little drawer.
I have a couple of vintage sprites on a sled that would be perfect to add to a little winter snow scene with the trees and snowflakes done in traditional Christmas colors.
I would crackle and stress the stand…give it an old feeling. As for decorating think i would like to do something with alot of teddy bears!!!!
I can’t decide, I like them both! So many possibilities!
I don’t know which I love best! I love the Christmas one of course but the one with the shelves has so many possibilities. I would love to do a nursery rhyme oriented one with shelves I think. Old Mother Hubbard comes to mind. I love Rhonda’s work :)Wonderful give-a-way thanks for the chance!
I really like the open one and how it is decorated. Might like to do Santa’s workshop with the finished toys in the drawer.
I love the stand wit shelves.I would decorate it as a winter scene, thee middle shelf would be a scene with a cozy fire place , stocking hung from it, and a Christmas tree with lots of toys for girls and boys.the drawer would be filled with toys and sweet treats!
I love them both but would choose the shelves. I would make a Marie Antoinette Christmas! Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the deer with the trees…mini snow globe is adorable as well!!! Very fun 🙂
Love the trinket drawer stand-great for displaying my little miniatures. >^..^<
Hello
I could love to do the fussy cutting with Child’s Christmas Collage Sheet and have the children around a Christmas tree right beside the Trinket Stand
For the shelves the Round Glass Globe Domes would be great to put red color water or red flowers with a bow or candles and crinkle wire
I would have to have a back wall with a window so I could have Mini Snowflake, Frosted White Sisal Trees and the Miniature Reindeer outside For the drawer I like the ideal with the toys in it
You do have so much difference options with the pretty things in your store
Love the little shelf. I’d decorate it for Christmas.
I’m thinking Christmas in Narnia! Now that would be fun! I like both trinket stands. I would put miniature presents and ornaments in the drawer.
Ooh I like both but as I like books I’d be so tempted to create a bookshelf or possibly an apothecary stand with some magickal books on it too :o) The drawer would hold an extra top secret book
I love the one with the little shelves. I would decorate it with different Christmas scenes like Rhonda did, so sweet.
I love the shelf display. I would create a small Chistmas scene on each shelf.
I love the trinket display with the shelves, which I would fill with lots of Alpha Stamps miniature toys and treats! Great giveaway!
I love these, especially the display on the right. Very sweet and old-fashioned!
I love the shelf one! I am thinking maybe a mini women’s accessories display for a store with mini hats and purses! In a drawer type I would put mini knitted scarves!
It would fit nicely in Santa workshop filled with tools and maybe a few toys in need of repair.
Oh my goodness! These are so cute! Love the shelves! I would fill them with a winter wonderland scene! Thanks for the chance!
I would make it a display with miniature snow globes! I love those things!!! ADORABLE!
I’d create an outdoor winter scene on one shelf with children having fun, snow-covered trees, couples strolling and window shopping, etc. On another shelf, I’d have a cozy indoor Christmas eve parlor scene with a tree, gifts, family, pets, and lighted fireplace.
I like the open unit but the shelf unit looks like fun too. I would decorate with some magical southwestern Christmas items.
I think I’d do The Night Before Christmas scene in the one with the drawer. Inside the drawer would be mice Christmas scene!!!
I love the shelf unit…I’d use it to create a scene with some of my tiny childhood treasures that I’ve managed to hold on to; or I’d use it to create a place for some of my smaller crystals in my crystal collection. The snowflake glitter is tempting me to make a little Christmas scene for my best friend, she would love it all done up with the pearls and those lovely snowflakes.
I like the open trinket shelf. I’d make a little “shrine” featuring a relative’s photo and maybe some little trinkets sitting on the bench or in the drawer.
Something on the theme of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I like the one with shelves. I would put alot of penguins and penguin related goodies & trinkets so that I could give it to my daughter. It would be a miniature of how her room looked when she was in middle & high school.
Sorry, I’m not able to pick just one, I love both! I’d fill the shelves one with tiny tiny parcels and an overflowing drawer, the open one I’m thinking of a tailors mannequin with a fabulous dress in progress and lots of fabric and trimmings
I am thinking of a small winter scene inside an acrylic Christmas ornament!
I would use it to hold some of the miniatures carried by Alpha Stamps. Cutlery would go in the drawer.
I love everything in this giveaway! I would use the shelves to display my miniature snowmen! Storage in the drawer.
I like the shelves! I’d make it cute with Christmas themed minis!
ohh ive just got to win this one….its sooo sweet. I would make the stand with drawer open and have items coming out..thank you for the chance to win..and for all the supplies
I love the cabinets.
I like the shelves the best. I would decorate the shelves wit the trees, gnome garden beads, red mushrooms and deer. What’s better than gnomes in the forest?
I think I would make mine similar to Rhonda’s first with the drawer open and toys showing.- I love that one!!
Fingers crossed!
I love the one with shelves. I would make an apothecary and put secret ingredients in the drawer.

Obviously use all materials here and others that I have ordered from here. It is my hopes that this one shall be mine! Lol happy holidays everyone!
