Enchanted Forest Collection & Grimm Collage Sheet Sale!
Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Grimms' Fairy Tales, Lora Mahaffey, Newsletters, Sale, Tristan Robin Blakeman
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.
Not only art projects by 2 Design Team Members, I’ve just put the ENTIRE Brothers’ Grimm Fairy Tales Collage Sheets on sale for 50% off now through Monday night, May 2nd!
40 collage sheets from sweet to spooky! And the sale section includes 3 of the new collage sheets announced today!
Hello all. Both Bella and I are a bit under the weather today. Luckily Design Team Members Lora Mahaffey and Tristan Robin Blakeman have created beautiful artwork with the new Enchanted Forest Collection papers. (So you’ll be happily mesmerized by the pretty pictures and forgive this short newsletter.)
I created some new collage sheets to coordinate with the new collection — used by Lora for her 2 witty ATC boxes: Fair Maidens and Evil Queens (also using the ATC Sized Faux Book Box that was announced last week).
(I love the little hidden compartment in the back of the Evil Queens ATC Box, filled with bottles of poison…)
Since the Grimm Collage Sheets are on sale, that means the Rapunzel, Evil Queens and Grimm Covers #3 Collage Sheets are new and on sale at 50% off! There are 2 more new collage sheets, too: Fairy Tale Book Covers Collage Sheet (swoon!) and Fair Rosamund Collage Sheet (both of those are also on sale)!
That amazing castle below (with an album tucked away behind those double doors) was designed and hand-made by Tristan! I think he must have used every sheet of paper in that big 12×12 pad! And what attention to detail: from the fairies frolicking on the walkway at the top, to the princesses on balconies on each of the towers.
See more photos and learn more about Lora and Tristan’s project in their blogs (click those links on their names). And enter the Giveaway drawing below to win products to make your own Enchanted Forest/Grimm artwork.

I like the idea of a series of shadowboxes with the fairytale theme.
The ideas inspired by these projects are just running through my head! I think I will have to call in sick tomorrow and hit my craft room!
Don’t know yet but everything looks fabulous.
Fairy tales are my favorite!
A pop-up book
I would make a fairy castle of course!!
Thanks for the chance to win all these goodies!!!
Love the facial expressions! They’re wonderful.
Wow! Fairy tales & folklore are among my favorite themes!!! Would love to win this great assortment! Blessings, Lori
You know how much I love to make fairies-anything, so definitely a fairy or queen album using the castle:) Thanks for such a wonderful fantasy giveaway. Hope you feel better soon:)
This is one of the most delightful collections yet! Fairy Tales are part of a balanced reading diet for children–and adults.
What a wonderful collection! My mind is spinning with ideas. Thank you for putting this together.
Love all the art! I’d make a collage.
Love fairy tales and this all makes me swoon.
Have no idea what I would create but I will lovingly pet everything while I decide. 🙂
Hello,
I would definitely make a castle and use the papers to decorate, also an ATC book and box to go with it. The collage sheets are so richly colored, I am entranced!
I want to live there! How delightful! I love fairy tales! We love Grimm so this would be perfect! Not sure what i would make but would love these to play with!
I would make a fairy tale castle album for my daughter who loves Grimm’s fairy tales.
I would really like to make a storybook diorama, and also am impressed with the castle, I’d love to make one! Fairytale themed items are my favorites!! I’ve been oogling G45’s new Enchanted Forest for some time now, this would be a real treat!
Fabulous papers & a castle…..what more could you ask for?
Evil queens. Off with their heads! My son photographs abandoned decaying 100+ buildings, particularly mental asylums. I would build some kind of dark asylum with the castle. Sorry…I’d go dark rather than dreamy. 🙂
It’s all wonderful, would love to win. Everyone needs a castle.
I would love to make my own fairy tale castle!
Wow! What a great collection to play with!
What a fantastic set this is! If I won, I’d love to make a fairy tale shadow box. Thanks for the opportunity to try.
Love the projects today. The ATC box is great love to make one too. Also, Tristan’s castle and mini album are amazing-love all the beautiful colors. >^..^<
Oh yeah! This is totally up my alley – I would make a set of houses and places to go with my Halloween stuff focused on witches and villains – but with enough heroes hiding in the shadows!
I would love to makea mini album and atc box with fairyland and grimm collage sheets…yum!
I’ve got a chunky book to decorate…or maybe a castle, a la Tristan
I won’t know quite WHAT to make, till I get my mitts on all these lovely items– I just hope I can turn out something as lovely as I;ve seen here!
Oh this is one of my favorites. I love all the collage sheets and the chipboard castle. I must get some of these. Thank you.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO! I would make a few homes for my Fairy Village that is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to Alpha Stamps awesome store and DT inspiration! LOVE Enchanted Forest and have a few ideas floating around my head that are just waiting to come out into the world!!!
Tristan’s castle is divine and delightful!!! LOVELOVELOVE!! TFS!
I just love these projects for the new Enchanted Forest collection. Such inspiration!! Thanks for the chance to win.
Beautiful variety of goodies. I think something in the fairy princess theme might be a possibility. Once I’m the lucky one to receive these wonderful things, I’ll ponder it some more. 🙂
I love everything about this collection! I will work perfectly with Graphic 45 Enchanted forest papers! Can’t wait to get started on a Castle and mini album to go inside.
What lovely works! Fairy tales are so fun because you feel like a kid playing again, and you don’t have to feel guilty! I would have to decorate that awesome castle. Thanks for the fun!
These projects have left me speechless, good thing I’m typing. LOL The creativity is out of this world. Absolutely incredible work!
Love that Evil Queens ATC box…. I would love to make one! Beautiful papers and projects!
Enchanted
Our Club’s workshop chair recently made a proto-type of a fairy home. These items would be perfect to use for it. Another project to do – how thrilling!
A house for the fairy queen of course!
This collection would make a beautiful Photo Journal.
I would have to get all of these goodies in front of me…and then let them do the creating…love the colors and the energy that they give.
WOW!! Just WOW!! THE CASTLE!!! OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!
Beautiful projects!
I’m not sure what I would make, though I would use the collage sheets & paper on the castle.
I’m not sure if I’d make the ATC box or a fairy tale shadow box…or both!
Cant’n make up my mind between a Romeo & Julet love castle or a Rumpelskinen tower with Rapunsell (?)
. Maybe both.
I would make ATCs, these images are so beautiful.
I would love to make this for my grown grand daughter who we have always called the pretty pretty princess. She would love it and I would love to make it for her.
Got-to-have the castle book! The paper and new collages look yummy. Can’t wait to start designing the fairy tale world!
I would definately make an enchanted trunk to house a mini album. I’m going to be getting a pad of this papers for the album…and definately need a secret trunk. Wow fabulous prizes.
I love all these collage sheets and the castle. I would make some kind of 3-D castle with a lot of princesses in the their rooms!
I’d love to make a castle full of evil queens.
Love the fairy tails!
I like (and study) fairy tales and folklore, so naturally I like this stuff fairy much! If I won it, I would create fairy tale stationary and/or fairy tale-themed book displays. Some would probably contribute to a fairy-tale storybook-themed tree. Thank you for this opportunity!
What beautiful collage sheets. I would love to use these for a box for my grand-daughter.
I would have to do something medieval ! These are wonderful!
A medieval fairy tale album! (Funnily enough, I accidentally minored in Medieval Studies in college. Yes, accidentally.)
I love this so much! I have so many ideas, but first I would make a beautiful gatefold not-so-mini album.
The album is just waiting to be filled!
I would make a castle and pixie book with my granddaughter.
Love the Grimm’s fairy tales!
I am so making a tin with rapunzel and her long hair- going to make sure her boyfriend and the witch are included!! Love that you are bringing back the old fair tales !!!
ooohhhh-la-la I love the sparkle and will play with my grandbabies!
I love it all but especially the castle album. If I had these things I would make the album for sure. It would make a locket story book type card for someone dear. A real keepsake for a grandchild. The papers are beautiful and I love Tristan and Bella’s artwork 🙂
Sorry i meant Lora :/
I’d do a mini album for Mother’s Day !!
I’m not sure yet, but what a wonderful collection to begin a fantasy.
What would I make? Not sure of the details but it would definitely be for my granddaughter! She is such a little princess! Thanks so much for a chance to win this beautiful collection!!
Omg these are awesome I would definitely make ac3D collage with these items
I think it would be a matchbox….the images and papers are so beautiful…thank you thank you
OMG! This is just magnificent! This would remind me of when I saw the Brothers Grimm in the forth grade.
Such beautiful inspiration! I would have to make the fairy tale castle just come to life. Thank you for the chance to win these beautiful items. I know I can put them to great use!
Not sure what I would make but love the castle and the papers!
These are my favorite papers, for now anyway, from G45. So this blog post had me hooked from the 1st word. All of the beautiful creations just blew me away and I’m going next to each blog so I can read every word of how their pieces were created!
I would be able to finally create the paper puppet theater that I’ve been dreaming about making for my 4 year old niece. She would love the fairy tale theme.
Love this and would love to make this for a dear friend’s little girl!
I love the Enchanted Forest papers! I would make an Enchanted forest book with these richly colored papers.
I adore fairy tales and will create a mystical story to display on top of my bookshelf. A magical story about beginnings and the blossoming of spring!
I would make a castle art journal. love this giveaway!
Not sure what I’d make, there are so many possibilities!
Castles and fairy tales, so many possibilities!!!
I fell in love with the Graphic 45 paper and immediately thought Fairytale book or journal. This kit has everything I would need! Hope I win. The collage sheets are beautiful!
