Halloween, FREE shipping & Black Cat Gift Kit!
Filed under Art Projects, Beneath the Sea Kit, Giveaways, Halloween, Kristin Batsel, Newsletters, Sale
It’s the first day of a long holiday weekend here in the USA. And even though Miz Kristin’s artwork is all cool and beachy for summer, I know her true passion: HALLOWEEN!
As Kristin LOVES Halloween (and I’m getting the feeling you’re all chomping at the bit to jump into Halloween NOW), lots of today’s new items AND the “FREE gift with order kit” are both Halloween themed!
Note: as this is a holiday weekend: FREE shipping on orders over $50 (for orders shipping to USA) now through Tuesday, July 5th. Plus there are extra newsletters & free gifts this holiday weekend, so stay tuned!
Now… today’s FREE GIFT! Note: this one is for orders placed TODAY ONLY (June 30, 2016). The Black Cat FREE Gift Kit includes mini sheets of all the papers in the new Haunted Hollow Bats & Ravens Scrapbook Paper Set — plus a Black Chipboard Scaredy Cat! These kits are FREE for ALL orders! See more photos.
Design Team Member Kristin Batsel has made such a bright, summery treasure chest… I think it would be a perfect keepsake of a summer beach vacation.
“The chest stands on small brass feet, and has a sturdy latch on the front. The sides have fluted ring pulls on them (how else are you going to pick up a treasure chest?), and the lid is attached by hinges. A large starfish charm accents the lid.
“When you open the lid: treasure! This chest is the perfect size to hold three matchboxes side by side. In fact, they fit so perfectly that instead of covering the outsides of the matchbox with paper, I used the paper itself as the outside cover, which allows them to all fit without being too tight.
The drawers of each matchbox have a patina conch shell charm on the front. Pull on that to view the contents of the drawers.”
See all the goodies in the Sea of Wonders Treasure Chest Supply List. Visit Kristin’s blog for more photos and details. (And see below to win most everything Kristin used!)

actually I am seeing a tea chest in my head.. small, but just the right size for my little tea station set up in my studio.
I love the matchboxes! I would hide all my fun miniature sea shells!
Oh this is so wonderful and creative. I would have to say, my favorite hoarded craft gems, metals, etc. Such an awesome project and thank you for sharing it.
Fortunes, I would put a fortune in each matchbox and change them periodically.
I would put things that were passed down to me from family. Such treasures need to be in something like a treasure box!
I would probably need to fill my Sea of Wonders Treasure Chest with some of my many beautiful shells. I haven’t been to the sea for many years and this would definitely help ease my “no-sea-sadness”.
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity!!
What fun give away! I would stash beach photos of our family with little found shells, etc. Perfect!
Wonderful and so inspiring. I would put tiny tags attached to tiny sea shells or ocean gems (sea glass), signed by resident mermaids.
What any mermaid would hide – whozits, whatzits, dinglehoppers and snarfblatts! 🙂
Wow, what a beautiful way to store all my treasures from various beach vacations where I walked along the beach collecting shells and sea glass. Thanks for the chance to win!
3 kids means each gets a matchbox to put their fave beach treasure in and write a small note with their most special memory. I will date the front and make it a time capsule!
I would put pics of my shore memories. Priceless!!!
This is the best one yet! This would be perfect to store my collection of seashells!
Happiness is living by the sea!
Perfect for all my treasured sea shells!!! and my mermaid!
I would keep some special shells in this beautiful little Treasure chest.
Beautiful project!
Would love to have this!
Just love all the ocean treasures!
So pretty & calming to look at! Nothing like the seaside!
This would be a great reason to go on a beach collection expedition!
I like to use small boxes such as this to collect odds and ends. Parts of embellishments I haven’t used or pieces of digital collage sheets I may have cut out but not used.
all the Love trinkets my darling husband has given me through the years because they are treasures.
I recently inherited a box full of gorgeous seashells my mother had; these would go in my treasure chest. Thanks for another terrific giveaway:)
Inside of my chest, I would store/hoard all the teeny shells I’ve collected from all over the world!
Thanks for the chance to win this kit ~
Halloween is definitely on my mind can’t wait for all the new goodies to start rolling in. My favorite holiday! >^..^<
I have an obsession with all things small! I travel a lot and bring back tiny treasures from around the world. This would be an awesome memory box to store those. Thanks for sharing the wealth!
This little treasure chest would be perfect to hold the beaded starfish necklace that I made recently.
Inside the Sea of Wonders Treasure Chest I’d place some precious beach glass and tiny seashells from Kauai, as well as a little mermaid diorama.
I have a bunch of shells that would work perfectly with this. I love small boxes, especially treasure chests, so this would be great to work with.
I have seashells from past trips to the Beach, I would keep them in a Treasure Chest !!!!! Wonderful Give-a-way !!!!
I would store my tiny shells & crystals collection.
I would use the chest to store my artist trading cards. I love what Kristin did with it.
Love all these items I would def make a trunk with them
I love all the little decorated boxes inside the bigger one! Beautiful paper choice, too. The box would be a fun place to store trinkets from trips.
Beautiful kit! Hope I win it!
I have sharks teeth and little shells from my grandma, sea glass a small bits of coral from a dear friend and a few shells I found on my own, this kit would be perfect to make and keep them all in.
Fantastic giveaway! I would hide my charms and fancy beads in the chest!
When I was younger, my aunt and uncle helped us make charms out of tiny shells we found on the beach for a little bracelet…not worth much to someone else, but a treasure to me.
I love the treasure chest, would have to fill it with Alice in her sea scenarios.
I’ll hide my magical jewelry inside!
I love the chest. I’d have to keep jewelry in mine.
I would love this kit. I would probably put jewelry in my treasure chest.
Oh my various mermaid fins, of course!
What a beautiful chest! I would store needlework tools and threads in mine.
Miniature jewels would be in my treasure chest.
I would hide the beautiful little stones i inherited from my late grandmother.
Id keep all my handmade jewelry in it!
This treasure chest is so gorgeous! I would store my bits of sea glass, rocks and shells. Thanks for a chance to win!
I have some awesome treasures I’d put in the treasure chest! I have some special buttons that I saved from my Mom and one of my grandmothers!
This chest would be a perfect place to house my most precious minis until I find a permanent home for them.
I would keep some of my antique buttons in it. They belonged to my grandmother who collected them for years so they are treasure to me. I loves little boxes and chests! Would love to have this.
I love what Jen R said above, about creating a tea chest. I’ve just moved and am in the process of setting up my new studio. Since my room is on the second floor, I’ve been planning a tea station here so I won’t have to be going up and down the stairs every hour during the colder months to keep up with my tea habit. Maybe storing the last of my precious stash of Butterbeer tea and my special skull teaspoon!
Being a water sign how could I not love this waterworld treasure box? I would store the things that give me joy.
Antique, Victorian buttons, assorted by colors into the small match boxes.
What a great giveaway .
Thanks, Alpha Stamps for the chance to win.
All my beach treasures from our vacation to South Padre Island!
the treasure chest is just gorgeous! I would make one to hold precious photos and mementos that are dear to me. 🙂
I want to fill my treasure chest with fairy and magic treasures!
I think I’d steampunk up some seaside resort mementos and stash those in my treasure chest.
Oh! Goodie! I would fill mine with Fairy magic of course! ! Little bottles of fairy dust , pretty fairy clothes all things fairy for me but I love the seashell themed box Kirsten made so pretty!!!! Thank you Alpha Stamps! !!
I love these pieces I have so many ideas on what to make
Amazing chest 🙂 I’m currently looking into Dreamwork so I would fill my chest with lots of little charms and pretties to help have beautiful dreams – and maybe one section with sand, for the sandman!!
I would hide my sons teeth in it
Love the sea treasure chest…great to hold mini seashells and sea glass!!!
If I told you what I was hiding, it wouldn’t be a secret anymore, would it……
According to mythology, a mermaid must have a mirror and comb, along with any shiny-pretties that catch her eye.
This is a “must have” for me. I had a coin engraved for my husband with a special sentiment to carry in his pocket. He doesn’t carry it. I’ve tried different sacks, leather boxes, all too bulky to carry in his pocket.
I would hide a collection of mini sand-dollars that I have been collecting!
This is so beautiful. What a wonderful place to put your special things.
Love sea themes. Great giveaway. Perfect for a gift.
So very, very pretty! I love the colors and the matchboxes stowed inside. A chest like this would be perfect for keeping seashells, tiny bottles of sand and photos from all my past beach vacations with family and friends!
Who doesn’t love a treasure box?
How adorable! I would love to keep my tiny treasures from my nieces and nephews, who love to play on the beach, and give their favorite Aunt the tiny gems they find.
Love this giveaway soooo much!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would definitely hide all my special charms and goodies I use for my art.
Thanks again!
Michelle
What awesome items I would definitely make a collage with them. Thank you
