Almost time for Valentine’s Day! Laura Carson has created a Romantic Stationery Caddy that would be a beautiful gift (for a loved one… or for yourself)! We announced these 3 sizes of House Shrines with Doors before the holidays, and I love how Laura pushed it forward to a Valentine theme (and a practical purpose). You can see 2 more projects using these shrines in the blog.

Laura created 2 more collage sheets and a digital set with bubbly (!), romantic Rococo period images (ok… more like an Art Deco interpretation of Rococo, which just makes them more fun and witty). Included are couples, women, men, cupids and other complementary embellishments.
Here’s a preview from Laura’s Blog Post:
Every once in a while I like to make something that is both lovely and functional. When I saw this House Shrine with Doors kit, I thought it would make a great stationery caddy that you could keep for yourself or gift to a loved one or a special friend.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I chose to go with a Rococo period romantic theme. The images I’ve used are from my NEW Amour Collage Sheets. There is also a NEW companion Digital Image Set which contains all of the images from the collage sheets and more. The beautiful papers that so perfectly complement the image’s color scheme are from the Amour 6 x 6 Paper Pad and some of the Amour Scrapbook Papers.
I’ve filled the cabinet with custom paper, envelopes, handmade cards, gift tags, envelope seals, and faux postage stamps. You could also add real postage, address labels and a pretty pen.
To expand the storage space, I added a bin to the back and pockets inside the doors. I used the bin to store the custom stationary and envelopes. The pockets inside the doors were perfect for storing gift tags.
The seals are made using an image from the Amour #1 collage sheet. After cutting out the image, I ran it through my Xyron machine to turn it into a sticker. You could also use the hearts on the collage sheet to make additional seals.

Hey, who won the Gothic Mirror Giveaway!? That would be Sylvia L! Congratulations! Check your email for more info.
I am in love with this idea. What a wonderful gift to give to your daughter or BFF!!
So sweet! Aside from Christmas, Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday!! I love all the hardware that goes into the design!
Yes, This would be a great valentine gift for my daughter!
I would make a Frida shrine.
Oh I don’t even know what to write here! I love this giveaway!!! I think I might actually make the caddy because I actually have a pen pal or two lol. But I can see an Alice shrine too. Actually the caddy would make a wonderful personal altar with all your needed bits and pieces in it. I travel for work so something like that would be a wonderfu thing! I guess I know what I would make now… the altar yep
This is way too cute of an idea to not be pilfered! I love it!
I would make a tiny library with many tiny books and some suggestions of characters from favorite books and some quotes.
Oh my goodness. This is darling! I would love to recreate something like this for my sister.
Beautiful.
I’d use the box for the top of a shrine with a long scroll hanging from the bottom.
Most definitely a stationary caddy, I could really use one.
I love the tiny house shrine and would like to use it to display my miniature cat figurines. I would make shelves to fit more of them on it. >^..^<
This is an awesome giveaway. I would create a fairy post office/cards and letters projects. I love fairies and can think of so many ideas to create their mini post office and/or cabinet to store all their magical belongings.
I love this, but i think I would make something Alice in Wonderlandy
I would use it to keep my smaller greeting cards & envelopes in that I use to send swap items. I wouldn’t use a Valentine theme as I would want something that’s year-round. Not sure what that would be.
I would not change a thing. I love it
I love Valentine’s day so i would make something that includes the queen of hearts!! I enjoy scrapbooking, cards and altered art!!
I make handmade cards this would be perfect to store them in !!!!
I’d make a fairy queen’s wardrobe/wondercabinent.
I would make an elaborate wardrobe filled with beautiful gowns!
Love the House Shrine! Awesome project for storing handmade cards and postage stamps. This would be very handy!
I love the new postage collage sheet! They are so sweet and pretty! I think that the faeries are due for a new place to rest their weary heads and I can see this being a portal to another land where the faeries are able to shop for new wings, fancy shoes and what self-respecting faerie doesn’t want to wear a tiara and other pretty jewels?
Now that I am writing this down I am thinking that this could turn into a whole other world being added to my faerie village!
Fingers crossed that I get the coveted email saying that my faerie world will be expanding sooner than later!!
macaskillbarbara @yahoo .com is how you can let me know if I am the lucky winner!
love this I would love to make a shrine with the items I would love to win this thank you
Love the size and style of the caddy/cabinet! Finished and embellished, I would use it to house my little collection but elegant of wax seals and sticks .
This is so cute. I would love to do a mermaid shrine
Love the idea of the stationery caddie.
I so love that stationary caddy- i would decorate it in a similar way as you posted – I would make some personalized stationary and matching envelopes that have a variety of designs ( especially for the different holidays) – I would also store a small calendar inside and an assortment of birthday cards!
I would create a shrine to my beloved kitty, Katie. After 22 years of devotion and companionship she passed away. I miss her and think of her often. The shrine would be a therapeutic and fun way to remember her and all her antics.
So many possibilities!! Christmas? Halloween? Spring? I can’t decide!!
What a precious give away!! Thank you so much for this offer!! Smiles!
I think a stationary would be a great gift for my granddaughter. She sends thank you cards when she receives a gift and this would be a good way to keep her cards straight and in good order. Thank you for giving this nice set away.
I’m not sure exactly what I’d create but there would certainly be several options–Christmas, Valentines…. Thanks for the opportunity to win. This is certainly an awesome giveaway.
Well, I love stationery and actually still write letters. So this is a wonderful project that I will most definitely do if I am the lucky selected one.
I would like to make a card holder using all these wonderful papers and designs.
This is too gorgeous!!!!!!
I love these things.
I never have made anything for myself, but this I would make a stationary box and a place to store my newly created cards.
Thanks for the gifting offer!
I love this! It would be perfect to decorate and keep all of my art journaling scraps in and with all the extras you’ve included, it would be so pretty sitting on my supply shelf
I would make a throwback to the boxes I used to make in gradeschool to receive valentines from classmates. It’s a wonderful giveaway! I think it’s in my top 10 favorite giveaways! 💜❤
Congrats to Sylvia! I think this is so sweet, I would probably make a ‘something else’ shrine! lol Love all the papers in this giveaway, soo pretty
I absolutely love the houses…as for me I would make a memory shrine…to honor my beloved father…..I can picture it on my shelf…..thank you for the wonderful products and the chance to win….big ladybug hugs…lynn
I think a closet or armoire with a wool roving and wire
Closet monster inside.
The one who tries on your shoes and knots the laces.
Hangs your sweater crooked and misplaces one glove.
So all those little things could be there too.
I think a little light is needed and the battery and wire can go behind.
I would make a Halloween closet (for skeletons)
I want to make a armoire with funky clothes hanging inside!
This is awesome! I would make a witch armoire for all her clothes & hats!!
I think I’d make one similar to this but I’m not sure what I’d store in it. Maybe to store all my favorite pictures – the ones of family and friends and landscapes that make me feel happy! I love this giveaway!
I’m so excited I found your Website. You have broaden my art process with Steampunk from jewelry, top hats, goggles, to canvass and shadow boxes with my Steampunk finds. Tx, your paper is beautiful. Barbara
A wonderland, like the secret garden
I love this idea. I’m not sure whether I would make a stationery caddy or some kind of other cute supply holder.
Love, Love, Love the Stationery Caddy idea! I would want to make something like Laura’s!!
I’d use this to make a shrine-possibly a mermaid themed shrine.
I think that this giveaway has all the ingredients for a delightful 1:12 armoire or a 1:6 cupboard. Thanks for offering this.
