Valentine Sale, 2 Projects by Laura Carson & NEW Free Gift!
Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Laura Carson, Newsletters, Sale, The Snow Queen Kit, Valentine's Day
Before we get to the pretty new artwork, new FREE gift and new supplies, a new sale!
I know… it seems too soon but… ALL Valentines & Romance Collage Sheets are on Sale at 50% Off!
Over 40 to choose from! Like the Winged Cupid, Tiny Little Valentines and Red Roses, shown from left to right.
The sale runs through Monday night, January 15th!
Two Shadowboxes by Design Team Member Laura Carson
Wow (again)! Laura (too) has made 2 shadowboxes for January… I think the Design Team likes the shadowboxes! Beside the beautiful Snow Queen Shadowbox shown below, there’s an unexpected Woman of Mystery Shadowbox (down in the Giveaway section). And Laura has provided step-by-step instructions on how to make both on her blog!
And… the new Snowy FREE Gift Kit (farther below) is inspired by Laura’s Snow Queen Shadowbox! But first, back to Laura’s blog post:
The inspiration for the first shadowbox comes from this month’s kit: The Snow Queen. Through the window you can see a little boy having a magical experience encountering the frosty Snow Queen. She sparkles in the frosty night and the box looks on with wonder. Flanking the window scene are various snowflakes, frosty picks and beads.
Read more (and see many more photos) in Laura’s blog post and explore her supply list (for the Snow Queen Shadowbox). Note: more info on the supplies for the second shadowbox (and a chance to win them!) is down in the Giveaway section!

NEW Snowy FREE Gift Kit!
As I mentioned above, we have a new free gift with all orders starting today (and inspired by Laura’s artwork)! Laura used the Winter Playground Toboggan Scrapbook Paper in her shadowbox; I’ve chosen the related Winter Playground 6×6 Paper Pad, which includes 12 different papers… you’ll get 3 randomly chosen sheets! I’m showing a couple sets of 3 papers as examples in the photo below.
ALL ORDERS on Thursday through Monday, January 11 ‒ 15 (2018) will receive one of these Snowy Gift Kit FREE! In addition to the papers, I’m adding some Silver Stitched Leaf Ribbon, Iridescent Plastic Pearls and a Clear Acrylic Snowflake (and that last is also in Laura’s Snow Queen Shadowbox)!

Hooray for the Mysterious Shadowbox Giveaway!
Oh, I do love this mysterious lady! So much depth and layering and texture… and love the little details like using the negative of the border (chipboard left over when you remove the border) from the Stained Glass Border across the top (painted gold). You can see the border itself at the bottom of the piece.

The snow queen is really pretty. Everything is so pretty put those tiny valentines are adorbs!
The snow queen captures the spirit of winter, elegant and beautiful.
These shadow boxes are stunning! I especially love the woman of mystery
So hard to decide. I think the Snow Queen.
I love the Woman of Mystery. This piece speaks to my love of Morocco, Art Deco, the Twenties, tinged with a bit of gypsy and topped off with a jeweled crescent moon. So many of my favorite things all in one statement.
Would have to make lady of mystery!! but I love the snow colors and sparkles!!
Snow Queen! Although I love it all!
Love the Snow Queen?
I love the Woman of Mystery. She has a art nouveau look to her, which is a favorite style of mine.
Wow! Love the Snow Queen shadowbox! Breathtakingly stunning and awe inspiring!
The Mystery Lady is also quite beautiful in a simpler way. The Bejeweled Moons Collage sheet is stunning and I absolutely must get my hands on it! 😁
I think I would do a Faerie Shrine in honor of the loss of the Tooth Faerie! She was lost on a cold, blustery night earlier this Winter.
When she was wandering around trying to get her bearings the evil trolls took her to their master and he had her wings removed and took all of her Faerie powers away.
She keeps hoping to be rescued but is giving up hope! Who knows what will happen? Thanks for the chance to win this prize package!

What to pick? I couldn’t even decide by tossing a coin! Sparkles, for sure…but a Lady of Mystery sounds fascinating!
I would use a mix of the winter elements from snow queen and combine them with the star and moon elements from mysterious woman to make a winter moon goddess shadow box. I love the bejeweled moons. Very magical.
OMG! I love the woman of mystery!! That’s what I want to CASE! Just stunning! Although the snow queen has got it going on too..is it possible for laura to do ANY wrong??? Love it!
I love the women of mystery too. I would make something with the Casablanca movie theme in mine. Wonderful, wonderful.
I love Laura’s art! I would make a woman of mystery type box. Lots of choices in the giveaway!
Snow Queen!
A mysterious woman woman in a winter scene I think. There’s so many different things you could do 🙂
Laura’s art is just amazing! Lady of mystery? Snow Queen? Both are dazzling! Such creative inspiration!
the SNow Queen is truly fabulous. I would love to make a shadow box of her but admit that the Lady of Mystery is quite wonderful as well. thanks for the give away. Love your work.
The Snow Queen is wonderful, but the mystery woman is irresistible…she takes me back to the old movies that I saw as a child.
Is she the heroine, the spy, the temptress…..or all of them rolled into one character?
I love the Snow Queen but this Woman of Mystery is so WOW
A woman of mystery! So exotic. So striking!
*LOVE* the Snow Queen! Gorgeous! That’s what I’d make!
Anything exotic. Could be men of mystery.
Mysterious woman!
A woman of mystery in a wintry setting? Maybe.
I would love to do the Snow/Ice Queen.
Love the Ice Queen! So pretty!! The window component gives it so much dimension – I would have so many ways to use this piece.
I’m still enamored of the Snow Queen’s crystalline beauty. The jewel-encrusted moons & the stars are making me think a Celestial Queen might be an idea…
I love all of them but my favorite is the Snow Queen!
Woman of Mystery. Congrats to Janet.
