Red & Pink & Shutters? Plus a Valentine & NEW Free Gift!

Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Laura Carson, Miniatures, Newsletters, Sale, Valentine's Day

Before we get to the pretty artwork, new FREE gift and new supplies, a new sale!

I just put ALL Fairy Garden Miniatures AND Fairy Garden Charms on sale! A big mix of items, including some foliage and things that could work well for Spring/Easter projects.
(Yes, a few beads have wandered into that charms section, like those cute gnomes!)

The sale will continue through Monday night, February 5th 2018, but some are in limited quantities so catch ’em quick!


A Valentine for You by
Design Team Member Laura Carson

We are revisiting a fab project that Laura made for Valentine’s Day last year. And a couple items in it are back in stock.

Do you remember Laura’s Romantic Stationery Caddy?

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.

Back in stock:
House Shrine with Doors – Medium
and
Chambrey Antique Drawer Pulls Set.
Plus the scrapbook papers (on sale!) and the collage sheets (and most of the hardware) are still available, too.

Note: you can see more photos and read more in the blog. And check the Giveaway below for lots of supplies from this project you can win!
 

 
New Red & Pink FREE Gift Kit

Wow. We have a new free gift with all orders starting today, using all the patterns in the new Red, Ivory & Pink Patterns Scrapbook Paper Set!

I added a few snips of coordinating ribbons (about a foot of each, and all from sold out items). You’ll have enough goodies to make a tiny Valentine!

ALL ORDERS on Thursday through Monday, February 1 ‒ 5 (2018) will receive one of these Red & Pink Gift Kits FREE!
