New Kit for Valentine’s Day!
Filed under Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Newsletters, Pink Valentine Theatre Kit, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Sale, Teri Calia
Pink Valentine Theatre Kit
Oh, this is fun! Not only a new kit (with lots of color and pretty papers) but tons of new collage sheets — and paper theatres to play with!
There is a new Punch & Judy Theatre being announced today (not in the kit, but everything in the kit coordinates with that new theatre). The chipboard facade in the kit can be used alone or with the new theatre (and wait till you see the fabulous artwork today)!
There are THREE beautiful (big, 12″ x 12″) scrapbook papers in the kit. Lovely patterns that work well as backgrounds, plus each sheet has a focal that could be the center of a card or a collage. Nice, heavy sheets, too.
New collage sheets! One of FIVE new collage sheets designed for making paper theatres is included in this kit! Pink Children’s Theatre includes a big facade image, curtains, and a few characters… all sized to fit the Punch & Judy Theatre (the characters are each approx. 2-1/2″ tall). The facade image is sized to fit the entire front of the Peaked Roof Theatre Facade (which is also included in the kit).
This kit is bursting with embellishments, too! Beside those rhinestone hearts and stars (in my hand in the photo above), see below for a better photo of all the Dresden borders! 2 styles in 3 colors = 6 different borders!.
More info about the new kit is on the Pink Valentine Theatre Kit page. And remember to scroll down to the Giveaway on this page for a chance to win a kit plus lots of extras! Plus between here and there, a big bunch of pretty coordinating trims!
Artwork! The first of TWO amazing projects today is by Design Team Member Rhonda Secrist Thomas! (Scroll down just a bit to see a big image with multiple photos.)
Behind Closed Doors is a miniature French ballet theatre that Rhonda made using the kit, the new theatre, and some extras (like chipboard doors, a vintage street scene at the back of her stage, and box feet).
I love that image from the Love Song Serenade paper that’s on the back of the theatre (in bottom right of the photos). That paper is included in the kit, too!
See how Rhonda’s characters are moveable? (Standing in front of the theatre at far left, and inside the stage at top right.) Rhonda shows how to mount the collage sheet images (those are from the Theatre Mecanique Collage Sheet) on the heavy scrapbook paper from the kit and make stands for them (that also blend into the patterned paper on the stage floor).
More info and photos in Rhonda’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies.
Note: Scroll down to the Giveaway on this page for the second art project!

Hooray for the Pink Valentine Theatre Kit Giveaway
Oh my… Teri Calia has merged her (hm… obsession?) love of cats with the new kit to make this Pussy Cat Theatre!
In addtion to the overall cuteness (and putting cat heads on the figures on either side of the stage!), I’d like to point out the lights: See the bottom right of the photos for how Teri hid a Mini String of Fairy Lights in the recessed area behind the facade.
More info and photos in Teri’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies.
Drag yourself away from her blog for a minute though, ’cause there’s a Giveaway below!

Beside one of the Pink Valentine Theatre Kits (that includes TWELVE items all by itself!), this Giveaway also includes:
A Punch & Judy Theatre (well, of course!) As Rhonda and Teri both used the new theatre in today’s art, I just had to include one! But I’d also like to point out: the new Window Shadowbox for Punch & Judy Facades is an alternative (to make a shallower shadowbox with either of the new facades).
More new and old collage sheets, all with characters that fit the new theatre:
– Fairy Ballerinas Collage Sheet
– Mini French Ballet Costumes Collage Sheet
– Marionnette Theatre Collage Sheet
– Theatre Mecanique Collage Sheet (including dancers in both Teri and Rhonda’s artwork)
– Small Cinderella Paper Dolls Collage Sheet (surprise!)
– Note: the Pink Children’s Theatre Collage Sheet is already in the kit, but it also includes more characters.
and
A few more items from Teri’s supply list:
– Sheet of Gold Dresden Wings (the gold wings on the heart medallion at top center)
– Mini String of Fairy Lights
– Mesh Rhinestone Ribbon – Gold (some of this bling is on both of today’s theatres)
– 1/8 Inch Wooden Dowels (see Teri’s blog post for how she used dowels as stands for all of her characters and scenery)

This is such a darling project!

Love all the pink! I would need to make the kittens as I have a herd of cat actors myself!
How awesome! I would make a dreamy Valentine theatre, filled with hearts, cupids,flowers, and of course the darling cats!!! Love it!
Definitely a valentine theater!
The cat theater, definitely!
So cute! I am a cat lover so naturally this would be a fun project to create!
I have a friend who adores cats, and I adore my friend…..who wouldn’t want to make something so cute for a friend! Thanks for the giveaway and inspiration.
Congratulations Jean! So nice to see a friend has won! Enjoy your treats! 😁🎉💥🍾🎊🎆
I love Terri’s pussy cat theater! So many cool ways to change it up to fit anyone’s style! I think I would do an Alice in Wonderland theme since I just ordered a few molds of the A in W characters! Luckily it appears that they are the perfect size for this theater box! How exciting is that??? Thank you for the chance to win this awesome giveaway!

A Valentine theater for me! Cats or couples? Love Punch and Judy too!!!
Both theatres are beautiful, but as a cat fanatic I love, love, love Teri’s cat theatre, so creative….. I would attempt something similar, but would need to include my black cat in it. He loves to pose for photos, so I have lots of pictures to choose from!!
I think I would make a Valentine theater. It would be a great project to do with my granddaughter!
the only comment I have is.. I’ve never won anything in my entire life and I so love your website. I order from you when I have the funds and everything is so adorable. I wish I could afford it all. Keep showing us new things and keep those creative juices flowing. much love
Valentine ballerina cats is what I would do. I think cats dressed in pink ballerina tutus and dancing on pointe would be so cute.
I truly just Love all of your awesome giveaways! Thank you so much! I would make a kitten-fairy inspired, valentines day theater! So fun!
OMG!!! This the absolute best ever. It makes my heart flutter and sing,
Cats in clothes are the most whimsical idea to me. Great artist ideas!
Cinderella – and pair it with the coach kit from last february.
I would love to make the Pussy Cat theater. My young granddaughter has two cats and it would be purrrfect for her!
I love the idea of theatre cats!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cat theater. I would make one as I love cats and love to make anything cats. >^..^<
An 1800s ballerina theater would be the most beautiful images for the women at the time.
A nice kit; definitely must have; and two beautiful projects Need to wrap up the Snow Queen projects and get ready for theaters.
Glory Be! I’ll be busy making a teeny-tiny theater for my grandbabe. We’ll have plays and play. We’ll be busy while Momma is playing with the new baby brother due on February 13. Wonderful fun!
I would love to do a theatre macabre. Maybe some dancing skeletons.
Omg what a awesome idea!!! Love everything about this !! She did such s great job!! Would love to use the lights on a fairy theater!!!
I move the kitty cat theater. I would make one similar
I’d make a Cinderella theatre– with lots of Dresdens!
These.are.wonderful. I love both of them. Probably the little dancers theater would be my choice. They are both wonderful!! I think this is the first time that the theatres have made me want my own. Just beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
Love this giveaway! I would make a marionette theater and string the paper dolls to look like marionettes!
I love the delicate trims. I’d love to make a little theater for my 7 year old grand niece.
This is absolutely phenomenal! I would of course make a ballet theater, with a French theme.
I do like cats!
All you need is love…….
Both theatres are gorgeous. I love the architectural detailing and all the dresden! My theatre would feature a revolving cast of characters, but definitely starting with the small Cinderella…fell in love with her last year. Animals certainly playing starring parts. The color pink tying it all together…what else??! This kit and giveaway is a dream!
I love the theatres, especially the one with the cats. I think it would be so much fun to create a theatre of my own and use Tarot card images for the cast of characters.
What kind of theatre will I make? Hmm… I have an uncut theatre that I picked up in London years and years ago … so I think I would have a theatre that would stage the song “Come Alive” from “The Greatest Showman”. THAT would be fun!
I love the cat theater – I would love to make one myself!
A fairy theatre…Fractured Fairytales meets A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
I think I would do something inspired by the cat theater. It would likely be completely different in style, but definitely feline themed. Maybe a scene from the show Cats?
Congrats Jean! Both are beautiful, but I am a cat lover and sway that way. Like the colored dresden. Thanks for another chance to win a fabulous give away.
After seeing the fantastic cats, I can’t even begin to think of doing anything else! Having both a daughter and a dear friend that would love a sweet cat theater like Teri’s, I would love to do one similar.
Too much fun!
I think the cats are adorable. I would love to make something with that theme.
Would make either of the theaters! I love cats and Fairies! Hugs!❤️
The Pussycat Theatre of course! Thank you for the opportunity to win. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Maybe I’d mix things up a bit and do a cat ballet theater
OH I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I would do an old school Moulin Rouge stage with some lovely ladies and a swing mid-stage just waiting for Satine to hop in and perform! I love this new theater set!
I’d try to make a pussy cat theater .
A dark fairy tale themed theatre would be fun.
I’ve never tried a theater but I think a ballet or kitty one would be fun.
Would make a great Valentine gift!
The theater of the obscure.
This is do adorable. I love the kitties!
Love these items. I would make a pink puppet shrine with lots of sparkles.
All I can say is WOW!
Both are lovely, but I’d have to go with the pussycats 😊
i LOVE MINI THEATERS. hOW ABOUT lITTLE rED rIDING hOOD.
Love the Pussy Cat Theater… that’s what I’d make!
I love the pussycat theatre! I would love to make something along the same lines but with Unicorns for the grandaughters.
Oh my goodness. Those examples are incredible. I would do a fairy tale theater, probably Sleeping Beauty.
These are so pretty and girly! I think I’d probably make a Parisian theater…
I would keep with a Valentine theme
I don’t know what I’d make just now, but with all the pretty components of the Giveaway, something wonderful should come to mind. Thank you for the oportunity to win.
I would use the French ballet or Cinderella images in my theater!
I fell in love with everything about all of the projects. I have a small box with drawers that I believe should fit perfectly on the bottom of the theatre and would fill the stage with my ballerina paper dolls. Thanks for another great giveaway!
All the projects are just too adorable! I’m loving the Pussy Cat Theater…
Thank you for the opportunity to win the giveaway! xxoo
