New Seashore Kit, Collage Sheets, Artwork, Sale & Giveaway!
Filed under Art Projects, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Seashore Kit, Shannon Cooper
Before the new kit (and new art!): A BIG SALE: ALL Clearance Scrapbook Paper is on sale at 50% off including TONS of new markdowns!
Note: Clearance Paper Pads/Sets are also on sale! Over 50 pads and 80 single sheets!
The sale ends at midnight PST, TOMORROW night, July 5th.
See the entire sale collection here! And read on as there’s another new sale starting today!
Seashore Kit
A pretty mix of beachy items — in cool, calming colors to offset hot summer days.
Starting with the TWO new collage sheets:
– Shells & Souvenir Postcards Collage Sheet (Tons of illustrated seashells (from Victorian scraps and postcards) and mini versions of souvenir postcards — including some tiny ones sized for 1:12 scale.)
– Aqua Mermaids & Ladies by the Sea Collage Sheet (These were sized to fit inside Altoids Tins (or behind tin inserts). Most of these are aqua green (to coordinate with the paper in the kit) but I added a couple gals in vintage red bathing suits to add some contrast.)
Plus 4 double-sided sheets from the Vintage Artistry Shore 6×6 Paper Pad
A set of the new chipboard Sea Scape Layered Corner
Two vintage patina charms:
– New Medium Patina Starfish
– Brass Patina Conch Shell
Three tiny raw brass seashell charms
A yard of woven sea grass
And finally: A bright and shiny set of new Mini Seashell Sequin Mix!
Go see the new kit for more info and photos on all 9 kit items (plus related new items, a new sale and a Giveaway are below).
Feeling Beachy: Two Altered Tins for Summer by Design Team Member Shannon Cooper!
Hooray! New artwork and a new kit! I’m going to jump to the second tin mentioned in Shannon’s blog post (and leave the first tin as inspiration for today’s Giveaway)!
Ooh, isn’t this a lovely gift?! Shannon made this beautiful bathing beauties tin as a gift for her mother-in-law (“She and all of her high school girlfriends make an annual trip to a beach and spend a week together, so I thought I’d make her a little gift that represents her friendships and love for the beach.”)
See the wide photo below for the inside of the tin (and a preview of Shannon’s mini tutorial on making the artwork). And on that photo: see the little collage of items on the left side? That’s a vintage shell postcard image from the new Shells & Souvenir Postcards Collage Sheet (also in the kit) plus a Fern Frond and a couple pieces from the new Etched Chipboard Seashell Set (against some of the paper from the Vintage Artistry Shore 6×6 Paper Pad).
Back to the tin cover (at right): I love what Shannon did with mixing up multiple pieces of metal charms & filigree! (She painted them all 1 color then highlighted bits with a white pen: covered in her blog post, too.) That large-ish starfish charm on top is also in the new kit.
Here’s the supply list for just this first tin. And don’t forget to visit Shannon’s blog post for more info and pics!

Love the Seashore kit…awesome.
I’m ready to make some Summery fun and mermaid scenes!
My mermaids live in my bathroom and this would be a wonderful addition to the fun happening there! 🙂
Beautiful Can’t go wrong with mermaids
Love the color palette on this!
All of the lovely mermaids, how could I resist?
vintage + iridescence + tins = spectacular
I would craft something to fill the longing I have for the sea.
What a lovely gift!!
Loving the mermaids. Such fun inspiration.
I love all the seaweed cutouts and can’t wait to make some mermaid scenes. I luv all these pieces and charms!
Beautiful! I love the sea + mermaids!
I love the mermaids. Look forward to using them in a tropical island beach scene.
I love anything related to the sea. So many ideas swimming around in my head!
Oh they are wonderful.
I’d make a little memory box in honor of my brother, who loved the ocean.
What a cute kit! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I LOVE Altoid vignettes. And, anything sea oriented.
While I hate sand, I love the colors of the beach and mermaids. This set just looks like so much fun and a great way to keep summer around when we’re dealing with the cold and drear of winter. Love it!
Mermaids, shells, undersea life, what could be better. I’d just love to do more underwater art. My birthday is this month and my sign is a crab, no wonder I love the sea!
Have fully embraced tin art, lol. This is beautiful
MORE wonderful and creative ideas!
I love the kit, I love both tins, I love the mermaid charms!
I absolutely love doing seashore themed projects. Thanks for offering always awesome giveaways!
I love mermaids so this is one of my favorite kits

I love the subject and the beautiful colors! I’m having lots of fun with the tin projects. Thank you for all the great ideas.
The tins are so fun! Love them. I love making tins so that’s what I would make!

Gorgeous! Would make little mermaid scene!!
All of the charms are fun but I especially love the patina scallop shells! Everything is a wonderful collection.
LOVE the tin idea. What a nice green to bring out the mermaid tail blues. This would be a nice addition to my Lighthouse themed bathroom.
I really need the sea right about now. This project will be a close second,tho.
This is an amazing and beautiful kit!
Fantastic tin dioramas! I would make a skeleton mermaid holding a skeleton baby mermaid with some of these lovely items in the giveaway.
Love the summer and the beach, although I am far, far away from any ocean here in Tucson.
So much thought and detail go into these fabulous creations. Makes me excited to try new things. Thank you.
Love the sea tin .I would use the sea theme, but use an old family beach photo for the background.
It would be lovely to have a “mermazing” tin to sit on my very landlocked desk in upstate NY! Just beautiful kit and inspiration!
All of this would work so well with the Nevermore project I’m currently working on. Tempting to order one of each but would
sure rather win it.
That second tin by Shannon is just gorgeous! The layers and the colors are amazing.
Just beautiful. Take me to the sea! I like the thought of tins for this project.
I’m always looking for inspiration for my “seaside” powder room.
So much beauty
This is a cute project. I love all things sea
