New Nightfall Lantern Kit, New Room Box & Practical Magic Artwork!
Filed under Giveaways, Halloween, Miniatures, Nightfall Lantern Kit, Shadowbox/Room Box, Shannon Cooper
Nightfall Lantern Kit
October!? And 3 months from now will be a new year. Wow! (That’s both happy and a bit shocked.)
Starting this newsletter off with a colorful new kit, including: new Nightfall Paper with deep, dark night skies plus a new Halloween-themed tea light lantern! (Psst: there are 2 more new lanterns that size being announced today, and a set of all 3 in miniature size; and see below, as Design Team Member Shannon Cooper made a beautiful miniature scene including this kit and more new items!)
See the preview at left of 15 paper flowers in the kit (a mix of SIX different flowers: 1/2″ roses and tiny rose buds; some of each size in black, purple and orange)! And a tiny preview of the new Night Creatures Halloween Polymer Clay Slice Mix that’s also in the kit is at the top of that photo too (perfect for ghouls peeking out in a spooky miniature scene)!
And to coordinate with that new lantern: an LED Tea Light, and small sheets of heavy vellum and orange cellophane so you’ll have options to line the lantern panels.
Go see the new kit for more info and photos on all 12 kit items (plus related new items, new artwork and a Giveaway are below).
Practical Magic Shoppe by Shannon Cooper!
Amazing! Shannon fit so much fun, Halloween-ness into such a small space (the new Simple Scene Box is a shallow space: just 4″ deep for the floor space in front of the wall.). Plus I’m amused by Shannon saying, “I didn’t go overboard with all.the.things, leaving the project somewhat tidy and uncluttered“… true (maybe for Shannon only)!
Here’s a bit of intro text from Shannon’s blog post:
October is here! Time to decorate the house and craft my little fingers off! I managed to sew a bunch of tiny chenille pumpkins to send to Japan before completing a witchy miniature shop for Alpha Stamps (and I also finished a box of Count Chocula. Don’t judge.)
After seeing the Nightfall Lantern Kit, I waffled over what I wanted to do with it. The Nightfall Paper is beautifully rich and is both Halloween-y and not Halloween-y, which makes it quite a treat!
[Aside: Shannon used both sizes of those new paper pads.]
Eventually, I decided to pick up a Simple Scene Box for my new project to create something witchy: a kit with short sides around the front and space in the back to hide wiring should you choose to electrify your scene. It seemed silly not to have a light. Good thing there’s new Tiny Halloween Lanterns! (Hanging from a slightly cropped version of the new Tiny Dragon Sconce.)
The Practical Magic Shoppe is a quaint little place with spell books, potions, and brooms, plus a few odds and ends to spruce up the cottage. Who could resist a winking cat??
I didn’t go overboard with all.the.things, leaving the project somewhat tidy and uncluttered, mostly because the Nightfall paper is too lovely to cover up. There is a Miniature Vintage Cash Register (left unpainted!), an etched Ouija Board 3 Inch Coffin, Pumpkin Lollipops, and a “take an eyeball leave an eyeball” dish at the end of the counter.
Beautiful work, Shannon! See more details in Shannon’s blog post (including a tutorial!) and here’s her big supply list! (And come back to see more new items, plus a Giveaway that includes supplies from Shannon/s artwork!)

Wow! This brings back watching scary movies with my amazing grandmother as a kid. Nothing scared her. I just love this set. I don’t know whether I’d use it all together or use parts to highlight different projects. Just love it.

Oh what a fabulous kit! I can imagine the squeals of delight from the (big and little) kids in our neighbourhood when they see it!
