New Wheels & Shrines on Wheels
Filed under Fairy Garden, Kristin Batsel, Nichola Battilana, Shadowbox/Room Box
My inspiration for all these wheeled projects is the new set of Altoids Tin Wheels (shown at left with a Altoids Shelf Insert – 3-5/8 Inch Wide). The wheels are so cute! Made to fit a Blank Altoids Tin (actually a tin with the lid removed).
As they are 2 separate sets (2 wheels with tabs, a horizonal piece connecting the 2 sides, and a dowel), they can be used with the tin standing tall, too.
Then I remembered that multiple Design Team projects involved adding wheels to the Square Shrine Shadowbox — 3 examples are below (all with different themes and sizes of wheels). PLUS even more wheel options below in the sale section.
All of the new items AND the artwork supply lists are included in a new sale collection — don’t forget the sale COUPON CODE noted below for an extra 20% off!
Rolling Wagons (in 3 styles)!
Nichola Battilana made a brace of Thistle Wagons for you to enjoy. (One highlighted here, both shown on the original post.)
“The Thistle Wagons are a forest-y version of the Fairy Godmother Travelling Sales Wagon (shown below).
The base is a Square Shrine Shadowbox to which I have added 2 Inch Spoked Wheels. For the Thistle Wagons, I decided to adorn the top of them with Floral Chipboard Border Strips and some Feathery Flourishes.
Inside the wagon, all manner of items that a forest fairy, sprite, or occasional goblin may like. Roses to turn into a lovely jelly, potions, small pinecones (good eating and helps to sharpen goblin teeth on), mushrooms and keys that unlock enchanted places.“
Here’s Nichola’s Thistle Wagons Supply List. PLUS I added 3 more fairy-themed collage sheets to the sale (see the 2nd row directly below).
Fairy Godmother Travelling Sales Wagon
Oh! Here’s that second project by Nichola — such a different style and still in a fairy theme. The base is the same Square Shrine Shadowbox but this time with Tiny Fancy Wheels.
 |
“There’s a special place in my heart for fairy godmothers. Those fluttery, frilly, silly ladies make me positively giddy. I’ve often wondered where they get their godmotherly supplies from. Is there a shop? A fancy boutique? A travelling salesman!
And so I’ve created a tiny travelling sales wagon with magical and glittery godmother paraphernalia. I’ve added Floral and Lace Border Strips for some flourish and a Mini Chipboard Crest heralds potential customers.
Inside the wagon, all manner of items required for godmotherly duties. Fairy dust, candy, pumpkins to turn into carriages; as well as Absinthe and stout to whet the pallet!”
Other themes that would be awesome in the “wagon” are a travelling bakery, quack medicine, or how about a travelling bar?
Here’s Nichola’s Fairy Godmother Travelling Sales Wagon Supply List (part of today’s sale, too).
Zebra Circus Wagon by Kristin Batsel
That clever girl used the Square Shrine Shadowbox upside down, so the header is a base for the wheels! Kristin added more chipboard to the “upside down header” to support the wheels, so check out her blog post for details. Note: as we moved to a new Web site since that post, the product links on Kristin’s site no longer work. So use this Supply List link.
 |
Kristin added the Cirque Theatre Shadowbox Facade to the front of the shrine (plus the matching Cirque Shadowbox Facades Collage Sheet).
“I got the zebra from my local Michaels store, and then dressed her up for her circus debut. I painted her hooves glittery red with Stickles, and then gave her a ruffle made of pom pom fringe. I also used Stickles to create little red jewels on her crown. She’s so fancy! I added a little 3D trim to the Cirque facade: some black and white braid and some gold star studs.”
Here’s Kristin’s Zebra Circus Wagon Supply List. PLUS I added a zillion (!) collage sheets sized for the Square Shadowbox to the sale (see the 2nd row directly below for a preview).
More NEW or Back-in-Stock Supplies
Lots of good stuff here… a zebra in honor of Kristin’s artwork. And not too early for Easter bunnies!

The Black Cat Cafe & Kitchen Miniatures SALE!
Filed under Laura Carson, Miniatures, Streets of Paris
Lots of new mini bottles & wine glasses arrived this week. Plus more new kitchen miniatures so I’ve put TWO collections on sale (with ONE COUPON CODE that works for both collections, for an extra 20% off the listed prices)! See the sale info at bottom of this newsletter for more info.
One of the sale collections started with the supply list from the amazing Black Cat Cafe artwork by Laura Carson (eye candy and more info below)! Then I added all of today’s new supplies to this new Black Cat Cafe SALE.
The second sale collection is everything tagged Kitchen in the Miniatures section! There’s a bit of overlap with some of the new items but over 100 choices in this second group!
NEW Kitchen-y Miniature Supplies
Psst… There’s one more new bottle set, shown below in the Gift Kit as a mini set is FREE with orders!
The back-in-stock Mini Silicone Mold – Biscuits & Bread at right was also used in Laura’s cafe art below!
See all the new & back in stock items.
Revisiting The Black Cat Cafe
Do you remember that amazing Streets of Paris project Laura made? Her Black Cat Cafe scene included display cases outside the cafe (like the close-ups at left), a patio with outdoor seating, and more seating and a bar inside (see far below for a photo of the bar, plus a close-up of some of the bottles below).
You can view “just” the NINE bottles Laura used in that bar — and the Cafe Bottle Labels Collage Sheet Laura designed for labelling the bottles.
Here’s all of the supplies Laura used in that cafe (inside and out on the patio).
Note: I’ve added some substitutes to the sale, like Dresden borders to use instead of the brass bar trim (in the larger photo below). And from that same photo: a cash register, cake dome, cup of tea, and serving trays.
More substitutes (for items in the display cases): round-loaves bread mold, croissants, set of resin breads.
Come back after enjoying her tutorial videos (plural) for the sale! Note: use my supply link as her post was before we moved the site.

For a simpler project, here’s Nichola Battilana’s Flying Reindeer Sleigh Ornament (more like a centerpiece or decor for a mantel… and those reindeer have a wired harness so they are in mid-air). Nichola filled that bag of Christmas loot with miniature gift boxes made from collage sheets (included in the sale, too)! Here’s a link to Nichola’s supplies. |

The advent calendar has a lot more than seven pieces but it is still pretty easy to put together. Just make sure to give it a dry run before gluing it together as the side cubby divider pieces are nearly but not exactly the same size as the top and bottom cubby pieces and are NOT interchangeable. If you get them mixed up you won’t be able to put the outside edges on correctly. The Tiny Advent Calendar Collage Sheet makes finishing this miniature calendar a breeze! Here’s a link to the list of supplies Teri used AND more photos/info in the original blog post. |
