Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.

So many things have arrived this week, mainly from orders placed in January at CHA (the Craft and Hobby Association’s Winter show). So grab a cup of your favorite morning beverage and take a break.

New Tim Holtz-Designed Supplies

Timepieces
Set of 5 vintage-inspired watch faces designed by Tim Holtz. Fairly heavy… not lightweight stampings. Flat on the back.

Adornments Charm Pack
Set of 8 beautiful, antique silver charms. Flat on the back. 2 birds, a fleur de lys, wings, a star, a heart and 2 crowns.

Foundations (Box Feet)
Set of 4 vintage-inspired box feet designed by Tim Holtz. Again, fairly heavy… not lightweight stampings. Shown with a Jumbo Diorama Box. The feet can be glued on or nailed/screwed on (there are holes in the bottom).

Brass Box Feet
(Not by Tim Holtz, but while we’re looking at box feet…) Set of 4 lightweight, ornate, raw brass feet. Shown with a Large Deep Diorama Box. The feet can be glued on.

Locket Keys
Set of beautiful, antiqued escutcheons, keys & tiny nails/brads designed by Tim Holtz. Fairly heavy… not lightweight stampings. Escutcheons (key hole plates) are flat on the back; keys are 3D. 4 keys, 4 escutcheons, 8 matching color nails.

Oddities Cling-Mounted Stamp Set
An engraving of an eye, an eye chart, a bee (or wasp?) and a fortune teller’s palm reading chart.

Four separate cling-mounted stamps. Comes on a plastic sheet (for storage). Overall size is 7″ x 8-1/2″ (the eye chart is 4-1/2″ tall).

Paper Dolls

5 Paper Doll Clear Stamp Sets
They coordinate with the each other (and the stamps in the Marie Antoinette Jumping Jack Stamp Set are also in the same scale). As there are lots of Harlequin diamond patterns, the images from the Venice Theme Page would look great with them, too.

4 Paper Doll Collage Sheets
Clothes (& arms & legs & faces) sized for the Paper Doll Clear Stamp Sets (just mentioned). 3 of the new sheets were designed by Teri Calia, so, well… they’re all cats.

4 Faces Stamp Set
While we’re on the subject of paper doll stamps…
What a bunch of cuties (with expressions from happy to amazed to disgusted)! I imagined them stamped on Easter eggs to make Humpty Dumpty figures. Or maybe for a cloth doll, the sun or the Man in the Moon. Each approx. 1″ wide. The mounted version comes on a cube.

New Dresden

Acanthus Leaf Decorations
Elegant and beautifully detailed. Set of 11 large and 4 small. Entire sheet is 4-1/2″ tall.

Tent Curtains
(Shown in the large photo at right.) 4 sets of curtains: 4 curtain tops and 4 post bottoms (and double-sided, so foiled on both sides). One of the curtain tops is 2″ wide.

They’d make lovely curtains for an ATC (or 4 ATCs).

Fringed Curtains
I love the tassel details. 3 sets of curtains: 3 curtain tops and 3 bottoms (and double-sided, so foiled on both sides). One of the curtain tops is 3-1/8″ wide. They’d make lovely curtains for a diorama box.

Red Foil Roses
Very red roses. Set of 4 small and 6 large sprays. Each large rose spray is approx. 3-1/4″ tall.

Blue Rosettes
Set of 4 (2 each of 2 designs). Each is approx. 1-5/8″ diameter. Double-sided (blue on the back side) although the embossing would be debossed.

Blue Doves
Set of 5 large doves, 3 small doves and 3 small flowers. The entire sheet is approx. 4″ wide.

Black Swans
Matte black. Set of 9 swans.

Gold Dresden Rabbits
Set of 6. Approx. 2-5/8″ tall.

Gold & Black Corners
Use for corners around a photo, or just as decoration. Each corner approx. Sets of 12 corners, each 1″ x 1/2″. Also available in bronze.

Turquoise Grapevine Border
Set of six 7″ long strips (each approx. 1/2″ wide).

Red Medium Glass Trumpet Flowers

16mm Open Round Cloisonne Beads

A powdered colored glass enamel is then painted between the partitions and then fired to melt the glass.

 
A Few More (Paper) Flowers

Windsor Roses

Paper Leaves: Jade
Embossed mulberry paper leaves in a sage green (with a bit more blue in the hue than the sage in my kitchen) with just a tinge of a rosy pink around the edges of the tips. Approx. 1″ to 2-1/4″ in length.
