Twas the Night Before Christmas & Mini Wooden Crates
Filed under Art Projects, Christmas, Featured Artwork, Gifts/Decorations, Giveaways, Lora Mahaffey, Newsletters
It’s a colorful newsletter — from the New and On Sale! Twas the Night Before Christmas Collection to big bunches of New Miniature Paper Flowers!
How cute is that! Design Team Member Lora Mahaffey has made a Christmas Tags and Mini Crate project that doubles as a table (or mantel) decoration and a gift (as each tag in her “12 Days of Christmas” has a little pocket to open and find a treat)! It’s like a mini version of an advent calendar… I think it’s brilliant.
And Lora used papers from the Twas the Night Before Christmas 8×8 Paper Pad on ALL of her tags. Very festive. Plus all the little trims and ribbons (and lots of snowflakes — and those metal number tags from Tim Holtz Countdown to Christmas Coins) are perfect finishing touches. Here’s a link to see all of Lora’s Supplies. And check out Lora’s Blog Post for more info and photos.
PLUS Lora housed (contained? what’s a good word for corralled artfully?) her tags in one of the New and On Sale! Wooden Vintage Mini Crates! Distressed wooden mini crates that are also PERFECT for displaying/holding ATCs (the inside measures 4″ x 2″ — and the height of the crate is 3″). See the photo at left for the size (plus all 3 colors).
And there’s a big brother size of the new crates, too: Wooden Vintage Photo Crates! Also in 3 colors, but large enough for 6″ x 4″ photos (and with cute (and functional) handholds cut into both ends). See the photo at left for both large and small crates. AND both sizes of crates have adorable little Mini File Folders that fit them.
AND: Inspired by Lora’s adorable Christmas Tags and Mini Crate, I’ve put together an exclusive Alpha Stamps’ FREE mini kit with 3 nostalgic papers (with cute mittens with tiny snowflakes on them, plus 2 more coordinating papers including one with a tiny knitwear pattern) PLUS 3 antique silver finish snowflakes (3 different snowflakes, and only available in this gift kit)! Check below for today’s Giveaway that includes this gift kit (and goodies from Lora’s artwork).
