New Halloween & Fireplace Props; 2 Collections on SALE!
Filed under Halloween, Miniatures, Shadowbox/Room Box, Shannon Cooper
Two cute 1:12 scale fireplace screens are new today (see photo at right). Which led me to put together a “Fireplaces” collection (and now on sale)! A big mix of things from 1:12 chipboard fireplaces (3D or facades) to collage sheets to a tiny fireplace in “Dollhouse for a Dollhouse Scale” (1:144 scale).
Those reminded me of a fun Halloween room box with a fireplace that Shannon Cooper made — all the supplies are on sale, too (eye candy below)! Plus I added a big bunch of bonus supplies (details down in the “recap” section).
And there’s a couple early-bird Halloween new things. And a couple more cast metal 1:12 scale scenic props… all the new things are on sale (in one or the other sale collections). More info below.
25% off the Sit a Spell Room Box and Fireplaces collections, through WEDNESDAY night, April 15th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
The automatic discount is off the current price shown on each item’s page. That means any Clearance items in the sale groups are over 50% off original prices!
Fireplaces Sale
25% off on EVERYTHING in this collection!
That Wide Metal Standing Picture Frame at right is back in stock (with Vanity from a Steampunk Boudoir artwork by Laura Carson; more info).
The first row below are all new today! (Not all fireplaces, but the new cast metal 1:12 scale props are in this sale collection.)
Here’s some more fireplaces in this first sale collection; see them all here.
Sit a Spell Mini Room Box by Shannon Cooper!
Woohoo! Bring on the Halloween “orange, green, purple and black”! Shannon built a fun little Halloween scene in a 7×7 Corner Room Box that is packed with tiny little props, all perfectly painted or labelled to coordinate with the theme.
With lots of furniture in a small space, Shannon made good use of the Shallow 3D Fireplace.
I fit a 1:12 Corner Cabinet, Shallow 3D Fireplace, a Tall 4-Panel Art Nouveau Screen, and a Chaise Lounge Kit that I made many moons ago in a 7×7 Corner Room Box.
I started by painting all of the furniture and the edges of the room box black, then assembled the pieces before adding scrapbook paper. The Shallow 3D Fireplace is super easy because all of the detail work is already done on the Victorian Fireplace Collage Sheet. Just cut out the parts and glue in place. The mantel is a rectangle of basswood painted black. Easy peasy. The tutorial for assembling and upholstering the chaise lounge can be found here.
Note: lots more photos are on the original post.
ALL of Shannon’s supply list (plus a few bonus items — and a couple new Halloween things) are in the Sit a Spell Room Box collection!
Here’s examples of clearance items in this sale (over 50% off)!

The Beekeeper’s Workshop by Connie Littell
Connie’s The Beekeeper’s Workshop project is such a delight. The structure is a 7×9 Corner Room Box so you can get a sense of the sizes (and ’cause it’s part of the sale)!
Here’s a bit of the text from Connie’s blog post to get us started:
I adore bees, they are some of nature’s most indispensable creatures. At one time, my husband and I had the privilege of being beekeepers and got to observe their social interactions up close. We fed them through the winter and they provided us with delicious honey in the summer. I sold our honey products at the local farmer’s market every Friday morning. We carried homemade soap, beeswax candles and assorted containers of sourwood honey from our homestead. Our kitchen was the setting for all the sticky messy bee-related activities. Years of daydreaming about having a separate space just for that purpose was the inspiration for this miniature workshop.
Connie provides lots of tips on putting the scene together and how she made tiny honey jars and bee decor.
Read more on Connie’s blog post. Here’s her supply list (all in today’s sale, too)! Bonus: check the 2nd row below for some of the clearance items for double savings.
A few of the CLEARANCE items in the this sale group
Filling Easter Baskets Room Box (also by Connie)
This is such a sweet (and happily colorful) project for spring. And a good example of the 7×7 Corner Room Box. The supplies from this Filling Easter Baskets Room Box project are also on sale!
A bit from Connie’s intro:
I used a Small Trinket Shelf Stand to display the finished baskets. It comes with a drawer that fits at the bottom. I chose to leave it out in order to give myself more room to display everything. Before assembling it, I used the rear wall as a template for the paper on the top shelf.
I added two of the 1:12 Shelves on the right wall of the 7×7 Corner Room Box, and framed a few sweet bunny prints using the Mini Frames Set and images cut from the Peter Rabbit and Bigger Bunnies collage sheets.
Beside the photo at right, see even more photos on the original blog post (though check back here cuz I’ve added new Easter options as substitutes for some sold out items).
Everything in Connie’s Filling Easter Baskets Supply List is on sale through April 8th (and check the 2nd row below for some of the clearance items for double savings).

And bigger ones…
And a matchbox for a shaped accordion book
Laura Carson made a Miniature Conservatory (with faux stained glass windows) that would be beautiful sitting on a windowsill.
Laura used 2 of the Mini Conservatory Accordion Books (and cut the panels apart so she could sandwich stained glass “windows” between each of the 2 matching panels). She then used metal hinges to hinge the panels together.
More info on Laura’s project and her supply list.
Some collage sheets sized for the accordion book are on sale, too!

Kitty Cat Buttons?!
Such a cute group! Some were used in a sewing-themed kit about a decade ago (!), others are new. (Check farther below, too, as they’re shown in artworks AND they’re in the Free Gift Kit!)
Artwork with buttons! Oh, these are just adorable! Both projects include one of the Big Eye Anime Cat Buttons.
First is the Cute As A Button Tin by Shannon Cooper.
Beside the tin and the button (artfully framed), the little girl is an image from the Thread Trading Card Cuties Collage Sheet (and the project includes a tiny spool that the cat button is sitting on… more info on those is farther below).
The wide photo below is a close-up of Kitty Photo Holders by Kristin Batsel. So cute!
Kristin painted 2″ wooden blocks, plus 1-1/4″ wooden wheels, each a different color. “I sanded all the edges, inked them a bit, and then covered each side with a different paper, cut a little smaller than the side of the block. One side of the blocks got kittens and a couple of tiny buttons, while the reverse side got some adorable children. After I adhered the images, I lightly sanded each one to distress the surface.”
Collage sheets used (for both blocks and as vintage photos on the stands).
FREE Gift with All Orders
A Cat Buttons Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight March 18, 2026)!

Note: the labels fit either the tiny wooden spools or Chunky Little Wooden Spools.

Five Tiny Tins: Fairies, Mary, and Alice by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel
 |
Are these not the sweetest, TINIEST tin shrines! Kristin really out-did herself with these little wonders (and such a variety of themes)!
Here’s an intro from Kristin’s blog post to get us started:
How sweet are these little 1″ by 2″ tins? I made a couple shrines with the ones I had, and then begged Leslie to send me at least 5 more. The tins come with a sliding lid, and I still plan to try a design incorporating the lid, but for now: tiny shrines. I started out making little fairy shrines. The backs of the tins are covered in scrapbook paper. Tiny wings from a collage sheet are added to create fairies, who dance on beds of moss amongst the smallest of mushrooms, made from floral stamens.
Note: there are separate supply lists for each of the tins (left to right):
– “Wonder” Fairy
– The White Rabbit
– “Shine” Male Fairy
– Mary
– “Wish” Ballerina Fairy
Here’s the full list of supplies for all the tins.
 Brass Starburst Halo Rosette Back in Stock |
 Saints and Sinners Collage Sheet |
 Antique Bronze 3D Rabbit Charm Back in Stock |
More New Supplies
Psst! That Tall Silver Teapot Charm or Pendant at right fits inside one of the Mini Sliding Tins! There’s a photo on the teapot page.
Hm… one of those Back in Stock Bronze 3D Alice in Wonderland Herald Rabbits would fit in a sliding tin, too!

Shiny New Trims! A Venetian Theatre & Carnival Masks
Filed under Caroline Ouzts-Hay, Nichola Battilana, Paper Theatres Kit, Pierrot/Harlequin/Carnival
It’s almost Mardi Gras, which inspired me to source some bright & shiny trims. And to revisit a Venetian Theatre and some beautiful Carnival Masks (and I also created a sale collection from the supplies from both — and all of today’s new or back-in-stock supplies)!
25% off the Mardi Gras collection, through WEDNESDAY night, February 18th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
A few of new treats are directly below and at right, plus more related to each art project are farther below (plus a bonus FREE gift kit, and all the Carnival Collage Sheets are on sale)!
A Venetian Theatre by Nichola Battilana
Isn’t Nichola’s Venetian Theatre lovely?
Her ode to Venice starts with a back in stock Small Paper Theatre Box then uses images from the Ships and Waves Backdrops and The Canals Collage Sheets (and I love all the depth with multiple layers of curtains and waves).
Of course you know I LOVE the Arlecchina jumping jack on either side of the theatre from the Pierrette Collage Sheet! I also love how Nichola rearranged bits of the Toy Paper Theatres Collage Sheet (plus some pleated paper and Dresden) to make her fancy header.
More info and photos are in Nichola’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies. Note: this project was made quite awhile ago, so use the links here to see the supplies.
Carnival Collage Sheets on SALE!
18 sheets are on sale, including 2 from Nichola’s project (there’s actually 4 shown at that link, as 2 are from other categories — but still on sale as they’re in her supplies).
A Parade of Masks by Caroline Ouzts-Hay
On to more artwork! Design Team Member Caroline Ouzts-Hay has created a trio of masks with the back in stock large mask sets. (Just showing 2 of her 3 creations here, but check out Caroline’s blog for lots more photos and details.)
My artwork suffers from a mild case of multiple personality disorder, so I’ve made not one mask but three.
I went to town with the liquid pearls on this one. So scrumptious! To get a more even colored look I painted the chipboard diamonds & feathers before applying the liquid pearl in coordinating colors. so the chipboard brown wouldn’t show through.
(On the pink and black mask) the silver bit at the top is a decorative metal piece that I coated in silver gilding flakes.
I love the crushed pale mulberry paper roses, pearl fringe, and Caroline’s use of more of the chipboard feathers.
Here’s a link to Caroline’s Supply List (for all 3 masks).
FREE Gift with All Orders
A Mardi Gras Tiny Mask Set Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight February 18, 2026)!

Pink Paper Theatres; New Heart Milagros & Dresden Trims
Filed under Paper Dolls/Theatres, Pink Valentine Theatre Kit, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Teri Calia, Valentine's Day
It’s almost Valentine’s Day… a few year’s ago (when the Punch & Judy Theatre was announced) the Design Team went wild with that chipboard theatre and a (now sold out) Pink Paper Theatre Kit. Most of the kit items are still available — and the artwork is so fun and colorful, it’s time to revisit TWO of those projects (and I also created a sale collection from the supplies from both — and all of today’s new or back-in-stock supplies)!
Pussy Cat Theatre
Oh my… Teri Calia has merged her love of cats (hm… obsession?) with the chipboard theatre to make this Pussy Cat Theatre!
In addition to the overall cuteness (and putting cat heads on the figures on either side of the stage!), I’d like to point out the lights: See the bottom right of the large photos below for how Teri hid Fairy Lights in the recessed area behind the facade.
Another clever idea: see the photos at right for how Teri used dowels as stands for the characters.
More info and photos in Teri’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies. Note: lots of Dresden trims in Teri’s project are are back-in-stock today (including the gold wings at the top center of her theatre — Teri curled the wings a bit to give them more dimension).
25% off the Pink Paper Theatres collection, through WEDNESDAY night, February 11th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required! Read on for more info and photos!
New or Back-in Stock Dresden
New Supplies (Mainly Hearts)
Aw… I love those tiny heart charms (with a milagro feeling). And the Resin Heart Candy Boxes are cute for Valentine’s Day or an Easter project.
Note that the Gold Rhinestone Chain at right is a close match to the trim across the bottom of the stage in Teri’s project (kinda like footlights).
There’s more colors/sizes of Rhinestone Chain included in the sale (more info is below in the “bonus” section)!
Behind Closed Doors by Rhonda Secrist
Behind Closed Doors is a miniature French ballet theatre that Rhonda made using the Punch & Judy Theatre, and some extras (like back in stock chipboard doors and hinges, and a vintage street scene at the back of her stage).
 |
See how Rhonda’s characters are moveable? (Standing in front of the theatre at far left, and inside the stage at top right.) Rhonda shows how to mount the collage sheet images (those are from the Theatre Mecanique Collage Sheet) on heavy scrapbook paper and make stands for them (that also blend into the patterned paper on the stage floor).
More info and photos in Rhonda’s blog post, and here’s a link to see all her supplies, including these back-in-stock Dresden trims.
FREE Gift with All Orders
