Pretty Bird Bakery by Connie Littell

What a fantastic bakery scene! So many yummy breads and pastries in the Pretty Bird Bakery (and displayed in a variety of new and old pieces: a couple not mentioned in the text below are the new 1:12 Kitchen Cabinet (with the doors left off) and the Shop Counter as a check-out station).

Here’s a bit of the text from Connie’s blog post to get us started:

I love it when I get the opportunity to play with new products from Alpha Stamps and today’s project used quite a few. The new 10×8 Counter Room Box has a built in shelf across the rear wall that I turned into a bakery. I decided to go with a modern layout and decorated it using brick, wood and tile papers with craft sticks painted black for the trim.

This Counter Room Box comes with a 2.5 inch deep built-in shelf across the rear wall making it a terrific setting for all types of settings, particularly retail space.

I used two of the Arch Top Facade Bookcase – Short for storage on each side of another new piece — the Bread Rack. This display rack is the same width as the Arch Top Facade Bookcase so you could easily use 3 bookcases across the counter if you have no use for a bread display in your project.

The Bread Rack is like a bookcase with angled shelves as you can see here. What I love about this piece is it could be used in a setting like a farmer’s market or corner store as a standalone shelf to display all kinds of things.

A bakery display shelf obviously needs loaves of bread! All of the molds I used for this bakery project came from Alpha Stamps. A few of them are older ones I had on hand and a bunch are brand new, like the Mixed Bread & Croissant Silicone Mold. I started by filling every cavity of the mold with paper clay and let it dry. Once unmolded, I was able to select the ones I wanted to use and then made multiples of those.

The one set of treats I made using polymer clay instead of paper clay were the cupcakes. I made two flavors — lemon and chocolate. What’s great about these new Mini Silicone Cupcake Molds is that they can go right in the oven. The mold comes with cupcake liners and frosting. I added a layer of ‘cake’ using polymer clay textured with a toothbrush. They are displayed on Mini Cookie Sheets.

Read more (and see tons more photos) on Connie’s blog post (with more details about all the bread loaves she made — and the new 3-Tier Cupcake Stand)! Here’s her supply list (all in today’s sale, too)!

New Patio Furniture, Witchy Art, FREE Gift & Mystical CS Sale!

Filed under Fairy Garden, Halloween, New Furniture, Shannon Cooper

Such cute patio furniture (and in both 1:12 and 1:24 scales)! It’s July in 2 days (?!) and seems the time for hiding inside with the AC and dreaming up a cool miniature patio project.

First, about these new things: I started with an idea for a new Patio Chair to fit the Wrought Iron Patio Table (at right, under some of the tiny new half scale items). Which led to a wider bench. Then the chair and bench in half scale size… and winding my way back to a (simpler) patio table for the tiny chair!

Second: that larger patio table got me thinking about an adorable Halloween-themed project by Shannon Cooper, with a Chaise Lounge (with a step-by-step tutorial explaining how she upholstered it).

ALL of these new items PLUS all of the supplies from Shannon’s artwork are included in today’s sale (plus some extras I added — AND note the sale on ALL Mystical Collage Sheets, too)! More info below.

A Witchy Little Chaise by Shannon Cooper


How cute it that?! When I suggested the 1:12 scale Chaise Lounge to Shannon, she knew immediately how she wanted to decorate it. I, on the other hand, did not immediately think “Halloween”… sure glad I have the best Design Team in the world!

From Shannon’s blog post:

The miniature Wrought Iron Table looked nice along side the chaise, especially after it was given a furry edged table cover. The accessories like the vase of roses, a pewter candlestick, a set of keys, and a few other things helped, too.

The chaise is a cinch to assemble and decorate as it comes, but it is equally simple to upholster it, making it soft and squishy like a chaise should be.

The first thing you do is trace around the seat, back, and side pieces onto lightweight cardboard. I did this twice for two reasons. 1. In case I screwed up. 2. I wasn’t sure if I also wanted to lightly upholster additional pieces to add on the outside of the chaise, covering the entire thing in fabric. Can never be too prepared.

Read more of Shannon’s step-by-step tutorial (and to see lots more photos).

And here’s a link to Shannon’s supply list (part of today’s sale, too).

 
FREE Gift with All Orders

A custom B&W Halloween Slice Mix is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight July 2, 2025)!

I was inspired by all tiny fabric prints in Shannon’s project. Plus some of these in a little bowl would look perfect on the top of that table.

This is a mix of old stock (no longer for sale) and some current things in the same color palette:
– Coffin Lid Polymer Clay Slices
Black & White Swirl Candy Polymer Clay Slices
Spider Webs Polymer Clay Slices
– Skulls from the Black & Orange Halloween Polymer Clay Slice Mix
– Black Ouija Board Planchette Polymer Clay Slices

The linked slices above are also included in the sale (in case you’d like to order more)!
 

Patio Furniture SALE

One more thing: I’ve added the Night Creatures Halloween Polymer Clay Slice Mix at right to the sale, too!

TWO collections are on sale; the first includes:
– all the new Patio Furniture,
– the supplies from Shannon’s A Witchy Little Chaise artwork (includes the 1:12 scale Patio Table!), and
– the polymer clay slice mixes in the free gift (and the set at right).

And a new Mystical Collage Sheets collection (inspired by the tarot cards in Shannon’s artwork; some highlights from that group are shown below)! A grand total of 80 items on sale!

There’s a new AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT for an extra 25% off the listed prices! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!

The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, July 2nd at midnight PST.

See the artwork supplies sale collection here! (It also includes the new items.)

And don’t forget the separate Mystical Collage Sheets collection!

New plant stands & fancy trims; Flower Shop & planters; 25% off SALE!

Filed under Laura Carson, Miniatures, New Furniture, Streets of Paris

Two new plant stands! These are based on a fancier version (in 1:12 scale) that we used to carry (these new designs are much less expensive). Laura Carson used the fancy version in her Victorian Conservatory (see the close-up at left).

The 1 Inch Tall Wooden Flower Pots (the larger pots in that sample) are back in stock (and shown along with the Set of Miscellaneous Flower Pots and Tiny Wooden Flower Pots in the photo at right).

Both sizes of the plant stands are an oval shape (wider than they are deep), which gives extra room for potted plants on the sides, but still shallow enough for a room box. The 1:12 version of the 3-Tier Plant Stand is 5″ tall x 4″ wide (but only 2″ deep).

Eek! How cute is that half-scale version! See the photo below with a bunch of tiny planters and a watering can (in the new sale, too)!
 

 
New Tudor Rose Trims

Inspired by another project by Laura with a garden scene…

Laura Carson’s L’Amour des Fleurs is so beautiful! There’s an outside vs inside comparison at right. The flower shop is in the center of the bottom floor of Laura’s Streets of Paris shops (the chocolate shop can’t be seen in the photos, but it’s just to the right of the flower shop). The Chocolate Shop post was fifth in a series about the shops… you might want to start at the beginning.

Laura used the (back-in-stock) Mini Tudor Rose Singles above the doorway (far right, showing the inside of the shop — above the Folding Screen Fretwork Insert as a wrought iron door). I kinda ran with that Tudor Rose motif and designed a new border and a new altoids tin insert (shown below). Plus that insert would work well as a stencil (and there are some tips about making it into a stencil on the insert page).

You can read more about the L’Amour des Fleurs project and see more photos on the original post and on Laura’s site. (Note: as Laura covered making the buildings for this project in an earlier post, those items are in a separate blog post.) Plus here’s Laura’s supply list for “just” the flower shop (also included in today’s sale — more info below)!
 

 
More New Gardening Supplies

Ooh… another tin insert (lattice, at left) — good as a garden trellis, too.

Beside the close-up at right, there’s another photo of Laura’s artwork below (down in the sale section): the back-in-stock Glass Microscope Slides make perfect little shelves (with bent Symmetrical Bronze Flourishes as brackets).

More about the photo at right: the cash register was painted black, and is sitting on a plant table (also painted).

And the new vase and watering can… perfect for this miniature project (there’s even a white vase inside Laura’s shop… above the cash register though outside the crop in this photo).
 

 
L’Amour des Fleurs
SALE

I love the painted thimbles as flower pots! Just look at those shelves full of them!

Over 50 items are on sale, including:
all the new & back-in-stock items,
– all the Tiny Planters shown in the Half Scale Plant Stand above, and
– all the supplies from Laura’s L’Amour des Fleurs artwork!

Bonus: I’ve added bunches of paper roses in the same pretty shades as in Laura’s Flower Shop. A couple examples are shown below. PLUS a few more items similar to Laura’s supplies:
Blue Ceramic Square Planter and Base
Mini Plastic Greenery Set
Micro Wheelbarrow
Green Turf Grass

There’s a new AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT for an extra 25% off the listed prices! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!

The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, June 25th at midnight PST.

Moroccan-themed art, new related tin inserts & 25% off SALE!

Filed under Altered Tins, Bella Ayers, Moroccan Doorways Kit

I was inspired by the artwork and the related back-in-stock supplies… so there are THREE new tin inserts with a similar theme! Read on for more info…

I love all the color and textures in Kimberly Ayers’ Moroccan Nights project! That photo at right shows the inside when the piece is open (and note the depth from the niche on the right side, behind the Moonshine Frame). There’s also a niche behind the scene on the front cover!

Per the work-in-progress photos below, you can see how she hinged the main house pieces. For the front cover she built her own frame using one of the back-in-stock Onion Dome Frame Toppers on top. (See how the niches are offset in the side-view photo? The niche on the front cover is lower than the niche on the inside.)

Note: the first row of supply photos below show all 3 back-in-stock supplies in the artwork (including those Onion Dome Frame Toppers).

You can read more about the project and see more photos on her blog post. Plus here’s Kimberly’s supply list (also included in today’s sale — more info below)!
 

 
More Back-In-Stock Supplies

Not exactly Moroccan themed, but some popular items are back!

How sweet those pears are in the festive garland at right!

The Mini Silverware – Set of 12 shown at left is taller and fancier than the silverware in the Miniature Silverware – Set of 20. The knife is approx. 1″ tall. (A bit large for 1:12 scale… unless that’s a knife for cutting a cake?)
 

Moroccan Panels SALE

Over 20 items are on sale, including:
all the new & back-in-stock items, and
– all the supplies from Kimberly’s Moroccan Nights artwork!

Bonus: I’ve added 4 more items to the sale! At right and the first row below (that orange ribbon is a close match to the seam binding tied around the artwork… plus, Halloween is coming).

There’s a new AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT for an extra 25% off the listed prices! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!

The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, June 18th at midnight PST.

New Artwork with Chocolates, Caviar & Champagne & 25% off SALE!

Filed under Connie Littell, Miniatures

I love this petite scene! So many yummy items on the top of a patio table.

Here’s a bit of the text from Connie Littell’s blog post to get us started:

This project all started with the new Tiny Black Caviar microbeads. I love caviar and they look exactly like delicious sturgeon eggs to me. Once I made that connection, the project fell right into place. Caviar is a special treat that I associate with a special occasion, the perfect date night.

I started with making all the accompaniments in miniature. To make little white scalloped ceramic dishes to hold the traditional condiments I used the new 10mm Silver Fluted Bead Caps and gave them a few coats of white nail polish. (Clever!)

Read more (and see tons more photos) on Connie’s blog post (including making those tiny chocolates and how she put together that scalloped candy box)! Here’s her supply list (all in today’s sale, too)!
 

 
More New Supplies

Maybe you’d like to make a mini scene with a different color metal tray?

Or a heart-shaped candy box (2 options)!

And 2 colors of 10mm bead caps are back (simpler design than the fluted ones above) — remember the brass ones Laura used on that chandelier at right?
 

 
Date Night SALE

Aw… there’s another photo from Connie, with some of the crackers & lemon slices.

Over 20 items are on sale, including:
all the new & back-in-stock items, and
– all the supplies from Connie’s Date Night artwork!

There’s a new AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT for an extra 25% off the listed prices! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!

The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, June 11th at midnight PST.

New Ouija Board & Pumpkin Tureen, Tunnel Book Art & 25% off SALE!

Filed under Edgar Allan Poe, Halloween, Kristin Batsel, Miniatures, Susan Killam

In honor the the new (tiny!) 2×2 Arch Tunnel Book I’ve brought back the 6×6 size (at right).

Design Team examples are below (of making a classic tunnel book and of binding the pages as a shaped book). Plus some adorable new 1:12 scale props with a Halloween theme!


Edgar Allan Poe Tunnel Shadow Box
by Susan Killam

I sooo love this little Poe shadowbox! Susan used small stacks of chipboard to provide depth between the layers of the 4×4 Arch Tunnel Book (there’s step-by-step photos on her blog post… and see the wider photo below for a work-in-progress that shows the depth).

Some text from Susan’s blog post:

My 4×4 Arch Tunnel Book is a little dark with an Edgar Allan Poe theme. Hey, I’m a Baltimore girl and I can’t pass up a Poe project opportunity!

To begin, I chose the center element first. The photo below shows how I rigged it up so I could see the chipboard layers and plan the elements. (Note to self: put wee lights in the next tunnel book.)

There are so many great motifs throughout Poe’s writing. Here I’ve included a raven, heart, cask, skull, and, of course, Lenore, all from Alpha Stamps collage sheets. There’s also a pendulum, eyes, premature burial, and doubles. Oh… if only I’d used the 6×6 Arch Tunnel Book!

Hey, I’m ready to encourage Susan to make another tunnel book!

Read more and see more photos in Susan’s blog post; plus here’s her full supply list — all included in today’s sale!

 
New 2×2 Arch Tunnel Book

Eek! So cute! Like the larger versions of this book, this 2″ x 2″ size includes a solid back cover plus extra pages with arch window cut-outs in descending size.

3 pages with windows (plus the back) = 4 pages total.

Also shown in the photos above with 3 of 5 collage sheet options that fit the TINY size of this book (photos of all 5 are on the book page). I picked a range of themes from birds to Halloween and Christmas. I know you’d pick out more images and tiny trims for the top 3 pages.

Note I just used strips of corregated cardboard to give a bit of depth between each book page (both in photo at right and with the collage sheet images below).

AND I included all 5 of the collage sheet options in the sale!


 

 
New Halloween Miniatures!

Oh my… a bit early for the season (really? I see what you guys have been ordering!) but these just arrived and are so cute I had to show them now!
 

 
A FREE Gift with All Orders

Planchette Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight June 4, 2025)!

This little set includes one each of:
Black Goodbye Moon Planchette Pendant
Antique Silver Double-Sided Bat Charms
Large Verdigris Skull and Crossbones Charm
45mm Wide Black Acrylic Bats

They’re also included in the sale (in case you’d like to order more)!
 

 
Halloween Tunnel Book by Kristin Batsel

Kristin made a traditionally-bound book using the 6×6 Arch Tunnel Book (and the Wrought Iron Window Grate, which was designed to fit in one of the book’s arches).

(Psst: Susan used the same window grate on the front of her 4×4 book above, just cropped off at the bottom.)

From Kristin’s blog post:

“When it’s closed (left side of wide photo below), you can see through all the layers to the back of the book. I added lots of fun Halloween things, from a jack o’lantern (with a curious rat) to an articulated skeleton (in front of an old window). There’s even a ferocious lion door knocker! Once I had it all assembled, it looked like it needed more color, so I added an orange bunting. It’s so easy to make: just glue little triangles to a piece of thread, and hang.”

Here’s Kristin’s supply list (yep… on sale, too… see below for more info).
 


 

 
Tunnel Books SALE

First, there’s a bonus item in the sale: Mini Halloween Prints 6×6 Paper Set (also shown at right) so you have a variety of background papers to reproduce a facsimile of either Kristin or Susan’s projects.

Over 30 items are on sale, including:
all the new & back-in-stock items,
– the Planchette Gift Kit items

New Oval Back Chair, Shutters x3, Half Scale Art & 25% off SALE!

Filed under Collage Sheets, Filigree, New Furniture, Shadowbox/Room Box, Shannon Cooper, Teri Calia

Aw… a tiny little Oval Back Chair in 1:24 Scale and matching collage sheet for faux upholstery! The baby size of the oval chair in Connie Littell’s The Beekeeper’s Workshop from a few weeks ago.

Plus there’s a new collage sheet with (more) images for the larger chairs. AND while I was playing around, a flurry of filigree options for adding some trim to the top of those 1:12 chairs (the filigree options are also on sale).

So in addition to all the new/back-in-stock items in today’s sale, I added the Oval Back Chair in 1:12 Scale, too!

 
New Shutters x3

See the cute altered tin at right? It’s the Shabby She Shed Tin by Shannon Cooper — it shows the same size shutters as the new chipboard Small Skinny Shutter Set.

Plus the half scale oval chair mentioned above would fit in this tiny altered tin. AND the Mini Oval Box or Tassel Caps at left are back in stock (on the top shelf in the artwork).

There’s a tiny snip of the (back-in-stock) Stitched Leaf Ribbon – Moss Green at the top of the facade (and I’ve these pink roses to Shannon supply list as those resin roses are sold out).

(Note there’s a new Tiny Tree with Pink Blossoms shown way below in the sale section; they’d be a perfect size to substitute for those tiny pink roses bush that Shannon made.)

Read more in the original blog post. Here’s Shannon’s supply list (all in today’s sale).


A Brocante Summer Cottage
by Teri Calia

A delightful little project for summer, built in 1/2″ scale (1:24). I am fond of this scale, as a 6″ tall room is so much easier to display on my crowded shelves than a 10″ or 12″ tall room.

Brocante is the French version of a flea market and an awesome place to find loads of sweet and unique items to furnish a summer cottage. Like most people, I don’t own a summer cottage but I really wanted to decorate one with finds from the brocante, soooo… I created a 1:24 scale cottage using the (back-in-stock) Half Scale Room Box with Slanted Roof, a Half Scale Bay Window and a Cottage Base – 9x9x1.

Oh, that Half Scale Room Box with Slanted Roof! This little half-scale room box is related to the Half Scale Arch Front Room Box, but this one is much deeper, has no apron in front, and has a hidden “attic” (perfect for hiding wiring if you’re adding lighting).

You could sit a couple (or 3) side-by-side and have a little street of storefronts. Plus that overhang on the roof would be fun to attach some hanging plants or a banner from. 5″ wide, 6″ tall including the facade (and 5″ deep).

Again, the new Oval Back Chair in 1:24 Scale would fit perfectly in this half scale room box (and I’ve added the 1:24 Round Table to the sale so there’s a suitably sized table).

Here’s a link to the original blog post. Note: we moved sites since that post so use my link for Teri’s supplies… and don’t forget all of them are included in the sale!

 
A FREE Gift with All Orders

Tiny Cake Stand with Cupcake Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight May 21, 2025)!

Inspired by the tiny cake stand in the bay window of Teri’s artwork (on the right side of the wide photo above). This little set includes one each of:
Pink Cupcake with Cherries
Tiny Cake Plate Filigree
8mm Patina Round Beads with Circle Pattern
Tiny Antique Bronze 3D Crowns

They’re also included in the sale (in case you’d like to order more)!
 

Half Scale Cottage SALE

Over 50 items are on sale, including:
all the new & back-in-stock items (more not yet highlighted are shown below),
– the gift kit items just mentioned
– those metal curved filigrees I mentioned that fit the top oval of the 1:12 chairs,

– the supplies from the A Brocante Summer Cottage artwork!
