NEW Enchanted Goods Occult Shop by Connie Littell

Filed under Beads, Collage Sheets, Connie Littell, Miniatures, New Furniture, Shadowbox/Room Box

Oooh! A new miniature stall and a cool art project, too!

This 6×6 Simple Market Stall is a nice, compact size (but look at all the details like skylights, a built-in bookcase/shelving and open sides.

See the photos for 2 counters designed for this stall (with ideas for placement like the counter shelves facing in or out).

Plus there’s a bunch more new supplies today… parts for making prayer candles and crystal balls perfect for Connie’s theme (and a new collage sheet)!

All the supplies for the artwork is on sale: 25% off the Occult Market Stall SALE collection (which includes all of today’s new items) runs through WEDNESDAY night, August 26th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!

Pixie & Pine: Enchanted Goods by Connie Littell

Wow! This is going to be a wonderful project! Connie is breaking up her stall project into 2 blog posts… this first one covers the structure and making the prayer candles and crystal balls on one shelf…


 

Here’s a bit from Connie’s blog post:
I’ve got a pretty big project I’ve been working on for a while featuring a brand new setting from Alpha Stamps. I’ve turned the new 6×6 Simple Market Stall into a shop full of enchanted wares and it’s been lots of fun figuring out how to make all the tiny magical things to include in the display. There are so many shelves and bins to fill! Here’s a Part 1 preview, the final project will follow shortly.

What I love most about this new piece is it’s modular. There are both short and long counters for the sides and front. I’ve chosen to use both a 3 Inch Tall Counter and a 5 Inch Side Counter. I already have another idea for this market stall that uses one of the 5 inch counters across the front.

Skipping down a bit to how Connie made those faux candles…

I cut soap into tiny bits and filled the jars. I used a few Tiny Glass Bottles, the new 40mm Tube Glass Bottle, a 9×17mm Glass Tube Vase and a 12x23mm Glass Tube Vase. The filled jars went into a small jelly jar I had in my stash and right into the microwave. I was concerned the soap may spill over (and it did on my first try) so the jelly jar was to collect spillage. I finally settled on checking the jars every 3 seconds at full microwave power and it worked like a charm!

Great job, Connie, and thanks for that soap tutorial! Read more in Connie’s blog post and/or see her supply list (and more new trims in her artwork are noted below).

More New Supplies!

Starting with that cute group of crystal balls at right! There are new marbles and metal bases below AND everything in that photo is included in the sale!

New Tiny Houses & Tiny Halloween Trims!

Filed under Halloween, Miniatures

Sweet! These cute little cubby houses came in this week (see the two white ones at right). And so did some miniature Halloween (and non-Halloween) trims… one thing led to another (some black spray paint was involved) and the little Halloween shrines below just happened!

Last Gasp House Ornaments + NEW Halloween!

Filed under Christmas, Halloween, Kristin Batsel, Miniatures

The House Ornaments are back for a limited time. So I’m revisiting one of my favorite Design Team projects using that house (and all the supplies for that artwork are in today’s sale)… more info below.

But first there’s some new Halloween goodies — also in the sale!

25% off the House Ornaments + NEW Halloween SALE collection through WEDNESDAY night, July 22nd. You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
 

New Supplies for Halloween!

Note that the original dark orange color of the Scary Jack-o-Lantern (shown at right with the 2 new colors) has been added to the sale, too!

See below in the “sale recap” section for a few more additions. But first… we’re inching toward fall and here’s a bunch of cute new supplies for Halloween!

Holly Jolly Christmas House by Kristin Batsel

Kristin used the House Ornament, and lots of the coordinating add-ons (like window trims, dormers, and a tiny fence) — all of those are included in today’s sale!

I love the way Kristin’s little house turned out! So cheery and inviting. Good thing she provided a tutorial, too! For things like how to apply tissue paper behind tiny windows and leaving room to glue down all your little items (like the peppermint stepping stones).

“This little house stands only about 3” tall, not counting the base. It was made from a kit, and if you read on through to the bottom of my post, I’ll talk about how it was put together. Meanwhile, here are some more photos. The tiny family who lives here sure did a good job of decorating the tallest tree! It’s easy to attach the beads; I just dipped them in some tacky glue and stuck them into the branches. Note: I substituted Mixed Color Acrylic Pearls – 3mm-8mm for the original beads as they’re the same sizes.

“You can totally fence your house in, or you can use an xacto knife to cut a little gate. I think it looks nice to have an open gate with the pathway leading to the front door.”

Learn more in Kristin’s post and don’t forget to see everything from Kristin’s Supply List.)


 

Recap: House Ornaments + NEW Halloween SALE

Remember that all the new items and Kristin’s supply list are included in the sale.

BONUS: the larger “size comparison” items shown below are also in the sale! (They’re each shown with one of today’s new items.)

New Christmas Trims on SALE plus Sugar & Spice Peppermint Tin!

Filed under Altered Tins, Beads, Christmas, Connie Littell

Time for a Christmas in July project? Seems like dreaming of snow during all these heatwaves will help keep you cool…

And a new beautiful snowy and peppermint-filled shrine is perfect eye candy!

All the supplies for the artwork is on sale: 25% off the Peppermint Tin SALE collection (which includes all of today’s new items) runs through WEDNESDAY night, July 15th! You’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
 

Sugar & Spice Peppermint Tin by Connie Littell

So sweet! Isn’t this a delightful (and colorful) little scene?! Here’s a bit from Connie’s blog post:

I chose to feature a sweet design of a little girl baking cookies from the Sweet Christmas Collage Sheet set inside an Altoid Tin. I always go back to refer to the fantastic tutorial Kristin Batsel did for decorating tins any time I need to make one. I encourage you to go take a peek! Before gluing the image in place, I roughed up the tin’s surface with sandpaper and blackened the interior corners with a Sharpie.

Once the tin was covered, it was embellished with a Double Layer Window Insert painted white. Topping that off is one of the new Snowflake Tin Toppers painted red & white and embellished with a few of the new 8mm Glass Peppermint Cabs.

The finished tin sits on a 3 Cubbies Block (and then the entire pyramid is sitting on a House Ornament Base). The decorations on the inside of the cubbies are from the Cookie Cutters Embellishments Set that I backed with silver glitter scrapbook paper.

Cute snowman assemblages were made by stacking and gluing a selection from new beads onto a round toothpick: 12mm Chunky Snowman Beads, 12mm Red and White Striped Beads and Red & White 16mm Snowflake Bead Mix.

Look at his little sweater! This top hat was made from the Mixed Size Black Flat Disc and a slice of dowel painted black. The other hat features a bead from the new Red & Green Baubles Bead Mix (also used on the tops of the trees). The combinations for making these adorable little fellas are endless!

Great job, Connie! Read more in Connie’s blog post and/or see her supply list (and more new Christmas trims in her artwork are noted below).


 

New Baubles!

Lots of Christmas-y colored trims and beads are new today. Just a portion are below… see them all here.

 
How about an Even Larger Snowflake Topper?

The new Narrow Shrine Shadowbox is the same height and depth as the Square Shrine Shadowbox but a narrower width (made to match the proportions of a Blank Altoids Tin… and for the width of the new Large Snowflake Topper).

Beside that cute topper, there’s a photo at left showing curtains from the Paper Theatre Cirque Collage Sheet. Here’s a link to a bunch of collage sheets with curtains tall enough to fit.


Recap: Peppermint Tin SALE

More highlights from Connie’s artwork are below. (Remember that all the new items and her supply list are included in the sale!)
