Christmas Morning Buffet by Connie Littell

Yummy! Connie made this adorable Christmas Morning Buffet using a mix of new and existing supplies (and, of course, painted and/or decorated most everything — and made some sweets of her own, too).

The foundation for this sweet feast is the new Walnut Finish Dining Table which is topped with a new 1:12 Table Runner in white. There’s also a red option if that suits your project better.

Since I wanted to include more than would fit on the main dining table, I opted to include a side table as well. I used an Unfinished Pie Crust Table that was painted a light ivory color and inset with a holiday image cut from a sheet of Christmas scrapbook paper.

On top of this smaller table I set a candy dish made by painting a cast metal Xmas Tree Candy Dish red after giving it a good scrub in soapy water. Inside the dish are some of the Christmas Peppermints Polymer Clay Slice Mix which remind me of those Starlight Mints my grandma used to always have on hand. There are also some of the new Mixed Color Acrylic Pearls – 3mm that remind me of cinnamon red hot fireballs. Yum!

More photos (and how-to photos) are on Connie’s blog post. And/or see her Supply List for everything used (and remember it’s all on sale!)

 Soooo many new goodies today… I’ve picked out a few highlights from those that are both new and in Connie’s supplies:

New Thanksgiving Dessert Table artwork! New & on Sale Baking Minis!

Filed under Connie Littell, Miniature Baking, Miniatures, Tutorials

Hmmm. This is going to play havoc with your sweet tooth…

I love this new Candy Corn Harvest Table by Design Team Member Connie Littell! (Now if some full-scale versions could magically appear for my Thanksgiving.)

Connie made lots of these sweets: cakes and turkey cookies (!) and a pumpkin pie (with tutorial pics for that one).

The decorations on the cakes using the new Autumn Cake Decorations Mix look fantastic (see the closeup in the wide photo below). She also mixed in some of the orange balls from the 2mm Halloween Mix Tiny Faux Candy.

Everything mentioned is in the new sale (including the discount applying to a few related clearance items noted down in the sale section). Note: you’ll see the 25% off discount in your cart automatically.

More photos and a tutorial on making that pumpkin pie are in Connie’s blog post.

More New Supplies: Sweets!

Starting with those teeny Tiny Candy Corn at right (also on the cookie sheet in Connie’s artwork). They’re the same size as the decorations on the 2 cupcakes above.

The 3 items in the row below are perfect for a fall scene (and perfect for the color palette in Connie’s scene). Those Tiny Pumpkins are so small they could be decor on a cake, too.

Note: if you scroll down to the sale recap section, I’ve added even more clearance sweets to the sale!

 
More New Supplies: Kitchen Miniatures!

Eek! Lots of things here (kind of a catch-up as I haven’t featured kitchen minis lately). Those new orange doilies are on Connie’s table (and the black doilies are back-in-stock today, too).

NEW: Dessert Table SALE

Bonus! I’ve picked out some Cakes & Cookies Clearance Supplies to add to the sale! Note the automatic discount applies to the clearance prices! First is the Round Cream Cake with Cherries shown at right. Six more shown below (and all the colors look so good with Connie’s project)!

Next the Christmas Clearance Supplies I’ve picked out to add to the sale! (Related to the new gift boxes and general Santa-ness.) Note the automatic discount applies to the clearance prices!

Miniature Lighting

Both of these LED lights are 3 volt (which means that back-in-stock 3v Coin Battery Holder Terminal Block is a perfect match).

NEW Glass Vials & Mini Cigar Box Art

Filed under Collage Sheets, Kristin Batsel, Matchbox Cabinet Kit, Nichola Battilana, Shrines

A big group of new glass bottles with corks! Each is at a good price, too.

Both of the featured artworks today are made using mini cigar boxes AND bottles… and these 5 new ones are a good match for the sizes/shapes in the first project below.

All these bottles (plus more new items below AND the supply lists from both art projects) are in today’s sale!

Psst… there are TWO sale groups… more info below!

Fairy Apothecary by Nichola Battilana

Oooo! Not only a fabulous (and fabulously busy) little shadowbox (note: that clever Nichola left the lid off the cigar box, stood it on end and used it as a shadowbox), and a collage sheet, made by Nichola, with all the sweet labels for the bottles, but… Nichola also made a video tutorial! She explains “recreating the look of authentic old glass. It’s not over the top grungy… but it absolutely replicates the appearance fairly accurately.”

Here’s Nichola’s supply list with even more bottles (part of today’s sale).

Note the Small Metal Box Feet – Tree Bark below: back in stock and the perfect tiny size to fit that cigar box that’s only 1″ deep!
 

Lucky Stars by Kristin Batsel

Kristin made this charming Lucky Stars project with a chipboard Matchbox Cabinet (and bunches of stars)!

Did you ever wish upon a star, or thank your lucky stars? Well, then you’re going to want to meet this little pixie, who sits up near the moon and collects those stars, making them available to those of us who need them.

I love everything about this star-filled little shadowbox, from the teeny 3mm Gold Stars & Flat-Back Gold Star Studs at the top to the Bronze Pentagram Charm hanging from the bottom!

There are even stars in the “Twinkle Twinkle” box from the Mini Cigar Box Set (bottom shelf of the shrine plus see the photo below).


Here’s a link to Kristin’s supply list, and stop by her blog to read more about this pixie and see more photos (and some tips about using sticky foam to pull the back wall of the top floor of the cabinet forward).
 

More New Supplies

Nice! More stars, more pentagram charms, another cigar box…. and 2 more collage sheets from Nichola! Plus see those adorable needle-felted bees she made with the wings in the This & That Mixed Wings! Check that collage sheet page (or the related “all-bee-wings” sheet) for more info.

Pediment Tombs + Spiderweb Gate; Wrought Iron Inserts; FREE Gift!

Filed under Altered Tins, Halloween, Shannon Cooper

Wow! The Charnel House by Design Team Member Shannon Cooper is a spooky Halloween book made from all THREE chipboard tombs that are back in stock today (and a lot of other goodies).

Note that the double doors at the bottom of the photo at right can open (preview at left). I love the giant bat with hands (?!) above the gothic arch (and the columns on either side with skulls on top).

I also love all the texture on these pages. Shannon built up layers of scrapbook paper, collage sheet images, die-cut chipboard pieces, charms, watercolor pencils, stamps, Dresden trim, markers, paint, and ink. Whew!

The Spiderweb Gate is back today, too. See directly below for how Shannon “hinged” it open with the archway from the Gothic Arch Tomb behind it (with a big scary Nosferatu image peeking through)!

Here’s a link to Shannon’s original blog post (with lots more photos and tips: like making the spine by accordion folding heavy black cardstock to accommodate the thickness of the pages). Note: we moved sites since her post so use my link for her supplies… and don’t forget all of them are included in the sale!

A FREE Gift with All Orders

I’ve picked out this new gift set inspired by that close-up from Shannon’s The Charnel House at right!

Two items are in the gift kit:
Chipboard Corner Spider Web (normally sold in a set but just one in this giftie)
– One of the Mini Black Spiders (added to the sale, too).

The Chip Web & Spider Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight October 8, 2025)!
 

New Altoids Tin Inserts

The Quatrefoil Border Altoids Insert (at right) and the Wrought Iron Gate Altoids Insert are both new and would be fun to turn into a Halloween altered tin.

Both are custom cut to fit inside an Altoid’s tin (well.. the blank ones we carry; an actual Altoid’s tin is a hair wider than our blank ones).
 

NEW: The Charnel House SALE

One more back-in-stock item (also in Shannon’s artwork) is shown at right: Round Roman Pediment Tomb (yes, that’s the one in the “undertaking” page above with the free gift info).

By the way, in that close-up above: the creepy teeth around the top of the curve are from Poe Story Elements Collage Sheet.

Over 30 items are on sale, including:
all the new or back-in-stock items,
– the items in the Gift Kit,
all of the supplies from Shannon’s The Charnel House (a few of the MANY collage sheets are highlighted below)
