Bring on the Spring Flowers & Tiny Tote Gift!

Filed under Art Projects, Featured Artwork, Flowers, Giveaways, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Sale, Shannon Cooper

Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Rhonda’s and Shannon’s projects that are still available on the new site.

Are we done with Winter yet? Did you see the crazy pictures of people sledding down the hills of San Francisco after a hailstorm on Monday?!

Well, we have 2 projects today, both bursting with color that will help you forget about the late Spring storms.

Starting with Design Team Member Rhonda Secrist Thomas’ Spring Flower Offering: I love all those Vintage Seed Catalog covers tranformed into ATCs… and in a decorated tote box to hold them all.

It sounds like Rhonda is having the same issue with lingering Winter:

It snowed here two days ago, but it’s April. What on earth? So my hopes are that this little spring beauty will act as an offering to Mother Nature, and bless my many hydrangeas with warm spring weather! I bet you could use one in your part of the world as well.

Here’s a link to see all of Rhonda’s supplies (that Market Planters Scrapbook Paper on the back of her ATC Ticket Journal is so cute!), and you can see many more photos and read more on Rhonda’s blog post.

Next up (and a new treat for you!): Design Team Member Shannon Cooper
has used the new Tiny Tote Box to make the cutest little Rainbow Flower Box!

This version is 1-1/2″ tall by 1-3/4″ wide by 1-1/2″ deep, and as Shannon notes in her blog post “From a decorative firewood box in dollhouse scale, to a place for fairies to store their berry harvest, this tote is too cute. It can be transformed into many different things!”

And a gift for all of you: ALL orders, now through Monday night, April 23rd (2018) will receive ONE of the new Tiny Tote Boxes (normally sold in sets of 2) FREE!

 
New Sale: ALL Metal Filigree is 25% off!

In honor of that pretty, new Bronze Harp Filigree, ALL of the Metal Filigree is ON SALE!

Over 60 options! Also including the Thin Ornate Filigree and Black Faux Wrought Iron Round Filigree shown at left and right.

The sale ends MONDAY night, April 23rd.

Go check it out!

 
Hooray for the Tiny Totes & Flowers Too Giveaway!

First off: EVERYTHING in Shannon’s supply list (with tons of little flowers!) is in today’s Giveaway! Note: the red roses from this group are included.

That means you’ll get a set of 2 of the new Tiny Tote Boxes too!

Next up: You’ll need those Vintage Seed Catalog Collage Sheets that Rhonda used for ATCs in her larger Tote Box. (And you’ll get that larger tote, too!)

One of those collage sheets is Flower Faces… now you haven’t see it in the photos thus far. It’s used on the flip side (the front side) of Rhonda’s ATC Ticket Journal (and yes, that ATC Ticket Journal and the Market Planters Scrapbook Paper — that I pointed out is on the back of the journal — are also in the Giveaway)!

    Well at least it is spring somewhere even if it is in Mini-land. We are waiting for the old drifts to disappear and are looking at snow this weekend so…. I am definitely in flower box mode.

Sweet giveaway! Thanks for the chance.

    I would use the little tote as a Fae nursery! Amongst the pretty flowers you can see the little fae peeking out at the big world while they wait for their wings to dry and their fairy dust for,s! Then they will be ready to leave their sweet smelling nursery and head into the big world to spread love and happiness! TFS!
