Sale Day 2: Spring Sale, New Papers 40% off!
Filed under Back in Stock, Cat's Away... 2018, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Newsletters, Nichola Battilana, Sale
Holiday Closure & After-Christmas Sale
It’s day TWO of this week of While the Cat’s Away Sales & Giveaways!
It’s a mini avalanche of mini projects from Design Team Member Nichola Battilana! Yes, it may be after Christmas but how cute are these? (Plus I was waiting till the related paper sets were back in stock… and they are as of today, but I can’t vouch for how long).
So we have 2 lovely little Christmas projects that Nichola made:
– The Baker’s Box (made with the Christmas Vintage 12×12 Paper Pad and Christmas Vintage Patisserie Scrapbook Paper, and with a 3×5 Big Chunky Matchbox as the base; psst: there’s another photo of this beauty far below), and
– Big Fat Christmas Greeting Matchbox (made with the Christmas Vintage 12×12 Paper Pad and a Big Chunky Matchbox with Window – 3×5 — scroll down just a bit to see the photo, with a big red plaid bow on top!)
You can check both of those blog posts by Nichola (links on names of each project above — or click on the photos) for more photos and links to a few more supplies (including the silicone molds for those yummy baker’s treats, inside the box at left)!
And if that’s not enough (!) there’s also this sweet little Wee Wings Collage Sheet, also by Nichola! (When you need some tiny gossamer wings for a matchbox-sized fairy.)
So… moving on: today’s new papers! We have a group of FIVE coordinating prints (mainly cuz they share the same color palette, but I love pattern play so I’d mix & match them all freely):
– Black & Ivory Narrow Stripes Scrapbook Paper
– Black & Ivory Spring Garden Scrapbook Paper
– Black & Ivory Harlequin Diamond Scrapbook Paper
– Black & Ivory Birds and Bees Scrapbook Paper
– Black & Ivory Butterflies Scrapbook Paper
AND since the scrapbook paper sale is still going on, they are both new and on sale at 40% off!
ALL Scrapbook Paper is on sale at 40% off ! (And that includes the NEW papers, too!)
– ALL Scrapbook Paper: Single Sheets . Over 100 items!
– ALL Scrapbook Paper Sets. Over 25 items!
AND the scrapbook paper on the Clearance Site is also on sale: now 80% off!

Such sweet little vignettes! Love them!
Wow..this is so cute it is making me hungry….

Hello, everyone- hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and hats off to an awesome, Happy New Year! This has to be one of the most delightful wee boxes yet… and could well be a fantastic item to make for a Valentines’ Day gift, in my opinion.
However one wishes to use this wonderful little box, it will be an endearing, lovely item to create!
What a fun distraction – am looking to place an order with all these specials and would love to be a winner as well!
I find the black and ivory papers interesting–would experiment with leaving some as is and adding color and design to others. And you always need fairy wings! Great matchbox project Nichola!
I’m about to finish up a Halloween project (yes Halloween). Time to start Christmas!
Love the Baker’s Box ! I’m new to Alpha Stamps but bought my first kit in December . What attracted me was all the retro/nostalgic art. I enjoy simply admiring all the goodies online so you can imagine how fun it is to receive that kit in the mail!
WOW it’s still Christmas. A cake with NO calories
Awesome!
