All Kinds of Valentines

Filed under Alice in Wonderland, Collage Sheets, Newsletters, Rubber Stamps

Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.

It seems ages since I’ve written a newsletter but I’ve been so busy I think my sense of time is off. Since the Giveaways included 2 Valentine’s Day-themed sets, the goodies here are divided into “bright and colorful” and “Paris/Chocolates” (yum).

Brighter Valentines

Gypsy Envelopes 
A bright set of envelopes (with contrasting colors on the inside). Set of 9 envelopes in 3 sizes.

Adhesive-Backed Heart or Flower Rhinestones 
4 sizes in either set.

Cloisonne Red Heart Beads 
Cloisonne is an ancient metalworking technique. Cloisonne beads are created by affixing a metal wire to the base bead to act as a color separator. A powdered colored glass enamel is then painted between the partitions and then fired to melt the glass. These heart beads are enamel and gold-plated brass and are 12mm diameter. Slightly puffy (6mm thick).

Narrow Crinkled Ribbons
Crinkly, soft nylon ribbons (1/2″ wide).


Paper Flowers
 
Delicate paper flowers (including some realistic roses and tulips) and leaves on wired stems (some of the leaves are coated with metallic silver). Approx. 30 pieces. See the link for a photo with a ruler (they are small… the length including the stem is approx. 3″).

Pink Chandelier (Olivia) Paper 
12″ x 12″ 65# cardstock.

1/2″ Red or Black Silk Ribbon 
Very soft, dyed china silk.

Brighter Red Velvet Ribbon
3/8″ nylon velvet.

Pink or Red Heart Buttons 
The white flower & stitching designs are embossed. Sold per single button.

More Valentines: Paris/Chocolate

3 New Valentine Collage Sheets
3 beautiful new sheets with warm sepia, pink and red hues. Licensed from Teri Calia.

Cupid Clear Border Stickers
New & on Sale! Beautifully designed clear border stickers with a French feel, in chocolate-box colors. And since they’re clear, they’ll practically melt into your layouts. 12″ long.

Chocolate Pearls in Tin
New & on Sale! Beautiful mixed sizes and hues of Czech glass pearls, in a tin with a glass lid.

3 Antique Copper Heart Charms w/Dots
New & on Sale! Tiny little copper (plated lead-free pewter) hearts with fine details.

Floral Fabric Scrapbook Paper
Roses in soft, faded colors. Double-sided with polka dots on the back.

Locks & Keys Shimmer Shapes
These are die cut and embossed thin metal (heavier than foil, but still flexible and lightweight). Set of 36 pieces.

Cherry Blossoms (Paper Flowers)
Beautiful and realistic. Wired stems (including the thin stems for the individual flowers). The main “branch” is cut off in the largest photo, but the entire “cutting” is almost 12″ long.

Pink Flocked Ribbon
1/2″ wide flocked grosgrain in a leafy/floral design.

3 Sets of Dresden Wings:
Gold & Bronze & Pink
Beautiful, double-sided wings. Each of the 3 sets has a different size/shape of wings.

Hurricane Glass Heart Beads in 2 Sizes
Hurricane glass is a combination of multiple glass colors that can change appearance and swirl pattern based on the conditions at the time of pressing. Each batch is unique and difficult to reproduce.

 
Miscellaneous/Yet More Valentines

Clear, Die-Cut Book Pages (3 designs)
Clear acrylic die-cut pages in hearts & butterfly wing shapes (the larger 2 are pre-punched with binding holes; the small set of 4 hearts can be punched as you wish). These pages are crystal clear; the small heart in the photo has just been tilted so you can see the shape.

Cherub Turning Birthday Postcard
Embossed and gold-foiled postcard with 2 turning wheels (to change the day of the week and the month) plus the cherub can be rotated to point at the date.

Lightweight Cherub Charms
2 colors: antiqued gold- or silver-plated plastic. Double sided.

Labor of Love Pewter Heart Charms 
Tiny antiqued pewter hearts (lead-free pewter, made in USA). Would make a nice tag on the clasp of your handmade creation, similar to the Brass Limited Edition Charms.

Crown & Bird Clear Stamp Set 
A crown with 3 points and a heart in the center, and a heart with a bird in the center. Crown measures approximately 2 1/4″x 1 1/2″ and the heart 2″x 2″.

Bubble & Triangular Bottles
Cute little bottles in 2 designs, both with a cork.

Alice Tea Party Rubber Stamp Set
This is a new, re-designed (red rubber) set based on our original clear stamp set. With more images – and – it’s more stamps for a lower price than the original set!

Small Glass Trumpet Flowers – 4 New Colors
Tiny glass beads. Some are a mix of 2 colors (a swirl) and some have Aurora Borealis (AB) coating (a half-coat metallic finish that adds a prismatic effect to the surface of the bead). 4mm x 6mm. Imported Czech glass.
