Yay! The new items announced at the recent CHA trade show are (finally!) beginning to ship! And after viewing the beautiful projects by TWO Design Team Members, you can scroll down to view 8 new items from Tim Holtz! (Plus some very pretty back in stock items… and today’s Giveaway!)

Design Team Member Laura Carson was inspired by the New Garden Gate Die-Cut Chipboard and using only half of the gate set (!) created the beautiful, layered Secret Rendezvous — or maybe not so secret at right!

As Laura explains, “I imagined two young lovers meeting in a garden unbeknownst to anyone. As I began work, I started thinking about what if they weren’t alone, maybe they were being watched. Did you notice the gentleman standing on the other side of the gate? Is he there by chance or perhaps a rival for the ladies affections, you decide.”

And if you’re wondering what are all of those bees and birds and keys and birdcages woven into the New and On Sale! Yellow Flower Garland, here’s a link to her supply list. And see more photos and instructions on Laura’s blog post.

But wait, there’s more! Design Team Member Lora Mahaffey turned that same sweet (and On Sale!) Shadow Box Shrine Kit – Bird from last week’s newsletter into two sweet-as-pie plaques!

(A close-up of the Odd Bird is at left… see larger photos and the coordinating Strange Bird in the Gallery.) Plus more info from Lora on her blog post.

From that perfect edging of Velvet Ric Rac to the use of the New and On Sale! Brilliance Pigment Ink Pad – Pearlescent Olive to recolor and antique the Double Dot Vintage Island Mist Scrapbook Paper, I love all the thought and details in these pieces! And with all the laser-cut pieces in that shrine kit (normally stacked up to create the depth for the shrine, but left as separate pieces in Lora’s plaques), you could make 4 little bird pieces.

And, of course, the focal point: the cutie from the More Cab Card Cuties Collage Sheet!
