Day 1 Theme & Giveaway: The Beach
Filed under Cat's Away... 2011, Giveaways, Sale, Summer/Beach
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.
)
I don’t often have time just to wander around and look at all the pretty things in stock and imagine what ribbon or trim would work well with what paper. Thankfully there is enough variety in the options that there are many happy accidents.
And, thankfully, when everyone is away for the holidays I can let my mind wander without questions or phone calls.
So here’s the theme for the first day of this week of Giveaways: The Beach.
Here’s how these themed days will work: I’ve gathered new (and current) items around a theme. All of them are on sale for everyone. And I’ve pulled together a lovely Giveaway Kit made from those goodies that will be awarded to one lucky person (click on the photo at right to see even more of the Beach Kit).
To enter the Beach Giveaway drawing all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post (don’t forget to leave your email address, too, so I can contact the winner; note, your email address does not need to be made public).
After midnight I’ll randomly pick the previous day’s winner.
More info on the Holiday Closure & Giveaway Rules (including how you can get entered twice in each day’s drawing).
Note: all the indented items below are included in the Giveaway Kit. There are some additional (related) things just(!) put on sale that are not in the Giveaway Kit (down at the bottom of this page).
New & On Sale
(and included in the Giveaway Kit)
Sea Treasures File Folder

Koi Pendant
New & on Sale! Beautiful, ornate brass stamping. Could be a dolphin (from one of those old Renaissance map engravings) but I’m going with koi.
Tiny Bubbles Scrapbook Paper
New & on Sale! Cute ’50s-ish pattern of bubbles on the front and stylized waves on the back.
Hurricane Glass Clam Shell Beads
(2 colors and both in the kit!)
New & on Sale! Pressed hurricane glass clam shell beads, imported from the Czech Republic. 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. Caramel or rust.
Tiny Brass Clam Shells
New & on Sale! Raw brass stampings, so concave on the back. No loops. Small enough to use in a bottle or small tin (to rattle around w/beads or glitter). Or float them in resin.

Antique Gold Starfish
Antiqued gold-plated plastic (so quite lightweight for the size). Double sided.

An odd item to include in a beach-themed kit? Not really: check out the pendant Design Team Member Lynn Stevens made using a similarly shaped piece of glass and an image from the Bathing Beauties #2 Collage Sheet!Approx. 1-3/4″ x 1″ hinged, double-pane house pendants. 6-7mm thick. Seal photos or images between the two pieces of clear glass to make custom memory jewelry.

Another odd item to include in a beach-themed kit? Not so! Look at the beautiful 4×4 Mermaid book page Guest Designer Wendy Anderson made using one of these coasters. For more inspiration check out the Mermaid Swap Gallery.4″ x 4″ fiberboard coasters with rounded edges. Easy to paint over or glue onto (so you don’t need to care about the silly superbowl themed graphics).

Love the beach, love the hinged house!
I was born in the City of Miami Beach. I grew up in Miami. We didn’t go to the beach a lot when I was a kid. Now that I’m an adult, and living in the midwest, all I want is to get back to the ocean. And nice things with a beach theme, make me nostalgic for my oceanside origins! This great collection does just that!
Think this would be a big treat in the middle of a New England winter! Being able to play with all the beach goodies and create summery works of art might just be the thing to beat the winter blues!
lovely how much fun
Fantastic package! What a marvelous collection of beach treasures.
I have found the most unique and interesting treasures on your site, and I would love to have even more of those to use in my designs! Alpha Stamps is a wonderful place for so many things, and I enjoy the trip through the site every time I visit. Thanks for your generosity, and I wish you and your staff the best in the coming year! Robyn

Lovely! Makes me think of the tropical beach I’d like to be on right now rather than in Minnesota. Maybe I could get carried away to a beach in Tahiti if I had these goodies to play with.
Oh how I miss the Pacific & the warm ocean breezes. Being stuck here in Ohio for some time now, this kit would transport me back to the place I love the best. Thanks for a chance to win!
These look fun, I could see making some paper dolls using this.

It is a child’s chipboard book shaped in the likeness of a Tucan bird, and when opened it looks like a whale’s tail. This beach themed giveaway would be a perfect way to finish it in the manner it deserves. Thanks for the chance to win!!!

I love all these items! Makes me think of summertime or a winter vacation at the beach! Would be great to play with and think of the warmth during the cold winter!
