Christmas for crafters starts soon enough, but for distributors and sample makers, it starts even earlier! This is the first of many I have been working on to be published – and is a little late as well. I blame the drying time… Anyway, enough of that, here’s Kaisercraft’s St Nicholas Collection of papers and stickers, their wooden snowflakes and laser cut tree, and House Shadow Box in a festive assemblage:
It’s a cracking set of double sided papers, some of which are designed to be backgrounds, others are vintage postcards and quotes ideal for cutting up and making into boxes, mounts and individual items for layouts. Others form great backgrounds for shadow boxes. The House itself is 30cm square with the roof on top and is pre-cut MDF which is easy to assemble. Here’s a gallery of close ups:
Other things you might need: Cosmic Shimmer Crystal PVA, Glossy Accents, Walnut Stain/Fired Brick/Peeled Paint Distress Inks to colour edges, Kaisercolor Raw Umber acrylic paint, Cosmic Shimmer Specialist Acrylic Glue, and Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitters for the tree. Oh, and lots of patience for all the cutting out!
I have been following your work for a long time. I first saw your Zentangle Patterns which I love. I have seen your work expand and grow and have enjoyed the journey along the way. When I saw the St Nicolas Collection Shadow Box, I thought that if you expanded it, it would make a magnificent Advent Calendar. Thank you for all of the beautiful art that you so kindly share with others.
This is soo beautiful. Ive always wished to make one of these, but they´re just sooo expensive overhere, so it´s always just stayed as a dream, but boy they´re really awesome and you did an amazing job on this one here. Gorgeous colors and wonderful job in every detail.
Oooh this looks lovely Neil! a lovely Christmas decoration! Would look great! Well done! Great papers too!
