Missing Willow Farm

As Christmas creeps closer and closer I find myself holding onto Autumn, unwilling to trade candy corn for candy canes just yet. Welcome to my harvest display.

The Leafy Swirl Desk seemed the perfect setting for pumpkins and fall leaves. I painted the legs in a grassy green acrylic paint then assembled it with tacky glue. The edges of the tabletop were painted brown then a wood grain paper was glued on top.

I made a couple of the sweet treats for the display, starting with some turkey cookies. I had seen these in both cookie and cupcake form in real life and thought it would be fun to make them in miniature. The cookies are made from paper clay using the Mini Silicone Mold – Biscuits & Bread. Once dry, they were painted beige then given a baked look with brown pastel chalk. The turkey’s feathers are Candy Corn Polymer Clay Slices glued in place. I added the turkey’s features with liquid polymer clay that was baked between each color to keep the colors from running together. Coloring white liquid clay is as easy as mixing in pastel chalk dust. I made way too many of these but am happy to have extra cookies for a future project or two!

I displayed the cookies on a Mini Cookie Sheet along with a Candy Corn Cupcake, two of the new Tall Chocolate Cupcakes with Candy Corn and a handful of the new adorable Tiny Candy Corn.

The turkey cookies aren’t the only real life inspiration I got for this project while searching for seasonal treats. I found a few instances of cakes decorated with shards of dark chocolate and imitated that design feature with thin triangles of dark brown polymer clay.

A disc of brown polymer clay ‘cake’ was baked then glazed with a drizzle of tinted liquid polymer clay (love this stuff!) and baked again. Besides the chocolate shards, I used the new Autumn Cake Decorations Mix as well as the 2mm Halloween Mix Tiny Faux Candy. Super fancy!

The larger cake sits on a Mini Cake Stand. I love the light turquoise that the stand comes in but decided to go for a white version so gave it a quick white spray paint primer followed by a few coats of white acrylic paint. It’s stuck to a craft stick with double sided tape for ease of handling. It was finished with an edging of thin orange trim from the Halloween Dresden Borders Set.

I knew this display needed to include a pumpkin pie. I used one of the Mini Pie Pan Set as a template to cut a round piece of polymer clay to fit inside. The crust is a thin rope of the same clay that was crimped using a round toothpick.

It got baked right inside the pie pan then pastel chalks were used to give it a toasty look.

A bit of pumpkin orange clay was set inside the crust then textured with a ball of foil and a tootbrush.

Once that was baked I added a touch of thinned brown acrylic paint around the pie’s border and topped it with a dollop of polymer clay whipped cream.

Here’s everything set into place. The pumpkin pie joins one of the new Mini Apple Pies. Both sit on new Tiny Doilies – Orange – Set of 4. There is one of the gorgeous 18mm Tall Pumpkin Soup Tureens (how I wish I owned one of these in real life size), and a 1:12 Resin Brandy Bottle that I added a label from the Cafe Bottle Labels Half Sheet. The Even Tinier Bottle on the right is filled with Candy Corn Polymer Clay Slices.

I pulled some labels from the Tiny Labels for Crates, Jars & Cans Collage Sheet for the Small Wood Crate with Handholds. The Harvest label on the front is from the Fall Market Signage and Labels Collage Sheet. It’s filled with Mini Oranges, Mini Lemons, Mini Pears and Red Apples – 1:12 Scale. Adding to the scene are pumpkins from the Mini 3D Pumpkins – Set of 5 as well as some leaves I made from autumn colored papers and a leaf punch.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’re inspired to make a harvest display of your own! The wonderful supplies I used may be found right HERE.

I love it when I get the opportunity to play with new products from Alpha Stamps and today’s project used quite a few.  The new 10×8 Counter Room Box has a built in shelf across the rear wall that I turned into a bakery. I decided to go with a modern layout and decorated it using brick, wood and tile papers with craft sticks painted black for the trim.

This Counter Room Box comes with a 2.5 inch deep built-in shelf across the rear wall making it a terrific setting for all types of settings, particularly retail space.

I used two of the Arch Top Facade Bookcases- Short for storage on each side of another new piece – the Bread Rack. This display is the same width as the Arch Top Facade Bookcase so you could easily use 3 of them across the counter if you have no use for a bread display in your project.

The Bread Rack is like a bookcase with angled shelves as you can see here. What I love about this piece is it could be used in a setting like a farmer’s market or corner store as a standalone shelf to display all kinds of things.

A bakery display shelf obviously needs loaves of bread! All of the molds I used for this bakery project came from Alpha Stamps. A few of them are older ones I had on hand and a bunch are brand new, like the Mixed Bread & Croissant Silicone Mold. I started by filling every cavity of the mold with paper clay and let it dry. Once unmolded, I was able to select the ones I wanted to use and then made multiples of those.

All of the paper clay breads and pastries were painted a light color then ‘baked’ using different shades of brown pastel chalks simply applied using my fingers.

A few of the pastries got further surface treatments like the addition a coating of clear nail polish for a glazed look.  These large croissants were dipped in chocolate by mixing liquid polymer clay with dark brown pastel chalk dust then baked to set.

I used the Mini Silicone Mold – Many Sizes Bundt Cakes to make donuts. The sugared ones were given the baked look with paint and pastel chalk then covered in glue and dipped in superfine glitter to emulate a sugar coating.

Paper clay baguettes are displayed in a container from the Round Basket Set. C’est bon!

The one set of treats I made using polymer clay instead of paper clay were the cupcakes. I made two flavors – lemon and chocolate. What’s great about these new Mini Silicone Cupcake Molds are they can go right in the oven. The mold comes with cupcake liners and frosting. I added a layer of ‘cake’ using polymer clay textured with a toothbrush.  They are displayed on Mini Cookie Sheets.

Here’s another new piece – a 3-Tier Cupcake Stand. It assembled easily with tacky glue before painting it white. All of the colorful treats look beautiful in this display.  The majority came from the Pink Resin Sweets Mix with the addition of a Miniature Chocolate Cake, a Pink Cupcake with Cherries, a Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting & Cherry and a Crepe Cake with Strawberries.

I made a selection of pies and cheesecakes from polymer and paper clays that got displayed in a new 1:12 Kitchen Cabinet that I left the doors off of.  It got a wood grain paper exterior with black trim and flat wood button plug feet to raise it up off the floor.

A Shop Counter was decorated to match with black trim and the same Moroccan tile as the main counter front.

Here are the bakery shelves filled with goodies.  

Next to the lemon cupcakes on the left are some Square Strawberry Jam Jars. The middle shelf holds a tray of teddy bear pastries from the Mixed Bread & Croissant Silicone Mold and some jars of lemon curd made by curing yellow resin inside an Even Tinier Bottle topped with a slice of Polymer Clay Lemon Cane. The bottom shelf holds croissants sitting on Plastic Serving Trays.

Underneath all these gorgeous loaves of bread you’ll find a tray of danish next to some Japanese Melon Breads.

This shelf has cocoa containers for sale sitting next to the chocolate cupcakes. These were made by painting White Resin Cocoa Containers dark brown then adding a label from the Vintage Pantry Labels Half Sheet. The middle shelf holds some citrus pound cakes made from paper clay braided loaves coated with white liquid polymer clay and topped with slices of Lime, Lemon and Orange Polymer Clay Canes. Next to those is a set of Clear Canisters with Lids – Set of 3 that I filled with slices of polymer clay cane sweets. Below is a tray of cinnamon rolls next to some assorted donuts.

Next to the 3-Tier Cupcake Stand on the 1:12 Kitchen Cabinet sits a Cherry Cake on a new Mini Cake Stand and the basket of baguettes.

The shop counter holds a Bronze Cash Register next to a jar of frosted cookies made from the Mini Silicone Mold – Biscuits & Bread sitting inside a Large Glass Candy Jar. A meringue pie sits atop a Tiny Doily on one of the new Mini Cake Stands. There are also a couple of danish nestled inside a Mini Bakery Box with Windows ready for takeout.

This project all started with the new Tiny Black Caviar microbeads from Alpha Stamps. I love caviar and they look exactly like delicious sturgeon eggs to me. Once I made that connection, the project fell right into place. Caviar is a special treat that I associate with a special occasion, the perfect date night.

I started with making all the accompaniments in miniature. To make little white scalloped ceramic dishes to hold the traditional condiments I used the new 10mm Silver Fluted Bead Caps and gave them a few coats of white nail polish.

Creme fraiche, egg and red onion are traditionally served alongside caviar. Those were made from polymer clay. The eggs were made by rolling very thin ropes of white and yellow clay. Those got chopped into small pieces after baking. The onion was done similarly with a mixture of translucent and purple clay layered together and sliced thin.

The dish of caviar was simply made by gluing the Tiny Black Caviar microbeads in an Aluminum Bundt Cake Pan. Everything was set on a Round Ornate Metal Tray with a Tiny White Doily.

The caviar service was completed with a few slices of Polymer Clay Lemon Cane and some tiny crackers made with the Mini Silicone – Biscuits & Bread Mold and paper clay.

Looks pretty realistic to me!

What else belongs with a fancy date night? Roses! This is a set of Mini Red Rosebuds wrapped in squares of tissue paper. My first few attempts at wrapping up a nice bouquet were a big failure so I looked at some videos on youtube on how to wrap full size bouquets for inspiration and it ended up being super easy.

Caviar and flowers and of course a box of chocolates, a universal symbol of love. This was maybe the most fun tiny little thing I have made in a very long time.

The candy box is made from a Scallop-Edged Round Candy Box. Here’s how it comes before assembly.

The scalloped circles are both the same size but one of the smooth circles is slightly larger than the other in order to fashion a lid.

I glued the smooth circles onto the scalloped ones.

Once the glue was dried the long strips were secured around the inner circles with a bit of tacky glue. I just held it in place for a bit until the glue set.

To fill the box I started playing around with the new Mini Silicone Chocolate Candies Mold. I did a search for chocolate box images to help determine the shades of polymer clay I wanted to use, imitating dark, milk, white and ruby chocolates Once the mold was filled I baked it for about 10 minutes then unmolded the candies.

I also added a few of the 4mm Mini Chocolate Beads that were wrapped in Metallic Foiled Origami Paper to emulate liqueur filled chocolates.
They were assembled in the box on top of a round of pink tissue paper. I made way too many of these little chocolate treats because I just couldn’t stop myself. Tiny chocolates will absolutely be used in future projects!

The final touch was a circle of decorative paper on top along with a Soft Pink 2cm Rose. A bit of pink ribbon around the lid was the final touch.

To complete the scene I included a candle from the Black 3 Piece Candleholder Set and a Champagne Bottle with 2 Filled Glasses with a label from the Cafe Bottle Labels Half Sheet.

Everything was set in place on a Wrought Iron Patio Table painted white with iron oxide legs.

Thanks so much for your visit today. There are lots of new supplies to play with, I hope you are inspired to make something wonderful! You can find all the supplies I’ve used right HERE.

Here’s a pretty way to present a gift of small treats that doubles as décor after the candy is gone. I started this project with a House Treat Box from Alpha Stamps. They ship flat and are easy to fold, assemble and secure with a bit of tacky glue. Before folding the tabs I lightly scored the dotted score lines with a bone folder. This made bending the tabs super easy.

I selected a combination of pink and red paper from Graphic 45’s Floral Shoppe collection and cut those to size using the flattened Treat Box as a template.

The new Arched Window with Flower Box has a clever design. It ships flat and forms it’s own window box when folded.

The windows were painted white and backed with a baby pink cardstock. I also painted a small clothespin and decorated it with slices of Polymer Clay Cane – Pink Hearts. The treat box has both a tuck in flap at the bottom for opening but can also be opened from the roof to set treats inside. The clothespin is to secure the roof closed if you choose to fill it from the top.

I tucked some of the Variegated Green Vines into the window boxes and made some flowers by coating head pins in glue then dipping them into Pink & White Flowerbed Mix. A super simple and pretty way to make floral clusters.

The floral clusters got tucked into the window boxes along with white Tiny Paper Roses.

Once the box was assembled using tacky glue I secured the windows in place and added a door from the Mini House Doors & Windows set and some pink 3mm fused Pearl Strands along the roofline.

The roof was prettied up with the addition of a selection of flowers, including Tiny Paper Roses – Soft Pink, Soft Pink 2cm Roses and the absolutely gorgeous Variegated Mixed Pink Roses. They were all glued in place with the addition of some leaves from the Green Leaves Collage Sheet.

Tuck in some chocolates and you have a gift anyone would appreciate.

I adore bees, they are some of nature’s most indispensable creatures. At one time, my husband and I had the privilege of being beekeepers and got to observe their social interactions up close. We fed them through the winter and they provided us with delicious honey in the summer. I sold our honey products at the local farmer’s market every Friday morning. We carried homemade soap, beeswax candles and assorted containers of sourwood honey from our homestead. Our kitchen was the setting for all the sticky messy bee-related activities. Years of daydreaming about having a separate space just for that purpose was the inspiration for this miniature workshop using some amazing supplies from Alpha Stamps.

The setting for the workshop is a 7×9 Corner Room Box with Window. Since there was a lot of furniture I wanted to include in the workshop I knew the large window opening was going to be an issue. No worries, I just papered right over it.

The paper I used for the walls is from Echo Park’s Bee Happy paper pad. I chose a honeycomb pattern for the bottom and a bold stripe for the top. The chair rail is a wooden craft stick painted white. The white hardwood floor paper is from Craft Consortium.

The wall art comes from the new Honey & Bees collage sheet and also the Honey and Beeswax and Birds and Bees collage sheets. The images are all set inside of Mini Frames painted black.

The Tile Top Table was assembled using a bit of tacky glue before painting it brown and adding brads for the door pulls and 11mm glass mosaic tiles to the top in a checkerboard pattern.

Additionally, I included a Workshop Table 1:12 painted dark brown and a new Oval Back Chair-1:12 Scale decorated with images from the Honey & Bees collage sheet.

The final piece of furniture used was an Oak Hutch – 2 Drawers that was decorated with paper from the Happy Bee pad and a few garden themed brads glued to the side.

Those decorative plates on the top shelf are images from the Bees collage sheet I reduced in size and glued to a White Fluted Edge Plate. Once dry, I added a coat of clear nail polish for some shine.

With all of the furniture in place the decorating fun begins. One of the products I made for our farmer’s market was beeswax candles. To make miniature ones, I used the new Mini Succulents Silicone Mold along with beeswax colored polymer clay. They were unmolded before baking and I used a straight pin to poke holes for the wicks to be added after baking. The wicks are made from cotton twine stiffened with craft glue.

The finished candles are displayed in a Tiny Tray with Handles painted white and fitted with a scrap of paper from the Bee Happy collection.

I made another tray with tile images from the Honey & Bees collage sheet. To make them glossy I added a layer of UV resin that was cured on top of the tile images before cutting them out. They were glued on top of ½ Inch Chipboard Tiles. Since the tiles leave just a bit of space inside the tray when set in place I opted to paint a couple of round toothpicks white then cut to size and used them as spacers.

The finished trays.

I made a few jar candles with the beeswax colored polymer clay. I used an Even Tinier Bottle and packed the clay inside with the help of a metal ball tool then added a stiffened twine wick. The jar lids are made from googly eyes that I cut apart.

The finished jars were decorated with bees from the Tiny Bees & Bugs Die-Cuts Mix.

An assortment of honey based soaps were made in miniature with polymer clay and the new Mini Bees Silicone Mold as well as the Mini Succulents Silicone Mold for some rosette shaped ones. They are displayed on a Plastic Serving Tray. Sweet!

A Mini Succulent planter is decorated with a Tiny 3D Resin Honey Bee.

Honey Bee Jar Washi Tape is used to embellish a couple of the 6 or 12 Tiny Glass Bottles. A very simple decorative touch.

The one honey related item that we made but didn’t sell was mead. I had a bunch of miniature Corona beer bottles that I was gifted a few years ago. They are a larger scale than I am used to working with so they’ve sat in my stash for a while, they’re more wine bottle sized than beer. I was pleasantly surprised that I could get the labels off and add my own from the Little Household Goods collage sheet. I also added a round bee label for the bottle’s neck from the Tiny White Bee Stickers sheet.

They fit perfectly inside a Chunky Crate. The label came from the Tiny Labels for Crates, Jars & Cans collage sheet.

Here are the honey jars I used in this project; Mini Clear Resin Honey Jars, Mini Cloudy Resin Honey Jars and Tall Mini Honey Jars.

Jar labels for the smaller jars come from the Tiny Black Bee Stickers sheet. They are packaged inside a Chunky Crate with a label from the Honey & Bees collage sheet.

Along with honey jars we sold honey bears. These were made from Resin Honey Yellow Gummy Bears. 6mm Bronze Double Spacer Beads and round toothpicks painted red.

Just glue the toothpick ends into the spacer beads and on top of the gummy bears. Perfection!

A couple of textbooks were made from Mini Books with Blank Covers and images from both the Honey & Bees and Cabinet of Curiosities collage sheets.

The Workshop Table is a busy place with bottles of mead in the process of being labeled.

A Micro Mini Teddy Bear sits on the shelf along side the honey bears. The candy dish is an Aluminum Bundt Cake Pan holding bits from the Honeycomb Polymer Clay Slice Mix. It sits next to a Red Metal Hexagon Box containing labels.

Jars of honey are also in the process of being labeled.

Here’s the assembled Oak Hutch. A Tiny Teddy Bear with Bow sits next to the tray of honey soaps on the bottom shelf.

A Mini Glass Dome – Bronze – 30mm Tall holds an HO scale beekeeper my husband got me for Christmas a few years back. I’ve been saving it for a special project. The bee skep image sits inside a 1:12 Brass Picture Frame.

The final touch is the addition of rugs printed on velour paper from the Honey & Bees collage sheet.

Thanks so much for your visit today. There are so many new bee themed supplies to play with, I hope you are inspired to make something wonderful! You can find all the amazing Alpha Stamps supplies I’ve used right HERE

When I first saw the Altoids Tin Wheels they loudly screamed CIRCUS WAGON to me! I’ve done a few circusy things in the past, mostly sideshow related and this time I decided to create a scene straight out of the big top tent’s center stage.

To get started on altering an Altoid tin I remove the lid and set it aside for another project. Before decorating I always sand the tin’s surfaces both inside and out. Kristin Batsel has a fabulous tutorial on how to decorate an Altoid tin so if you need a refresher on the basics it can be found right HERE. I used a Paper Studio Great Circus pack for the interior and a muted dark turquoise paper for the exterior.

I decided to orient the tin horizontally and needed a stage inside so used an Altoids Tin Shelf Insert 3 5/8 Inches Wide. Alpha stamps also carries a 2 1/4 Inch Wide version if you are ever inspired to craft something inside a tin that’s oriented vertically.

Mini Baby Elephants are center stage. They need a podium to stand on and I had a few options that all would have fit inside the tin and worked nicely. I decided on some round vintage game tokens I had in my stash and painted them ivory, red and turquoise.

The components of the Altoids Tin Wheels were painted before assembling them with tacky glue.

These elephants are very talented, they balance Mixed Color Acrylic Pearls on their trunk in unison.

As you can see, I also scattered a few additional Acrylic Pearls around the floor of the tent. The front of the stage is covered in Red Suede Paper. The Ringmaster is a Preiser HO scale figure from their Local Fun Faire Visitors/Showmen collection. Don’t you love how he’s been trained to raise his arms when the elephants lift their trunks?!

Atop the tin sits a red star bead glued onto a Round Bronze Filigree Bead Cap topped by one of the Brass Patina Bead Caps.

Final touches to the wagon include a Wide Brass Filigree Header at the base of the stage and some Flat Back Gold Star Studs – Mixed Size Set on the wheels.

I knew I wanted the wagon to be pulled. Since the Tiny Faux Ring Handle lays flush I gave it a bit of depth with the addition of an 8x6mm Patina Barrel Bead with Geometric Pattern glued to the back. This allowed me to hook a chain to the side of the wagon.

I used the Red Suede Paper again to fashion a collar for the larger 2 inch elephant who pulls the wagon.

The clown image on the back of the tin is from the Tiny Circus Collage Sheet. The clown is juggling milefiori glass cabochons.

After a few dark winter months I’m so happy to be working on a project that just screams springtime! I made an Easter display for Alpha Stamps made from the new Fancy Wooden Coffee Table and Arch Top Facade Bookshelf – Short, filled with pastel treats, cookies and bunnies galore.

The new coffee table looks eerily similar to one we used to own from Ethan Allen. It comes with a lovely maple finish. Since I wanted to lighten things up a bit, I got out a sanding block to roughen the surface and gave it a few coats of light ivory acrylic paint.

The Arch Top Facade Bookshelf – Short is super simple to assemble. I put it together with a bit of tacky glue and painted it the same ivory shade as the table base. I added some cheerful background papers to the interior.

I made quite a few polymer clay cookies for this piece. Miniature cutters were used to make different springtime cookie shapes. The cookie surfaces were roughened using a toothbrush and then baked.

I gave the cookies a toasty fresh-baked appearance using different shades of brown pastel chalks applied to the surface with my finger.

White liquid Sculpey was tinted by scraping in a bit of pastel chalk with a knife blade and giving it a good mix.

For these flowers, I gave the centers a small dot of the liquid clay then baked it just enough for it to set.

That allowed me to add other colors to the petals without the colors running together.

A cookie bouquet was made by gluing flat toothpicks to the backs of a few finished cookies. Those got placed inside a Tiny Wooden Flower Pot painted pink and white along with a couple of the ¾ Inch Multicolored Lollipops . So cute!

To the left of the cookie bouquet on the bottom shelf you’ll find one of the new 1 Inch Oval Faux Wicker Baskets with 2 Handles holding a 3/4 Inch Rabbit watching over some dyed polymer clay eggs. Everything is nestled in Mini Easter Basket Grass.

Behind the basket sit the new Transparent Mini Nail Polish Bottles with the sweet little rabbit labels on the front.

To the right of the cookie bouquet I made a tray of bunny peeps made from Pastel Bunnies Polymer Clay slices sitting on one of the White Plastic Serving Dishes. To the right of the peeps are Tiny Resin Lollipops inside a Tiny Glass Jar with Lid.

I also included a decorated egg made from polymer clay sitting in a White Ceramic Mini Egg Cup.

I can’t resist working with a 1:12 Inch Gingerbread House and since Alpha Stamps carries so many cute polymer clay slices it was so much fun to make an Easter version.

After assembling and painting the house I used the Easter Eggs Polymer Clay Slice Mix for roof shingles. The egg shells from the Yellow Chicks Polymer Clay Slice Mix turned upside down made perfect awnings above the windows. I also used the Bright Flowers and Pastel Bunnies slice mixes.

Tiny treats on the middle shelf are displayed in Even Tinier Bottles. I added a decorative element to a couple of them with Pink and Turquoise Thin Looped Dresden Borders. Inside the first one are Multicolor Striped Candy Sticks. The pink version holds 2mm Matte Pastel Seed Bead Mix and the other holds Tiny Polymer Clay Marshmallow Sprinkles.

To fancy the bottles up I set aside the corks and made fancy lids from ball head straight pins glued inside metal spacer beads. The pin shafts were clipped off after the glue dried.

I formed a dark chocolate egg shape from brown polymer clay and after baking I added a few of the Bright Flowers slices for decoration and displayed it in a Tiny Box with Oval Window Scalloped Overlay. Since the tiny box is delicate I found it helpful to score the fold lines with a bone folder before assembly.

The chocolate egg sits on the top shelf next to Pink Rooster and Hen Figurines (I may have squealed out loud when I saw these), a Tiny Resin Bunny and a Pink Ceramic Teapot. In the rear you’ll find some of those poly clay cookies glued onto a 1 Inch Mini Grapevine Wreath because who doesn’t love a cookie wreath?! I couldn’t resist adding a sweet image from the Easter Parade Collage Sheet set behind an 18x13mm Glass Cab to the top of the hutch.

Atop the hutch sit some Pink Tulips in a Basket, along with a Tiny Resin Bunny Rabbit and a box of sweet treats I made using one of the new Skinny Chunky Crates.

The crate was painted pale pink and decorated with Pink Dresden, 4mm White Ric Rac Trim and a Tiny Resin Pastel Bow. Inside you’ll find a Pink Cupcake with Cherries, a Red Rosebud Cupcake, a Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting & Cherry, some Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, and a polymer clay cookie decorated with one of the Tiny Pink, White & Chocolate Bow Stickers. I made my own version of a Lindt chocolate bunny by gluing gold Metallic Foiled Origami Paper onto a Mini Chocolate Bunny Shape.
