Door Shrine Kit Design Team Work and a GIVEAWAY! Plus TONS of New Goodies in the Shop!


I'm so excited about our new Coffee Break Design Door Shrine Kits! Here we have the Baroque Door Shrine Kit.



And my personal Favorite, the Victorian Door Shrine Kit.
The Retro Cafe Art Gallery Design Team created some AMAZING samples to show you!


This first piece is by Jennifer Ingle using the Baroque Door Shrine Kit. She also used the Corked Vials (for the sprinkles) and the image that says "Toys" from the Vintage Grunge ATC Backgrounds Collage Sheet. There is also a touch of Scalloped Gold Dresden. Completely adorable!



Jennifer Ingle also created this wonderful piece using the Traditional Door Shrine Kit. She also used an image from the Vintage Steampunk ATC Backgrounds Collage Sheet. I love the cool assemblage she created on the top.


Gerri Herbst created this super whimsy piece using the Victorian Door Shrine Kit. She also used a Small Frozen Charlotte, a paper rose, Adage Tickets, and an image from the Chic Demask Collage Sheet for the background.


I love how she used the fancy button as the door knob. What a fantastic piece!


Peek-a-boo!


Next up is Bianca Mandity's piece using the Baroque Door Shrine Kit. Bianca also used the Spiderweb ATC Overlay as the background (brilliant!), a Gravestone Border, and Small Bat Wings. On the front she used the Number Block Stencil to create a shrink plastic piece as the door number!

 
I'm loving the colors on this piece!



And finally, Kristin Hubick's piece using the Victorian Door Shrine Kit. You can see the full tutorial HERE.

We have TONS of other new goodies too....


Several types of mini hardware! Perfect for the new Door Kits, ATCs, or jewelry projects!


Stand-up Men to go with the Stand-up Ladies


Mini Masonite Gears


Several types of Extra Long Art Brads





Vintage Perfume or Poison Bottles (swoon)


Small Stand-Up Numbers


AMAZING Vintage Circuit Boards in Small Sizes with eyelet sized holes! 5 Types!
Great for Steampunk art!


Colored Metallic Eyelets. These are awesome on the circuit boards!

    I am so grateful for this post. The shrines are absolutely adorable and those crystal doorknobs are just gorgeous but what also really grabbed my attention were the tins of guilder pastes. I have been using the tiny trays of rub-ons for years and wondering why no one made bigger sized ones. I am thrilled to be able to finally buy a good size of it in many of my favorite colors. I loved the way you used the patina color on your shrine. Very cool Kristine

    Eek! I love them all, but I think my favorite is the Baroque Door Shrine kit followed closely by the Traditional Door Shrine kit.

    Such a touch choice.
