20 BRAND NEW Collage Sheets, Alice in Wonderland Goodies, and a GIVEAWAY!

I'm beyond excited to announce a new line of Collage Sheets available in the shop! Gorgeous, colorful sheets created by the talented Cassandra VanCuren of Cassi's Creations! Cassandra is a long time friend, amazing artist, and all around sweet gal! Cassandra and I go way back, and come to think of it, she was one of the first online artists I ever swapped an ATC with! You should definitely check out her blog. She posts the most amazing eye candy! I'm thrilled to be working with Cassandra, and her sheets will be available exclusively at Retro Cafe Art Gallery. As always they are available in digital (jpeg) and paper formats!

Here are just a few of my favorites. There are 20 fabulous new sheets and you can see them all HERE!

Mermaids, Maries, Cakes, Borders, Words, Stages, Flowers, and more oh my...

And how about some art samples?

Design Team Member Jennifer Ingle whipped up this beautiful "Spoolie" using the new Rosey Marie Pink Collage Sheet, Pink Stickles, and a Memo Pin. Isn't she lovely? A huge thanks to Jennifer for making her so quickly too! I kind of sprung it on her last minute, but she handled it like a crafting pro!

I wanted to play too. When I saw the Alice in Wonderland ATC Collage Sheet they immediately reminded me of bottle labels. I knew right away I wanted to incorporate them with the Corked Vials. Of course the sheet makes great ATCs too!

I also knew I wanted a few embellishments to dangle off the bottle so Card Suit Charms were born! They look awesome in the red and black acrylic or you can get them in Masonite if you want to alter them yourself.

And what is an Alice in Wonderland bottle without a "Drink Me" tag? So I made some of those too! The font is pretty darn close to the tag in the original cartoon.

The Alice in Wonderland Tags come in a set of 4. Either two of each or 4 of one design!

And here is my finished Alice Bottle.


The bottle was really easy to make. I started by Shrinking down the Alice in Wonderland Collage Sheet and printing it out at 45% for the largest bottle in the Corked Vial set. After cutting out the image I peeled off one side of an Incredi-sheet, and placed my image on the sheet. I then cut out both layers, and was left with a perfect label sticker! I inked the edges of the image a bit, and then peeled off the backing of the Incredi-sheet and stuck the label on my bottle. Since the Incredi-sheet is double sided, permanent, and crystal clear, it worked like a DREAM to attach the label. (fun tip: you can decorate the back of your image prior to attaching the clear Incredi-tape, and your design will show when you are looking through the back of the bottle). Next, I tied a piece of cheese cloth to the top of my bottle (any ribbon or fiber would work). I attached the Drink Me Tag using a 7mm jump ring, simply pushing it through the cheese cloth. I also added a jump ring to the Card Suit Charm and then just for fun attached it to the cloth using a Mini Pin. Finally I filled my bottle with glitter! I plan to use the bottle as a cute, glitter storage container! Hope you enjoyed this mini tutorial!
