mystery box FAQ's:

Question: what's in the mystery box? 

Answer: these mystery boxes are filled to the brim with classic sassafras favorites. you will be delighted! huge variety of papers and embellishments! We never include the brand new products released this year in a mystery box.... because we want you to keep shopping at your favorite local spot for the newest sassafras.

Question: if i buy two mystery boxes, will they both be the same?

Answer: mostly, yes. we could run out of one thing and if we do we'll replace it with another similar thing...so that's really the only time your two boxes would be different.

Question: how long before i get my box?

Zulily event today! and a DIY headband tutorial

Are you a zulily.com shopper? Today is your lucky day! Sassafras and Zulily have partnered for a spectacular 3 day shopping event. Find your sassafras favorites for 50% to 75% OFF... while supplies last! Coincidentally (wink, wink) the products featured in today's headband tutorial can be found at the zulily event.

DIY headband tutorial from marla:

Today it seems like hair accessories are all the rage.  From flower clips to headbands, it's really easy to make your own.  I'm going to show you  how to make this sweet little floral headband using just a couple of products and a few minutes of your time.

First off you'll need a few things.  Some cardstock (or heavy weight paper), a thin headband (practically any style can work), a package of "paper whimsies" and a package of "in-a-stitch" blossoms or "entwined blooms."  You'll also need a stapler and glue (I used glue dots).

To get started, cut four circles from the cardstock - mine were 1.5" in diameter.

Staple the circles onto the headband, sandwiching the headband between them.  Keep the two circle sandwiches separate from each other because it'll help the headband form nicely to the head when worn.

 

Arrange and layer the paper whimsies to create two flowers.  Use the glue to adhere the layers together.  Use one of the more detailed flower (in-a-stitch blossom or entwined bloom) for the top layer.  Curl the flower edges to create some dimension.

 

Glue the two flowers to the circles on the headband.

At this point you can either glue a piece of felt or another circle to the back of the flowers to get protection from the staples (I've never had a problem leaving the staples).  That's all there is to it!  These are so easy to make that you can coordinate them to any outfit.  Have fun!

 

Check back in later this morning for this weeks winner of the brand new Sunshine Broadcast release!

Australian girls have serious talent

Aussie Scrap Source is the exclusive distributor of Sassafras products in Australia. They are just fantastic and we have been friends for quite a few years now. We were thrilled with the news that Aussie Scrap Source would be running their very first manufacturers challenge featuring yours truly, Sassafras. What we didn't realize was how challenging it would be to judge the contest and decide on just one winner. We narrowed it down to our top favorites, and then had our head designer Tim make the final pick. Today we share with you what we consider to be some serious talent coming from down under.

 

Belinda Venables chose paper from the sweetly smitten line for her entry. In my opinion this project looks even more luscious than the lolly. For those Australian retailers reading this post let me read your mind and answer... YES you can find the sweetly smitten line at Aussie Scrap Source!

 

 

 

Christine Rumley combined "Mix and Mend" with her vintage stash of Sassafras alpha stickers to create this absolutely darling project. I hope Christine also entered this project in a contest for adorable baby pictures.

 

 

Another favorite project created by Georgia Keays. "Sweetly Smitten" pattern papers topped with the Sweetly Foldies equals an end result of beautiful.

 

 

 

 

Natalie Elphinstone has done it again, creating another eye catching project using loads of Sassafras goodies. She uses "Tailored Deck" paper whimsies to count just a few of the reasons for loving her sweet bundle. Can't think of a better use for paper products than that!

 

 

 

 

Piradee uses one of my favorite "Starters" papers as her base and builds a simply elegant project from their. I like how she tied in patterns from previous collections.

 

 

Speaking of tied in... eye spy one of those really cool "Entwined Blooms". Nice touch Piradee!

 

 

 

And ladies and gentlemen this brings me to the winning project created by the one and only super talented Kathleen Glossop! Ohhh she's good.... she's really good! So what does this mean for Kathleen? Kathleen does receive a nice box of goodies AND a guest appearance right here on the Sassafras blog. BUT I would have to say we are all going to feel like winners from this contest because Kathleen is going to bring us inspiration galore .... coming up in May. I'm excited to see, and I'm sure you will be too.

 

 

 

 

Thank you Aussie Scrap Source for hosting a fabulous contest, it was great fun to see a bit of the wonderful talent you have in Australia! 

p.s.

AND thank you for always bringing those scrumptious Tim Tams to the states when you visit =)
