2018 Sneak Peeks! (UPDATED)
There’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to the 2018 Keepsake Ornament collection. Product Development Director Jim Tronoski shares a few of the things he’s looking forward to most, along with some sneak peeks that really bring the magic of Keepsake Ornaments to life.
Premium
Old World Santa
Tracy Larsen’s Premium Old World Santa is incredibly detailed with a classic European influence. Made of porcelain with fabric attachments, the ornament features opulent details. Tracy is getting his chance to creatively explore finishes for this one-of-a-kind treasure.
Regal Reindeer
This ornament, created by Joanne Eschrich, is one of my favorites from the Premium Collection. Made of porcelain, it’s topped with jewels, beads and other magical treasures. Our Keepsake artists are doing beautiful work with premium materials, and it’s exciting to see them create these little masterpieces.
Magic
Miniature
Flight of Fancy
This highly imaginative, steam-powered sleigh, influence by the steampunk aesthetic, features a boiler, a rudder and a hand-activated spinning propeller. You’ll see multicolored lights in the hot-air balloon itself, with more lighting effects in the exhaust and headlight lantern. It’s all topped off with lots of copper, gold and other metallic colors to really make it shine. By Tracy Larsen.
Kissing Clauses
To the tune of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” the Clauses spin and come together for a kiss! By Sharon Visker.
Furry Lil’ Friends
If you’re a fan of Making Memories, you won’t want to miss these little pals—and you know Tammy always delivers the charm. By Tammy Haddix.
Reveal: Super Bowl LII Champions Philadelphia Eagles
Super Bowl LII Champions Philadelphia Eagles
