2021 Collection: Star Wars
In celebration of Star Wars Day, May the Fourth, here is a review of the Star Wars ornaments included in the 2021 Keepsake Ornament line.
Star Wars™
An interactive Death Star is born
Keepsake artists are always focused on innovation, so Orville Wilson was excited to work on this Death Star tree topper with new capabilities. “I put a Star Wars tree up every year,” he says, “and I always wished my tree topper could play with the other Storytellers ornaments.” This year, Orville’s wish comes true. “It has a much bigger presence and a lot more detail than the original,” he shares, “It lights up really well and interacts with the new 2021 storytellers ornaments.” Orville gives credit to everyone who collaborated to bring the technology together. “It took a team to make it happen, and I can’t wait to add it to my tree.”

2021 National Superhero Day
Today we honor and celebrate all heroes, whether they are real or fictional. Heroes are people we look up to, who inspire us and keep us safe. They are doctors, nurses, police officers, firemen, volunteers, teachers, and sometimes seemingly ordinary people who rise to the occasion. They are role models who teach us values and kindness. They are those who go above and beyond to do good for others or make our world a better place. For all that they are, we offer our gratitude to let them know that what they do matters.

Artist Journal: Debra Nielsen (Tabletop Horse)
This entry is about a project Deb is working on outside of her Keepsake-related work projects. Hint: It’s beautiful! And large scale! And an animal (who can guess which one?)!
Wednesday, April 28, 2021
Deb: “[Keepsake Artist] Kristina Gaughran and I were admiring some photos of larger scale sculptures and expressed an interest in giving it a try. Fortunately, Hallmarkers are given 5 days each year to pursue something that inspires them and their work.” This program is often referred to as #my5days and offers 5 workdays per year for creative employees to renew, explore, learn, and think differently about the world and work around them.”
Deb: “Kris, Matt Kesler [a fellow artist and workshop consultant] and I decided to take 3 days and gathered some larger scale tools and soft clay to sculpt with. [if you haven’t guessed by now, Deb has designed and is working on a stunning large-scale tabletop horse.] I wanted to focus on a dramatic pose for the horse I am sculpting. I still have a lot of detail work to accomplish, but making a familiar subject at a new scale, with different tools and materials has been very enjoyable.”
#My5Days – A program Hallmark began in 2016 that gives creative employees five work days per year to explore any creative project that inspires them.
Artist Insights: 2021 Puppy Love
Hallmark sat down (virtually!) with Anita to discuss her adorable Boston Terrier, the 31st ornament in her Puppy Love series. Enjoy!
Anita also added, “some Boston Terriers have a dot in the middle of the white blaze on their foreheads called a Haggerty spot, although some people call it an Angel Kiss, so I gave this pup the angel kiss for good measure. ” How cute!
We can’t wait for you to see Anita’s adorable Boston Terrier ornament when it releases at Ornament Premiere in July!
