The table is set. The teapot is brewing. Tiny lights flicker between the flowers, and somewhere amongst the leaves, a fairy is waiting for you to arrive…
Welcome to Fairy Tea Party, the latest theme from our After Dark stationery subscription box!
This month, we’re stepping into an enchanted world where afternoon tea gets a slightly darker, more magical makeover. Think whimsical fairy-tale gatherings, beautiful botanical details, mysterious woodland corners and just the right amount of sparkle.
Designed for journalers, scrapbookers and creative souls who prefer their stationery with a little more magic and mystery, the Fairy Tea Party box is filled with coordinating supplies to inspire your next creative escape.
So, pour yourself something lovely, find a quiet corner and discover what’s waiting inside…
What Is the After Dark Stationery Subscription Box?
The After Dark Box is the older, moodier sister of our Rowan Berry Box.
Created for those who like to embrace the darker side of stationery, each box explores a carefully chosen theme through beautiful artwork, creative supplies and exclusive paper goods.
From journaling and scrapbooking to collage and mixed-media projects, everything inside is selected to work beautifully together, giving you the freedom to open the box and simply start creating.
And this month? We’re heading somewhere particularly enchanting…
What's included:
- Washi tape set
- Sticker sheets
- Pentel Starflake Pens
- A5 soft touch notebook
- Ephemera colouring book
- A5 collage papers
Washi Tapes
Can you ever have too much washi tape? We think not! Inside your Fairy Tea Party box, you’ll find a coordinating set of three rolls of washi paper tape in 10mm, 15mm and 30mm widths.
Use the narrower designs to create delicate borders and page dividers, while the wider tape makes a beautiful statement across journal spreads, scrapbook pages and creative projects.
Three Sheets of Washi Paper Stickers
This month’s box includes three sheets of beautiful washi paper stickers featuring artwork by Ink Stories. The delicate finish of washi paper makes these perfect for creative journaling and collage, blending beautifully into your pages rather than sitting heavily on top.
Use them to build your own enchanted scenes, decorate notebook pages or add a little Fairy Tea Party magic to happy mail and scrapbooks.
Pentel Starflake Pens
Every fairy gathering needs a little sparkle! The Pentel Starflake Pens contain clear ink filled with fine glitter, allowing you to add a shimmering finish over your existing lettering and illustrations. Draw over selected details for a subtle twinkle, or build up multiple layers when your page calls for maximum fairy dust.
A5 Soft Touch Notebook
Of course, you’ll need somewhere to record your adventures! The A5 soft touch notebook contains 96 lined pages of 80gsm paper, finished with a wonderfully tactile cover and practical elasticated closure. Use it as an everyday journal, fill it with stories and observations, turn it into a themed creative notebook or keep it close by for those thoughts that appear when you least expect them.
Ephemera Colouring Book
This might be one of our favourite parts of the box. The Ephemera Colouring Book gives you the chance to become part of the creative process. Add your own colour palette to the beautiful illustrations, then cut out your finished pieces and use them as ephemera in your journals, scrapbooks and collage projects.
A5 Collage Papers
Ready to layer? The box also includes a beautiful collection of A5 collage papers, with four sheets printed on 125gsm pearl oyster paper and two sheets printed on plant-based vellum.
The combination of pearlescent paper and translucent vellum opens up so many creative possibilities. Cut them. Tear them. Layer them. Add stickers, washi and your hand-coloured ephemera. Use the vellum to soften illustrations underneath or experiment with overlapping textures to create depth.
Why go for Fairy Tea Party?
One of our favourite things about the Fairy Tea Party After Dark Box is how easily everything works together.
Start with the collage papers as your background. Layer over a piece of vellum. Add torn strips of washi tape, choose your favourite Ink Stories stickers and finish with hand-coloured ephemera.
Then?
Add a little Starflake sparkle, of course!
Whether you create elaborate scrapbook spreads or prefer simple journal pages, you can make the theme completely your own.
Who Is the After Dark Box For?
If you love creative journaling, scrapbooking, collage, stationery and analogue hobbies, the After Dark Box is designed to give you a regular dose of inspiration.
It’s particularly perfect for creatives who love their stationery a little more mysterious, alternative and unexpected.
While the Rowan Berry Box explores our lighter, brighter themes, After Dark embraces the shadows with rich artwork, atmospheric concepts and creative supplies that invite you to explore a different side of your imagination.
Fairy Tea Party brings those two worlds together beautifully: whimsical and enchanting, with just enough mystery hiding amongst the flowers.
