We are getting well into the holiday season now. Here in the USA Thanksgiving is in about two weeks! All this month on the blog, Eileen Hull’s Teams are crafting hard to bring Seasons’ Greetings inspiration to you! Last week we kicked it off with some festive makes from the Inspiration Team and it continues on with this week’s projects. Let’s take a look…
Time to get crafty!
Julia Aston created a beautiful stand to hold photos of holiday memories using Eileen’s Display Stand Die. The festive patterned paper and darling little trees and deer really make this project special. See Julia’s blog post for all the details and instructions!
Designer Mitsyana Wright used Eileen’s new Teacup Die to create this absolutely adorable Christmas card. Just because a die is a Scoreboards die, you don’t have to use it only to make 3-D projects. As Mitsyana shows us, you can use them to cut patterned paper and use the elements on things like cards! See all the details in her blog post.
Stitching up some Christmas cuteness is Susie Bentz! She was inspired to turn a card design she previously made into felt Christmas Snowman Mitten ornaments. Eileen’s steel rule dies make short work of cutting heavier substrates! You will not want to miss Susie’s instructions and variations in her blog post. Head on over to check it out.
Keep going, more Seasons’ Greeings crafting inspiration follows…
Maggi Harding also created some beautiful Christmas cards using Eileen’s dies. Who wouldn’t want to receive one of these in the mail? The mitten card has a slot for a gift card and the snowman card is a step out card (love that card format!) See Maggi’s blog post for the details and many more photos!
In our final set of cards for the week, Jenny Marples has some delightful snowman cards to share with us. I really love the atypical color scheme that she chose. It pays to have a stash of leftover papers and scraps from previous projects! See Jenny’s blog post for tips on using that stash to jump start your card making.

Eileen, you know that I love you. But I don’t watch videos with someone in a mask, look at FB posts about masks in any way, etc. It makes me sad and bothered for many reasons, one being our lack of freedom. I am sure that there are many others who do not want to see masks, either. I do crafts, watch craft videos, etc for enjoyment. Masks cause a reaction in me that make the experience negative. I have been unfriending companies and bloggers that do mask crafts, the host(ess) wears one, etc. Most people won’t mention that the masks are oppressive and disturbing and that is why they are leaving…crafts are out escape. We are subjected to mask propoganda everywhere we go, on every bit of media we use, and some of us just can’t take it anymore. I don’t WANT to have to avoid all of these crafty people and companies, but it is just too much.
Sharon you are free to watch whatever you want! The store that I was in required me to wear a mask and I am happy to do that in order to protect myself and others. We are so blessed to live in a country where everyone is allowed to act as their conscience allows!
