Season’s Greetings from the Educators Team! Only about one week left of November, can you believe it? (For the USA folk, happy Thanksgiving.) If you’ve been keeping up with the blog happenings this month, you will know that all the designers have been rocking the holiday makes and this week is no exception! We have a whole list of fabulously festive projects from the Educators Team…
The Tiny Book and Tiny Book Case Dies are a perfect pairing and educator Sue Eldred has created a Merry Little Christmas version that is merry indeed! She says they are a wonderful little gift or you can use it as a tree ornament. Visit her blog to see more photos and instructions on how to make your own.
Madeline Arendt has a whole roundup of Christmas project inspiration in her blog post this week! From gift giving to holiday decor, she has it covered Sizzix style. You will not want to miss all her ideas and die hacks that she shares in the post so head on over.
Jennie Atkinson cleverly used the Pocket Notebook Die to make a gift box to hold scented tea light candles. It is beautiful and practical and once again just goes to show how versatile Eileen Hull’s dies are. Jennie’s idea can also be easily adapted to fit any occasion or theme, not just Christmas. Bravo! Check out all the details on Jennie’s blog.

I love Anita Houston’s steampunk Christmas style! Eileen’s Post Box Die gets a gear-head makeover and emerges on the other side as a fabulous ornament that doubles as a gift card holder. Shut the front door! Awesomeness. All the details and tons of photos can be found on Anita’s blog.
Lastly, Sarah Lizzie has a darling Rudolph gift card holder to share. She used one of Eileen’s older dies, the Gift Card Folder and it is really cute! Featuring lots of glitz and googly eyes, you can find the step by step tutorial on Sarah’s blog.
