Are you gearing up for seasonal crafting? It’s important to carve out creative time even in the midst of all the busyness. Making for the holidays can be fun and practical (think gift giving), especially using Eileen Hull’s dies! Let’s take a look at what the Inspiration Team has to share with us this week …
Designer Jenny Marples created a fantastic Vintage Truck with matching Notepad in a rustic Christmas design. This set would make a great gift idea. Also note the cover of the notepad which has been embossed with Eileen’s 3-D Sweater Embossing Folder (I kind of have a love affair with that embossing folder!) Find all the how-to details on Jenny’s blog.
Susie Bentz has really been going to town making gift boxes using the Notepad Die. The possibilities really are endless! You could use these cute boxes for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts or just a little something extra! Visit Susie’s blog to see more ideas and how she made it into a box.
Do you have any fishing enthusiasts in your life? Pam Bray created a darling “Gone Fishing” Vintage Truck decoration with a fall flair. Those little gnomes are ready to head out to the lake! What a cute decoration this is. Find out how to make your own from Pam’s blog post.
Tonya Trantham’s best friend’s son was recently married and she made a gorgeous wedding album to give to them as a gift. Tonya used the Full Size Journal Die and the whole album is full of beautiful details and places to put all the photos from the special day. Don’t miss her blog post with detail photos and inside shots!
