Wow, October sure disappeared in a puff of smoke. Time does fly! Here we are with a new theme and we are going to Sparkle & Shine with Eileen Hull products all month long. Whether it’s holiday makes or everyday glam, I’m sure we’re going to be inspired by the creativity of the designers!
ALSO, don’t miss the special Comfort & Joy kickoff event SATURDAY, Nov. 5th!
We are starting off the 2022 holiday season with the 2022 Comfort & Joy Kickoff event – an all day workshop put on by Eileen and team! You will learn tips, tricks and techniques for working with Eileen’s products and how they may be used throughout the holiday season. Join us for our third annual Comfort & Joy holiday craft celebration to create journals, holiday packaging and containers, cards, small gifts, ornaments and so much more!
The Comfort & Joy Kickoff event will be held on Saturday, November 5 beginning at 9:30 Eastern Time and ending about 4:00. There will be a little break for lunch. The event will be hosted in a private Facebook group.
On the day of the event, attendees will gather in the group at 9:30 AM Eastern time to watch the first live. Eileen will start the event off and every 45 minutes, a new team member will be introduced with a tutorial, technique or project. Craft along live if you’d like or catch up later on replay – whatever works for you! There will be a total of 8 classes plus bonus projects. This is a steal at $20 for the whole day! Sign up HERE.
And the Comfort & Joy event doesn’t end there! Following the Kickoff event, the party continues in the Eileen Hull Fan Club Facebook group! From Nov. 7- 18, there will be additional content provided each weekday for free. Join the Fan Club and join the party!
Time for Sparkle & Shine with Eileen Hull inspiration…
Pam Bray created a gorgeous holiday decor piece incorporating Eileen’s Sunflower and Geometric Box Dies. This month the designers are also doing a collaboration with Sizzix to use their new Cork Surfacez in their projects. The word on the street from them is that the cork is a dream to work with and looks fabulous. I agree! Pam used it on the background and also embossed on it to make the flowers. Fabulous! Find all the details in her blog post.
Sarah Lizzie also made good use of the new Sunflower Die by creatively using the cuts to make poinsettia ornaments. I love this idea! Sequins form the sparkly center in a perfect finishing detail. These would be great as package toppers or anything that requires a little festive touch. See how to make one in Sarah Lizzie’s post!
Remember me mentioning that the Comfort & Joy Event is coming up? Well here is a sneak peek of the beautiful Christmas journal that Karen Bearse will be teaching on the 5th! Wow! Karen always has great mixed media techniques to share and I’m sure participants will learn all sorts of nifty things during her time. Check out Karen’s blog for the details.
Thanks for stopping by! More inspiration next week.
