Hasn’t this been a great month? All during September the Teams have been looking to the Great Outdoors for the inspiration for their creative projects. We have definitely been treated to some fabulous makes! This week the Educator Team steps up to the plate to wow us with their interpretations of the theme. Let’s take a look…
Designer Sarah Lizzie loves to spend time at the seaside listening to sound of the waves and that love comes through in her summery Display Stand Die project celebrating the sea. Check out her blog post for all the how-to on making this fun project.
Madeline Arendt created a banner project that lets you bring a bit of the outdoors inside to brighten up your indoor decor. I love how she incorporates fabric and natural materials. Plus, these banners have a little secret in the construction. You will have to go read Madeline’s blog to find out what it is…
Heads up for full on fall…
The rest of the Educator Team has definitely jumped into the fall feel feet first! Give us pumpkins, colored leaves and Halloween!
Cleverly using two of the lid pieces from the Treasure Box Die, Jennie Atkinson created a botanical box bedecked with a butterfly, flowers and other found embellishments. The collection radiates a gentle fall feel. See Jennie’s blog post for many more detail photos of this beautiful project and also the tutorial.
Anne Redfern checks the Halloween box with this delightfully spooky outdoor scene featuring Arthur the grumpy owl. Apparently he does not approve of the yowling cat. This is a journal cover made using the Journal XL Die. Anne shares a tutorial and some photos of parts of the inside on her blog so you will not want to miss that!
Anita Houston shares a quick and easy project with us that is also interactive! If you harken back to your childhoods, you may remember flannel boards with felt cut out characters you could rearrange on the background. Well, Anita created a mini fall themed one using the Display Stand Die! This is such a creative idea and would make a fun little gift. She spills all her secrets in her blog post so head on over and read up on how to make your own.
Next week it’s party time!!
