Did I say that last week we had a truckload of projects for you? I should have saved that for this week! Oh my. Get a beverage and get comfy because we have complete inspiration overload coming right up with both the Inspiration and Educator Teams…
Here’s what Eileen has to say about her newly released dies,
“The Chapter 4 Sizzix Release is exciting for so many reasons – there are two never-done-before designs! One is the Full Size Journal which is a Bigz Pro size – you will need a machine with at least a 9″ throat to cut this die – like a Big Shot Plus or Pro. Not to worry, if you don’t have that machine, Eileen will have the pre-cut pieces available in her Etsy store for you to work with. The other new technology is a 3-D Embossing Folder! It’s called Sweater and is oh so cozy. Also new this release is a Bigz Notepad Die with lots of options for materials and uses, and a Heart Mandala Thinlits Die to decorate with!”
Let’s dive right in!
(You have your beverage right? Maybe snacks too? Just sayin’.) Designer Jenny Marples has created a beautiful Full Size Journal cover in her signature style. She also utilized the Heart Mandala Die to create a stencil. Visit her blog for a closer look!
Tonya Trantham also made a journal but cut the cover down to make it slimmer. Her December Daily journal is complete with pom-poms and loads of festive details. See more in the post!
Julia Aston has a clever way to use a Heart Mandala die cut to create this darling posie pocket card. Find out how on her blog.
More die hack cleverness comes to us from Susie Bentz. She used the Notepad Die to make a box. What is inside? You will just have to visit her blog to see!
How you doing? Inspiration overload? We’re just getting started!
Elizabeth Robinson delights us with a gorgeous shabby chic Full Size Journal cover. Love that lace and fabric texture! Find out more in Elizabeth’s post!
For a spookily October appropriate make, look no further than Jenny Marple’s Halloween candy box made using the Notepad Die. She is thinking out of the box by making it into a box! Find her how-to tips on her blog.
Double helping of inspiration with the Educator Team…
We’ve combined the Educator Team projects with this week because next week we will have a special post for you. Stay tuned…
How are the snacks holding out? ha ha! Shall we then…
After that brief interlude, (see what I did there?) Jennie Atkinson is here to share her Music Journal with us all! It is in Jennie’s beautiful style and she has a walkthrough video in her blog post so pay it a visit.
Educator Sarah Lizzie is ready for the holiday season with this festive Christmas planner project! She has all the instructions for this fun and useful make on her blog.
Madeline Arendt used the Full Size Journal Die to create a recipe book! What a great idea to make as a gift (or for yourself). See how she used a ring binder insert for the binding and check out all the fun details on her blog.
Fall is my favorite so I can really appreciate Sue Eldred’s vintage looking fall memories album. The papers and details are really lovely. Find out more in her blog post.
Whew! That was a truckload and a half of inspiration overload wasn’t it? We hope all the fab makes from the designers spark some ideas for you to go try. Did you miss the previous posts this month? If so, check here, here and here.
