Well, here we find ourselves in the last week of October. Wow! It has been a month full of inspiring creations made using Eileen Hull’s newest Sizzix Dies. This week’s post will feature Teacup and Post Box projects from the Educator Team. As usual, we’ll see a wide range of styles and themes because Eileen’s dies are the perfect blank canvases to showcase your own brand of creativity.
What Eileen says about her two new dies:
I had so many requests for the teacup die (retired a couple of years ago) that I designed a new one for you – the Teacup, 3D & Spoon! What is different about it? This is a Bigz L die (which means a lower price point!), and features a spoon (new), teabag label (could be used as a teeny tiny book!) and insert piece.
This XL ScoreBoards Post Box die was designed to work as a mini mailbox. The slot will allow a gift card/credit card to go through. It would be a fun way to decorate a gift card box for the holidays. And did I mention that assembling this die takes about 10 seconds? Seriously!
What Teacup & Post Box treats does the Educator Team have in store for us? Scroll on…
Designer Betsy Skagen used her own line of rubber stamps to artfully decorate her Christmas Wish Post Box project. I love the thought behind this wish box and the vintage styling gives you a warm nostalgic feeling. Betsy has more photos and a tutorial on her blog so be sure to check that out.
Educator Team member Sarah Lizzie also found festive inspiration for her Teacup and Post Box projects. She is sharing the tutorial for these makes that first made their appearance in the kick off Blog Hop Release Party at the beginning of the month. All the holiday touches really get you in the mood for Christmas!
Madeline Arendt really thought out of the box for her clever Christmas ornament designs. Can you see what she used for the bodies of her cute decorations? All is revealed in the tutorial on her blog, plus some other ideas for ornaments too.
Jennie Atkinson also did a some out of the box thinking for her latest project with the dies. She combined the two dies to make a perfect gift for a tea loving friend or family member – a sweet little box filled with teacup shaped coasters! Check out her blog for the tutorial and additional photos of this lovely make.
Visit us next week for a new month and a new theme!
