October Makes

I’ve been jamming in a bunch of design team work after spending 4 fun-filled days at the Crop & Create Delivered Card making “retreat”. It is an online event if you aren’t familiar with C&C. But it is jam packed. I buy special meals, snacks and treats, clean my room and prep for a week in advance. So to me this IS a retreat. It just means I don’t have to pay for hotels or flights. 😉

At any rate, that means my other crafty life had to play catch up. On the design team at CKC we create our own products each month and offer mini kit inspiration. I was tasked with both jobs this month and combined them up nicely.

The Makes

Fist here are my makes for October. Fabric flowers created two ways. Denim was upcycled to create the flowers on the left in pleated style and rolled style. On the right, felt was die cut to create sunflowers.

If you want to see more of that in action, plus a peek at one of my fails, then check out this video.

The Mini Kit

A couple of days later I put those sunflowers to use in my mini kit. I took some of the supplies that did not make it into my main kit for the month and included them in this mini kit. I knew what I wanted to make and since I didn’t own the products to make it happen, I designed some myself. In fact I’ve already release that brand new, FREE cut file for all of you to download. It is featured in this blog post.

With my kit and cut file ready I set to work. I created these fun table decor items. But don’t limit yourself to just table decor. These would make great notecards to sent as well.
