October 27th Update: The Tent Giveaway Winner is… |
Nice job, Laura Carson! She came up with an idea for 3D tents with solid sides and shows how to cut a variety of door shapes in one side (like that little, unfinished red and white striped tent at right) or just cutting a slit and turning back the edges for that fancy gypsy tent in the larger photo at far right.
There are TWO On Sale! collage sheets with all the pieces needed for 2 styles of tents. (Note: You will need to print (or purchase) either collage sheet twice to make 1 complete tent.) Or you can buy the On Sale! digital set and get FOUR different tents with extra characters and embellishments (and then you can resize the tent, too).
Plus Laura has created a video tutorial so you can see how the pieces go together.
And see those luscious colors and patterns in the turned-back curtains on the gypsy tent (and on the little platform the babe is sitting on)… they’re from the Autumn Song 6×6 Paper Pad! It’s a lovely collection of Autumn prints.
I also want to point out the lanterns on the sides of the tent (from the Halloween Carnival #4 Collage Sheet) and the Brass Man in the Moon Charms serving as “finials” on the “tent poles.” (And all 3 of those items I just highlighted are in today’s Giveaway!)
)
For more info (and a video tutorial), see Laura’s blog.
Hey, and since a week from today is HALLOWEEN, remember that the BIG SALE on both the Halloween Theme and Halloween Carnival Event Supplies Sections ends October 31st!
Plus don’t forget to look below for the Giveaway Miz Meghan chose, based on Laura’s artwork!
