Hello again Eileen Hull fans! January is the month for showcasing creative cards made using Eileen’s dies and the Inspiration Team has another batch to get your creative juices flowing. You will see that Eileen’s Sizzix dies aren’t just for big 3-D makes. You can use them in all sorts of 2-D projects… like cards! Scroll on and let’s take a look.
The Mitten Box Die is proving quite popular for card projects. It’s easy to see why, how cute is this Valentine card that Julia Aston made? The patterned papers and subtle details make this clean and simple card really shine. She also made a lovely smaller card to congratulate someone on a new home. You can find the details for both creative cards in her blog post.
Maggi Harding had some fun creating with two of Eileen’s brand new Thinlits dies, the Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers Set and the Mandala Die. These new dies have so many possibilities! Maggi makes the most wonderful cards with beautiful patterned paper (Graphic 45 this time, yum) and you will love this layered beauty:
You can see more details and the how-to in her blog post so don’t miss that!
Designer Susie Bentz’s card shines too… literally! She added some sparkle to her card and envelope by raiding her large washi tape stash and using Rinea foiled paper. She also used Eileen’s Hearts Journaling Cards Die Set to make a custom stencil for the background. Now that is a creative card and what a great tip to extend the uses of your dies! Head on over to her blog to find the instructions for her hack.
