Spring Forward with Fantastic Folios and More

Spring forward with fantastic Folios! Spring is almost here and the flowers outside aren’t the only things blooming. The creative minds of the Inspiration Team are as well with Eileen Hull’s newest Sizzix Chapter 1 Dies to work with – the ScoreBoards Folio Journal Die, coordinating Folio Page, Pockets and Flower Thinlits set and the Mandala Thinlits die. Let’s see what they’ve been up to…

Take one look at Jenny Marples’ latest project and you are sure to say, “Wow!” You saw the beginnings of this epic Folio last month and Jenny is back with a look at the finished cover and part one of the inside pages. Her collage layering and use of textures and colors is fab to the extreme! Finish reading this post and then get over to her blog stat to see it all!

Designer Anna-Karin also worked her mixed media magic for her latest Folio Journal! Yummy texture and colors combine with the bling of foil to create a super cool journal. The floral element cut using the Folio Page, Pockets and Flower die set adds the perfect touch to the cover. Don’t miss Anna-Karin’s tutorial and give her techniques a try yourself.

Elizabeth Robinson created a delightfully stitchy Folio completely out of fabric scraps. I love it! Flowers, embroidery, batik fabrics – yes please Elizabeth, show us more. =) It is a cheerful and whimsical art journal to be sure and she shows you how to put one together yourself in her blog post.

Let’s not forget Easter is nearly here…

Tonya Trantham certainly hasn’t. She cleverly combined two of Eileen’s dies – the pocket from the Folio Page die set and the Teacup Die to create this darling bunny basket Easter decoration. I love the festive touches and I believe I spy some chocolate tucked away in the basket (well done Tonya). Find out how to make some of your own in Tonya’s blog post. They would be great little gifts!
