The scoop from Eileen…
Hi all – It is crunch time here at the EH Headquarters 🙂 I’m making samples for the Release Party, putting together supplies for the trip, moving around my studio again and doing a little babysitting before we leave for the big trip to the UK. Some things have changed as far as flying so hopefully we have all the paperwork in order.
SNEAK PEEK TIME!
Last Thursday I shared a SNEAK PEEK of my new Sizzix dies coming out September 1! It’s a really cool collection that I can’t wait to share – I hope you like it. The bundle of new dies will be available for pre-order in my Etsy shop and there’s a special deal for you, friends.
The Home Sweet Home Bundle includes three Thinlit die sets and an A-5 3D Embossing Folder. The retail price is $92 – get the bundle here for $85 PLUS FREE SHIPPING in the US, you can find it HERE! If you don’t have the Handbound Journal, you may want to get that now as this collection was designed to fit inside the book to create a tunnel book.
Live from Eileen Hull:
Today in the spirit of “Mix and Match”, our theme for the month, I am creating a customized journal for my trip to the UK coming up in two weeks! I’m using the Skinny Mini Book Box as a base and pages made from the Handbound Journal. Then I’ll add some pockets and cards using the Library Pocket. I’m thinking of decorating with text pages and some napkin decoupage… because it has been a while! BTW, I have some new napkins up in the Etsy shop!
A flat color wheel is good but a 3D one will be even better 🙂 I think these would make a good ornament or banner for your studio. I’m using the Rainbow Wheel die, Color Wheel stencil, some watercolor rejects as background and maybe some gel prints! Hope you can join me…
On the road!
The UK Roadshow starts in just a few weeks! I’ll be teaching at four stores along the way: Loobi Crafts, Country View Crafts, Amelia’s and The Mad Scrapper. There are a couple spots open to contact the store near you for a seat.
New Sizzix Dies Release Party Sept. 2nd!
Watch the Release Party on September 2 at 8:00 PT/11:00 ET/

Inspiration from the Creative Team…
The August theme for the Team is “Mix & Match”. That means combining old and new product into exciting projects for your inspiration! Let’s see what we have from the Team for this week…
Jenny Marples created several fabulous collage panels mixing old and new dies and stencils. She also added some slow stitching and other mixed media elements. Awesome! See more of the panels here.
so cool!
Tonya Trantham upcycled an old iPhone box in her signature style. You’ll be surprised at some of the dies she used to make flowers! See more details and photos here.
I spy the Rainbow Wheel Thinlits Die Set!
