Our theme this month is “Alphabet Soup”. We’re still focusing on Eileen’s new Sizzix release but with a special emphasis on the Nora Alphabet and Numbers Die Sets. Let’s see what project inspiration the Team has to share with us!
Jenny Marples made a Garden Gate Ephemera Pocket stuffed full of fabulousness! She used the new Ephemera Pocket & Tags Die Set too plus past Eileen sets to create all the wonderful bits filling the pocket. Take a closer look in the video below…
We’re coming up on a special 4th of July for us here in America! Tonya Trantham crafted this delightful and patriotic decoration to celebrate. I see the Stitched Hearts and Ephemera Pocket & Tags Die Sets making an appearance too. You can find the tutorial here.
Elizabeth Robinson made this album last month and it’s perfect to share for our June theme as well! I love how she used the Nora Numbers as masks on the tag pocket. Clever!
News from Eileen…
Hi everyone – I’m back! It’s been a week since my hysterectomy and I am feeling almost back to normal. But don’t worry, I’m not going crazy doing too much. I have to say it was not as bad as I had expected, and I am very relieved it is done! If you want to hear what to expect the day after surgery, you can watch my video from last week here.
During the past week, I have been playing with the new dies. I found another really fun way to use the Ephemera Pocket & Tags. Join me this afternoon to see how to make Trifold Ephemera Pockets – they work great with 6″ x 6″ paper pads! I hope you will get yours out and craft along with me 🙂
Two weeks ago, we used the same die to make a book which you can watch here.
If you haven’t seen the new collection yet, here’s a little info about it.
The new 2026 release from Sizzix designer Eileen Hull is filled with vintage charm, florals, and creative possibilities for makers of all kinds. This exciting collection features seven new products, including the return of the beloved Garden Gate Album die by popular demand, five new Thinlits die sets, and a beautiful new embossing folder inspired by watercolor florals. Designed for journaling, cardmaking, mixed media, and dimensional projects, the collection blends Eileen’s signature style of storytelling, texture, and interactive design with endless opportunities for customization and creativity.
