Sizzix Project Tutorials with Eileen Hull’s Chapter 1 Dies!

We are wrapping up a month of Sizzix project tutorials highlighting the designers’ fabulous makes from the Chapter 1 Release Party. We hope you’ve been inspired and are having your own creative fun with Eileen’s new dies. Here’s Eileen’s recap of them in case you’re out of the loop:

“Introducing the Chapter 1, 2023 Eileen Hull/Sizzix collection!

Let’s start with the ScoreBoards Frame Pocket Journal – this is a Bigz Plus die so you will need a 9” cutting machine. The Journal measures 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” x 1 1/4” with an adjustable spine. What makes this die special are the additional pieces on the die, a pocket to hold ephemera, a frame and flap! These extra pieces may be used in many of my other journals or they can be used independently. The die may also be configured in a few different ways so watch the blog and Facebook live shows for ideas.

There are two Thinlits sets that coordinate with the Journal. You asked for a new alphabet – you got it – and I added numbers too! The Tile Alphanumeric is very versatile because you can use both the positive and negative shapes. Each letter is perforated which makes it easy to create and line up words.

The other Thinlits set is the Library Pocket, ATC Card and Tab Die Set – a journal essential! Use the ATC card die to knock out a bunch of Artist Trading Card bases and add the library pocket to package it up to swap. The Tab die is perfect to add to the Journal pages or on the ATC.

and a NEW 3-D Embossing Folder!

The last item is a 3D embossing folder called Tablecloth which was inspired by a crocheted cotton piece from my Mom. This adds beautiful texture and dimension to card backgrounds, book pages or tags!”

The new dies:

Chapter 1 Sizzix Project Tutorials…

Designer Lisa Hoel has two posts for us this week detailing her Forest Junk Journal and mixed media card. The Frame Pocket Journal is another great addition to Eileen’s journal die collection and can be configured in different ways. This one is packed full of nature goodness!

Eileen’s dies are perfect for card making too!

When she needed a quick thank you card, Maggi Harding turned to the Tile Alphanumeric and Library Pocket, ATC Card & Tabs Dies. With the addition of gorgeous patterned paper, she turned out a beautiful creation in no time flat. Find the details in her post!

Madeline Arendt configured her Frame Pocket Journal in an unusual and creative way. What did she do inside of it? You will have to pay her blog a visit to find out! I think you will be inspired by her out of the box thinking.

Get out your sewing machine! Elizabeth Robinson created a stunning fabric journal and you’ll be inspired to get stitching I’m betting. She cut all the base parts out of heavy canvas and the Frame Pocket Journal die cut through with ease. Find the details on her blog.

Wow! Jenny Marples really thought outside of the box so to speak and used the Frame Pocket Journal Die to create an accordion folder to hold ephemera and those extra bits. Plus it’s beautiful to boot! Painty panels embossed using the Tablecloth 3-D Embossing Folder decorate the outside. Visit Jenny’s blog for instructions.

Sizzix Surfacez Cork Roll + Eileen Hull Dies

Sizzix has a magical material in their Surfacez line, Cork Roll! It can be die cut, stamped, embossed and used in all sorts of interesting ways. As a collaboration, Sizzix sent some to several of the designers on Eileen’s Teams for us to put it through its paces. Get comfy and enjoy this recap of all the inspiration…

Sparkle & Shine Inspiration Wrap Up

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you here in the U.S. We’ve had a month full of Sparkle & Shine inspiration and it’s time to wrap it up with a final look at projects from the designers. We hope you’ve been getting lots of ideas for getting your glam on!

First up is Lisa Hoel with 2023 desk calendar made using Eileen’s Display Stand Die. Eileen has also designed a calendar that fits perfectly onto this stand and you can purchase the printable in her etsy shop. Lisa covered her stand with the new Sizzix Surfacez Cork Roll and added some great foil shine. See the tutorial on her blog for info!

Designer Tonya Trantham created a glitzy gift bag with a fabulous felt poinsettia embellishment using the Sunflower Die. I love it! You could turn the poinsettia into an ornament or use it to decorate pretty much anything for a festive look. Find the instructions on Tonya’s blog.

Tonya didn’t stop at this gift bag. She went on to create another glamorous gift container using the Geometric Box Die (and another cool flower made from Sunflower Die parts). Stylish gift giving indeed! Check out the details in her blog post.

and a bonus Surfacez Cork Roll project…

If you’ve been following Eileen’s blog this month, you saw that we’ve also been doing a collaboration with Sizzix to create projects using their Cork Roll material. Here’s another one from designer Sue Eldred. I love the tactile rustic touch the cork gives these cute gift tags. The snowflake is from Eileen’s Wreath & Snowflake Die Set. Find all the details on Sue’s blog!
