2024 October Release – New Eileen Hull Sizzix Collection

22 Oct

Welcome to the 2024 October Sizzix Release Party of Eileen Hull’s newest collection! We are celebrating with a Live party and Hop on Instagram! Eileen’s designers have been hard at work creating with Eileen’s great new dies and have loads of inspiration for you.

Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:

This Eileen Hull Sizzix release was designed with journaling in mind! If you have never journaled before, this collection of seven products is a great place to start! In it, you will find everything that you need to get going. If you have been journaling for a while, you will want to add these items to your stash – the pieces are very versatile and will coordinate with many of the other dies you may already have.

The base die is the 5” x 5” x 1” Mini-Album, a Scoreboard die specially designed to cut and score thick material AND it cuts in one pass- so easy and quick! You can also use this die to cut the pages that go inside. There are three accessory Thinlits dies: Floral Pocket and Paperclips, Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers and Charms that cut pockets, bookmarks, embellishments, paper clips, charms and extras that may be used to decorate the pages of the book.

There is a stamp set called Fan Favorites with 61 words and phrases to use inside the book, on cards, and tags! Plate and Pattern is a four layer stencil- each layer may be used separately or all together. Create page backgrounds, use on your gel plate, outline and stitch the design on fabric or to trace shapes and fill in with watercolor. The Floral Damask multi-level 3D embossing folder creates a beautiful background useful for journal pages, cards and tags!

The new collection:

“What’s in the Box?” Treasure Box Die Wrap Up

29 Aug

“What’s in the Box?” has been our theme for August. All month we’ve focused on the versatile Treasure Box Die and the Inspiration Team has really knocked it out of the park! We’re wrapping it up this week with a final round of projects.

Lisa Hoel made a box to hold some of her vintage button hoard. I think you’ll agree this is better than having them get dusty in an open bowl on the shelf! She also used Eileen’s 3-D Vintage Buttons Embossing Folder to perfectly decorate the Treasure Box. Find the details in her post.
