A Truckload of Sizzix Chapter 4 Inspiration!

14 Oct

Did you see the big Chapter 4 die release October 1st? We had a FB Live Release Party and a Blog Hop! For more Sizzix Chapter 4 inspiration, this month we are taking a closer look at the projects shared during the Hop (as well as new projects from the designers). It’s an exciting group of dies for sure! Here’s what Eileen has to say about them,

“The Chapter 4 Sizzix Release is exciting for so many reasons – there are two never-done-before designs! One is the Full Size Journal which is a Bigz Pro size – you will need a machine with at least a 9″ throat to cut this die – like a Big Shot Plus or Pro. Not to worry, if you don’t have that machine, Eileen will have the pre-cut pieces available in her Etsy store for you to work with. The other new technology is a 3-D Embossing Folder! It’s called Sweater and is oh so cozy. Also new this release is a Bigz Notepad Die with lots of options for materials and uses, and a Heart Mandala Thinlits Die to decorate with!”

Begin inspiration now…

Julia Aston shares the tutorial for her super cute bug journal created using the new Full Size Journal Die. She has great tips for putting it together, making the closures and signatures too. Check out her blog post!

One of my favorites from Eileen’s new releases is the Sweater 3-D Embossing Folder. The level of detail you get is just incredible! Susie Bentz made these beautiful clean and simple holiday cards featuring the sweater embossing in the background. The trees are cut using Eileen’s Vintage Truck Die. I love the warm farmhouse feel of these and it would be easy to make multiples to send out for Christmas. See Susie’s tutorial to learn how!

Summer and Sizzix with Eileen Hull Dies

23 Jun

It’s that time of year – temps are rising and you may be feeling footloose and fancy free. This month here on the blog we’ve been getting inspired by summer and Sizzix dies from Eileen. There has been something for everyone from the garden to the beach and traveling all in between! Let’s wrap up June with more summery makes to get your creative juices flowing…

Jennie Atkinson used to spend summers at the seashore in Suffolk and has many happy memories of those times. She created this lovely little memory box using Eileen’s Treasure Box Die and you can find out how to make one of your own on Jennie’s blog.

If you are a gardener, you will love this next idea from Sue Eldred! She has made good use of recycled ‘trash’ and Eileen’s Journal XL Die to make plant ID labels for your flowers. What a creative idea and you could easily make a bunch as a gift for the gardeners in your life. Visit her blog to see how she made them.

Madeline Arendt is happy that we can start traveling again and made this super cute Journal to document her summer journeys. It’s the perfect take-along! Be sure to visit her blog for the instructions and to see the handy features she has built into the interior.

More summer and Sizzix projects to share…

Designer Elizabeth Robinson has her computer working again (hurray!!) and was finally able to share her summer and Sizzix projects with us. It was certainly worth the wait for these clever makes! Elizabeth used Eileen’s Camper Die to make a boat and then an ice cream van! Whaaat? So creative Elizabeth, bravo. Definitely pay a visit to her blog to find out how she used the die to build these darling projects.

Teacup & Post Box Projects from the Educator Team!

28 Oct

Well, here we find ourselves in the last week of October. Wow! It has been a month full of inspiring creations made using Eileen Hull’s newest Sizzix Dies. This week’s post will feature Teacup and Post Box projects from the Educator Team. As usual, we’ll see a wide range of styles and themes because Eileen’s dies are the perfect blank canvases to showcase your own brand of creativity.

What Eileen says about her two new dies:

I had so many requests for the teacup die (retired a couple of years ago) that I designed a new one for you – the Teacup, 3D & Spoon! What is different about it? This is a Bigz L die (which means a lower price point!), and features a spoon (new), teabag label (could be used as a teeny tiny book!) and insert piece.

Chapter 4 Eileen Hull/Sizzix Release Party Blog Hop

This XL ScoreBoards Post Box die was designed to work as a mini mailbox. The slot will allow a gift card/credit card to go through. It would be a fun way to decorate a gift card box for the holidays. And did I mention that assembling this die takes about 10 seconds? Seriously!

What Teacup & Post Box treats does the Educator Team have in store for us? Scroll on…

Designer Betsy Skagen used her own line of rubber stamps to artfully decorate her Christmas Wish Post Box project. I love the thought behind this wish box and the vintage styling gives you a warm nostalgic feeling. Betsy has more photos and a tutorial on her blog so be sure to check that out.

Educator Team member Sarah Lizzie also found festive inspiration for her Teacup and Post Box projects. She is sharing the tutorial for these makes that first made their appearance in the kick off Blog Hop Release Party at the beginning of the month. All the holiday touches really get you in the mood for Christmas!

Madeline Arendt really thought out of the box for her clever Christmas ornament designs. Can you see what she used for the bodies of her cute decorations? All is revealed in the tutorial on her blog, plus some other ideas for ornaments too.

Jennie Atkinson also did a some out of the box thinking for her latest project with the dies. She combined the two dies to make a perfect gift for a tea loving friend or family member – a sweet little box filled with teacup shaped coasters! Check out her blog for the tutorial and additional photos of this lovely make.
