What’s New in 2020 with Eileen Hull!

1 Jan

Well, it’s a new decade for one thing! Welcome to 2020! For another thing, Eileen Hull has NEW DIES that will debut at Creativation in a few weeks! Ch. 2 is top secret but we can share Ch. 1 projects with you now. The Inspiration Team is hard at work creating wonderful, fabulous samples using Eileen’s new die designs.

Prepare to have your socks knocked off!

The first die we’re going to look at is the Scoreboards Display Stand. This is a highly versatile die that can fold flat for transport and mailing. The possibilities are endless and wait until you see all the ideas the Team is coming up with for its use! First let’s look at a few makes from Jenny Marples.

Tired of propping up your phone on the nearest coffee mug when you want to watch a video? The Display Stand can remedy that! Look at this fabulous phone stand Jenny created with the die:

Jenny also used the same Display Stand die to create a holder for a beautiful necklace. Can you imagine giving jewelry as a gift with a stand like this? It’s double the wow factor. Check out Jenny’s blog post featuring both of these amazing projects.

Karen Bearse has created a wonderful snow themed stand glistening with winter magic. Imagine propping up a favorite season appropriate photograph on it or Christmas cards. Such fun! Be sure to visit Karen’s blog post and find out all her tips and tricks for constructing it.

The second of Eileen Hull’s Ch. 1 release dies is the Gift Box with Scallop Edges. (But really, does it only have to be a gift box? I think not!) Again, it is another versatile die with many uses! Julia Aston created a darling party decor kit for a child’s birthday. Love the circus theme!! Check out her blog post to see how she did it and where she found the cute graphics.

Christmas is Just About Here…

18 Dec

Is it time to panic? I must admit I’m feeling a bit rushed with all the “to do” on my to do list. And there are still Christmas crafting projects I have in my head that I want to make. At least the web is full of crafty inspiration for us, even if we can’t find all the craft time we need for ourselves. (Crafting vicariously? Is that a thing?) It just so happens that we have a load of inspiration right here, right now…

Cue the super awesome Inspiration Team and their crafty goodness!

First we have a delightful December Daily Journal from Tonya Trantham. I love that snowman couple with the retro flair! Check out Tonya’s blog post where she gets real about her daily December life. Plus there is pom-pom trim. You want to see it – seriously.

Secondly, Jenny Marples has created a fabulously marvelous felt embroidered journal. Wow! Head on over to her blog post to read all about the story behind this gorgeous creation.

Anna-Karin Evaldsson did a favorite Eileen Hull projects of 2019 round up for our viewing enjoyment. You will ohh and ah over all her fabulous projects (five of them). My personal favorite is this birch trees journal but the embossed cover notebooks is a close second.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the week! Try to take some time to breathe and get creative. Be sure to share your holiday crafting with us in the Fan Club group. We want to see what you are up to.

Happy Thanksgiving & Holiday Inspiration

27 Nov

Hello Friends! Happy Thanksgiving to those of you here in the USA and for our other fans who aren’t here, you really don’t need an excuse to eat some pie do you? 😉 Today we have some holiday inspiration to share from Maggi Harding and Tonya Trantham! They put some interesting twists on the dies they used. Check it out…

Think outside of the box when using your dies:

First up we have Maggi’s darling Trinket Box with a shaker box in the top! What a clever and festive touch. Inside she filled the box with easy to make gift tags. Wouldn’t this be a wonderful hostess gift for the season?

Be sure to check out her video tutorial on her blog! Here are the tags that are inside the box:

Next up is Tonya Trantham’s mini journal made with… the sleeve from the Stacking Drawer Die! Now that is really thinking outside of the box (or drawer in this case lol). Be sure to peruse her blog post for oodles of photos and instructions.

There are three signatures inside with tons of details, pockets and tuck spots. Isn’t it cute?

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Inspiration for the holidays next week too!
