Happy autumn everyone! This month here on the blog we are celebrating fall themed projects made with Eileen Hull’s versatile Sizzix dies. We’ve seen some inspirational makes over the past few weeks and there are more for you this week too. Scroll on…

Eileen Hull herself is getting in on the fall theme with this gorgeous decoupaged Pocket Notebook journal. She documented the creation of it over the course of three different making sessions. For Part 1 of the decoupage journal project, watch the free class Eileen just taught at Fave Crafts. Part 2 and Part 3 are viewable on her YouTube channel. Check it out!

Designer Tonya Trantham made a pretty slimline fall themed card. The base is cut using the Journal Die and she decorated it with flowers cut using the Floral Silhouettes Die Set found only at Scrapbook.com. This style of card is a great way to use up scraps of patterned paper! Find all the details in Tonya’s blog post.

Bonus Fall Themed project from Sue Eldred…

She made this colorful and bold sunflower door hanger using Eileen’s Sunflower Die. As Sue says, it’s the perfect die for making large paper cut flowers! Pay her blog a visit for the how-to.
