More Teacup & Post Box Dies Projects!

21 Oct

Have you guys been enjoying all the creativity shown by the designers in their projects using Eileen Hull’s new Sizzix Dies? Well you are in luck, because we have more Teacup and Post Box Dies projects for you today! Covering a large range of themes and styles, the following makes are a treat for your eyes and you may even learn a new trick or two.

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!

Chapter 4 Eileen Hull/Sizzix Release Party Blog Hop

Let’s get on with the inspiration…

Jenny Marples has been busy in her studio! She used the Post Box Die to make a jeweled version using a number of mixed media tricks. I just love the colors and textures, plus the embossing powder and bling embellishments. She tells all in the tutorial on her blog so be sure to check it out.

Did you see Elizabeth Robinson’s lovely projects in the Release Party Blog Hop? This week she is sharing the tutorial for the sweet watercolor Tea Cup. What a great little container for a tasty gift to give. Head on over to her post to see all the details.

Tonya Trantham applied some clever Post Box Die hacks to her project and created a wonderful little desktop organizer. It just goes to show you how versatile Eileen Hull’s dies are! See how Tonya did it in her tutorial packed full of photos.

Perfectly seasonal, Anna-Karin Evaldsson’s autumnal Post Box has that full fall flavor. From the textures to the colors, it is just right! All the details and more photos can be found in her blog post.

Epic Christmas in July Post!

29 Jul

Is it really the end of July? We’ve been keeping cool all month with lots of fantastic makes using Eileen Hull’s newest Sizzix dies, the Snowman and Mitten Box. Today we’re going to wrap it up with an epic Christmas in July post full of festive projects!

Get comfy and grab a beverage…

because there are so many to share! First up we have Elizabeth Robinson’s clever creation using the Snowman Die – she used it to make a holder for her glasses! I love it! It’s a great landing spot for things that get easily mislaid. You could use something like this for your phone or car keys too. Elizabeth shares the details of her Snowman Die hack on her blog.

Tonya Trantham used the Snowman Die plus past Eileen dies to create a fabulous mini Christmas journal. Inside is full of flaps, tuck spots and all sorts of darling bits and bobs. You must head over to her blog post and see all the detail photos of the inside pages. You won’t be sorry!

Mixed media magic is once again offered up by Karen Bearse in her full tutorial on how to create this fun Mitten tag. It would be fabulous as a Christmas ornament or gift tag (especially for an owl lover!) Paint, ink, embossing, this tag has it all.

Last but not least Julia Aston has a cute cork fabric journal to share with us. In June we had a collaboration with Belagio to use their awesome cork fabric (check out the weekly June posts to see if you missed it). Julia used it to make a little snowman journal. Be sure to head on over to her blog to see the instructions and photos of the insides.

Beat the heat and build a snowman:

Designer Madeline Arendt used the Snowman Die to make a so so cute snowman garland! It would look wonderful on a fireplace mantel or stretched across a door way. Head on over to her blog to see more photos of the whole garland and her tips and tricks for making your own garland.

If you are a die hard holiday card maker (start now!) you will not want to miss this fabulous example from Kathy Clement. Using a Christmas paper collection from Authentique and the Mittens as a focal point, I think you will agree this card is a stunner that any loved one would be excited to receive and display! Kathy shows you how to make this unique card structure in a tutorial on her blog so don’t miss it.

15 Jul

Summertime Christmas inspiration continues here on Eileen Hull’s blog! In case you missed it, on July 1st Sizzix released two new dies designed by Eileen, the Snowman and Mitten Box Dies. We had a big party and a blog hop full of fabulous creations. Each week has showcased more new projects made with the dies and this week is no exception!

The Inspiration Team has been busy…

Pam Bray made a whole coordinated set of projects using the new dies. Last week we saw the frosty mitten gift card box and now she’s sharing the matching Tiny Book and Tiny Book Case set. They are so cute! There are lots of detail photos on Pam’s blog so don’t miss that.

These new dies are good for more than just 3-D projects! Susie Bentz used the snowmen cuts in a pair of CAS Christmas cards. I really like the clean look and how she added illustrative details to the snowmen. See her blog post for some fun techniques to get more use out of your dies.
