Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies & Creativation 2020 Wrap Up

24 Jan

Creativation 2020 was full of inspiration, camaraderie, make and takes, new products, classes, lots of walking and of course lots of crafty goodness! Eileen did several make and takes in the Sizzix booth showcasing her new dies from Sizzix! If you are a member of the Eileen Hull Facebook Fan Club, I hope you caught some of the lives from the show. After getting home, she had a day to recoup and then she jetted off to…

…Germany for Creativeworld, a huge trade show for the craft and DIY markets. Be sure to have notifications checked for Eileen Hull Designs on Facebook and follow her on Instagram because she will be sharing all the exciting things happening at the show. The show sounds amazing and the excitement just keeps going!

The Inspiration Team has more to share!

Eileen’s Inspiration Team has closer looks at the samples that they created for the shows. First up is Julia Aston with a darling magnetic board she made using the new Display Stand Die.

What a fun project for kids or to brighten any desk! Check out her blog post for a tutorial so you can make your own.

Susie Bentz also used the Display Stand Die to create this utterly practical but very cute dry erase sign to use at craft shows! The panel is cut from vinyl so the dry erase marker messages will wipe right off. Visit her blog to see all the details.

The second of Eileen’s new Chapter 1 Dies is the Gift Box with Scallop Edges. Our next two designers have created very different but equally fabulous projects using this die.

Anna-Karin Evaldsson used it to make a beautiful forest themed photo block. I love the green colors. It makes me feel peaceful just to sit and look at it. Visit her blog to see the tutorial for how this came together.

Eileen Hull’s New Chapter 1 Dies!

8 Jan

Welcome back! Eileen Hull’s new Sizzix Chapter 1 dies have made their debut and the Inspiration Team is still busy making hordes of samples for the Creativation AFCI show! Today we have projects from three team members for your viewing enjoyment.

First up we have this fun trio of winter themed boxes from Susie Bentz! She used the new Gift Box w/ Scallop Die to make these cute cubes sure to please any snow sport lover. The Gift Box die can let you easily whip up these boxes which can be used for packaging gifts (doh!) but also decor and a multitude of other things.

Next we have Pam Bray with this beautiful desk organizer made with Eileen’s second new Chapter 1 die, the Display Stand. Another extremely versatile die, the Display Stand can be used for all sorts of projects! Read on to see another clever idea…

Julia Aston used the Display Stand to create this darling photo stand! The kitty figurines are the perfect touch. The Display Stands can fold flat for mailing (although perhaps not with kitties fixed onto it lol). Super cute make Julia!

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.

It’s December! (Seriously? How did that happen?) At any rate, Eileen Hull’s Inspiration Team is still hard at work sharing the festive magic of the season to inspire us all! (and take a look at this beautiful photo Eileen took! I am compelled to include it in this post.)

You will not want to miss her post which is full of technique tips and a video flip through of her progress so far. I for one can’t wait to see what she’ll be up to next with this project.

Pam Bray has done a favorite projects round up from the whole year! See her post for an overload of inspiration spread throughout the seasons. I am loving it (and this unicorn project made with the Stacking Drawer Die)!
