Summer Inspiration with New Eileen Hull Products

It sure is hot here in Virginia! I hope you can find some summer inspiration with new Eileen Hull products (in your air-conditioned craft room)! Take a look at what the Inspiration Team has come up with this week.

The dies we are working with are the Sizzix House Ornament and Gift Card Folder and Label #2

Check with your local scrapbook store to see if they carry them.

Summer Inspiration by the Team

 

 

Pam Bray made this frosty Memories Gift Card Holder and Label Mini Album using the Gift Card and Label 2 die,  Clearsnap inks, Molten Dimensions embossing powders and Authentique papers. Why do I have a craving for hot chocolate?   http://www.pammejoscrapbookflair.com/2019/07/memories-gift-card-holder-and-label.html

Julia Aston made this exquisite Cottage by the Sea using the House Ornament die. A simple tear in the paper led her down a whole different path and I LOVE how this came out!

Julia was on a roll! She also made this thoughtful An Evening to Yourself Gift Card Folder, giving the gift of babysitting for the receiver. She added lots of cool techniques with Blends2, Molten Dimensions and the Pansy flower die.  I can’t wait to try them all!

 

This colorful Tutti-Frutti Business Card Holder was created by Tonya Trantham. I love how she used a piece of matboard to make a stand for the Gift Card Folder.

While we were at the beach, Susie Bentz made this fun Silly Walks Art Piece with the House Ornament die as the base. See how Susie constructed it- great tips!

Thanks so much for checking out the summer inspiration with new Eileen Hull products by the team- they are awesome!

New Sizzix Chapter 3 Eileen Hull Release

It’s time for the new Sizzix Chapter 3 Eileen Hull release! Today we are taking a look at the House Ornament- which is not just for the holidays by the way…

About the House Ornament

We moved around a lot when I was little and then I married a military man and moved some more. I love finding a house and adding special touches that make it our home. Home is comfort, stability and where everything starts. And ends, by the looks of my studio! Since this Chapter 3 release focuses on the holiday season, the idea of making a house as a Christmas ornament appealed to me. But of course, there are so many other ways to use it…

It is a ScoreBoards die, designed to cut and score thick material like matboard and chipboard. As you will see in the following projects, you can decorate this little house in numerous ways! You will need to cut two of the base pieces and trim off the floor of one of them. I adhere my house together with  Therm O Web Red Liner tape to make sure that it stays together. One of my favorite parts of the die are two teeny tiny house shaped tags that I can’t wait to make a little book from <3

Here is a recent Facebook Live show where I cut recycled cardboard and created a shabby beach house, embossing it with my new Emerald Creek Molten Dimensions embossing powders. I love how these turned out and want to make a whole set. I think they would be cute to hang in a little tree or maybe create a little vignette under glass and surround with sand. It’s fun to think of ways to use it! I know at the holidays it would be adorable with a battery tealight inside to set on a holiday table or maybe to give a special gift in. Stay tuned – I’m sure we will have lots of ideas for you!


And now for the Team’s samples…

Pam Bray made an adorable Mixed Media House Ornament and Tag Album. She decorated the house with her very own stamps by Blank Page Muse and Clearsnap Blends inks- so pretty!

Jenny Marples is ready for Christmas with her cozy brick House Ornament. Head over to her blog to see all the fun techniques she used to make it! I love how she decorated the roof using leaves from the Journaling Card- Flowers & Leaves die!

Tonya Trantham made a Beach Babe House! Check out all of the fun details like a life preserver, framed swimmer on a raft and her gorgeous signature flowers on her blog.

Julia Aston is sharing an out-of-this-world Adventure Awaits Notebook. You have to check out her post to see how she created all of the cool effects  she used in the making of this project. Wow!

Thanks so much for checking out the new Sizzix Chapter 3 Eileen Hull Release! The dies I ordered for my Etsy store have not yet arrived but the UPS man should be visiting today!

More New Eileen Hull Product Reveals

H everyone- today I’m happy to bring you more new Eileen Hull product reveals!

There are three new Therm O Web products that I can’t wait to share with you because I use these products all the time. That means I know that they work… and I wouldn’t steer you wrong! Last time we talked about the Easy Cut Adhesive which allows you to add paper, fabric, metal and other materials onto matboard so that when you die cut the two materials at the same time, it looks like they were printed on!

On May 16, I did a project on Facebook Live showing how to use the Therm O Web Foam Adhesive to make the cover of a Sizzix Notebook made from vintage sewing patterns. Watch that here. By the way, which tennis player looks most like me? 🙂 haha

Innovative Ideas from the Inspiration Team

Lisa Hoel created this adorable little robot card using Emerald Creek Molten Dimensions embossing powders to make him metallic! So cute- look at his little arms!

Elizabeth Robinson made this hand drawn Seahorse Notebook and pained on canvas with new Blends2 inks! Simply gorgeous and love those sea colors <3…

Karen Bearse had a play and made a Recycled Shopping Bag Notebook using the Sizzix Journal die. Make sure to check out her video tutorial loaded with tips and tricks! What a fun idea and who doesn’t have a ton of bags they have been saving…

Tonya Trantham bumped up the spine of the Notebook die and made a boho Wings and Things chunky Notebook Planner! The colors are luscious!

Here’s another fun project from Tonya- a Doilies and Flowers Drawer that shows off Tonya’s hand at making the most delicate flower arrangements <3

Susie Bentz gets creative with this Steampunk Mask using the new Blends2 inks and Molten Dimensions. Wow- that is so creative and so striking!

New Products from Eileen Hull!

Hi everyone- this is one of those fun days… I get to officially announce there are new products from Eileen Hull! My partners are Therm O Web and Emerald Creek Craft Supplies. My fabulous Inspiration Team is sharing how they like to use them in their projects

New Products from Eileen Hull

The first product line is with Therm O Web Adhesives. Because I work with heavy duty materials like matboard, leather, felt, metal and fabric, I need adhesives that are strong and work with thick materials.

I am happy to say that the 6″ x 12″ Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets are now available! When I want to cover a die cut book or box with paper, I put an adhesive sheet on the right side of the matboard, peel off the resist paper and add a piece of patterned paper. Then I run the project through the die cut machine with the right side facing the die. When the die cut shape comes out, the paper is fused to the board. This is strong stuff my friends! The other products are ^” x 12″ Foam Adhesive and 1/4″ Red Liner Tape. I will talk about those products in my next post!

I have a line of Molten Dimensions embossing powders with Emerald Creek Craft Supplies in six colors:

Goldenrod

Glistening Glass

White Wonder

Polished Silver

Black Magic

Aqua Splash

Team Projects

Lisa Hoel leads off with this gorgeous Molten Dimensions embossed Mother’s Day card! She used the Sizzix Credit Card Sleeve as a base and layered heat embossed flowers from the Journaling Cards, Flowers & Leaves and “love” from Journaling Words. Any mother would be happy to get this card <3

 

Here’s another project from Lisa! This was one of the most popular samples at Creativation this January. She created this amazing zipped Needle Book case using the Notebook die. See her thorough tutorial on how to make this unique project.

Maggi Harding made this Journal for a very special trip! See the clever ways she uses the new Therm O Web and Emerald Creek products in her post here.

Julia Aston is headed to the beach! She created a Basket of Shells using Aqua Splash Molten Dimensions on the Basket Die, and also used the Twist and Style tool and Bookplate Hinges and Label. Read about how she made  it here!

Bonus Projects

Tonya Trantham created this Sewing Box for her Mom for Mother’s Day. But this is no ordinary sewing box- it’s got DOUBLE the drawers! So smart! See how here. 

A round of applause for Tonya 🙂

And now for some sad news (for me anyway)… my Instagram account was hacked three weeks ago. I have been in mourning for the loss of the 3300 posts including photos of my family, Paper Trail trips in my vintage camper Scotty, classes, events, beautiful projects that people have created using my dies and also my almost 7600 followers that I had spent years growing. I would love if you would follow me on Instagram… click here. Thank you!

You can find the Notebook die here along with lots of others- new shipment arriving on Monday- stay tuned!
