It’s Box Bonanza Month with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies!

Hello September! A new month equals a new theme and this time around it’s Box Bonanza month. Eileen Hull has designed many different box dies over the years so we’re excited to see what the Inspiration Team designers are going to come up with.

This week we have a strong showing of projects created using Eileen’s newest box die, the Slotted Treat Box Die. (This is a Plus size die so you need a large format machine to use it.) First up is Karen Bearse. She used it to create a box to hold all the #ICAD cards she made for a recent challenge. It holds the 4″ x 6″ cards perfectly! Find all the details on Karen’s blog.

Pam Bray combined two dies to create this clever “Bed of Candy Box”. Can you guess which ones? There is the trusty Slotted Treat Box Die as well as the Card Caddy. So much fun! This would also make a great gift. Pay Pam’s blog a visit to find out how to make one for yourself.

Designer Sarah Lizzie created a darling gingerbread house using both the Gift Box with Scallop Edges and Slotted Treat Box Dies. Super cute! She plans on filling it with cookies during the Christmas season. What a delightful gift it would make. Find the tutorial on her blog.

Lisa Hoel created this treasure box project for the Chapter 3 release and is appropriately sharing the tutorial during Box Bonanza month. The Slotted Treat Box Die cut the structure and it’s decorated with panels embossed using Eileen’s Keys 3-D Embossing Folder. The tutorial is on Lisa’s blog.

Creative Recipe – Words, Tags & Pockets with Eileen Hull

The creative recipe for March has been a fun mix of words, tags and pockets! Designers have been whipping up a delectable spread of projects for your inspiration and the fun isn’t stopping yet. Let’s see what we have for this week…

Lisa Hoel decided to make tags as the background for a card. She die cut one using the Tile Alphanumeric Die and embossed others with some of Eileen’s 3-D Embossing Folders. So much texture! Find the details on her blog post.

Tags & Pockets – Use Your Words!

I’ve been using words like “Wow!” and “Fabulous!” in regards to the creative inspiration being shared by the designers. They’ve been making projects combining tags, pockets and words all month long. Use your words and show us what you’ve been coming up with! Let’s see what inspiring makes are in store for us this week…

Jenny Marples nailed the theme for March! This awesome combo of tags, pockets and words is going to be part of a larger project. (Can’t wait to see!) Pay her blog a visit to see all the details.

As one of the queens of shabby chic goodness, Tonya Trantham created a wonderful journal cover for her project. I love her interpretation of the ‘use your words’ theme. She has book pages layered in the background. Love it! See all the details in her post.

Elizabeth Robinson had some fun with the Library Pocket, ATC Card & Tabs Die Set making bits to include in future journal projects. She also used Eileen’s Making Plans Stamp Set for the words on the pockets. So lovely! See more details on Elizabeth’s blog.

The sentiments on cards are of course a great way to ‘use your words’. Designer Sue Eldred made some beautiful cards to share with us. It’s good to have a ready to go card stash! I really like how she used the Tablecloth 3-D Embossing Folder in the background. There are many more cards to see on Sue’s blog so go check them out.
