Creative Recipe – Words, Tags & Pockets with Eileen Hull

23 Mar

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.

Designer Maggi Harding has a few projects to share. She’s been a busy bee for sure! First, she made a whole slew of ATCs with matching pockets using the Library Pocket, ATC Card & Tabs Die Set. (See them all in her blog post.)

Tags & Pockets – Use Your Words!

15 Mar

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.

Sparkle & Shine Inspiration Wrap Up

24 Nov

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you here in the U.S. We’ve had a month full of Sparkle & Shine inspiration and it’s time to wrap it up with a final look at projects from the designers. We hope you’ve been getting lots of ideas for getting your glam on!

First up is Lisa Hoel with 2023 desk calendar made using Eileen’s Display Stand Die. Eileen has also designed a calendar that fits perfectly onto this stand and you can purchase the printable in her etsy shop. Lisa covered her stand with the new Sizzix Surfacez Cork Roll and added some great foil shine. See the tutorial on her blog for info!

Designer Tonya Trantham created a glitzy gift bag with a fabulous felt poinsettia embellishment using the Sunflower Die. I love it! You could turn the poinsettia into an ornament or use it to decorate pretty much anything for a festive look. Find the instructions on Tonya’s blog.

Tonya didn’t stop at this gift bag. She went on to create another glamorous gift container using the Geometric Box Die (and another cool flower made from Sunflower Die parts). Stylish gift giving indeed! Check out the details in her blog post.

and a bonus Surfacez Cork Roll project…

If you’ve been following Eileen’s blog this month, you saw that we’ve also been doing a collaboration with Sizzix to create projects using their Cork Roll material. Here’s another one from designer Sue Eldred. I love the tactile rustic touch the cork gives these cute gift tags. The snowflake is from Eileen’s Wreath & Snowflake Die Set. Find all the details on Sue’s blog!

Now on to the festive Sparkle & shine inspiration…

Jenny Marples cleverly used the Geometric Box Die to create a mini triangular accordion bound book. What?? Such a great ‘out of the box’ idea for using this die! Jenny decorated the little book with glimmery and glittery elements for that perfect touch of sparkle and shine. Find out how to make one yourself on her blog.

Designer Tonya Trantham has a glitzy fall decor piece to share. She used the Geometric Box Die also to create a pumpkin box. I love the gold foil polka dots on the paper and that rhinestone button flower center. Festive sparkle & shine indeed! Head on over to Tonya’s blog to see all the details.

Elizabeth Robinson is rocking the foiled paper as well with her Geometric Box make! It adds such a lovely bit of shine. That gold flower on the front (made with the Sunflower Die) is fab! Her glam box fits right in with her holiday decor and hides a scent diffuser. See more on her blog.

More Sparkle & Shine Project Inspiration!

Did you see last week’s post debuting our November theme of Sparkle & Shine? We are continuing the Sparkle & Shine project inspiration with more glam and festive makes to get your creative juices flowing! Let’s take a look…

Jennie Atkinson created an elegant and glittery Christmas card to share with us. She embossed the background with Eileen’s Crochet Mandala 3D folder and added details cut from gold glittery paper (Wreath & Snowflake Die Set). So pretty! Find the details on her blog.

Susie Bentz amped up the glam in her holiday favor box make. For more Sparkle & Shine project inspiration, she used one side of a Geometric Box cut to make the base and covered it with a Deco Foil collage. What great party favors these are! See all the instructions on Susie’s blog.

Taking advantage of the glimmery, sparkly goodness of Seasonal Distress products, Lisa Hoel created these Christmas treat boxes using the full Geometric Box Die. Tiny bottle brush trees and paper houses decorate the lids that lift off to reveal the treats inside. Find Lisa’s tutorial in her blog post!

Chapter 3 Inspiration from Eileen Hull’s Team

10 Aug

Chapter 3 Inspiration abounded during Eileen Hull’s Release Party! Did you miss it? Go to this link to watch the Party replay! For the rest of the month the designers will be sharing tutorials for their amazing projects. Here is what Eileen has to say about her new dies,

“I am so excited to share my Chapter 3 Sizzix die collection! Each piece in the set stands alone but also coordinates with the others to make a truly versatile and valuable addition to your collection.

The ScoreBoards Skinny Mini Book Box is a really great size – it measures 6 3/4″ x 4″ with an adjustable built in spine from 3/8″ to 2 1/4″. This die may be used to create a book by die cutting two covers OR a box if you add the side pieces to the covers. If you add the box supports, it will hold mini-slimline size cards.

The Skinny Mini Elements Thinlits will cut a cool star pattern that perfectly covers the front of the Skinny Mini book or the front of a slimline card. And you can also expand the size of the design to create a whole page pattern.

I have been wanting to make a Card Caddy Die for a while… so many people are making cards these days that I figured that they would love to have the ability to make a really pretty container to hold them. I love the shape of this box and it goes together so quickly – also fun to decorate! It will hold cards up to 5 1/4″ wide.

The 3D folder is called Woven Leather and it looks so realistic! Makes a great background for cards, journal pages or covers.“

If you missed the Blog Hop, here is the post where you can find all the links.

It's Eileen Hull's Chapter 3 Release Party with her newest Sizzix dies! — So many possibilities!

Now for the Chapter 3 inspiration!

Jennie Atkinson created a beautiful shabby chic vintage looking booklet to fit inside of the Skinny Mini Book Box. So inspiring! Jennie has a tutorial video on her blog so go take a look and learn all her secrets. 😉

Eileen’s dies are perfect for card making and other “2-D” applications like scrapbook pages! Designer Susie Bentz created a dreamy layout using a photo from her wedding day and the Skinny Mini Elements Die (as well as the Heart Mandala Die). The handy thing about the Elements Die is that you can repeat your cuts to make as big a piece as you like. Susie shows how in her tutorial.

Bona Rivera-Tran is a prolific creator of fabulous makes and often utilizes Eileen’s dies. She recently created two Chapter 3 projects for the release. Here’s a peek and you can find all her inspiration on her Instagram account.
