What’s New in 2020 with Eileen Hull!

1 Jan

Well, it’s a new decade for one thing! Welcome to 2020! For another thing, Eileen Hull has NEW DIES that will debut at Creativation in a few weeks! Ch. 2 is top secret but we can share Ch. 1 projects with you now. The Inspiration Team is hard at work creating wonderful, fabulous samples using Eileen’s new die designs.

Prepare to have your socks knocked off!

The first die we’re going to look at is the Scoreboards Display Stand. This is a highly versatile die that can fold flat for transport and mailing. The possibilities are endless and wait until you see all the ideas the Team is coming up with for its use! First let’s look at a few makes from Jenny Marples.

Tired of propping up your phone on the nearest coffee mug when you want to watch a video? The Display Stand can remedy that! Look at this fabulous phone stand Jenny created with the die:

Jenny also used the same Display Stand die to create a holder for a beautiful necklace. Can you imagine giving jewelry as a gift with a stand like this? It’s double the wow factor. Check out Jenny’s blog post featuring both of these amazing projects.

Karen Bearse has created a wonderful snow themed stand glistening with winter magic. Imagine propping up a favorite season appropriate photograph on it or Christmas cards. Such fun! Be sure to visit Karen’s blog post and find out all her tips and tricks for constructing it.

The second of Eileen Hull’s Ch. 1 release dies is the Gift Box with Scallop Edges. (But really, does it only have to be a gift box? I think not!) Again, it is another versatile die with many uses! Julia Aston created a darling party decor kit for a child’s birthday. Love the circus theme!! Check out her blog post to see how she did it and where she found the cute graphics.

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.

Visit us next week too for some Christmas Eve inspiration…

Check back here next Wednesday to see more Inspiration Team inspiration! 😉 The team will be sharing more Christmas makes or roundups of some of their favorite projects from 2019!

Check out Eileen’s latest Facebook Live video. She showed us how to make a journal tag organizer:

Fall Garden Journal

1 Oct

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. Well I’m a day late and a dollar short but gosh golly I am taking over Eileen’s blog! I figure she is still jet lagged from her UK Paper Trails trip so she won’t notice me sneaking around over here. 😉 I created a fall garden journal using a ton of Eileen’s different dies and also her Molten Dimensions Embossing Powders.

How to Make it!

The Journal Die (biggest one) serves as the main cover. Then when you open it…

Inside I used the Notebook Die as well as the Giftcard Folder & Label 2 Die. (Save the seeds from your annuals!!)

You can see more photos and some tutorial tips over on my Garden Journal blog post. Check it out! Also, stay tuned for the BLOG HOP PARTY coming this Thursday on the 3rd! We are going to celebrate the official release of Eileen’s new Pocket Notebook die! The journal die family is growing, sniff sniff. It’s so sweet…

Thanks for taking a peek at my Fall Garden Journal!
