Top Drawer Challenge in September with Eileen Hull

26 Sep

This month the Inspiration Team is focusing on using Eileen’s Stacking Drawer Die in their creative projects. You can configure the draewr in all sorts of ways as well as using it on its own. (It also fits perfectly inside the Treasure Box.) Let’s wrap up our month of inspiration and see what the designers have for us this week.

Designer Lisa Hoel stacked up three drawers to make this little fall themed decoration. Think of all the nuts this squirrel could fit in the drawers ha ha. You can find out more about this whimsical make in Lisa’s blog post.

“What’s in the Box?” Treasure Box Die Wrap Up

29 Aug

“What’s in the Box?” has been our theme for August. All month we’ve focused on the versatile Treasure Box Die and the Inspiration Team has really knocked it out of the park! We’re wrapping it up this week with a final round of projects.

Lisa Hoel made a box to hold some of her vintage button hoard. I think you’ll agree this is better than having them get dusty in an open bowl on the shelf! She also used Eileen’s 3-D Vintage Buttons Embossing Folder to perfectly decorate the Treasure Box. Find the details in her post.

Tonya Trantham has created a beautiful shabby chic Treasure Box to inspire us. I like how she has the hinges on the “short” side of the box so it opens long ways. Clever! Find Tonya’s tutorial on her blog.
