2023 – Chapter 1 Release with Sizzix & Eileen Hull

3 Jan

2023 Chapter 1 Release! Eileen Hull dies with Sizzix.

Welcome to 2023 and the Sizzix Chapter 1 Release Party of Eileen Hull’s newest dies. We are celebrating with a Live party and this Blog Hop! Eileen’s Teams have been hard at work creating with Eileen’s new products and have quite a lineup of inspiration for you. Here is what Eileen has to say,

“Introducing the Chapter 1, 2023 Eileen Hull/Sizzix collection!

Let’s start with the ScoreBoards Frame Pocket Journal – this is a Bigz Plus die so you will need a 9” cutting machine. The Journal measures 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” x 1 1/4” with an adjustable spine. What makes this die special are the additional pieces on the die, a pocket to hold ephemera, a frame and flap! These extra pieces may be used in many of my other journals or they can be used independently. The die may also be configured in a few different ways so watch the blog and Facebook live shows for ideas.

There are two Thinlits sets that coordinate with the Journal. You asked for a new alphabet – you got it – and I added numbers too! The Tile Alphanumeric is very versatile because you can use both the positive and negative shapes. Each letter is perforated which makes it easy to create and line up words.

The other Thinlits set is the Library Pocket, ATC Card and Tab Die Set – a journal essential! Use the ATC card die to knock out a bunch of Artist Trading Card bases and add the library pocket to package it up to swap. The Tab die is perfect to add to the Journal pages or on the ATC.

and a NEW 3-D Embossing Folder!

The last item is a 3D embossing folder called Tablecloth which was inspired by a crocheted cotton piece from my Mom. This adds beautiful texture and dimension to card backgrounds, book pages or tags!”

The new dies:

The team has been busy creating lots of samples so please make sure to read the blog and be watching social media to see their makes! There will also be prizes! Comment in the chat during the Release Party video and answer this question, “What would you create with these dies?” Be specific – inquiring minds want to know!

Sizzix Surfacez Cork Roll + Eileen Hull Dies

30 Nov

Sizzix has a magical material in their Surfacez line, Cork Roll! It can be die cut, stamped, embossed and used in all sorts of interesting ways. As a collaboration, Sizzix sent some to several of the designers on Eileen’s Teams for us to put it through its paces. Get comfy and enjoy this recap of all the inspiration…

Did I also mention that you can sew the Surfacez Cork Roll? Check out this cute little pouch Eileen Hull made using her Tiny Book Case Die and sewing up the sides. Hmmm… I wonder if a gift card could fit in there?

Jennie Atkinson made a fabulous traveler’s journal with the Cork Roll with stamping and stitching. Awesome! Find the tutorial and more details on her blog.
