Chapter 4 Sizzix Dies by Eileen Hull Released!

1 Oct

Let’s Party!

The Chapter 4 Sizzix Release is exciting for so many reasons – there are two never-done-before designs! One is the Full Size Journal which is a Bigz Pro size – you will need a machine with at least a 9″ throat to cut this die – like a Big Shot Plus or Pro. Not to worry, if you don’t have that machine, Eileen will have the pre-cut pieces available in her Etsy store for you to work with. The other new technology is a 3-D Embossing Folder! It’s called Sweater and is oh so cozy. Also new this release is a Bigz Notepad Die with lots of options for materials and uses, and a Heart Mandala Thinlits Die to decorate with!

Nature Inspiration on the First Day of Fall

22 Sep

Can you believe that we are already nearing the end of September? It’s been a lovely month so far (fall is my favorite season!) The Teams have been sharing nature journals the past few weeks and the nature inspiration has been off the charts! Have you been playing along and sharing in the Fan Club? We are wrapping up our September theme this week with fab makes from the Educator Team!

Get comfy…

Jennie Atkinson is leading us off with a lovely garden book utilizing the Teacup & Spoon Die to make an interesting cover on her folded wallet journal. Jennie was inspired by pink roses she has growing in her garden and they are reflected in the sweet little journal she made. Head on over to her blog to see all the interactive bits to be found inside!

Designer Sarah Lizzie also created a diminutive little book – a pocket nature journal! I love its small size. She used the Gift Card Folder & Label Die for the structure. The little journal tucks right into the folder box. It’s so pretty and shabby chic. You can find all the details and instructions on her blog so don’t miss it.

Madeline Arendt’s nature inspiration came from the four seasons and the wonderfully organic looking handmade papers she chose for her journal. She used a combination of Eileen’s different journals dies for the cover and pages and included many wonderful details. You can find out all about it and the tutorial on Madeline’s blog!

Inspired by Nature – Journals Made with Sizzix Dies

15 Sep

September is Nature Journal month here on Eileen Hull’s blog! Her designers have been inspired by nature and are creating really lovely projects for your inspiration. Have you been playing along too and sharing your makes in the Eileen Hull Fan Club? (If not, you should!) We have another full post of creations from the Inspiration Team to share so let’s take a look…

Elizabeth Robinson used an unlikely die, the Gift Box with Scallops, to create her delightfully chunky gardeners’ journal. Pay her blog a visit to see how she “hacked” the Gift Box die to turn it into a journal and to see all the details.

Are you ready for a stunner? Check out this gorgeous journal made by Jenny Marples! Wow, is all I can say. The bird images are from wallpaper samples (want) and this little Pocket Notebook junk journal is FULL of flips, pockets, tags, nooks, crannies and goodness at every turn. You will not want to miss the full rundown and a closer look in Jenny’s blog post.

Designer Anna-Karin Evaldsson created a beautiful little nature sketchbook with a box to take with her on her walks in the woods. She is indeed inspired by nature! The carry box is made using Eileen’s Folio Journal Die. Such lovely earthy details in classic Anna-Karin style. See how she did it in the tutorial on her blog.

Nature Journals Made with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

8 Sep

Hello, we are back with more nature journals made using Eileen’s ever versatile Sizzix Dies. In addition, the Teams were challenged to use dies that aren’t normally thought of as “journal” dies. They have been getting really creative! Let’s take a look at what we have to inspire you this week…

Julia Aston used the Gift Card Folder Die to make a holder for a diminutive nature junk journal. What a clever idea! The die is made for holding gift cards but I think it’s also perfect to hold a mini book. Julia also used some of Eileen’s new rubber stamps (Vintage Damask Stamp) in the decoration of the box. Check out her blog for all the how-to and detail photos.

Designer Lisa Hoel is back with Part 2 of her Treasure Box nature journal ensemble. (See Part 1 here.) Last week she showed how the box was constructed and this week we get a look at the mini journal that fits into the lid. She used #allthestamps for the interior pages! See all the details in her blog post.

Maggi Harding used the Folio Journal Die for her project. “But wait,” you say, “that’s an ‘official’ journal die.” But I say that Maggi has a clever die hack to share with you on how to make it into a tag journal. Stay tuned for her Facebook Live! In the meantime, head on over to her blog to peruse all the lovely detail photos of the insides.

Journals Inspired by Nature

2 Sep

Welcome to September! As you know, a new month means a new theme here on the blog. This month we are taking a look at journals inspired by nature! Additionally, the Teams have been challenged to use dies that aren’t normally considered “journal dies”. Let’s see what inspiration they have for us this week!

First up we have Karen Bearse with her fabulous winter themed nature journal. She used the Mitten Die to create a gate fold cover that perfectly matches the theme of the mini album. The whole album is full of delightful details and mixed media goodness. Be sure to head on over to Karen’s blog post and see all the step out photos for this make!

Designer Pam Bray created a sweet nature themed desk set using the popular Vintage Truck Die. Flowers and butterflies combine to create a lovely shabby chic look! Pam also stocked her desk set with a matching notebook and other office supplies. What a cute addition to your office decor. Details can be found on Pam’s blog!

Lastly for this week is Lisa Hoel’s nature specimens box, Part 1. She created the main structure with the Treasure Box and Stacking Drawer Dies. Shabby chic nature is on display! A little mini journal inspired by nature resides inside the lid (to be revealed in Part 2!) Check out Lisa’s blog for details.
