New Ideas from the Eileen Hull Inspiration Team

24 Jun

Hi everyone- hope you are all enjoying the summer so far! I’m excited to share more new ideas from the Eileen Hull Inspiration Team using the new Therm O Web and Emerald Creek Craft Supplies products.

I am back to show you the last new product from Therm O Web– Red Liner Tape!

I use this tape on all of my heavy duty Scoreboards three dimensional projects. The matboard seems to have a mind of its own. Unless I completely break down the fibers by bending over at 180 degrees, the board will resist and try to spring open. I have found the Red Liner Tape is able to withstand the pressure, hold strong and keep the project held together. Of course you can use it for other applications as well. But when I need a firm hold, I pull out the big guns (see above) 🙂 [Read more…]

More New Eileen Hull Product Reveals

12 Jun

H everyone- today I’m happy to bring you more new Eileen Hull product reveals!

There are three new Therm O Web products that I can’t wait to share with you because I use these products all the time. That means I know that they work… and I wouldn’t steer you wrong! Last time we talked about the Easy Cut Adhesive which allows you to add paper, fabric, metal and other materials onto matboard so that when you die cut the two materials at the same time, it looks like they were printed on!

On May 16, I did a project on Facebook Live showing how to use the Therm O Web Foam Adhesive to make the cover of a Sizzix Notebook made from vintage sewing patterns. Watch that here. By the way, which tennis player looks most like me? 🙂 haha

Innovative Ideas from the Inspiration Team

Lisa Hoel created this adorable little robot card using Emerald Creek Molten Dimensions embossing powders to make him metallic! So cute- look at his little arms!

Elizabeth Robinson made this hand drawn Seahorse Notebook and pained on canvas with new Blends2 inks! Simply gorgeous and love those sea colors <3…

Karen Bearse had a play and made a Recycled Shopping Bag Notebook using the Sizzix Journal die. Make sure to check out her video tutorial loaded with tips and tricks! What a fun idea and who doesn’t have a ton of bags they have been saving…

Tonya Trantham bumped up the spine of the Notebook die and made a boho Wings and Things chunky Notebook Planner! The colors are luscious!

Here’s another fun project from Tonya- a Doilies and Flowers Drawer that shows off Tonya’s hand at making the most delicate flower arrangements <3

Susie Bentz gets creative with this Steampunk Mask using the new Blends2 inks and Molten Dimensions. Wow- that is so creative and so striking!

New Products from Eileen Hull!

24 May

Hi everyone- this is one of those fun days… I get to officially announce there are new products from Eileen Hull! My partners are Therm O Web and Emerald Creek Craft Supplies. My fabulous Inspiration Team is sharing how they like to use them in their projects

New Products from Eileen Hull

The first product line is with Therm O Web Adhesives. Because I work with heavy duty materials like matboard, leather, felt, metal and fabric, I need adhesives that are strong and work with thick materials.

I am happy to say that the 6″ x 12″ Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets are now available! When I want to cover a die cut book or box with paper, I put an adhesive sheet on the right side of the matboard, peel off the resist paper and add a piece of patterned paper. Then I run the project through the die cut machine with the right side facing the die. When the die cut shape comes out, the paper is fused to the board. This is strong stuff my friends! The other products are ^” x 12″ Foam Adhesive and 1/4″ Red Liner Tape. I will talk about those products in my next post!

I have a line of Molten Dimensions embossing powders with Emerald Creek Craft Supplies in six colors:

Goldenrod

Glistening Glass

White Wonder

Polished Silver

Black Magic

Aqua Splash

Team Projects

Lisa Hoel leads off with this gorgeous Molten Dimensions embossed Mother’s Day card! She used the Sizzix Credit Card Sleeve as a base and layered heat embossed flowers from the Journaling Cards, Flowers & Leaves and “love” from Journaling Words. Any mother would be happy to get this card <3

Here’s another project from Lisa! This was one of the most popular samples at Creativation this January. She created this amazing zipped Needle Book case using the Notebook die. See her thorough tutorial on how to make this unique project.

Maggi Harding made this Journal for a very special trip! See the clever ways she uses the new Therm O Web and Emerald Creek products in her post here.

Julia Aston is headed to the beach! She created a Basket of Shells using Aqua Splash Molten Dimensions on the Basket Die, and also used the Twist and Style tool and Bookplate Hinges and Label. Read about how she made it here!

Bonus Projects

Tonya Trantham created this Sewing Box for her Mom for Mother’s Day. But this is no ordinary sewing box- it’s got DOUBLE the drawers! So smart! See how here.

A round of applause for Tonya 🙂

10 May

We are still celebrating the release of the newest Sizzix die and the team is here to show you more Eileen Hull Notebook ideas!

This Notebook die is so quick and easy to create you will be making them all. the. time! It is a ScoreBoards die, which means it is designed to cut and score thick material like matboard and chipboard so it will hold up to use. The die cuts in just one pass! Then add your elastic and book insert(s) and you have made a book! These books are easy to create assembly line style for a group event- wedding, party or other celebrations. Wouldn’t this make a great graduation gift for the new high-school or college graduate heading off to big new things?

Anna-Karin Evaldsson created this awesomely artistic Watercolor Meadow Notebook inspired by a walk to find some rare flowers- blue anemones! Don’t they sound pretty? See her gorgeous book with an easy to follow tutorial on her blog.

Susie Bentz created not one, not two, but three Notebooks to nest in her Treasure Box (tutorial coming soon)! The books are out of this world- Susie used gorgeous Stamperia Blue Star papers and made foiled spines. Get the scoop on her blog!

Maggi Harding is up with a stunning set of Notebooks and Treasure Box to match all covered with Kaleidescope papers from Graphic 45 – just beautiful. See a cool hinge technique here on Maggi’s blog.

Eileen Hull Notebook Die Ideas

Today we are taking a look at more Eileen Hull Notebook Die Ideas! The Inspiration Team created these projects for Creativation and we can now share them.

Eileen Hull Sizzix Notebook Die Ideas

Pam Bray starts off with this adorable Baby Boy Frame using the Notebook to hold precious baby photos! She has decorated the frames with my Rolled Flower die- just gorgeous!

Julia Aston shares three quick and easy Notebooks today – used as an Address Book, a Photo Book and Travel book. Visit her blog to see how she made them!

Jenny Marples shows us how to create these gorgeous bound Notebooks here on her blog! See my Facebook Live where I attempted to show how to create this case binding (don’t judge- I’m still learning! :-))

And now for some sad news (for me anyway)… my Instagram account was hacked three weeks ago. I have been in mourning for the loss of the 3300 posts including photos of my family, Paper Trail trips in my vintage camper Scotty, classes, events, beautiful projects that people have created using my dies and also my almost 7600 followers that I had spent years growing. I would love if you would follow me on Instagram… click here. Thank you!

You can find the Notebook die here along with lots of others- new shipment arriving on Monday- stay tuned!

Eileen Hull Notebook Sneak Peeks

16 Apr

This month the Inspiration Team is sharing their Eileen Hull Notebook Sneak Peeks with us! This is a new Sizzix die that has just been released. If you like to create quick and easy books, the Notebook might just be the die for you!

Bigz L Notebook

The Notebook is a handy little size. It measures about 3 1/2″ x 5″ x 3/4″- the perfect for tucking in your bag for notes or lists! This is a ScoreBoards die specially designed to cut and score thick material like matboard and chipboard up to 1/16″. The spine is built in and has an adjustable width which will hold one or two signatures. Another option is to die cut from paper, fold in half to create a nice card base. What I like best about this die is that you can cut a book cover in one pass through the die cut machine! Boom!

Ready for some samples from the amazing Inspiration Team?

Sneak Peeks

Who doesn’t love coffee? Check out Pam Bray‘s adorable Whole Latte of Love Notebook featuring her very own Emerald Creek Craft Supplies Coffee Sentiments rubber stamp designs!

Any Game of Thrones fans out there? Take a look at the epic set of Notebooks from Karen Bearse! She created the books to go with the fantastic Dragon Treasure Box she shared with us last month… so cool!

Tonya Trantham has a cool Boho vibe that comes out in this fifties lady who is rocking this Just Fabulous Notebook! She used the Trinket Box frame to put her front and center, then added some Waffle texture and Blends inks for pretty color.
