Halloween Stacking Treat Boxes

21 Oct

How about creating a few of these Halloween stacking treat boxes? Team member Pam Bray designed the project using her favorite spooky paper collection by Authentique. Use these boxes for parties, gifts and candy!

BOO!

It’s hard to believe it’s already time to think about Halloween…

Here’s how Pam created a few of Eileen Hull’s Stacking Drawer Boxes from Sizzix using Halloween paper and Xyron Creative Station Lite with Permanent Adhesive.

Supplies:

Sizzix/Eileen Hull Stacking Boxes

Sizzix Matboard

Diamond Press Halloween Border Die

Xyron Creative Station Lite with Permanent Adhesive

Authentique Nightfall Paper Collection

Small Metal Knob

Black Ink

Pop Dots

Begin by die cutting a couple of the Stacking Drawer Boxes.

Shape boxes, cover with pattern paper.

Decorate front of Stacking Drawer Boxes with stickers and metal knobs.

Stamp and die cut images using black ink.

Adhere stickers to prepared Stacking Drawer Boxes.

Fussy cut stamped pumpkins add to top of Stacking Drawer Boxes with pop dots.

Fill with your favorite candy, gift card, note, mini album, etc.

Enjoy! Pam

Sharing More Pocket Notebooks Using Eileen Hull’s New Die!

16 Oct

Hello friends!

Did you get a chance to see the Pocket Notebook Release Party? There were so many inspiring Pocket Notebook projects created by my talented Inspiration and Educator Teams! I suggest you take some time to hop through the party if you missed it the first time because you will come away inspired I guarantee. Also, we are still sharing yet more Pocket Notebook creations the rest of this month here on the blog. For example, today we have Notebooks from Inspiration Team members Pam Bray and Julia Aston to check out.

First, Pam used an Authentique paper collection to craft this delightful Halloween themed Notebook with a vintage flair. The inside is just as fun as the cover because she included pockets and embellished signatures. Be sure to head on over to her blog to see all the festive details!

Here’s an inside peek (and there are many more peeks in her blog post):

Eileen Hull's new Sizzix Die, the Pocket Notebook

Love those vintage graphics!

Julia created a “working” journal that she is going to use to write down daily random thoughts. Be sure to check out her excellent tutorial on her post because she covers the decorative techniques (like that wonderful textured cover) as well as how to put the Notebook together with signatures and binding.

Julia’s use of 3-D embossing folders is stunning!

Check back next week to see additional Pocket Notebook projects from more of the Team. Really, the possibilities of this versatile die are endless! Also, please share your projects with the new Pocket Notebook Die on social media because I would love to see them.

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!

Notebook Emboss Technique

26 Sep

Hello Eileen Fans!!! Supreme Mystic Minion Karen Bearse here to share a Notebook Emboss Technique! The Inspiration Team continues the blog takeover while Eileen is away in Ireland.

While the boss is away, the Minions will play!!!

A while back I did a blog post for Topflight stamps using Eileen’s Notebook die cut. Did you know that Topflight Stamps carries Eileen’s Embossing powder?

For a full tutorial you can see it on my blog here. It includes a quick & easy, yet visually eye catching technique that creates a batik like look. I also did a demo live on Eileens facebook page. There was a crazy Minion takeover so in case you missed it & if you follow Eileen you can see it here.

I hope you have a chance to tryout this Notebook Emboss Technique!! Have an inky day!!
