Did you see the big Chapter 4 die release last Friday? We had a FB Live Release Party an a Blog Hop! This week we are taking a closer look at some of the projects shared during the Hop. I have to tell you it’s an exciting group of dies for sure! Here’s what Eileen has to say about them,
“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!”
First up is Pam Bray with a gorgeous Full Size Journal to share with you. There are so many special details inside this shabby chic wonder that you will not want to miss! Pam has a tutorial and a TON of detail photos over on her blog so check it out.
Have you ever played with gel printing? If you haven’t, you are missing out! Lisa Hoel used a Gel Press plate to print on her Notepad Die covers and shows you how in her blog post tutorial. She also used the Heart Mandala Die to make a mask and as a shape for a foiled accent. Find out how in the post!
Karen Bearse is also ready to wow us with her fabulous Full Size Wonderful Life Journal! Karen states that this journal is officially now her favorite size of the various journal dies. You really can fit so much into it! Pay her blog a visit to see all the detail photos and learn Karen’s secret-y secrets.
One of my favorites from Eileen’s new releases is the Sweater 3-D Embossing Folder. The level of detail you get is just incredible! Susie Bentz made these beautiful clean and simple holiday cards featuring the sweater embossing in the background. The trees are cut using Eileen’s Vintage Truck Die. I love the warm farmhouse feel of these and it would be easy to make multiples to send out for Christmas. See Susie’s tutorial to learn how!
