Preserving Travel Memories with Eileen Hull’s Dies

13 Jul

How do you like to document the memories of your trips and holidays? Not surprisingly, we like to use Eileen Hull’s dies and stamps of course! Her various journal dies are perfect for making little albums. This week we have two designers from the Team sharing their inspiration for preserving travel memories. Let’s see what they have for us…

Jennie Atkinson has been on some fun trips with her old school chums and she created a fabulous shabby chic box in which to store the ephemera and mementos. It’s made from the Book Box Die and it’s full of folders to organize everything. I love that vintage vibe! Find more photos and a tutorial video on Jennie’s blog.

Designer Susie Bentz wanted to have her travel memories on display so she reached for the Shadow Box Frame Dies to create these decor pieces. This is such a versatile idea! Adapt it to preserve the memories for any event or trip! Find all the details and instructions in Susie’s blog post.

Scrap Hoarding? – Use Them with Eileen Hull’s Dies!

16 Jun

Are you scrap hoarding? We’ve all got them – those little bits and pieces which we can’t bear to part with, the last of a pack of paper, bits of stamping, collected items for recycling… you get the idea! This month you are going to see the Teams creating with leftovers in projects using Eileen’s dies. Get your own scraps out and make something along with us. Be sure to show us in the Fan Club!

Elizabeth Robinson raided her stash of bits and bobs to create some lovely journal embellishments. This is a great idea! Now she has them ready to go to add to an upcoming journal project. So if you don’t have time for an involved make, you can always make quickie embellishment pieces for the future. Visit her blog post for a closer look.

Designer Jenny Marples had a similar idea to Elizabeth. Utilizing her ample scrap hoard, she created collage postcards and envelopes to use in other projects. Mixed media magic strikes again! I really love these postcards and can’t wait to see how Jenny uses them. See the tutorial on her blog!

Tonya Trantham has a hinged Book Box creation to share with us. She cleverly cut down the hinge piece so she could make the box open from a horizontal orientation instead of vertical. Her layered embellishments on the top are delightful as well. Find the scoop on her blog!

Leftovers Love – Using the Bits with Eileen Hull’s Dies

2 Jun

Leftovers love – we’ve all got them! A box or drawer of leftovers… little bits and pieces which we can’t bear to part with, the last of a pack of paper, bits of stamping, collected items for recycling… you get the gist! This month you are going to see the Teams creating with their leftovers in projects using Eileen’s dies as the base. So get inspired! Get your own scraps out and make something along with us.

Pam Bray raided her box of scraps and extra die cuts to create this lovely garden themed wall hanging. I love the cheerful color scheme she used – perfect for this time of year! Pay her blog a visit to see the interesting ways she incorporated various die cuts into this delightful mixed media piece.

Designer Karen Bearse made a sweet memento of her children’s high school lacrosse careers. The Shadowbox Frame #2 Die Set was perfect for the photo frames and Karen cleverly recycled some cast off fruit packaging for the “net” hinge. Find out how she put it all together in her blog post!

Using paper scraps from a beloved defunct paper brand, Maggi Harding made this fabulous Book Box! What a great way to use up paper collection scraps. Love, love, love it Maggi! Hop over to her post to see all the details. Find out where the paper came from (one of my fav brands too!)

Fibers, Fabric and Felt Wrap Up

31 Mar

March has come to an end. What a month of inspiration it’s been! The designers used fibers, fabric and felt in their creations and they did a stupendous job. Eileen’s dies (steel rule and Thinlits) cut easily through fabric and felt so the crafty possibilities are endless. We have some bonus projects and ideas to look at this week so let’s get going…

Lisa Hoel got stitchy with her felt and fabric journal cover. The cover pieces were cut out of thick felt using the Book Box Die and then covered with oodles of embroidery and appliqued wool plaid fabric pieces. See more over on Lisa’s blog post!

What a Treat – Fibers, Fabric & Felt Creations

23 Mar

Have you been enjoying our March theme this month? The designers are using fibers, fabric and felt in their creations as accents as well as major parts in their constructions. Eileen’s dies (steel rule and Thinlits) cut easily through fabric and felt so the crafty possibilities are endless. Let’s take a look at this week’s inspiration!

Easter is coming and Sarah Lizzie is ready! Just look at this super cute Easter treat box she made using the Book Box Die. This would be so much fun to make to give to a child. The egg shaker dome on the cover and fabric ribbon on the spine are just perfect. Head on over to Sarah Lizzie’s blog post to find the tutorial and make one of your own!

Madeline Arendt went all out and used fabric, fibers and felt in her journal creation. It really is fabulous! She also used the Book Box Die but left out the box parts to make it a full fledged journal. The spring colors and inventive use of materials are top notch. Pay Madeline’s blog a visit to see how she made it.

Designer Sharon Curtis used Eileen’s classic Wrapped Journal Die to create this felt beauty. The colors of the felt and bold design really make a visual impact. I bet it feels cozy to hold as well. Sharon shares how to construct it in her blog post so don’t miss the tutorial.
