More Fibers, Fabric & Felt – Journals & Home Decor

This week we have more fibers, fabric and felt inspiration for you! That is our March theme and the designers have been killing it. They are using them for accents on projects 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!

Jenny Marples always creates the most beautiful mixed media journals and this one is no exception. She has incorporated loads of lace, linens and stitching. Her ideas for journal pages are really inspiring! Check out her blog post for layering tips and many more photos.

I spy with my little eye several Eileen products in this delightful sewing themed decor piece that Tonya Trantham created. There is the Vintage Buttons 3-D Embossing Folder in the background, her new Button Cards #2 stamp set, Mandala Die, and Spring Leaves Die! Pay Tonya’s blog a visit to find out all the details!

Another master of layers is Elizabeth Robinson. She has a beautiful shabby chic journal to share with you too. Would you believe she starched and embossed the fabric on the front of this Full Size Journal? Whaaat? Love it!! That tassel is so lovely too. Check out all the details in her blog post.

Eileen Hull’s New Stamp Release from Maker Forte

By partnering with Maker Forte, Eileen Hull’s stamps bring you a brand new product line that integrates with Eileen’s dies (Snail Mail Thinlits, we’re looking at you!) These next two sets are being released today. (If you missed the first two releases, look HERE and HERE.) Eileen’s Inspiration and Education Teams have been hard at work to bring you a ton of inspiration! Let’s take a look at Eileen’s new stamp release and see what she has to say about them:

Snail Mail Postage

Postage stamps and envelopes have always fascinated me – I collected them as a child. My family and neighbors would give me their old envelopes to play with. There was so much to be discovered on each envelope! Like… where and when the letter was sent, who it was from (you can tell a lot by people’s handwriting), etc. It was endlessly fascinating to wonder about the people sending and receiving the mail. I was so intrigued that I actually began writing to a pen pal who lived in IL and was one of 12 kids. Talk about fascinating 🙂 I loved the miniature art on the envelopes – stamps! I would tear them off and organize them into all different categories.

The thought of re-creating some of the cancellation stamps and other postal references as stamps just makes me so happy! I designed the stamps to coordinate with the Snail Mail – Everyday Sentiments frame, and also the Sizzix Snail Mail Die – love when products work together to create a cool end result!

Button Cards #2

The first Button Cards stamp set that I designed sold out right away so I decided to design another set… and even personalized them a little 🙂 This set contains button cards in three different sizes (the smallest is just so adorable <3) You can stitch real physical buttons on the cards and then use them in card-making, journal-making or sewing projects, or draw buttons on by hand. The cards are so much fun to decorate and put in your journals or tuck into pockets!

Inspiration ahead!
