Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies & Creativation 2020 Wrap Up

24 Jan

Creativation 2020 was full of inspiration, camaraderie, make and takes, new products, classes, lots of walking and of course lots of crafty goodness! Eileen did several make and takes in the Sizzix booth showcasing her new dies from Sizzix! If you are a member of the Eileen Hull Facebook Fan Club, I hope you caught some of the lives from the show. After getting home, she had a day to recoup and then she jetted off to…

…Germany for Creativeworld, a huge trade show for the craft and DIY markets. Be sure to have notifications checked for Eileen Hull Designs on Facebook and follow her on Instagram because she will be sharing all the exciting things happening at the show. The show sounds amazing and the excitement just keeps going!

The Inspiration Team has more to share!

Eileen’s Inspiration Team has closer looks at the samples that they created for the shows. First up is Julia Aston with a darling magnetic board she made using the new Display Stand Die.

What a fun project for kids or to brighten any desk! Check out her blog post for a tutorial so you can make your own.

Susie Bentz also used the Display Stand Die to create this utterly practical but very cute dry erase sign to use at craft shows! The panel is cut from vinyl so the dry erase marker messages will wipe right off. Visit her blog to see all the details.

The second of Eileen’s new Chapter 1 Dies is the Gift Box with Scallop Edges. Our next two designers have created very different but equally fabulous projects using this die.

Anna-Karin Evaldsson used it to make a beautiful forest themed photo block. I love the green colors. It makes me feel peaceful just to sit and look at it. Visit her blog to see the tutorial for how this came together.

Creativation Time – Eileen Hull’s New Sizzix Dies on Parade!

15 Jan

That magical time, Creativation, is almost upon us! This is the Association For Creative Industries annual tradeshow and it is an extravaganza of all sorts of new and exciting products from the industry. Eileen Hull has four new Sizzix dies that will be debuting. Two, the Display Stand Die and the Gift Box with Scallop Edge are shipping now! The Inspiration Team has been very busy making all sorts of fabulous projects with the new dies to take to the show. I hope Eileen has a big display area in the Sizzix booth!

The Inspiration Team have been busy little bees…

Sooo many wonderful things are being done with the new dies. Go Team! First let’s take a look at Pam Bray’s Alice in Wonderland game box:

What a cute set! The games all fit inside the Gift Box. The Tiny Book (that’s a sneaky peek at one of the new Ch. 2 dies) has a little deck of cards in it! Check out Pam’s blog to see how she put this all together.

Next we have Lisa Hoel’s winter themed shaker card made using the Display Stand:

The stand folds flat for mailing or storage. Don’t you just want to put on your fuzzy mittens and jump into this scene? Check out Lisa’s tutorial on her blog to learn how to make your own!

Maggi Harding used the Display Stand to create a photo flip album with gorgeous Graphic 45 papers. She has a video tutorial on her blog so don’t miss that!

Keep going… I told you the Team has been busy…

Elizabeth Robinson created this shabby chic pink box with the Gift Box Die. Peruse her post to see all the details. Wouldn’t this box just add another layer of special to a gift you were giving?

Tonya Trantham created a cheerful Gift Box with lots of dimensional elements. The beauty of Eileen’s dies is that they are a perfect blank canvas for any style! Head on over to Tonya’s blog to see all the photos of this cutie.
