New Stencils and More from Eileen Hull

25 Jul

Eileen Hull has designed a new set of layered stencils with matching dies. The Sizzix stencil set is the Watercolour Florals & Lattice Stencil Set with the Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits die set that will easily cut out the stenciled flowers. The Inspiration Team has so many ideas for the new stencils and dies that we are continuing to feature them with our July theme of “Stencil Love” and sharing our creations with you!

Lisa Hoel created a vignette featuring flowers cut using the Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits die set and housed in the lid from the Slotted Treat Box Plus Die. Delightful! See all the details and steps in her blog post.
