Nature Inspiration on the First Day of Fall

22 Sep

Can you believe that we are already nearing the end of September? It’s been a lovely month so far (fall is my favorite season!) The Teams have been sharing nature journals the past few weeks and the nature inspiration has been off the charts! Have you been playing along and sharing in the Fan Club? We are wrapping up our September theme this week with fab makes from the Educator Team!

Get comfy…

Jennie Atkinson is leading us off with a lovely garden book utilizing the Teacup & Spoon Die to make an interesting cover on her folded wallet journal. Jennie was inspired by pink roses she has growing in her garden and they are reflected in the sweet little journal she made. Head on over to her blog to see all the interactive bits to be found inside!

Designer Sarah Lizzie also created a diminutive little book – a pocket nature journal! I love its small size. She used the Gift Card Folder & Label Die for the structure. The little journal tucks right into the folder box. It’s so pretty and shabby chic. You can find all the details and instructions on her blog so don’t miss it.

Madeline Arendt’s nature inspiration came from the four seasons and the wonderfully organic looking handmade papers she chose for her journal. She used a combination of Eileen’s different journals dies for the cover and pages and included many wonderful details. You can find out all about it and the tutorial on Madeline’s blog!

Fancy Folio Journals – Get Inspired!

24 Mar

Have we really reached the end of March? Wow! All month long the Inspiration and Educator Teams have been busily creating using Eileen’s latest Chapter 1 Sizzix Dies – the ScoreBoards Folio Journal Die, coordinating Folio Page, Pockets and Flower Thinlits set and the Mandala Thinlits die. We have some very fancy Folio journals to share with you this week so scroll on!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Ch-1-die-lineup-graphic-1024x359.jpg

All I can say is, “Super chunky!!” to describe this fantastic Folio journal made by Jennie Atkinson. Gosh golly that is cool!! She made it to house some of her favorite ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) so appropriately she mounted an ATC on the cover and the spine as well. Her blog post is full of photos and a flip through video as well so check it out!

Inspiration from the Educator Team – It’s in the Cards!

27 Jan

January is just about over but we have one more post chock full of card inspiration from the Educator Team! Eileen has three new Sizzix Chapter 1 dies that just got released, the Mandala Thinlits Die, the Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers Thinlits Set, and the Folio Journal XL Die. As you’ve seen this month, the first two Thinlits sets are so versatile for card making! Scroll on to see more…

Educator Sue Eldred created a darling floral pocket folio card using Eileen’s new dies. The bright and cheery colors and fun interactive element would make this card a delight to receive in the mail! I think it’s a clever to make a little corner pocket to hold the actual card. The layered effect is quite lovely. See all the details in Sue’s blog post.

Using classic floral favorites from some Eileen’s past die designs, Sarah Lizzie made a beautiful card with felt flowers over an embossed background. (Eileen’s dies, both steel-rule and thinlits, cut felt perfectly). It gives a card such a tactile look! Visit her post to see the tutorial.

We have a whole list of fabulously festive projects from the Educators Team…

Jennie Atkinson cleverly used the Pocket Notebook Die to make a gift box to hold scented tea light candles. It is beautiful and practical and once again just goes to show how versatile Eileen Hull’s dies are. Jennie’s idea can also be easily adapted to fit any occasion or theme, not just Christmas. Bravo!

Teacup & Post Box Projects from the Educator Team!

28 Oct

Well, here we find ourselves in the last week of October. Wow! It has been a month full of inspiring creations made using Eileen Hull’s newest Sizzix Dies. This week’s post will feature Teacup and Post Box projects from the Educator Team. As usual, we’ll see a wide range of styles and themes because Eileen’s dies are the perfect blank canvases to showcase your own brand of creativity.

What Eileen says about her two new dies:

I had so many requests for the teacup die (retired a couple of years ago) that I designed a new one for you – the Teacup, 3D & Spoon! What is different about it? This is a Bigz L die (which means a lower price point!), and features a spoon (new), teabag label (could be used as a teeny tiny book!) and insert piece.

Chapter 4 Eileen Hull/Sizzix Release Party Blog Hop

This XL ScoreBoards Post Box die was designed to work as a mini mailbox. The slot will allow a gift card/credit card to go through. It would be a fun way to decorate a gift card box for the holidays. And did I mention that assembling this die takes about 10 seconds? Seriously!

Chapter 4 Eileen Hull/Sizzix Release Party Blog Hop

What Teacup & Post Box treats does the Educator Team have in store for us? Scroll on…

Designer Betsy Skagen used her own line of rubber stamps to artfully decorate her Christmas Wish Post Box project. I love the thought behind this wish box and the vintage styling gives you a warm nostalgic feeling. Betsy has more photos and a tutorial on her blog so be sure to check that out.

Educator Team member Sarah Lizzie also found festive inspiration for her Teacup and Post Box projects. She is sharing the tutorial for these makes that first made their appearance in the kick off Blog Hop Release Party at the beginning of the month. All the holiday touches really get you in the mood for Christmas!

Madeline Arendt really thought out of the box for her clever Christmas ornament designs. Can you see what she used for the bodies of her cute decorations? All is revealed in the tutorial on her blog, plus some other ideas for ornaments too.

Jennie Atkinson also did a some out of the box thinking for her latest project with the dies. She combined the two dies to make a perfect gift for a tea loving friend or family member – a sweet little box filled with teacup shaped coasters! Check out her blog for the tutorial and additional photos of this lovely make.

Meet the Eileen Hull Educators Team!

24 Jun

You know about Eileen’s Inspiration Team – each week they bring you exciting projects for your viewing pleasure here on the blog. There is also another team behind the scenes and it’s time for them to step into the limelight. Meet the Eileen Hull Educators Team! These talented ladies promote Eileen’s products during the course of their creative careers through teaching classes, making youtube videos, writing blog tutorials and sharing all around our world-wide creative space. Going forward, they are going to be featured here on the blog the fourth week of each month. That means even more inspiration for you guys!

So who are these folks? Scroll on…

Madeline Arendt
“From early on being a “maker” has been what I like to do. I have worked in various ways within the creative craft industry for a number of years. Everyday life brings changes, but that desire and love of making and creating has never left. Staying connected to “creative souls” that I’ve been lucky enough to know for a long time, brings me to this moment and this group, wanting to share that with others.”

Meet the Eileen Hull Educators Team!
Favorite Project: Journal

Jennie Atkinson
I live on the remote Scottish Island, Shetland, the very north of the UK and closer to the surrounding Scandinavian countries than Mainland Scotland. Consequently I have learnt my current crafting passions through online videos and trial and error! My style is shabby vintage mixed media and I am passionate about making my own flower embellishments, with a love of books coming a close second.  I have been creating in some form or another all my life and whilst I love the messy nature of mixed media, evenings will find me either spinning Shetland fleece or knitting the local Fair Isle and Lace patterns. I love sharing my work either in tutorials on my blog, local workshops and on Design Teams and am excited to now being able to share my love of Eileen’s dies with you all.

Meet the Eileen Hull Educators Team!
Favorite Project: Vintage Tea Dyed Wrap Journal

Debbie Bankston
I am a lifelong crafter, artist, demonstrator, instructor and designer. In my paper crafting world I enjoy creating with die cuts and sharing tutorials on YouTube. As an artist I combine painting and paper projects often. I create projects daily in my small studio in south Georgia.

Favorite Project: Lap Book Project

Go ahead, get a beverage refill. We’ll wait.

Cheryl Bodkin-Waters
Greetings from Orange County, California. I’ve been a maker for most of my life. I enjoy teaching and make it a goal to share a message of inspiration and encouragement along the way. I am a self-taught mixed media artist, paper crafter, jewelry artist, author, speaker, and enjoy lots of different mediums. My style is shabby chic, grunge, vintage type and I enjoy connecting with creatively minded people like you. I have had the wonderful opportunity of sharing art and cultivating friendships while being a former Fiskars lead ambassador, sharing as a guest designer for several manufacturers, regularly writing and sharing work with Stampington’s many publications, teaching on-line classes and more. I look forward to connecting with you and learning and creating together with wonderful and innovative Sizzix and Eileen Hull’s dies and products.

Favorite Project: Be Inspired Pocket Notebook

Cheryl Boglioli
I am a mixed-media artist on the leading edge of new products and techniques within the various disciplines of the ever-growing market. As a full-time Artist with a passion for teaching, you can find me Living the Art Life TM , traveling and teaching workshops at independent stores and events worldwide. Eileen’s dies combined with her scoreboards are the perfect surface to play with paints and mediums. My favorite at the moment is still the quite versatile Journal .

Favorite Projects: Painted Travel Journals

Keep going, there is more to see!

Kathy Clement
I have a passion for all things paper! I made my first greeting card when I was about 4 years old using my Crayolas and a Doodle Pad. After raising and homeschooling our family of 5, I rediscovered my love for paper, color, pattern and design and started Kathy by Design in  2008. My style is vintage/shabby chic with lots of layers, details, flowers and ribbon. I dabble in mixed media and altered art, but am primarily known for my cards and folios. I love using die cuts in my projects because they add depth, dimension and texture to the finished product. Eileen’s teacup is probably my all time favorite die. My studio is my happy place, and I get totally lost in the creative process. I started my blog in 2013 because my heart was to educate and inspire others to discover the joy of paper crafting.

Favorite Project: Alice Treasure Box

Wendy Cuskey
Having been a paralegal for over 20 years, I am well familiar with the daily grind of the 9-5 world, etching out pockets of time here and there to hone my craft (usually after kids were in bed until wee hours of the morning). During my employment with Sizzix, I was able to share my eclectic style using many mediums as well as teach project classes to consumers and retailers alike. My real passion is to create projects and teach classes which I hope to start doing again on a regular basis; even if only in my basement! I am excited for the opportunity to share my love of art with and through Eileen; she is a talented, lovely lady and a dear friend.

Favorite Project: Trinket Box made for the Die packaging

Could you pick just one favorite project? 😉

Sarah Lizzie Dodd
I am a full time artist based just outside Chester in the UK. I work with a variety of different materials and mediums! Art and crafting is a great way to express how you are feeing and it’s a great mindfulness activity. I run workshops, online tuition and various other events from my home based studio. One of my favorite dies at the moment is the Display Stand Die and the Tiny Book Die.

Favorite Project: Be Your Own Beautiful Tiny Book

Sue Eldred
I am a DIY, paper crafting, picture taking, creative kind of gal. (Also kind of an organizing nut.) Finding good junk to re-purpose into great treasures is one of my loves and I have an eclectic style. I like clean and simple, shabby, vintage and at times I like to get completely messy. I get a great deal of satisfaction of creating for myself and others.

Favorite Project: Christmas Ornament House

There are so many fabulous designers on the team!

Annette Green
I am a former graphic designer since college and after having our daughter, I turned into a crafting maniac! Scrapbooking, quilting, sewing, card making, stamping, cross-stitching, you name it! For the past 15 years I’ve been a designer and traveling instructor in the paper crafting industry, representing some of the top companies in the biz. I work in my Greenville, SC studio (where we just moved!) every single day making goodies to share online, through classes and events, and also to sell in my Etsy shop. I also love to cook read, exercise and be outdoors as much as possible.

Favorite Project: Rotating Jewelry Box

Anita Houston
I love everything about Art and have tried it all, but mostly dabble in Mixed Media, Paper Crafting, General Crafting, Encaustics, and Painting, and I currently have a line of stamps. I’m on the road a lot, teaching and demoing in the U.S., but mostly in Texas as that’s where I’m from. I truly love what I do, and get such a sense of fulfillment when participants in my classes radiate with the joy of creating something. I LOVE using Eileen Hull’s dies, and am thrilled to be part of her team, as well as her friend.

Favorite Project: Steampunk Shoes

Anne Redfern
I live in the UK and paper crafting is my passion, you can find me creating in my craft room most days! I love mixed media, working in 3D and creating journals and books, mainly using Eileen’s wonderful journal dies.

Favorite Project: Fabric Wrap Journal

We’re getting there…

Bona Rivera-Tran
Hi Everyone! My name is Bona Rivera-Tran and I love anything paper craft. I’m a mother to four amazing girls and a wife to a wonderful husband. I’m excited for this new adventure and look forward to sharing with you my projects.

Ginger Ropp

Betsy Skagen
Hello! I am Betsy Skagen (which rhymes with toboggan). My careers as news reporter, writer, copy editor, graphic designer, small business owner and mom of special needs individuals helped me develop the skills I now use as artist and craft product designer. Art helps me balance the hectic lifestyle of my ADHD, unicycling and tightrope walking family. I live with my husband, son, daughter and two big dogs in the arctic circle of Minnesota. And while it is true that some of my family really does walk the high wire and ride unicycles, so far only the dogs have mastered counter-surfing. Please join me on my blog for artistic and craft inspiration.

Favorite Project: Mini Art Journal

Nicole Wright
I took my hobby where it’s all about playing with crayons and inky fingers … oh then I created a business. I educate through inspiration and technique with the goal of getting the mixed media artist in you to open up and explore your own creativity. I’m an Influencer for Amazon, DecoArt, Dynasty Brushes, Ranger Ink and I’m a Contributing Writer for Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. Are you ready to make a mess?… Trust the process.

Favorite Project: Trinket Box Snowman Ornament
