Welcome to September! There is a lot going on this month. Our overall Creative Team theme is “My Favorite Journal”. In addition, we are having some collaborations with other companies. Our UK designers are having their turn using exciting Grafix Arts speciality plastic films and sheets. USA designers are testing out Bearly Art glue. Let’s take a look at our first projects…
Sarah Lizzie created this bold and colorful inspirational journal using Eileen’s Field Notes & Specimen Card Die plus Grafix Dura-Lar Prints sheets. Cool! More details here.
Pam Bray made a pretty shabby chic card using Eileen’s Stitched Hearts, Skinny Mini Elements Dies and her Lacy Leaves Embossing Folder (plus some classic flower and leaf die sets). Details here.
The precision tip on the Bearly Art glue made it easy to cleanly glue all those little bits!
News from Eileen!
Hi all! I had a whole list of things to do today, but my daughter and Thomas (6 weeks old) stopped by and we wound up going to Goodwill and catching up. And there was some baby tending going on because apparently Thomas does not share our love for thrift shops (yet) :-). I found a big wooden tray that I am going to paint and letter on for my Mom to do her puzzles on. When it’s dinner time, she can just move the tray instead of putting the puzzle away. I found another old jewelry box. Whever the kids come over, they immediately head for the jewelry boxes because they know that’s where the dress-up jewelry is.
What are your thoughts on thrifting? I’m not sure if that’s something you want to see here – can you let me know?
I am excited to say that TODAY on our livestream, we are having a Guest Designer, friend and my trade show roommate – Rebekah Meier! Rebekah has just released some new rice papers with Joggles and they are absolutely stunning! Today we will be hearing more about them and she and I will share some inspiration on the many things you can make with these papers.
Fan Club Fun!!
OFFICIAL LAUNCH!!!
We are doing an ATC SWAP! The swap will begin TODAY 🙂 Please read the info below and sign up today to be part of it. Share your art with a fellow creator.
An artist trading card (ATC) is a tiny piece of original art. It measures strictly 2.5 by 3.5 inches, the exact same size as a standard baseball or trading card. Artists make these small cards to trade or give away for free, rather than to sell.
These are the guidelines:
- Size: Must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches to fit standard card collector sheets and sleeves. Each card should have an Eileen Hull product as a focus.
- Back Details: Please include on the back of the card: your name, date, event, number in series
- Mediums: Creators use any material they like, including paint, collage, drawing, markers, fabric, and mixed media.
- Shipping: this ATC can be sent in a standard envelope with regular postage. As long as it weighs less than an ounce, the cost to ship is the price of an .82 stamp. For reasons of economy and time, the swap will pair US with US and international with international.
- Timeline: Registration opens September 1st and goes till September 10th. On September 12th, you will receive the name of your swap buddy. You will have until September 29th to mail out your swap.
- In October, we will share our swaps in the Eileen Hull Fan Club – stay tuned for dates!
Sign up for the swap here!
