It’s time for the March die release wrap up! Did you catch Eileen’s March 1st live for a look at her newest die collection? It was packed full of inspiring projects! For the month of March, we’ve been taking a closer look at the project tutorials from the Release Party.
Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:
I’m so happy to introduce this brand new collection of mine from Sizzix! As always, I try to create designs that may be used together but also stand alone. There are four pieces in this set.
The Storage Box is an XL ScoreBoard die measuring 4” square, the largest square box yet! This box is constructed with a removable top and may be used in many ways, such as organizing desk and office supplies, as a gift box, storing craft supplies and packaging for baked treats.
The Mini Book is one of my favorites because you can create a book using this die in an evening, and use up your scraps in the process. This book measures 3 3/4” x 2 1/4” and comes with a strap/handle and tiny label for the book cover. It also makes a great bag topper if you fold it in the middle and also will hold a business card. Die cut it from felt and stitch up a tiny wallet!
There is a new Thinlits called Faux Postage – the full panel is designed to fit on a 5” x 7” card and creates a fun postage stamp effect. You can also cut (or tear) each stamp apart and use the individual pieces as a miniature work of art! These dies coordinate with similar dies: Snail Mail (A-2 card size) and Mini Slimline (6” x 3”).
The Lace 3D Embossing Folder is so amazing! It’s a new LARGE size measuring 8 1/2” x 5 3/4”. It works great on bigger journal covers, card backgrounds and on home decor pieces. This is created from vintage lace that I have collected and there are so many ways I want to use this!
Onward to the project inspiration!
Lisa Hoel created a Storage Box that perfectly fits four Mini Books – each one with a seasonal theme! Book covers were embossed with the A5 size 3-D Lace Embossing Folder (so much detail!!) Find many more photos and some how-to in her blog post.
Designer Pam Bray created a darling little junk journal using the Mini Book Die. It’s a great way to utilize all the fun bits from a patterned paper collection! Take a closer look at all the details and inside pages on Pam’s blog.
Sue Eldred used the Faux Postage Die Set to create these beautiful spring quilt cards. What a wonderful way to use that die and delve into your patterned paper stash (we know you have one!) Details on Sue’s blog!
Happy Easter! Bonus project…
Lisa Hoel created an Easter Scene inside of a box cut using the Storage Box Die. To find out what’s in the box, you will have to head on over to her blog!
Next week you’ll see what we have in store for April!
