Eileen Hull Dies Box Bonanza Inspiration

Over the years Eileen Hull has designed many container dies and this month’s theme is Box Bonanza inspiration. The designers are seeing how many different ways they can use her various box dies! You will definitely get some new ideas for your own projects! Let’s see what is in store for us this week…

Jennie Atkinson used the Post Box Die as a holder for a small junk journal. Made in classic Jennie shabby chic style, instructions for making this delightful duo can be found on Jennie’s blog.

It’s hard to believe Christmas is in just a few days! I hope that you are getting a chance to drink in some peace and aren’t too busy. This month we are wrapping up 2021 with the designers sharing their favorite Eileen Hull projects from the year. We have three more ladies sharing today so let’s take a look!

Jennie Atkinson is the queen of soft shabby chic style and clever die hacks! Her 2021 picks show unusual ways to use Eileen’s dies (that boat is made with the 3-D Camper Die!) and they are so beautiful to boot! Head on over to Jennie’s blog to see all the details and links to the original tutorial posts.

Bonus project!!

Tonya Trantham has been busy this month and has another cute and clever bonus project to share with us! She used the journal page binding die from the Bookbinding and Label Die Set to line a tray and turn it into a tag holder. She has some tags already completed and says she is going to make more to match. This is such a great idea and would be perfect for organizing journaling cards or other ephemera. Find the tutorial on Tonya’s blog.

Wrapping up 2021 – concluded! 😉

We are continuing our look at holiday time projects made with ever versatile Eileen Hull Sizzix dies and products! Let’s see what the designers have for us this week:

January Theme: All About Cards

Hello there Eileen Hull fans and happy new year! Here we are in January and theme this month is all about cards. You may think that “3-D” dies are only good for three dimensional projects but they are also very useful for your “2-D” projects too. The Inspiration and Educator Teams are going to treat you to a whole lineup of greeting cards made using Eileen’s dies in novel ways. You won’t want to miss out on the inspiration and techniques they will be sharing! Let’s take a look at what the Inspiration Team has for us today…

Pam Bray has created a beautiful card using Eileen’s Tea Cup Die. What a great combination of textures, colors and dimensional elements! Wouldn’t it brighten a friend’s day to receive this card in the mail? You can find more details and instructions on Pam’s blog.
