Seasons’ Greetings with Eileen Hull

Hello there Fans and happy November. As usual, a new month means a new theme and this month it is Seasons’ Greetings with Eileen Hull! All month long the Inspiration and Educator Teams are going to look to the upcoming holidays and seasons for their creative makes using her dies. Whatever your jam is, you are sure to find some inspiration of your own if you pay the blog a visit each week!

Let’s see what the Team has for us today…

Designer Pam Bray got to spend some well deserved time in her craft room and she created some beautiful Thanksgiving projects. She is a magic worker with gorgeous patterned paper! I love those colors and the sunflowers. See more photos and tips on her blog.

Lisa Hoel was feeling stitchy so she used Eileen’s Snowman Box and House Ornament Dies to cut out felt pieces and sewed up some sweet little Christmas ornaments. Wouldn’t these make great gifts for the holidays? Check out her blog post for tips and tricks. And just how big is her ribbon and trim stash? Do we really want to know?

I am so impressed with Karen Bearse’s commitment and preparation for the December Daily challenge! She created an organizer for the event so she can hit the ground running and document all her holiday doings. Wow! She used several of Eileen’s dies to build it and it looks so festive. You will definitely want to investigate Karen’s tutorial on her blog to get all the nitty gritty details.

Fall is in the Air House

Hi everyone it’s me, Tonya! If you have been following along you know Eileen is away teaching classes. So today I’m “taking over” the blog to show you how I created this simple Fall is in the Air House! 

Creating the House

To start this project, cut two  House Ornament Diecut from matboard. Cut the flap off one of the house diecuts on the bottom as seen in the photo below.


Ink an Art Dauber with Butter Chalk Ink from the Cornucopia Chalk Paintbox Inks.  This set of inks was used for the whole project including inking both house diecuts. Place the Mandala Art Screen on top of the house diecut and load a spatula with Extra Heavy Gel (Matte)  Apply the gel over the art screen. Complete the same steps for second house diecut and let both diecuts dry. This was my first time I ever used extra heavy matte gel and I discovered I absolutely LOVED it!

Next ink Art Daubers with Harvest, Dark Brown and Pumpkin Spice Chalk Inks and randomly ink both house diecuts. Once dry, adhere both house diecuts together and add gems around both sides of the roof.

Decorating the House

I must have been in a crafting zone because I forgot to take photos of the steps of how I put the flower together. YIKES! Cut six flowers and one leaf from crinoline fabric from the Journaling Card, Flowers and Leaves Diecuts. The glass tray was inked with Red Barn and Dark Moss Chalk Inks, and water was added to both inks. Six flowers were placed into the Red Barn and the leaf was placed into the Dark Moss Inks. All diecuts were completely covered before I removed them to dry. The final step for the flower was adhering all together. I added the leaf to the back of the flower before adhering to the corner of the roof.

The tiny chipboard flower I inked with Red Barn. The Watercolor Paper leaf was inked with Mint Chalk Inks. The leaf was added to back and a sequin to the center of flower. I then placed a Foam Pop Dot to the back of the flower and  above the window. The house was finished by tying a bow from cording and adding to the side of the roof. I hope you have been following Eileen as she travels and her Inspiration Team as they share their some fun crafting ideas!

Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is wonderful and enjoy creating!
