Preserving Travel Memories with Eileen Hull’s Dies

How do you like to document the memories of your trips and holidays? Not surprisingly, we like to use Eileen Hull’s dies and stamps of course! Her various journal dies are perfect for making little albums. This week we have two designers from the Team sharing their inspiration for preserving travel memories. Let’s see what they have for us…

Jennie Atkinson has been on some fun trips with her old school chums and she created a fabulous shabby chic box in which to store the ephemera and mementos. It’s made from the Book Box Die and it’s full of folders to organize everything. I love that vintage vibe! Find more photos and a tutorial video on Jennie’s blog.

Designer Susie Bentz wanted to have her travel memories on display so she reached for the Shadow Box Frame Dies to create these decor pieces. This is such a versatile idea! Adapt it to preserve the memories for any event or trip! Find all the details and instructions in Susie’s blog post.

Leftovers Love – Using the Bits with Eileen Hull’s Dies

Leftovers love – we’ve all got them! A box or drawer of leftovers… little bits and pieces which we can’t bear to part with, the last of a pack of paper, bits of stamping, collected items for recycling… you get the gist! This month you are going to see the Teams creating with their leftovers in projects using Eileen’s dies as the base. So get inspired! Get your own scraps out and make something along with us.

Pam Bray raided her box of scraps and extra die cuts to create this lovely garden themed wall hanging. I love the cheerful color scheme she used – perfect for this time of year! Pay her blog a visit to see the interesting ways she incorporated various die cuts into this delightful mixed media piece.

Designer Karen Bearse made a sweet memento of her children’s high school lacrosse careers. The Shadowbox Frame #2 Die Set was perfect for the photo frames and Karen cleverly recycled some cast off fruit packaging for the “net” hinge. Find out how she put it all together in her blog post!

Birds, Nests & Eggs – Inspiring Projects

Things are heating up around here – both outside and in the art room! This month we are celebrating the spring season with makes inspired by birds, nests and eggs plus all things spring. Scroll on to see what the designers have to share with us this week…

Sarah Lizzie used Eileen’s Gift Box Die to create this darling (and useable) bird feeder! What a fun idea. This would be a great summer craft to do with kids. Think how much fun they’d have decorating their own bird feeder. Pay Sarah Lizzie’s blog a visit to find the instructions.

Chock full of texture and mixed media magic, Sharon Curtis has done it again with another fab Shadow Box Die creation! I love how she used the Shadowbox Elements Die Set to cut the houses out that are sitting on the ledge. Check out her blog for more info.

Whaaaat? Tonya Trantham used the Shadowbox #1 Die Set to make a mini album! That is some serious out of the box thinking! (pun intended) Behold the brilliance of Tonya’s creative make and head on over to her blog to see how she did it.
