Using Up Leftovers with Eileen Hull’s Dies

23 Jun

In June we are using up our leftovers! We’ve all got them – those 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 idea! This month you’ve seen the Teams creating with leftovers in projects using Eileen’s dies. Get your own scraps out and make something along with us. Be sure to show us in the Fan Club!

Designer Sarah Lizzie created an absolutely super cute Tiny Book using papers from her scrap stash. I love it! It does make me happy! Check out the details on her blog.

Lisa Hoel gathered a huge pile of scraps and extras to create a junk journal using the Folio Journal Die. Junk journals are a great way for using up leftovers! See all the photos and find out more in Lisa’s blog post.

Rummaging in her extra die cuts container rewarded Madeline Arendt with all the pieces needed for a 3-D Truck and Camper project. With the 4th of July just a few weeks away, she decided to make a themed decor piece. Bravo! See all the details on her blog.

Bonus project!

Tonya Trantham has been a very busy bee and has another extra project to share with us for your inspiration! She used the Shadowbox Frame die (what???) to make this little mini house shaped album. Shut the front door! (Seriously, the flies will get in otherwise. ha ha) So clever! Find out the how-to on her blog.

Birds, Nests & Eggs – Inspiring Projects

26 May

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.

New Sizzix Chapter 2 Dies – Tutorials!

14 Apr

Did you catch the Chapter 2 Release Party of Eileen Hull’s newest dies? There was a Live party and an inspiring Blog Hop! Eileen’s Teams really went to town with the samples. They have a ton of inspirational tutorials planned for you the rest of the month. Here is what Eileen has to say about her new Sizzix Chapter 2 dies,

Notice something different? There are no ScoreBoards dies in this collection! This Release includes two Shadowbox Frames Thinlits sets that also include some decorative flowers and shapes. The pieces may be used interchangeably to create square and rectangular frames. The Shadowbox Elements Thinlits set contains more decorative pieces to embellish your fames with but they may also be used on cards, tags and journals! Topping it off is the Crochet Mandala 3D Embossing Folder that you will just have to have. The detail is absolutely incredible!

This set of dies is very versatile since all of the components coordinate and work together so you can create endless combinations of projects in multiple sizes and shapes. The embossing folder creates a beautiful background for all of the scenes you might want to make, in addition to all the other uses you will find for it.

Thanks for being open to new ways of creating!

The new dies:

On to this week’s tutorials…

Pam Bray is giving us a closer look at her trio of beautiful cards made with the new Sizzix Chapter 2 dies and embossing folder. Her fresh and spring-like cards would be welcomed by any recipient! Pay her blog a visit to see all the details.

Jennie Atkinson has gotten quite addicted to making little dioramas using the Shadow Box Die Sets! Look at this beautiful one she made for the Hop – shabby chic goodness and it’s a wall hanging. Jennie has a video tutorial for this project which you can find in her blog post.

Equally stunning is Maggi Harding’s tag decor piece featuring a Shadow Box. The glam shadow box frames a quote and sets it off from the giant tag base decorated with Graphic 45 paper. Love it! See the details and a tutorial video on her blog.
