Creative Recipe – Words, Tags & Pockets with Eileen Hull

The creative recipe for March has been a fun mix of words, tags and pockets! Designers have been whipping up a delectable spread of projects for your inspiration and the fun isn’t stopping yet. Let’s see what we have for this week…

Lisa Hoel decided to make tags as the background for a card. She die cut one using the Tile Alphanumeric Die and embossed others with some of Eileen’s 3-D Embossing Folders. So much texture! Find the details on her blog post.

Designer Maggi Harding has a few projects to share. She’s been a busy bee for sure! First, she made a whole slew of ATCs with matching pockets using the Library Pocket, ATC Card & Tabs Die Set. (See them all in her blog post.)

Now on to the festive Sparkle & shine inspiration…

Jenny Marples cleverly used the Geometric Box Die to create a mini triangular accordion bound book. What?? Such a great ‘out of the box’ idea for using this die! Jenny decorated the little book with glimmery and glittery elements for that perfect touch of sparkle and shine. Find out how to make one yourself on her blog.

Designer Tonya Trantham has a glitzy fall decor piece to share. She used the Geometric Box Die also to create a pumpkin box. I love the gold foil polka dots on the paper and that rhinestone button flower center. Festive sparkle & shine indeed! Head on over to Tonya’s blog to see all the details.

Elizabeth Robinson is rocking the foiled paper as well with her Geometric Box make! It adds such a lovely bit of shine. That gold flower on the front (made with the Sunflower Die) is fab! Her glam box fits right in with her holiday decor and hides a scent diffuser. See more on her blog.

Tutorials for Sizzix Chapter 4 Release Projects!

Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Chapter 4 Die collection released at the beginning of the month. (Watch the Release Party replay here if you missed it.) Eileen’s die designs always focus on versatility. She wants us to be able to use them in many ways and provide great value to our creative tool boxes! All month the designers have been sharing their tutorials for their release projects. The possibilities are endless!

About the new release…

Here’s what Eileen has to say about her new dies:

“The Geometric Box is a different kind of design for me. I love the ease of assembly, the unique shape and and the possibility of expanding the box into larger containers! This is a ScoreBoards die so it may be cut from sturdy materials like matboard, chipboard, metal, leather and fabric. The finished box measures 4″ h x 3″ w x 4″ d… or so… a fun feature of this die is that it adapts to how you shape it. You’ll see! Watch my livestream videos to show how to expand the possibilities of this die. Use the Geometric Box for storage – for pencils, silverware, flowers, or tools. The box may also be used as a gift container – imagine adding teabags, a pretty silver spoon and a bow as a get well gift!

The Sunflower is a Bigz L steel rule die – designed to cut and score a myriad of materials. The Sunflower is BIG– it measures about 4″ across and comes with a leaf, three sizes of petals and a flower center! Stack layers of petals to make a traditional sunflower, or change colors and create a pink coneflower. The basic shape is there for you to create your own flowers! Make a stem for the flower using wire and your Twist and Style Tool. The coordinating Geometric Box die works perfectly as a vase.

and a NEW 3-D Embossing Folder!

I love the whimsical patterns of vintage cutlery and that’s why I created this Silverware 3D Embossing Folder! The design is so detailed you can actually see a tiny bride and groom on the handle of a cake server. This folder is perfect for creating seating charts, menus, invitations, cards and recipe books. You would be surprised at the many materials you can emboss – metal, paper, cardboard, Sizzix Texture Roll and more. Once you have embossed the image, rub a light coat of a metallic Luster Wax over the top of the design and you have an amazing result! “

The new dies:

So many possibilities!

In another wonderful Geometric Box project, Madeline incorporated the new Sizzix Cork Surfacez and made a double box. Such a great idea! I think it would be a nice hostess gift and has such a great rustic look! All the details are on Madeline’s blog.
