July “Summer Vibes” Sizzix Project Wrap Up with Eileen Hull

28 Jul

The Creative Team July project theme was “Summer Vibes”. It’s been a month full of inspiration and this week is our summer project wrap up. Check out the inspiration and the July round up video!

Lisa Hoel finished her Yellowstone National Park vacation journal. Whew! She used the Full Size Journal Die for the base and filled it with photos, postcards, ephemera and of course used many of Eileen’s other die sets and stamps. You can find all the project photos here.

Flashback Summer Projects!

Jenny Marples has a rustic summer sea project she made with the Stacking Drawers Die. These delightful little boxes can hold candies or other treats. Wouldn’t they make wonderful party favors? Find the tutorial here.

Designer Jennie Atkinson is sharing a beautiful floral flashback project – a Tea Cup flower journal. Fabulous! Find all the details here.

Nothing says summer like sunflowers! Lisa Hoel made a summery accordion album to fit inside of a case made with the Skinny Mini Book Box Die (also the Mini Slimline & Tickets Die Set). Find all the details here.

Summer Vibes Wrap Up!

News from Eileen Hull…

I hope your summers are going well! The heat has eased off a little here in Virginia, thankfully.

I want to thank you for your patience, support, encouragement and having my back over the past few months. My family and I have have been through several surgeries, my husband’s retirement, a trailer renovation and other events/situations that I needed to deal with. All of those things are/were important.

For the past four years I have been going live twice a week. I cut the Thursday one and now go live on Tuesdays at 4:00 Eastern and I welcome you to join us! I also want to thank all of you have been following my health issues and sharing your experiences too. It makes things less scary when you know that others have been through it also.

So after taking the time off, I am ready to get back into it 😍. I have a new product coming out that I am very excited about and I can tell you more about that soon!

Today Margaret and I are going live using the Stitched Hearts die. Margaret has some great ideas up her sleeve and I have some things to try too so gather your supplies and create along with us! And if you make something, we would love to see it posted in the Eileen Hull Fan Club .

I am starting to gear up for the Garlic Festival in Saugerties, N.Y. coming up in September. Can I ask – when you go to an event like this, what are you looking for? Christmas presents? Everyday gifts? Things for you? Clothing or handmade accessories? Jewelry? I’d like to hear from you!

Eileen’s New Post Box & Teacup Sizzix Dies

14 Oct

Eileen Hull has two new exciting scoreboards dies to feed our creativity (shipping now!) – the 3-D Teacup Die and the Post Box Die. As always, Eileen’s dies are extremely versatile and the perfect canvases for a multitude of styles and out of the box thinking (or in the box thinking because her 3-D dies make great containers.)

What Eileen says about her two new dies:

I had so many requests for the teacup die (retired a couple of years ago) that I designed a new one for you – the Teacup, 3D & Spoon! What is different about it? This is a Bigz L die (which means a lower price point!), and features a spoon (new), teabag label (could be used as a teeny tiny book!) and insert piece.

Chapter 4 Eileen Hull/Sizzix Release Party Blog Hop

This XL ScoreBoards Post Box die was designed to work as a mini mailbox. The slot will allow a gift card/credit card to go through. It would be a fun way to decorate a gift card box for the holidays. And did I mention that assembling this die takes about 10 seconds? Seriously!

What has the Team cooked up this week with the new Post Box & Teacup Dies?

Julia Aston is sharing the tutorials for her Blog Hop projects. She used the 3-D Teacup Die to make a festively fragrant holder for a bag of balsam needles. Wouldn’t this be a wonderful hostess gift for the holidays?

For her Post Box project, Julia made this oh-so-cute Santa letter box. What a wonderful Christmas decoration! You could even make something like this into an ornament for your tree. All the details and tutorials for both of these projects are in her blog post.

Maggi Harding also decked out her Post Box Die makes for the holidays! Take a look at these darling Christmas wish boxes. She suggests making them for the kids in your life so they can fill them with gift ideas. Sounds pretty handy to me for “Santa”! Visit the blog post for a tutorial and plenty of photos.

Designer Susie Bentz came up with the brilliant idea of using the Teacup Die to make a mini album of all her grandniece’s adventures over the years on the Teacup ride at Disney World. Isn’t that perfect! You can see how she did it in the tutorial on her blog.

Mitsyana Wright brings us back to the holiday at hand with her fabulously Halloween-y makes! I love the vintage feel of the papers she chose and the fun embellishments. Also, now I know that dark chocolate Reese’s are a thing and I’m in trouble! I’m not sure I should thank Mitsy for that lol. Check out her blog post for all the details.

New Chapter 4 Sizzix Dies from Eileen Hull

8 Oct

Did you participate in last week’s new Chapter 4 Sizzix Die Release party? We had an eye-candy filled Blog Hop and Eileen shared a fun FaceBook live event with us. Eileen has two new exciting scoreboards dies for us to play with (shipping now!) – the 3-D Teacup Die and the Post Box Die. As always, Eileen’s dies are extremely versatile and the perfect bases for any ideas your creativity can throw at it.

What Eileen says about her new dies:

Team Project time!

Now let’s take a look at some of the Inspiration Team makes! Karen Bearse used the 3-D Teacup Die and the Stacking Drawer Die to cleverly create this tea bag caddy. This is such a creative idea! As she points out in her blog post, you could apply this same idea to many different sorts and themes of organizers. Don’t miss her post for a complete tutorial!

Designer Lisa Hoel used the new Teacup Die to create a piece that celebrates her favorite season – fall! She used a 3-D embossing folder to create the woodgrain on the teacup and a tree rings die to create a ‘saucer’. Check out all the details on her blog.

Jenny Marples knocked it out of the park with her Teacup Die creations! She used stamping and coloring to replicate the look of real china teacups. Brilliant! (The blue one is my favorite. 😉 ) I’ll spill one of her secrets too. She embossed the teacups with Eileen’s clear embossing powder to really hit home with the porcelain look! Visit the blog post for a tutorial and plenty of photos.
