Tags and Pockets – Creations Made with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

8 Mar

“Wordsoup, Tags & Pockets” is the new March theme here on the blog! We want to see words and letters used in projects that also combine the new Chapter 1 and older dies of Eileen’s. The designers have been hard at work creating inspiring projects for you. Let’s check out the makes for this week…

Maggi Harding combined sheet music with the Mandala, Tile Alphanumeric and Journaling Card Dies to make a fabulous tag. She uses tags on cards and as studio inspiration among other things. See all the details on her blog!

Designer Susie Bentz is inspiring me to work on scrapbook pages again! She created a page documenting a trip and used the Library Pocket, ATC Card & Tabs Die Set to good effect. I really like how she has photos tucked into the Library Pockets. Pay Susie’s blog a visit!

Jennie Atkinson made a little mini book that is chock full of tags of all sizes. Delightful! She made it to fit inside of the Skinny Mini Book Box or be incorporated into a Frame Pocket journal. Check out her video and more photos of this vintage styled tag book in Jennie’s post.

Eileen Hull Chapter 3 Release Wrap-up!

31 Aug

Here we are at the end of August and it’s time for the Chapter 3 release wrap-up! We’ve been sharing all month long and hope you have found ideas and techniques to use in your own projects. Go to this link to watch the Release Party replay if you missed it at the beginning of the month. Here is what Eileen has to say about her new dies,

“I am so excited to share my Chapter 3 Sizzix die collection! Each piece in the set stands alone but also coordinates with the others to make a truly versatile and valuable addition to your collection.

The ScoreBoards Skinny Mini Book Box is a really great size – it measures 6 3/4″ x 4″ with an adjustable built in spine from 3/8″ to 2 1/4″. This die may be used to create a book by die cutting two covers OR a box if you add the side pieces to the covers. If you add the box supports, it will hold mini-slimline size cards.

The Skinny Mini Elements Thinlits will cut a cool star pattern that perfectly covers the front of the Skinny Mini book or the front of a slimline card. And you can also expand the size of the design to create a whole page pattern.

I have been wanting to make a Card Caddy Die for a while… so many people are making cards these days that I figured that they would love to have the ability to make a really pretty container to hold them. I love the shape of this box and it goes together so quickly – also fun to decorate! It will hold cards up to 5 1/4″ wide.

The 3D folder is called Woven Leather and it looks so realistic! Makes a great background for cards, journal pages or covers.“
