Chapter 3 Inspiration abounded during Eileen Hull’s Release Party! Did you miss it? Go to this link to watch the Party replay! For the rest of the month the designers will be sharing tutorials for their amazing projects. 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.“

Now for the Chapter 3 inspiration!
Jennie Atkinson created a beautiful shabby chic vintage looking booklet to fit inside of the Skinny Mini Book Box. So inspiring! Jennie has a tutorial video on her blog so go take a look and learn all her secrets. 😉
Eileen’s dies are perfect for card making and other “2-D” applications like scrapbook pages! Designer Susie Bentz created a dreamy layout using a photo from her wedding day and the Skinny Mini Elements Die (as well as the Heart Mandala Die). The handy thing about the Elements Die is that you can repeat your cuts to make as big a piece as you like. Susie shows how in her tutorial.
Bona Rivera-Tran is a prolific creator of fabulous makes and often utilizes Eileen’s dies. She recently created two Chapter 3 projects for the release. Here’s a peek and you can find all her inspiration on her Instagram account.
