August Theme: Old Project, New Twist with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

The Creative Team theme for August is “Old Project, New Twist”. Designers are drawing inspiration from past projects and interpreting them in a new way. I’m excited to see what they all come up with! Let’s check out the inspiration so far…

Sarah Lizzie created a beautiful birthday card for her Mum using Eileen’s Stitched Hearts, Page Edges and Nora Numbers Die Sets. That color palette is so lovely! Find all the details here.


Pam Bray used the “old” Treasure Box Die and “new” Garden Gate Album Die to create a box filled with wonderful floral tags! You can find the tutorial in her post.


Jennie Atkinson just celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary! She took an old tag project she had made and reinvented it as a celebratory heart using Eileen’s Stitched Hearts Die Set and Lace Embossing Folder. Beautiful! (and congratulations to Jennie and Terry)


Lisa Hoel is revisiting a UFO project from six years ago. She is making a new Wonder Woman themed junk journal in a larger size by using the Full Size Journal Die instead of the original Journal Die she had started with. This is Part 1 of the project – the cover, details here! Stay tuned for more…


FLASHBACK PROJECT!

Lisa also has some summertime 3-D Truck and Camper Die inspiration for you! She made tag journals about all the family camping trips they’ve taken over the years and the camper and truck are perfect holders for them. You can see all the details here.


NEWS from Eileen…

Last Wednesday I took off for CT to watch four of my grandkids, their two dogs, chickens, turkeys, lizard and new bunny. It was a busy week and a LOT of driving, but so worth it. We don’t see them a lot because of the distance but for those few days, I got a snapshot of their lives and it was so fun to be part of it. Then my husband tag-teamed me and stayed and I took off to see my Mom in NY with a stop to see my Aunt Ann who lives along the way. Mom is doing well and will be celebrating her 92nd birthday next week.


Yesterday I learned my friend Marla had lost her fight with pancreatic cancer. We had such a nice visit back in June. She will be so missed – she was a bright light in my life and it’s hard to believe she is really gone.


ART THERAPY TIME

I just learned what goes into a Commonplace Book and I am dying to make one! I decided to use my Sizzix Journal die but really any size will work. You can watch last week’s video HERE. I considered using the Field Notes & Specimen Card die cover that we created on last week’s live, but wanted to make it bigger and in portrait orientation. 

We will make a simple cover (maybe fabric?) and concentrate on the pages. Do white pages intimidate you? l’ll show some options to remedy that and also a few ways this book could be laid out. Join me to hear all about it!

Am I CRAZY?

I am going to try and do a reel every day in August on Instagram and Facebook. OK, turns out yes, I am crazy 🙂 It’s hard to do while on the road and still get sleep. But I am back home and will try again!

Remember, I’ll have a booth at the Garlic Festival in Saugerties, N.Y. coming up the last weekend in September. If you live nearby, please come and say hi!

Alphabet & Numbers – Projects Made with Eileen Hull’s NewSizzix Dies

June is the month for “Alphabet Soup”! We’re still focusing on Eileen’s newest Sizzix release but with a special emphasis on projects using the Nora Alphabet and Numbers Die Sets.

Elizabeth Robinson created this fab journal cover embellished with Nora Alphabet and Stitched Heart cut outs. Super cool! A little birdie told me she’s not done yet either. We’ll get a peek at the insides soon…


Eileen’s dies are perfect for making home decor! Teresita Arvelo made this cheerful shadowbox frame featuring a Stitched Heart and Garden Gate details. You can get a closer look on her Instagram account or in her post.


News from Eileen…

Hi everyone – I’m back! It’s been a week since my hysterectomy and I am feeling almost back to normal. But don’t worry, I’m not going crazy doing too much. I have to say it was not as bad as I had expected, and I am very relieved it is done! If you want to hear what to expect the day after surgery, you can watch my video from last week here.

During the past week, I have been playing with the new dies. I found another really fun way to use the Ephemera Pocket & Tags. Join me this afternoon to see how to make Trifold Ephemera Pockets – they work great with 6″ x 6″ paper pads! I hope you will get yours out and craft along with me 🙂


I am also excited to share that a special Guest Designer will be joining me live on Friday! Her name is Cez Tolentino – she is from Singapore and I can’t wait for you to meet her! She is an amazing designer and member of the Sizzix Design Team. I will send a quick message later this week with the link. We are trying to get a time to go live when we are both awake 🙂
