Clever Ways of Using Eileen Hull’s New Sizzix Dies

20 Feb

The Inspiration Team has been at it again! They have come up with some unusual and clever ways to use her new Sizzix dies. Read on to see…

First up we have Elizabeth Robinson. How many times have you lost little dies in the flotsam of your craft table? (Come on now, let’s see a show of hands. 😉 ) Well, Elizabeth very cleverly used the Display Stand Die and a magnet sheet to make a handy holder to keep those metal bits in one place while you are creating. It works well for pins, needles and other bits when you are sewing too! Check out her blog post to see.

Tonya Trantham thought completely outside the box and used parts of the new Gift Box with Scallop Edges Die combined with the Trinket Box Die to make a cute notepad holder. Now that is a great idea! Take a look and go visit her blog to see how she made it:

A creative Display Stand keepsake was made by Julia Aston for her grand nephew. Look at that darling retro TV featuring a photo of him skiing! She even added ‘glass’. See her post for the how-to!
