More Inspiration Using Eileen Hull’s Newest Dies!

12 Jun

As there were so many individual items in the May Release, we are having another month of sharing more inspiration and projects each week from the Creative Team. Scroll down to see!

Hi all, I’m finally back in a somewhat normal routine after our trip.This weekend we went out to our house in Delaware to get it ready for the summer renters. Luckily I was able to squeeze in some thrifting in between cleaning and painting 🙂 Is this something you would like to see in a craft live? Or do you think it would be better to see in a separate video?

This week I am doing TWO 10 ways videos. On Tuesday, we’ll be looking at lots of ways to decorate kraft journal pages- click the graphic to watch:

On Wednesday night at 10:00 Eastern, I am a guest on the Cool To Craft Pajama Party and I will be sharing a fun way to organize washi tape!

There are so many ways to use tags in your journal – create with me on Thursday! I’ll be using my Waterfall & Tags Sizzix die to make them.

On Friday, I’ll be live again; 4 days in a row! I’ll be talking with my friends Cara Brandon and Sheri Kord about an event I’ll be part of on Friday, June 20 at 9:00 ET called Craft Showdown! Stay tuned for a link to the live and make sure to subscribe!

More Project Inspiration from the Creative Team…

As there were so many individual items in the May Release we will have another month sharing more wonderful inspiration and projects each week from the Creative Team.

Maggi Harding created these bold mixed media cards using Eileen’s new Color Wheel Stencil Set plus the Plate & Pattern Set. So cool and fun to make! Check out Maggi’s post and the video short below.

Tonya Trantham also created a bright and cheerful card full of her layering magic. The Handbound Journal Die works great for cutting a card base with that fab scalloped edge.

Eileen Hull’s Trip & Making a Travel Journal with Sizzix Dies

4 Jun

Making a travel journal with Eileen…

Hi all, we are back from our two week river cruise through Hungary, Austria, Germany and Netherlands! What a trip it was – I don’t ever want to forget it! And if I don’t record this trip right away, I might! So I hope you will join me this week as I work in my travel journal. I created it the night before we left and I kept pretty good notes, but now I want to add photos and ephemera I picked up along the way. I hope you will join me as I create; just click on the graphic below! I’m using the Handbound Journal, Key Embossing Folder, Vegtan leather and some assorted papers and ephemera.

I must apologize for the lack of sound in the One Page Wonder video. It posted while I was away. I’m not sure what I did wrong but will try and see if I can fix it – so annoying!

On Thursday’s livestream, I will continue to work in my journal – let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to cover! I am excited to pick up my photos at Walgreen’s and add them into the journal!

Thanks to all who helped to keep the channel going while I have been away – Lisa Hoel came through with excellent newsletters where she shared the team’s gorgeous projects and Debbie kept the Etsy store going. Thanks to all who are sharing their projects in the Eileen Hull Fan Club – my internet was frequently slow and I am still catching up. Please know I appreciate it and love seeing what you are creating!

Welcome to June! As there were so many individual items in the May Release we will have another month sharing more wonderful inspiration and projects each week from the Creative Team.

With minimal effort, you can cut perfectly sized pages that fit seamlessly into your journal. Whether you’re adding lined paper for notes, blank pages for sketching, or specialty sheets for planning, the die makes it easy to create consistent, professional-looking inserts every time. It’s a quick, efficient way to personalize your journal to suit your exact needs.
