Hello Eileen Hull fans! June is all about projects that show summer fun plus a chance to have some creative fun with a Craft Along Eileen did on her Facebook page. Eileen’s Sizzix dies are tops for versatility and will make your own projects shine. Let’s take a look at what the Inspiration Team has for us this week. More info about the Craft Along follows!
Designer Jenny Marples created a summer fun card that will make you want to hit the road for camping adventures! She used the 3-D Camper Die (yes, 3-D can also mean 2-D!) plus Flower and Leaf dies to compose this refreshing scene. I love how she used gel plate prints for the card parts – it adds a lovely visual texture and interest to the card. You can find more info on Jenny’s blog post!
Inspired by the sea, Lisa Hoel used the Folio Journal Die to make a stationery folder and filled it with matching cards and envelopes. This would make a great gift and could easily be adapted to any theme! More photos and info can be found on Lisa’s blog so head on over to take a peek.
Summer Fun Craft Along with Eileen…
Recently, Eileen did a Facebook Live Craft Along that was a lot of fun! She showed us how to make an interactive 4” x 6” folder from one sheet of 12” x 12” paper that fits in the Sizzix Pocket Notebook. I know I might have a few extra sheets of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper laying around (ha ha ha). You can still join in with the replay to learn how to make one as well!
Isn’t that fun? You can see a little video of it in action here. If you’d like to gather all your supplies so you can craft along with Eileen, here is what you will need:
- 4-5 coordinating 12″ x 12″ double sided papers – save one full sheet of paper for the base and use the rest for the pieces. Paper pads work great for this! It fits in the Pocket Notebook Die.
Waterfall & Tags die - 10 Waterfall pieces (the one with the score line)
- 4 Waterfall mat rectangle pieces
- 2 scalloped border pieces
- 6 small tags
- 2 medium tags
- 2 large tags
- 10 tag reinforcements
Folio Page, Pocket and Flowers die - 7 round pockets (without tabs) from the Folio Page, Pocket and Flowers die from random designs
- 4″ x 6″ coordinating paper scrap for middle section
- Inks – if you want to distress edges, you can do that before we start
- Glue
- Seam Binding to tie up
- Craft knife and self healing mat
- Scoreboard and bone folder
Head on over to Facebook when you are ready and watch the video on replay!
