For the whole month of July we have been checking out Eileen Hull’s Die release project inspiration. This week is our Sizzix Chapter 3 celebration wrap up! Did you catch the Release Party & Blog Hop at the beginning of the month? We had a fun time (watch the replay) and the Blog Hop was packed full of inspiring makes from the Teams! In case you missed it, Eileen has three new dies in her Chapter 3 release:
Here’s what Eileen has to say about her new dies:
“Celebrate every day with these versatile Chapter 3 Sizzix dies! Although themed as a holiday collection, just think of how many ways you can decorate these dies to celebrate every season of the year, simply by changing out the paper and colors! The Truck and Camper pair are a match made in heaven. Set it on the mantel, (paired with the Camper die!), hang on the tree, fill with treats or create your holiday cards with them. The Ornament Box may be used several ways – use the circle shapes separately as ornaments or build up the sides and add treats, snacks and gifts. Decorate the box with elements from the Thinlits Wreath & Snowflake dies or use those elements in your journals, tags, pages and pockets! You will want them all!”
Hold on to your hats…
The designers have shared many creative makes with us this month and there are still several for you to see in this post! Eileen’s dies really are so versatile and well suited for adaptation to any style you choose! For example, Jennie Atkinson is the queen of shabby chic and she doesn’t disappoint with this gorgeous creation. She turned the Ornament Box into a vintage looking holder for a sweet little junk journal tag album. Don’t miss her tutorial and more photos on her blog!
Designer Madeline Arendt used the Ornament Box Die as well to create a Christmas box with a more clean and modern look that is so cute! She details an alternate way to assemble the box and her blog post is full of tips and tricks. Head on over and take a peek!
Eileen Hull’s 3-D dies don’t have to be used merely for 3-D projects. Sarah Lizzie shows us how to make a super cute Christmas card using the Vintage Truck Box Die. Get a jump start on your holiday card making and see how she did it on her blog.
Now for a few extra projects from the Inspiration Team…
Elizabeth Robinson finally got her computer working so we can now see her clever use of the Ornament Box Die. Glad the tech pulled through because making it into a snowglobe is fabulous and worth waiting for! The tutorial can be found on Elizabeth’s blog.
In case you didn’t get enough of Jenny Marples’ glamorous Christmas ornaments from last week, she has a fresh batch to share with us now! They are just so pretty and glitzy. I love the addition of pink to the color scheme. More info in Jenny’s blog post!
