Time marches on to… March! Can you believe we are already two months in to the year? I guess time flies too. 😉 Anyhow, we have a fun new theme for you Eileen Hull fans! This month we are creating with fibers, fabric and felt! Eileen Hull’s Sizzix dies cut through felt and fabric beautifully as you will see and fibers add the perfect accent to so many projects. Let’s see what the Inspiration Team has for us to kick off the month…
Designer Pam Bray created a beautiful little sewing essentials box using the Book Box Die for the structure. She also embellished it with fibers and used Eileen’s new Maker Forte stamps sets Snail Mail Postage and Button Cards #2. They all make a winning combination! See the how-to and many more photos over on Pam’s blog.
Jennie Atkinson worked her shabby chic magic and crafted this gorgeous make! I love how she layered the lace, fabric, trims and all the bits. She also utilized Eileen’s new stamp sets and you will want to see what she did inside. Check out all the photos and Jennie’s technique tips in her blog post.
Rounding out this trio of fabulous Book Boxes is Karen Bearse’s dazzling Klimt box. Wow! Gold leaf and glam for the win Karen! The front piece is 3 dimensional and Karen made it using resin and a Stamperia mold. We can’t forget the rustic fibers attaching all those cool charms and beads to the closure too. Head on over to Karen’s blog to learn her secrets and get a look at what is inside her box.
Join us next week for more fibers, fabric, and felt makes!
