March has come to an end. What a month of inspiration it’s been! The designers used fibers, fabric and felt in their creations and they did a stupendous job. Eileen’s dies (steel rule and Thinlits) cut easily through fabric and felt so the crafty possibilities are endless. We have some bonus projects and ideas to look at this week so let’s get going…
Lisa Hoel got stitchy with her felt and fabric journal cover. The cover pieces were cut out of thick felt using the Book Box Die and then covered with oodles of embroidery and appliqued wool plaid fabric pieces. See more over on Lisa’s blog post!
Guess what material Madeline Arendt used in her stationery Book Box mashup? Wood veneer and she decorated it with pyrography! Wow! She also made a set of notecards to go inside featuring flowers and the Snail Mail Die Set. Find out all her secrets in her post.
Jennie Atkinson made a perfectly lovely folio journal using the Book Box Die. It has a beautiful flowery spring vibe and the inside is full of delightful pockets, flaps, tags and other interactive elements. Find more and a video on Jennie’s blog.
More to see, keep on going…
Susie Bentz just couldn’t stop making cards using fabric and the Snail Mail Die Set so she has more to share with us today. It’s such a fun idea and you could easily make a sets of them for gifts or holiday themed to send out to friends and family. Take a look at this darling Easter card she made:
Carrying on the fibers, fabric and felt theme, Elizabeth Robinson made us a video flip through of her fabulous ‘Beautiful Moments‘ junk journal from earlier in the month. You can find it on her YouTube channel here.
Last but not least, Tonya Trantham wins the day with her totally awesome die storage up-cycling project! She turned an old dresser drawer into a sturdy rolling cart to house her Eileen Hull Scoreboards die. She rolls it under a sideboard in her craft room for easy access. Brilliant! Check it out here.
Tune in next week for exciting new dies from Eileen Hull!
