Did you miss Eileen Hull’s new Chapter 3 Die Release Party at the beginning of the month? Go to this link to watch the Party replay! The inspiration was fabulous! For the rest of the month the designers will be sharing tutorials for their amazing projects made with the new Chapter 3 dies. Here is what Eileen has to say about her new dies,
“I am so excited to share my Chapter 3 Sizzix die collection! Each piece in the set stands alone but also coordinates with the others to make a truly versatile and valuable addition to your collection.
The ScoreBoards Skinny Mini Book Box is a really great size – it measures 6 3/4″ x 4″ with an adjustable built in spine from 3/8″ to 2 1/4″. This die may be used to create a book by die cutting two covers OR a box if you add the side pieces to the covers. If you add the box supports, it will hold mini-slimline size cards.
The Skinny Mini Elements Thinlits will cut a cool star pattern that perfectly covers the front of the Skinny Mini book or the front of a slimline card. And you can also expand the size of the design to create a whole page pattern.
I have been wanting to make a Card Caddy Die for a while… so many people are making cards these days that I figured that they would love to have the ability to make a really pretty container to hold them. I love the shape of this box and it goes together so quickly – also fun to decorate! It will hold cards up to 5 1/4″ wide.
The 3D folder is called Woven Leather and it looks so realistic! Makes a great background for cards, journal pages or covers.“

Onward to the inspiration…
Tonya Trantham created a beautiful little box using the Skinny Mini Book Box Die in her signature shabby chic style. I love how Tonya always combines multiple elements in such a pleasing way. Visit her blog to see her tutorial!
Designer Jenny Marples created a Skinny Mini Book Box Die project also and turned it into a journal. I’m always a big fan of Jenny’s mixed media wonders and this make is no exception! You will not want to miss the extensive tutorial to be found on her blog.
‘Out of the box’ thinking:
Lastly, super clever Susie Bentz turned the Skinny Mini Book Box into a cigar box with a pull out drawer! Whaaaat?? I love it! This is such a great idea to use the die to make a gift box and could be adapted to all sorts of themes. Susie shows you how to create it in her blog tutorial.
