“Introducing the Chapter 2, 2023 Eileen Hull/Sizzix collection! You will love this set of dies!

Buy all three dies from my etsy store and get FREE SHIPPING on your order in the US PLUS save an additional $10! Cost to buy dies individually is $122 – buy the bundle and pay only $112. Outside US, I will deduct $10 from shipping.
The new dies:
2023 Chapter 2 Release Die Descriptions:
The Card Case is a Bigz XL ScoreBoards die. This die is specially designed to cut and score thick material up to 1/16″ like matboard, chipboard, leather, felt and fabric so your finished project is nice and sturdy. The finished Card Case die measures 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and has an adjustable spine that goes from 1/2″ to 2 1/2″. This is the perfect size journal to hold your 3″ x 4″ journaling cards, as well as other small items like wallet photos, ATCs and ephemera. There is a swing out flap on each side where you can add pockets or small insert books- you decide what combination you want to do. Make the spine thick or thin – your choice!
The Journaling Card, Envelope & Windows Die Set has 6 pieces – an envelope, 3″ x 4″ Journaling Card, three window cutouts (use with envelope to remove and back with glassine like a window envelope) and a tab. The Envelope measures 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and fits perfectly inside the Journal! Or use it by itself and add your favorite ephemera pieces.
The Mini-Slimline & Tickets Die design is similar to the Snail Mail die, which was very popular for creating faux postage stamps. There are four dies in the set – one is the size of a mini slimline card and one is a mat that may be placed behind the perforated piece. The other two pieces are a row of tickets and mat that goes behind that. When you fold over each perforated piece and tear it, it creates individual faux postage stamps and tickets! Die cut the piece from patterned paper for an amazing background – just add a sentiment and let the paper do the work.
