Eileen Hull Release Party Blog Hop – New Dies Are Here!

1 Apr

EH-Release-Party-Blog-hop — Eileen Hull Release Party Blog Hop

Thanks for joining us for the Eileen Hull Release Party Blog Hop!

Above all, we are so excited to share the new dies with you! You will be totally inspired by the wide range of creations you will be able to make. So, get ready to hop!

The Tiny Book measures 2 1/4” x 3” and is just the right size for wallet size photos, stamps, quotes, tags or tiny cards. Consequently, it is so quick to make – and great cut using scraps. Of course, when you buy a ScoreBoards die, that means that you can cut from a large range of materials, like matboard, chipboard, leather, fabric and felt!

If you haven’t gotten your hands on a Tiny Book and Tiny Book Case yet, you can find them at your local retailer or in Eileen’s Etsy store.

Eileen designed the Tiny Book Case to perfectly hold the Tiny Book. However, it will also hold a gift card, credit cards, small calendar, gifts, and jewelry. The box measures 3 1/2″ x 2 5/8″ x 5/8″- perfect size for all the tiny things!

Assuredly, the Inspiration Team is excited they can finally share their Sizzix Chapter 2 projects. All throughout April, the designers will be sharing tutorials and videos! Now, please hop down the list to see what the team has been working on. Leave a comment on each of the designer’s posts by April 6, you will be entered to win a Tiny Book die! On Eileen’s Facebook Live on Tuesday, April 7, the winner will be announced. Tune in!
