Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Chapter 4 Die collection released at the beginning of the month. (Watch the Release Party replay here if you missed it.) Eileen’s die designs always focus on versatility. She wants us to be able to use them in many ways and provide great value to our creative tool boxes! All month the designers have been sharing their tutorials for their release projects. The possibilities are endless!
About the new release…
Here’s what Eileen has to say about her new dies:
“The Geometric Box is a different kind of design for me. I love the ease of assembly, the unique shape and and the possibility of expanding the box into larger containers! This is a ScoreBoards die so it may be cut from sturdy materials like matboard, chipboard, metal, leather and fabric. The finished box measures 4″ h x 3″ w x 4″ d… or so… a fun feature of this die is that it adapts to how you shape it. You’ll see! Watch my livestream videos to show how to expand the possibilities of this die. Use the Geometric Box for storage – for pencils, silverware, flowers, or tools. The box may also be used as a gift container – imagine adding teabags, a pretty silver spoon and a bow as a get well gift!
The Sunflower is a Bigz L steel rule die – designed to cut and score a myriad of materials. The Sunflower is BIG– it measures about 4″ across and comes with a leaf, three sizes of petals and a flower center! Stack layers of petals to make a traditional sunflower, or change colors and create a pink coneflower. The basic shape is there for you to create your own flowers! Make a stem for the flower using wire and your Twist and Style Tool. The coordinating Geometric Box die works perfectly as a vase.
and a NEW 3-D Embossing Folder!
I love the whimsical patterns of vintage cutlery and that’s why I created this Silverware 3D Embossing Folder! The design is so detailed you can actually see a tiny bride and groom on the handle of a cake server. This folder is perfect for creating seating charts, menus, invitations, cards and recipe books. You would be surprised at the many materials you can emboss – metal, paper, cardboard, Sizzix Texture Roll and more. Once you have embossed the image, rub a light coat of a metallic Luster Wax over the top of the design and you have an amazing result! “

Christmas crafting?
Are you starting to think of Christmas crafting yet? Karen Bearse has and created a fabulous little treat box made with the Geometric Box Die and embossed with Eileen’s Woven Leather 3D Embossing Folder. I love that silver tone! Check out Karen’s tutorial on her blog.
In another wonderful Geometric Box project, Madeline incorporated the new Sizzix Cork Surfacez and made a double box. Such a great idea! I think it would be a nice hostess gift and has such a great rustic look! All the details are on Madeline’s blog.
