Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies and Springing out of March

25 Mar

What a month! We are almost through it. I hope that you’ve had a chance to be crafty and try some new things. The Team has some more Eileen Hull Sizzix dies inspiration for you before we spring out of March. The theme all month has been, of course, Spring! Bring on the green and the flowers!

Scroll on for a feast for your eyes…

Lisa Hoel has forsaken the terrestrial and created a fanciful undersea mermaid’s garden in the form of a shaker card as a gift for her sister in law’s birthday. The card base is made with the Display Stand Die. Head on over to Lisa’s blog to find out how she made it!

Team member Julia Aston also used the Display Stand die to create a timely project for the state of our world right now. I love the sentiment and totally agree with it. Be sure to reach out (from at least six feet away 😉 ) and spread some love and kindness. Check out Julia’s blog post for project info.

For another example of crafting being good for the soul, Elizabeth Robinson used the Gift Box with Scallop Edges Die to make a little box to hold prayers written on die cut slips of paper. What a fabulous idea! Visit her blog for more photos and the tutorial.

Full Steam Ahead for Spring Inspiration

Slowly but surely spring is arriving! A few more of my early flowers have started to bloom and I got a little bit of garden cleanup done today. As usual, the Inspiration Team has not let us down and we have four lovely projects to share using the newest Eileen Hull Dies and a spring theme. Paper flowers can bloom at any time of the year!

The newest Eileen Hull Dies are perfect for spring projects…

Clever Ways of Using Eileen Hull’s New Sizzix Dies

20 Feb

The Inspiration Team has been at it again! They have come up with some unusual and clever ways to use her new Sizzix dies. Read on to see…

First up we have Elizabeth Robinson. How many times have you lost little dies in the flotsam of your craft table? (Come on now, let’s see a show of hands. 😉 ) Well, Elizabeth very cleverly used the Display Stand Die and a magnet sheet to make a handy holder to keep those metal bits in one place while you are creating. It works well for pins, needles and other bits when you are sewing too! Check out her blog post to see.

Elizabeth Robinson for Eileen Hull – a clever use of the Sizzix Display Stand Die, never lose your dies in the creative mess on your desk again! #mymakingstory #sizzix #eileenhull

Tonya Trantham thought completely outside the box and used parts of the new Gift Box with Scallop Edges Die combined with the Trinket Box Die to make a cute notepad holder. Now that is a great idea! Take a look and go visit her blog to see how she made it:
