New! – Tiny Book and Tiny Book Case Sizzix Dies

15 Apr

Eileen Hull has done it again! The new Tiny Book and Tiny Book Case Dies are making a splash and the fabulous maker projects we’ve been seeing are so creative! Quick and easy to make, the Tiny Book is just 2.5 x 3 inches and fits right into the Tiny Book Case. Super cute comes to mind when tasked with describing these diminutive creations.

The Inspiration Team has been busy!

The Team has more to share with you this week! We’ve been having fun creating with these versatile dies as well. April showers bringing May flowers is the theme of the duo designer Lisa Hoel created. It’s rainy on the outside and blooming on the inside! Peruse her blog post to see all the photos and process.

Next, Julia Aston made a mini keepsake photo album for her little grand niece. It is going to be a birthday treat for Madelyn and chock full of memories. I know she will love it! Take a look at Julia’s blog for all the details and creating tips.

She also has a great tutorial for a different way to bind the pages into the books so check that out on her blog post. Did I mention that I love the papers she used?? Simply fabulous!!

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!

Eileen Hull Release Party Blog Hop

Eileen’s Facebook Live from Tuesday night is right here with a sneak peek at a technique that didn’t go quite as planned 🙁

Thanks so much for joining us for our special event! Leave comments here and on the each of the designer’s blogs on the hop – you will be entered to win the die! Most importantly, be sure to tune in to the Facebopok Live at NOON Eastern. If you miss it, you can watch the replay – undoubtably there will be shenanigans…

Full Steam Ahead for Spring Inspiration

18 Mar

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…

Mitsyana Wright created a sunny and cheerful Gift Box that is sure to lift anyone’s spirits. I love the flowers and little flying bee on top. Check out Mitsyana’s blog post for more photos and complete instructions.

Next we have a fabulous photo project from Anna-Karin Evaldsson. She used a favorite spring photo (those flowers!) and the Display Stand Die to create a home decor photo display piece. It is a quick and easy project (see her blog post to find out how easy!) This is a perfect gift idea (Mother’s Day is coming too…)
