Hello and welcome to February! This week, the Inspiration Team will show some clever projects made with Eileen Hull’s new Sizzix Dies that can help you get organized in style.

First up we have Maggi Harding’s beautiful recipe card holder she made using the new Sizzix Display Stand Die. She solved her problem of recipe cards getting messed up in the kitchen in a most delightful way. Check out her blog post for all the details!

Projects like these make great gifts too!

Karen Bearse put a clever twist on this card organizer by thinking “out of the box”. Using the Gift Box with Scallop Edges Die, she arranged the die cut pieces in a new way (plus added a dollop of yummy mixed media goodness)! Head to her blog to read the tutorial.

Finally, we have a pretty photo display stand that Pam Bray created with the new Display Stand Die combined with the Trinket Box Die – a favorite die from two years ago. Do you have photo prints stuck in a drawer or scattered around your desk, possibly being used as bookmarks? (maybe…) Display them properly with Pam’s photo frame! She has a great tutorial on her blog.
