Sneak Peek of Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Chapter 3 Dies!

6 Jul

Are you ready???

Eileen Hull’s Chapter 3 Sizzix Die Release Party is coming! This week is sneak peek time and then next Tuesday, July 11th is the live release party and hop! Eileen’s Inspiration and Education Teams designers have created SO many fabulous projects – you will have your socks knocked off for sure.

Here’s a little sneak peek of a mere sampling of the projects!

Once again Eileen has designed a collection of versatile dies that are perfect for your crafting arsenal.

Here is what Eileen has to say about Chapter 3…
The Bigz Plus* Slotted Treat Box Die measures 6 1/2” x 5” x 3 1/2” and can hold so many things – a set of cards, journals, doll clothes, ephemera storage or you can even use it as a gift box! This is a Scoreboards die which is specially designed to cut and score thick material like matboard, chipboard, leather, felt, fabric and metal. *A 9” wide machine is required to cut this die.

The Field Notes and Specimen Card Die is a Bigz XL die that holds 5” x 7” pages or photos – a new orientation! The Specimen Card may be used to hold photos, as a journaling card or a shaker. Holes are pre-cut into the book spine which is adjustable from 1/2” to 1 1/2 in width. *XL Cutting Pads will be needed to cut the book cover.

The Envelope, Folder & Flowers Thinlits Die Set is made up of nine dies – an adorable mini envelope, file folder, set of small, medium and large hearts, and a large and small flower and leaf set. This die set will be perfect to create ephemera using your scraps!

The Keys 3D Embossing Folder is special to me. The keys all came from my Dad’s house. The names on the keys had to be removed because of possible copyright issues, but I love the idea of stamping or writing words on them. The detail on this is beautiful and I can’t wait to add Luster Wax to make the design pop!

Don’t be satisfied with just this little sneak peek!

Join us for our Chapter 3 Release Party on Tuesday, July 11 at 12:00 pm ET! It will be streamed on Eileen Hull Designs on Facebook and Eileen’s YouTube channel. Meet her team and see their fantastic makes using these dies and make sure to follow our blog hop. We have prizes! Just comment in the Release Party chat and let us know which is your new favorite die or folder and what you would make with it to be eligible to win something from this collection!

As we know, it’s the little details that can really make a project! This June, we are focusing on using Eileen’s dies to make journal fodder – those little bits and pieces that make your journal pages sing. Let’s see what inspiration the designers have for us this week…

Jenny Marples made a huge pile of fodder using dies and Eileen’s Maker Forte stamps and then combined it to make gorgeous journal pages. It’s great to just make a stash and have it at the ready for larger projects! See all the details on Jenny’s blog post.

Making Journal Fodder – Build a Stash!

15 Jun

Making journal fodder (all those fun bits for layering and tucking into a journal project) is our theme for June and we’re having a blast with it! Just sitting and making bits and pieces to build a stash is lots of fun. No need to have a specific project in mind. Go for it and they are sure to come in handy for future projects.

Maggi Harding created a whole pile of a variety of different fodder bits. Making fodder is a great way to use up leftover scraps from other projects too. Pay her blog a visit to see all the details.

June Journal Fodder with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

Well, here we find ourselves in a new month and that means a new theme for June! Journal Fodder is our subject for creative contemplation this time around. Envelopes, mini books, tags, tickets, ephemera… think about all the bits and pieces that can be incorporated into a larger journal project. Create a stash so they are at the ready when you dive into a full fledged make!

Pam Bray kicks us off right with a wonderful little organizer to hold all those ephemera bits as you are building your stash. The box perfectly holds a set of envelopes made with the Journaling Card, Envelope & Window Thinlits Die Set. See the tutorial on her blog and learn to make your own!
