It’s time for a closer look at the newest Sizzix dies from Eileen Hull! Did you catch Eileen’s March 1st live for her die release? It was packed full of inspiring projects made using Eileen’s new dies! For the month of March, we’ve been taking a closer look at the project tutorials from the Release Party.
Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:
I’m so happy to introduce this brand new collection of mine from Sizzix! As always, I try to create designs that may be used together but also stand alone. There are four pieces in this set.
The Storage Box is an XL ScoreBoard die measuring 4” square, the largest square box yet! This box is constructed with a removable top and may be used in many ways, such as organizing desk and office supplies, as a gift box, storing craft supplies and packaging for baked treats.
The Mini Book is one of my favorites because you can create a book using this die in an evening, and use up your scraps in the process. This book measures 3 3/4” x 2 1/4” and comes with a strap/handle and tiny label for the book cover. It also makes a great bag topper if you fold it in the middle and also will hold a business card. Die cut it from felt and stitch up a tiny wallet!
There is a new Thinlits called Faux Postage – the full panel is designed to fit on a 5” x 7” card and creates a fun postage stamp effect. You can also cut (or tear) each stamp apart and use the individual pieces as a miniature work of art! These dies coordinate with similar dies: Snail Mail (A-2 card size) and Mini Slimline (6” x 3”).
The Lace 3D Embossing Folder is so amazing! It’s a new LARGE size measuring 8 1/2” x 5 3/4”. It works great on bigger journal covers, card backgrounds and on home decor pieces. This is created from vintage lace that I have collected and there are so many ways I want to use this!
Onward to the project inspiration!
Designer Jenny Marples created a fabulous mixed media Mini Book Die project that is stuffed full of creative goodness! The cover features a Lace embossed panel and the inside has a collection of Faux Postage stamps plus more. Find all the details and lots of photos in Jenny’s blog post.
Maggi Harding created a lovely Victorian inspired Storage Box. So beautiful! Wouldn’t this make a wonderful gift box for a Mother’s Day present? Find all the details and a tutorial on Maggi’s blog!
Let’s get practical…
Elizabeth Robinson has a project to share that is functional and beautiful! To keep from losing die parts and bits in the in project progress desk mess that often occurs, she make a working folder to corral them. It features a magnetic sheet to hold Thinlits dies and pockets for parts. Brilliant! Find out how to make one in her blog.
Lisa Hoel is sharing a closer look at one of her ecclectic Mini Book projects. Inside is an accordion album filled with stamping, die cuts and ephemera! So much stuff packed in! Check it out on her blog.
Tonya Trantham also has a romantic floral themed Storage Box project to share. It’s definitely pretty in pink with all those layers and trims! See more on Tonya’s blog.
