Wrapping Up Card Bonanza Month!

What a month of inspiration we’ve had! We’re wrapping up our card bonanza and we hope that you’ve gotten lots of ideas for your own creative projects. As we’ve seen, Eileen Hull’s dies and stamps are perfect for creating 3-D and 2-D makes! Let’s take a look at what we have to share this week…

Madeline Arendt created a whole batch of darling Halloween cards using the Skinny Mini Card Box Die to make the card bases. Clever! Be sure to visit her blog post to see all the cute cards she came up with.

Eileen Hull Chapter 3 Release Wrap-up!

Here we are at the end of August and it’s time for the Chapter 3 release wrap-up! We’ve been sharing all month long and hope you have found ideas and techniques to use in your own projects. Go to this link to watch the Release Party replay if you missed it at the beginning of the month. Here is what Eileen has to say about her new dies,

“I am so excited to share my Chapter 3 Sizzix die collection! Each piece in the set stands alone but also coordinates with the others to make a truly versatile and valuable addition to your collection.

The ScoreBoards Skinny Mini Book Box is a really great size – it measures 6 3/4″ x 4″ with an adjustable built in spine from 3/8″ to 2 1/4″. This die may be used to create a book by die cutting two covers OR a box if you add the side pieces to the covers. If you add the box supports, it will hold mini-slimline size cards.

The Skinny Mini Elements Thinlits will cut a cool star pattern that perfectly covers the front of the Skinny Mini book or the front of a slimline card. And you can also expand the size of the design to create a whole page pattern.

I have been wanting to make a Card Caddy Die for a while… so many people are making cards these days that I figured that they would love to have the ability to make a really pretty container to hold them. I love the shape of this box and it goes together so quickly – also fun to decorate! It will hold cards up to 5 1/4″ wide.

The 3D folder is called Woven Leather and it looks so realistic! Makes a great background for cards, journal pages or covers.“

‘Out of the box’ thinking:

Lastly, super clever Susie Bentz turned the Skinny Mini Book Box into a cigar box with a pull out drawer! Whaaaat?? I love it! This is such a great idea to use the die to make a gift box and could be adapted to all sorts of themes. Susie shows you how to create it in her blog tutorial.

Eileen’s dies are perfect for card making and other “2-D” applications like scrapbook pages! Designer Susie Bentz created a dreamy layout using a photo from her wedding day and the Skinny Mini Elements Die (as well as the Heart Mandala Die). The handy thing about the Elements Die is that you can repeat your cuts to make as big a piece as you like. Susie shows how in her tutorial.
