By partnering with Maker Forte, Eileen Hull’s stamps bring you a brand new product line that integrates with Eileen’s dies (Snail Mail Thinlits, we’re looking at you!) These next two sets are being released today. (If you missed the first two releases, look HERE and HERE.) Eileen’s Inspiration and Education Teams have been hard at work to bring you a ton of inspiration! Let’s take a look at Eileen’s new stamp release and see what she has to say about them:
Postage stamps and envelopes have always fascinated me – I collected them as a child. My family and neighbors would give me their old envelopes to play with. There was so much to be discovered on each envelope! Like… where and when the letter was sent, who it was from (you can tell a lot by people’s handwriting), etc. It was endlessly fascinating to wonder about the people sending and receiving the mail. I was so intrigued that I actually began writing to a pen pal who lived in IL and was one of 12 kids. Talk about fascinating 🙂 I loved the miniature art on the envelopes – stamps! I would tear them off and organize them into all different categories.
The thought of re-creating some of the cancellation stamps and other postal references as stamps just makes me so happy! I designed the stamps to coordinate with the Snail Mail – Everyday Sentiments frame, and also the Sizzix Snail Mail Die – love when products work together to create a cool end result!
The first Button Cards stamp set that I designed sold out right away so I decided to design another set… and even personalized them a little 🙂 This set contains button cards in three different sizes (the smallest is just so adorable <3) You can stitch real physical buttons on the cards and then use them in card-making, journal-making or sewing projects, or draw buttons on by hand. The cards are so much fun to decorate and put in your journals or tuck into pockets!
Inspiration ahead!
