Sizzix Eileen Hull new release

Hi everyone, hope you managed to catch the launch party on Eileen Hull’s facebook group yesterday – if not it’s worth checking out.

I’m back today with the rest of the projects I made with her new Chapter 2 release. First project is this sea themed Card Case. I used papers from Stamperia to create this kind of steam punk/ocean themed case with lots of texture.

I covered some Sizzix mat board with the papers, and covered with a clear varnish. I dry brushed some metallic paint over the cover in places, and added some textured embossing powder to give a rusty/patina look. I added the pocket on one side, and added some cards cut with the journaling die set as well as some tags.

On the other side, I added a little notebook – also covered with some of the papers.

I created a fastening with Sizzix Texture roll in the tan colour. I used some magnets from Carnation Crafts to hold the fastening in place.

For my next project I created another Card Case – this time a more simple design where I chopped off the folding part so it’s more of a little notebook/journal than a case.

I covered the mat board with Sizzix Texture roll in white, then took another piece of texture roll and embossed it with the Tim Holtz Mosaic embossing folder. I used Oxide sprays and Foundry wax and gold acrylic paint to give it some texture.

For the inside, I made some envelopes with the Journaling card, Envelope & Window die set, and attached them to the inside with the Bookbinding and Label die set that came out last year.

Finally for today, a couple of cards showing the fabulous Mini Slimline & Tickets die set. So many different ways to use these, so I’m looking forward to making more cards with them.

That’s it for today. Make sure you check out Eileen Hull’s blog and Facebook group to see all the inspiration there – her DT really have come up with some amazing projects.

Sizzix Eileen Hull Chapter 2 Blog Hop

It’s another amazing release from Eileen Hull. I just love how versatile her designs are, and that they are basically blank canvases, for any style you choose. Make sure you pop by her FB page or YouTube channel today to catch the launch. All the participants for the blog hop can be found on her website http://www.eileenhull.com

I’ve got some more projects to share over the next couple of days but today I’m just going to share this one, it’s a little recipe book made using the new Card Case Bigz die.

So let’s start with what’s in this release. First is the Bigz die – the Card Case. It’s a Scoreboards XL die, so that means it can be used with either the standard Big Shot, or the Plus/Switch. You just need the extended cutting pads if you’re using it with the standard Big Shot, Foldaway or the Express. I’ll put links at the end of this post to everything you might need.

The next die in this release is the Journaling Card, Envelope and Window. This is really an add-on to any journalling dies you already have. It creates a really cool envelope and journalling card, with options to add a window and customise it. The card fits perfectly in the little pocket you create in the Card Case, so it’s great if you want to use it to create your own ephemera, or add photos or journaling. It’s a thinlits die set so will work with most die cutting machines.

Final die set in this release is the Mini Slimline and Tickets. This is similar to the Snail Mail version out last year. I can be used to create an interesting background or you can snip along the dots to create apertures, or individual tickets (great to use with ticket style stamps, or for sentiments). You get one larger panel and then a strip.

Back to today’s project. I had some really nice papers from Studio Light that had featured on a show I did on Create and Craft TV. I really loved the papers, and the kind of Tuscan feel they had, so I decided to theme my Card Case around those. Since they have a bit of a lemon theme, I thought a recipe book would be a great way to use them. I looked up some lemon recipes and used the cards from the Journaling Card die set to make little recipe cards, then decorated the whole thing with the papers.

I picked out some of the die cut elements from the paper pad to decorate the reverse side of the recipes and to add more cards.

With the Card Case, it’s kind of double sided, and wraps around itself, so could be used in many ways, and you can choose whether to add the pocket, and whether you want it on both sides or just one.

I decided to just add one pocket to put my recipe cards in, then to create a thin pocket on the other side to add tags. Then in the centre, I added a little note book, which is attached to the spine of the case with elastic cord.

Where the case wraps round, I added a little vellum sentiment along with a die cut.

I used the little button from the Bigz die on the inside of the spine to hold the ribbon in place to create a fastening.

I was so pleased with this. It’s a great way to use up some of those lovely scrapbook papers you’ve been hoarding!

I’ll be back tomorrow with some more projects from this release.

In the meantime, pop to Eileen Hull’s Facebook Group (Eileen Hull Fanclub) or her FB page (Eileen Hull Designs, or her YouTube channel to watch the launch, and leave a comment saying what other dies from her collection you think would work with this release for the chance to win a giveaway.

Eileen Hull Sizzix Chapter 4 Launch Party

Chapter 4 is finally here! Each release is so exciting and it never gets old…

Eileen has 3 products in this release, all a little bit different.

First up is the Geometric box, here’s what Eileen had to say about it…

The Geometric Box is a different kind of design for me. I love the ease of assembly, the unique shape and and the possibility of expanding the box into larger containers! This is a ScoreBoards die so it may be cut from sturdy materials like matboard, chipboard, metal, leather and fabric. The finished box measures 4” h x 3” w x 4” d… or so… a fun feature of this die is that it adapts to how you shape it. You’ll see 🙂 Watch my livestream videos to show how to expand the possibilities of this die.

Use the Geometric Box for storage- for pencils, silverware, flowers, or tools. The box may also be used as a gift container- imagine adding teabags, a pretty silver spoon and a bow as a get well gift!

And here’s my project using the Geometric box, I decided to make a little gift box, using Rose Gold Texture roll to cover my box, and then I cut some extra panels and embossed them with the Acorns embossing folder by Tim Holtz. I had some ceramic knobs lying around and I thought the bright blue would look lovely against the rose gold. I created a little hinge for the lid, just with a couple of strips of texture roll.

Next is the beautiful sunflower…..

The Sunflower is a Bigz L steel rule die- designed to cut and score a myriad of materials. The Sunflower is BIG- it measures about 4″ across and comes with a leaf, three sizes of petals and a flower center! Stack layers of petals to make a traditional sunflower, or change colors and create a pink coneflower. The basic shape is there for you to create your own flowers! Make a stem for the flower using wire and your Twist and Style Tool. The coordinating Geometric Box die works perfectly as a vase.

I love the big bold size of the sunflower, it would be great cut from felt for home decor projects. I have other things in mind for this, as I like Autumn projects and feel that the sunflower works so well with Autumn schemes. I decided to make a card and combine the sunflower with one of the new Sizzix Stencil sets.

Last up for this release is a fabulous 3D embossing folder. I love the vintage style to this. Here’s what Eileen had to say about it…..

I love the whimsical patterns of vintage cutlery and that’s why I created this Silverware 3D embossing folder! The design is so detailed you can actually see a tiny bride and groom on the handle of a cake server.

This folder is perfect for creating seating charts, menus, invitations, cards and recipe books. You would be surprised at the many materials you can emboss- metal, paper, cardboard, Sizzix texture roll and more. Once you have embossed the image, rub a light coat of a metallic Luster Wax over the top of the design and you have an amazing result!

I haven’t had a chance to make anything with the embossing folder yet, but I have lots of ideas! I’m on Create and Craft TV with this new release on 17/18th October so by then I should have lots of fabulous projects to share with you!

GIVEWAY – Enter the giveaway! Join us at 5pm UK time/12.00 Eastern on Tuesday 4 October in the Eileen Hull FB group or YouTube. Comment below the Release Party video and answer this question, “What would you create with these dies?” We loved hearing all your amazing ideas last time and want to hear more! Extra points for creativity 🙂 There will be two winners- one on Facebook and one on YouTube. Entries closed at 5:00 pm on Oct. 10. Winners will be announced on Eileen’s Tuesday 10/11 livestream.”

Sizzix Eileen Hull Chapter 3 Release Party

Today is launch day for Eileen’s new Sizzix release, it’s a fabulous collection and I can’t wait to bring these dies and embossing folders to Create and Craft in a couple of week’s time.

First, there’s a look at all the elements:

Here’s the info from Eileen herself on her thinking behind this collection –

“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”.

I’m already thinking that card caddy’s filled with cards would make lovely Christmas presents, so that’s something else to add to my ‘to do’ list!

I’m also very happy to have another journal option – I absolutely love making journals, and how lovely does the Skinny Mini Elements die look on the front?

It also looks beautiful on a card front (and of course the card fits nicely inside both the book and the caddy).

SO NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT INFO!

There’s a blog hop to celebrate the launch as well as a FB live. Pop over to Eileen’s blog for all the details. There’s also some prizes, so make sure you catch the live!

I’ll be on Create and Craft TV on the 22 August with the release, so you can expect to see more creations and inspiration from me over the next couple of weeks.

Sizzix Eileen Hull Shadow Box dies

I made this lovely framed piece recently for a Facebook live, so thought I’d share some instructions on making it.

I used the largest frame die from the Shadow Box #2 set for the frame, and cut it four times to make a square.

This frame measures 15.5cm x 15.5cm, so I cut a piece of kraft card that size for the backing, then added some pale aqua card to the front.

I then used a Tim Holtz stencil (THS004) to add some uneven stripes with Sizzix Texture paste. I then added some Prima Sparks acrylic paint on top, in a rainbow. For the rest of the background I did a little bit of stamping in brown ink (Tim Holtz Papillon and Studio Light Jenine’s Mindful Art Collection). Once the ink had dried I dry-brushed some gesso on the background.

To create a little ledge for the houses, I cut two strips of mat board and stuck them back to back, then covered with a piece of frayed burlap. I cut the houses from kraft card and backed them with some patterned paper and an old book page. I added them with foam pads to give a bit of dimension.

I then dry-brushed some gesso on the frame, on the front and sides, then added some Tim Holtz Crackle Texture paste with a spatula and set aside to dry.

Thanks for popping by today, I’ll list below the main products used.

More Sizzix Eileen Hull Shadow Boxes

I’m back to share some more shadow boxes ahead of my Sizzix shows on Create and Craft this Thursday and Friday. It’s a One Day Special, so I’ll be on at 6pm and 9pm on Thursday 19th, and 10am and 2pm on Friday 20th. Hope you can join me!

Of course, you don’t have to use die cuts with the shadow boxes, they are great for creating frames for your favourite stamped artwork. For this one I used one of the Miss Dee stamp sets by Aall & Create as I thought this one in particular worked really well with the dies.

Sizzix Eileen Hull Shadow Box dies on Create & Craft TV 19/20 May

Gosh I’m so excited for these shows. I have been so happy making all these projects. I have literally not left my craft studio the whole week I was making them except to eat and sleep!

So this is the Chapter 2 release from Eileen Hull, and unusually for her, this release doesn’t have any Bigz dies, there are 3 thinlit die sets, along with a stunning 3-D embossing folder called Crochet.

There are two sets that include the different size ‘sides’ to the shadow box. Shadow Box 1 allows you to create a small square frame, then Shadow Box 2 has a medium and large die, so you can create a landscape frame (as above). But of course, you can interchange the sizes, and say, just use the two longer sides of this one to create a larger square frame.

Then there’s a set called Shadow Box Elements that has some gorgeous little houses along with lots of other dies to decorate your frames. There are also extra elements in the frame sets.

I love the variety of elements in these sets, and the houses are just adorable. They are just as fabulous on cards as they are to create shadow boxes.

They also work so well with other die sets – for this square frame I used the largest shadowbox die and the Wild Blooms 1 die set.

I kind of replicated the project from the packaging photo for this one – it shows off all the little elements really nicely.

I’ve got lots more projects to share, so will pop back soon with more!

Sizzix Eileen Hull Shadow Box dies

Eileen has some beautiful dies in this latest Chapter 2 release from Sizzix. I haven’t had a chance to play with them properly yet, but I do have shows on Create and Craft in May with them, so I’m looking forward to making lots more projects.

For today though, this is the first project I’ve made.

I used the Shadowbox Frames #1 die set together with the Crochet Mandala embossing folder, and the ‘home’ label is from the Shadowbox Elements set.

I went for a very simple colour scheme for this one. As it was my first time working out how to use the shadowbox dies, I used some cream card to cut the frame. (Creative Expressions Coconut White card).

It’s so simple to put together, you just cut the die four times, then fold on the score lines, and add red line tape to the tabs. It literally takes seconds.

I decided to cut a piece of the same card for a background, embossed with the embossing folder. That way it also looks really pretty from the back.

Then I decided to decorate with flowers and leaves from the set, sticking with a really muted colour scheme. I added three flowers to the centre – two are popped up on foam tape to give some dimension, then I added some of the leaves to the corner of the frame, along with some little dots of Tonic Nuvo Drops to look like little shiny pearls.

For the Home label, I used the elements from the Shadowbox Elements die set, and inlayed the letters back into the label in a pale pink. I just love the colour combo of the pale pink and kraft card.

I can’t wait to start playing with the larger shadow box now. Especially since Sizzix have some lovely new cardstock in muted tones – I think it’s going to work so well with these dies.

I’ve listed all the products below, thanks for stopping by.
