Always Believe in Your Dreams Playing Card


ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS PLAYING CARD

The challenge was to use YOUR FAVORITE TWO COLORS! 
Who doesn't love to see purple and teal together!
".  49 and Market Collection are just the perfect melody when creating playing cards! 
All the pieces match so nicely; quick and easy to craft when you just have a few minutes. 
Always remember to add a bit of metal, thread, layers, etc. to give that added dimension!

Hidden Creek HOME Layout - Eileen Hull Designs Sept RELEASE


GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS!!!!
EILEEN HULL DESIGNS September Release!!!
How EXCITING!!!!

Eileen's collection was inspired by nature and the cozy feeling of home. It was designed to coordinate with the Handbound Journal (sold separately) to create a tunnel book, but each die set also stands beautifully on its own and can be used in so many creative ways!
A bold, intricate lacy pattern measuring 6” x 8 ½”—perfectly sized for journal covers and cards. This design was inspired by an actual piece of lace from my collection that reminded me of leaves. I love the mix of nature and lace! Whether you emboss or deboss the pattern, the result is simply beautiful.
This 24-piece set includes layered forest animals (deer, fox, bunny, squirrel, and butterflies), pine trees, grassy hills, greenery, clouds, sun, moon, and a cozy house. The sweet deer alone makes this set worth it! Perfect for holiday projects, baby themes, everyday cards, journals, and tags.
A 13-die set designed to coordinate with the Tunnel Arches. The window die matches the largest arch, letting you build a 3D scene that looks as though you’re peering through a window. The tiny vase and flowers (yes, I had to make them that small for scale!) are wonderful for using scraps. The little lacy piece also makes a lovely accent for junk journal pockets and cards.
Who knew arches could be so versatile? Make a rainbow! Use the negative cuts to create graduated windows in journals, cards, and home décor, or the positive pieces as card bases and tags—nothing goes to waste! This 7-die nesting set ranges in size from 4 ½” x 3 ¼” down to teeny-tiny (so cute!). They were designed to fit perfectly inside the Handbound Journal if you’d like to try your hand at a tunnel book. 


I created a HOME layout using all of the new dies!
Can you find them?


Create layered banners underneath your photo using the Tunnel Arches Thinlit.


Add a smaller tunnel arch to the top along with HOME using the Tiled Alphanumeric.

(HINT: Each photo is a step out process of using the die cuts.)
