Autumn Leaves Mini Album



AUTUMN LEAVES AND PUMPKINS PLEASE!
It' fall...can you believe it. 
So, time to create a fun filled Fall Album!


Grab your favorite Eileen Hull Designs album dies and begin!
I used the Notebook Die.
Cut pieces from Sizzix Matboard. 
Add paper that has been embossed using the Lacey Leaves Embossing Folder, sand lightly. 
Add ribbon to inside front and back of covers prior to placing paper on. 
REPEAT for inside covers and spine. 
Add pretty pockets on the inside along with a border strip. 


  Cut card bases to fit inside of book. 
Add to inside with elastic. 
Apply glue on the top and bottom edges keeping the front open so it forms a pocket. 


Decorate the front of the album using the Tunnel Arches Thinlit Windowsill Flower and Vase Home Sweet Home add embellishments to front. 


Decorating ideas for the pages using the Tunnel Arches Thinlit and Windowsill Flower and Vase,
Decorate using a mixture of Mintay Autumn Book, Golden Days, and Autumn Splendor Collection.

 Do interesting flap on inside pages for added details. 


Place tags and pockets on pages. 


Emboss as many pages as you can using the Lacey Leaves Embossing Folder.
REMEMBER to lightly sand embossed pieces.   
Cut the Tunnel Arches  to create waterfall pieces. 


Create pockets using the Tunnel Arches and then slide other arches inside. 


Fussy cut images and using premade embellishments gives a lot of detail to all your projects! 
Add some using pop dots and others just apply to pages. 



Create pockets using the Lacey Leaves Embossing Folder and prepared tags, decorate with embellishments. Ink. 
Add to pockets. 


Happy Fall Creating! 
Enjoy Pam!

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.)


CLOSEUP TOP TUNNEL ARCH


CLOSEUP MIDDLE TUNNEL ARCH


CLOSEUP BOTTOM TUNNEL ARCH
