Happy Thought Mini Album with Eileen Hull Inspiration Team

Happy May!!!!

Time for a few tips and techniques from Eileen Hulls Teams!

I created a small journal using the Card Case!

Always think outside the box when you are working with dies.

If you cut two of the panel and small bind you will get a smaller journal that will measure 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".

Adhere together at the 1/2" bind.

Cover the front and inside with pattern paper and decorate bind with pattern paper, scallop borders and layers of washi tape.

Die cut the wreath from the Christmas Wreath and Snowflake Die from pattern paper.

Adhere over Ephemera sentiment.

Add butterfly with pop dots.

Die cut leaves from pattern paper; add to front of wreath with Ephemera flowers.

To create the signatures score 3 1/2" x 9" pattern paper or card stock in half at the 4 1/2" mark.

Corner round the comers.

Decorate pages, tags and labels as you make each signature.

Add a few brads to the top of tags instead of ribbon or twine.

Add pockets to a few of the pages cutting on the diagonal.

Add mini slimline mats to signatures.

Add bits and pieces or stamp on them.

Use small tickets from the mini slimline die to create pullout tabs.

Add die cut ATC cards to create mats for pages.

Die cut Ephemera using ATC Die

Use tickets to create photo mats.

Add Tablecloth Embossed ATC pieces to your pages.

Add pages to Happy Thoughts Journal using elastic.

Tie bow around bind.

Create a closure using elastic, ribbon and button.

Hope you create a smaller journal using the Card Case Die.

Enjoy Pam'

Chapter 2 Release with Eileen Hull Creative Teams

Are you excited!!!! It is Eileen's Chapter 2 Release Day with Sizzix!!! The Inspiration and Education Teams will be sharing all month long the latest release which includes a Card Box with Journaling Card, Envelope with Window and Slimline with Ticket Thinlit Die. They are so versatile and work fabulously with Eileen's other dies!

There's a giveaway too! Comment in the Facebook and YouTube streams and tell us which of Eileen's other dies would work well with this collection. You have until April 10 to post your comments.

Here are a few sneak peeks of the samples I created and will be sharing more details over the next few months!

CARD CASE #666278

This die is specially designed to cut and score thick material up to 1/16" like matboard, chipboard, leather, felt and fabric so your finished project is nice and sturdy. The finished Card Case die measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" and has an adjustable spine that goes from 1/2" to 2 1/2". This is the perfect size journal to hold your 3" x 4" journaling cards, as well as other small items like wallet photos, ATCs and ephemera. There is a swing out flap on each side where you can add pockets or small insert books- you decide what combination you want to do. Make the spine thick or thin- your choice!

JOURNALING CARD, ENVELOPE AND WINDOW

THINLIT #666276

6 pieces- An envelope, 3" x 4" Journaling Card, three window cutouts (use with envelope to remove and back with glassine like a window envelope) and a tab. The Envelope measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" and fits perfectly inside the Journal! Or use it by itself and add your favorite ephemera pieces.

MINI SLIMLINE ND TICKETS THINLIT #666277

The Mini-Slimline & Tickets die design is similar to the Snail Mail die, which was very popular for creating faux postage stamps. There are four dies in the set- one is the size of a mini slimline card and one is a mat that may be placed behind the perforated piece. The other two pieces are a row of tickers and mat that goes behind that. When you fold over each perforated piece and tear it, it creates individual faux postage stamps and tickets! Die cut the piece from patterned paper for an amazing background- just add a sentiment and let the paper do the work.

Watch Eileen's YouTube channel to see die assembly and project ideas! She also does two livestreams each week on Facebook and YouTube-sharing more ideas on how to use these dies in lots of different ways.

Make sure to check out Eileen's Etsy Store to buy all three dies and get FREE SHIPPING on your order in the US PLUS save an additional $10! Cost to buy dies individually is $122- buy the bundle and pay only $112. Outside US, I will deduct $10 from shipping.
