Eileen Hull Sizzix Oct Release Party – Hats, Charms, Earrings, Books, and more . . . Oh My!

Hello All,

Some exciting inspiration coming your way. This Eileen Hull Sizzix release was designed with journaling in mind, but the sky is the limit! I focused more on projects, but this is a great release for art journalers as well! If you have never journaled before, this collection of seven products is a great place to start! If you have been journaling for a while, you will want to add these items to your stash- the pieces are very versatile and will coordinate with many of the other dies you may already have.

At the bottom of the post, I’m sharing some projects I created with these awesome dies, stencils and stamps. Originally intended for art journaling, I used them to create some jewelry and apparel. These are a great addition to the add to my stash of tools, as I do sell hats and other hand created leather goods.

Check out the party on Instagram for prizes, inspiration and more surrounding this release. You can find more HERE. Feel free to follow me if you’re looking for inspiration, especially western and leather apparel and crafts.

The base die is the 5” x 5” x 1” Mini-Album, a Scoreboard die specially designed to cut and score thick material AND it cuts in one pass- so easy and quick! You can also use this die to cut the pages that go inside. There are three accessory Thinlits dies: Floral Pocket and Paperclips, Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers and Charms that cut pockets, bookmarks, embellishments, paper clips, charms and extras that may be used to decorate the pages of the book. There is a stamp set called Fan Favorites with 61 words and phrases to use inside the book, on cards, and tags! Plate and Pattern is a four layer stencil- each layer may be used separately or all together. Create page backgrounds, use on your gel plate, outline and stitch the design on fabric or to trace shapes and fill in with watercolor. The Floral Damask multi-level 3D embossing folder creates a beautiful background useful for journal pages, cards and tags!

Join me in exploring these products at our Release Party on October 22 at noon ET streaming to Facebook, Instagram and YouTube @eileenhull! You will see lots of great ideas and inspiration by the amazingly talented Team and also ask any questions you may have.

There will also be a livestream where many of the designers will be sharing what they’ve created. That happens at 6:00 ET and Thursdays at 4:00 so watch for that. If you miss it live, you can watch on replay. There will be prizes and lots of fun!

Wishing you much inspiration as you explore this new product.

The Hat

I created a hat using leather and Eileen’s new dies, stencils and stamps. Can you spot them? Tip – spritz a thin leather with water and run through your die machine to get a crisp impression. Note, I also made a rose of leather using Eileen’s button embossing folder.

Leather Earrings and Matching Boot Charms

Leather Western Inspired Necklace
