Chapter Two Blog Hopping with Eileen Hull: Boho Trinket Box

Hi everyone! Today is the day! Thanks for joining us for the Eileen Hull Release Party Blog Hop! The Inspiration Team is excited they can finally share their Sizzix Chapter 2 projects. All throughout April, the designers will be sharing tutorials and videos!
The Tiny Book measures 2 1/4” x 3” and is just the right size for wallet size photos, stamps, quotes, tags or tiny cards. The Tiny Book Case is designed to hold the book, a gift card, earrings, or small treats. If you haven’t gotten your hands on a Tiny Book and Tiny Book Case yet, you can find them at your local retailer, HERE or in Eileen’s ETSY Store.

I created a little trinket box with the Tiny Book Case. I started by applying Adhesive Sheets to both sides of the Matboard before placing patterned cardstock to both sides of the matboard. I placed the diecut on top of the matboard and run through the Diecut Machine. I folded and adhered together according to the direction on the packaging.

I punched a hole with a Crop-A-Dile into the top center of the flap on the box.

I added the clap to the elastic before tying off on the inside of the box.

I adhered a couple of scalloped circle punches to the clasp along with a frozen Charlotte doll from my stash. I finished off by adhering pom pom trim to the flap, thread, a flower and leaf punch to the clasp.

Now for the fun stuff! Please hop down the list to see what the team has been working on. If you leave a "love" (comment) on each of the designer’s posts by April 6th, you will be entered to win a Tiny Book die! The winner will be announced on Eileen’s Facebook Live on Tuesday, April 7th. Pretty easy huh?

Sneak Peek of Eileen Hull's Newest Diecut!

Hi everyone! It's been a bit since my last blog post. I had to go to Nashville and watch my grandson for the past two weeks while my son and daughter in law work from home because of covid-19 so I didn't get any blog posts finished but did get some crafting in after my son and daughter in law's work day ended. I do hope everyone is taking care of themselves. 

But the reason I'm on today is I want to share a sneak peek of  my project using Eileen Hull's newest diecut that will be released. The Inspiration Team will be doing a blog hop April 1st and Eileen will be doing a Facebook Live that you don't want to miss. So set your calendars and be sure to come back on April 1st to see the complete reveal and hop along with the rest of the team! I've also included a link to view all of Eileen Hull's diecuts HERE.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Tuesday is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Chunky Mini Vintage Junk Journal

Hi everyone! I had started this project almost two years ago...do you have  several of those types of projects laying around? 😬 I had started this for another design team that I was on but the company was bought out and all the design team members were let go. Soooo I just laid it aside with the intent of finishing it for one of Eileen Hull's projects. When I did pick it back up to work on it I found out the Needle Book diecut had been retired. Soooo I put it up again until now. One of my goals for this year is to work on my mountain of unfinished projects...along with new projects, of course! 😁  

I started by applying Adhesive Sheets to the front and the back of a piece of Mat Board, placing on top of the diecut and running through the Diecut Machine. I then cut the diecut down the middle of the spine.

I cut another needle book from mat board and I cut it down the middle diecut. I measured 1" on each side of the fold and cut.

Then I cut another piece of matboard 2" wide by 3 5/8" high and adhered each 1" sides to the matboard. This re-enforces the spine of the needle book.

I adhered each of the covers to each of the flaps of the spine.

I measured on the inside of the spine and marked where I would sew in the signatures and punched small holes on both ends of the spine.

Each signature has 8 pieces of patterned cardstock. I used an abundance of leftover scraps from my stash.

I punched holes in the signatures and sewed each one into the spine and tied off.

Before decorating the inside pages I decorated the cover with a frozen Charlotte that I made with a mold and paper clay. I inked it and added butterfly wings to the back. I added an oval diecut, a flower with leaves before adhering the frozen Charlotte to the cover. 

I added bits of ephemera, scraps of cardstock, diecuts, etc. to the pages of this mini. 

As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Also I would like to submit this project for the following challenge:

Memo Pad Holder and Pen Clip with Eileen Hull

Hi everyone! I'm back from Creativation and I had a tiring but fun time! I hope to do a blog post later about my adventures there in the next week or two...it is so hard to get back into the swing of things. Anyway, I want to share my project using Eileen Hull's newest Display Stand Diecut.

I started by placing Adhesive Sheets on both sides of the Matboard and adding patterned cardstock over the adhesive (this makes it so much easier) before placing the diecut on top and running through the Diecut Machine.

I tried to put the stand together according to the directions but I bent the diecut the wrong way to begin with...can we say up oh...the bottom front of the diecut once I put it together right was buckled up pretty bad. BUT!!! I was able to cover up my mistake with hot pink gems which in my opinion dressed it up. I cut a piece of cardstock about an inch wide and the length of the stand and adhered each end to the stand. I created a belly band which I then placed the back sheet of the memo pad through the band. This is an easy way to replace the pad of paper once it is used up.

Next I cut a piece of elastic to fit around an ink pen and adhered each end to each side of a binder clip. 

From my stash of flowers and leaves I had cut from the Flowers and Leaves Journaling Cards Thinlits Dies I shaped flowers and leaves and adhered to the top of the display stand and to the binder clip. 

I also added buttons, glossy dots and loops of green thread to the center of each flower. 

I placed an ink pen into the binder clip holder before clipping to the side of the display stand. This diecut has so many possibilities! As always if you have questions about this project please let me know. To see the rest of Eileen's Inspiration Teams projects you can find the posts HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
