"Alphabet Soup" with Eileen Hull's New Sizzix Dies

Eileen Hull's new Sizzix Collection is here, and the Creative Team is still busy creating all sorts of projects! For the month of June, our theme is "Alphabet Soup" where we focus on the Nora Numbers and Nora Alphabet die sets. I created a mixed media birthday card for my nephew.

I started off by cutting all the letters and numbers out of heavy white cardstock and gluing them onto another piece of heavy white cardstock. I also ran it through my Big Shot with some of the Page Edges Dies to add "stitching" texture. I brushed a thin layer of Collage Medium over it all to seal it afterwards. When it was dry, I colored it by blending Distress Crayons over the layers and then added a final glimmery spritz of Distress Mica Stain.

The May release includes seven exciting new products:
• The fan-favorite Garden Gate Album die — brought back by popular request
• Five brand-new Thinlits sets
• A beautiful new embossing folder

We can’t wait to see what YOU create with the new collection! Be sure to share your projects in the Eileen Hull Fan Club so we can continue inspiring each other and celebrating creativity together.

Thank you for being part of this amazing journey with us!

My Projects!

I had so much fun creating with this new collection…

I used the Stitched Hearts and Nora Numbers Die Sets to create these cute little felt hearts to use as filler for this mason jar.

Number two is a card made using the new Watercolour Bouquet embossing folder, plus Stitched Hearts and Page Edges Die Sets.

Using the Ephemera Pocket & Tags Die Set, I created a little gift package to house a pair of earrings. (Embellished using the Stitched Hearts and Page Edges Die Sets.)

The Scoreboards Garden Gate Album Die is a classic that is being re-released! I made this little album with blank pages inside and a removable signature.

Finally, I also used the Garden Gate Album Die to make this card that is perfect to send to a gardening friend.

Colorful Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on Chou & Flowers! I created a colorful card that will hopefully brighten someone's day.

The base layer is a gel print. Over that I layered a Quirky Post die cut that I stenciled using the Kaleidoscope stencil and Autumn Leaves Lindy's spray. The pre-printed Chou & Flowers Vibrations Artist die cuts were easy to add and look so cute!

Anything Goes! PaperArtsy Mixed Media Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes! My sewing machine is out so I thought I'd make a mixed media card with a scrappy fabric base.

First I sprayed some strips of plain muslin fabric using Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist - Smoky Sapphire. When it was dry, I tore it into strips and stitched them onto the card base. I also stenciled onto the background with Parisian blue paint, then stitched on my focal image from the Lynne Perrella 71 stamp set.
