Hot News! Eileen Hull has New Stamp Designs!

 

Eileen Hull is partnering with Maker Forte to bring you a brand new product line - beautifully designed stamps for your crafting pleasure! The first 3 sets are being released today and Eileen's Inspiration and Education Teams have been hard at work to bring you a ton of inspiration!

Here's a look at what is now available:

Buttons, Cards & More

Snail Mail Everyday Sentiments

Vintage Damask

For my first project, I chose to use the Vintage Damask stamp to make a beautiful background for this floral card. I inked up the stamp with two colors of pink Distress Ink and then lightly spritzed the stamp with water. After stamping it onto watercolor paper, it dries and has a nice watercolored effect! Easy Peasy!

Don't miss Eileen's FaceBook Live on Friday the 27th at 1:00pm EST! She will be sharing samples from the Team and telling us all about her new stamps. Check out the blog posts from the other Team members too. We are sharing our makes using the new stamps.

Focus on PaperArtsy for Topflight Stamps

Hello everyone! I'm filling in over on the Topflight Stamps blog this week and the focus is on the PaperArtsy brand. (Which I love!) Their stamps, paints and mediums are fabulous to create with. One of my favorite designers of theirs is Lynne Perrella and I had a new stamp set that needed to see some ink!

I began with creating a background with Distress Spray Stains and a little pinch of PaperArtsy Infusions Dye powder (Golden Sands). Infusions are intensely strong grains of dye pigment and a little goes a long way! After that I stamped the images and then colored them with watercolor paint. I also stamped in the background to add more visual texture.

Camping Memories Tag Album + Eileen Hull's Vintage Truck Die

Hello there folks! I have a new project to share with you today. Back in April with Eileen Hull's Chapter 2 Sizzix release, we met the 3-D Camper Box Die and I used it to make a holder for a tag album commemorating many of our family's past camping trips. (Find that post HERE.) For Chapter 3, Eileen released a fabulous 3-D Vintage Truck Box Die that matches the Camper! I knew I had to make a companion piece for the Camper project, especially since I wasn't able to fit our more current camping trips into that tag album.

How cute is that little red truck? It's such a versatile die.

The tag album fits right in the box.

Here are some peeks at the insides of the tag album. I used a ton of stamps and die cuts to bring home the nature theme.

Both sides of the tags got the works!

 A few notes on the truck construction:

I spritzed both sides of two pieces of Sizzix mat board with Distress Oxide Spray Fired Brick and regular Distress Spray in Crackling Campfire and Aged Mahogany. The oxide spray gave it a wonderful aged mottled look. After cutting out my truck pieces, I sealed them with a coating of Distress Micro Glaze. On top of that, I dabbed on embossing ink and then covered all the parts with Eileen's Glistening Glass clear embossing powder.

Truck parts I cut for your reference. (Check this past post for more truck assembly instructions.) I didn't make a hood for this truck so I'd have more room to fit my tag album.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.
