Eileen Hull July Blooms Shaker Card

Hello again Eileen Hull fans! This month the Inspiration Team is playing more with Eileen's new Sizzix releases – the Watercolour Florals & Lattice Stencil Set with the Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits die set that will easily cut out the stenciled flowers. I have an additional project to share with you. 

I had extra die cut white flowers from my vignette project and I couldn't let them go to waste! I decided to make a shaker card because who doesn't love an interactive shaker card? I also utilized the Watercolour Florals & Lattice Stencil Set. Below you can see some "in progress" photos.

Flash back to the white flowers:
I spritzed white coffee filters with pearl mist and when dry, die cut several layers of flowers. I had some yellow flower stamens that I glued in the middle after poking a hole with a die pick. Easy!

For the card base, I used the lattice stencil and Peacock Feathers Distress Glaze to create the pattern.

I used the flower stencil layers and the Sizzix Stencil & Stamp Tool to decorate the shaker frame and background. The sentiment is stamped using Eileen's Wonderful World of Flowers stamp set.

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

Painterly Blooms Notebook with Eileen Hull – The Tutorial!

Hello, did you catch the newest Sizzix release from Eileen Hull at the beginning of June? Check back to my post here for the details. The Inspiration Team designers have been sharing tutorials for their fab projects all month. This week I have the tutorial for my Painterly Blooms Notebook for you.

Let's see some how-to!

Step 1 – I collaged torn up pieces of deli paper Gel Press prints onto the front of the Mat Board for the cover. 

Step 2 – I got to try out the new Sizzix Stencil & Stamp Tool in conjunction with Eileen's new layered stencil set, Watercolor Flowers & Lattice. It is handy! The stencils "lock in" and stay put. I started off using the Lattice stencil with embossing ink on the cover.

The embossing ink was covered with Rustic Wilderness Distress Glaze and heat embossed.

Step 3 – I decorated the signature covers with stenciled flowers from the Watercolor Flowers & Lattice set. Again the Tool made it easy to line up the layers. I used stencil brushes to make it easier to add color details.

I also cut out stenciled flowers using the coordinating Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits Die Set to embellish the cover.

The signatures were ready made little notebooks I had in my
stash that I covered with the decorated papers I made.

Step 4 – Using a mini hole punch, I punched holes in the spine of the cover so I could thread skinny elastic through. The elastic holds the signatures in place.

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

2024 June Release – New Eileen Hull Sizzix Collection

Welcome to the 2024 June Sizzix Release Party of Eileen Hull's newest collection! We are celebrating with a Live party and this Blog Hop! Eileen's designers have been hard at work creating with Eileen's great new dies and have loads of inspiration for you.

Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:

Introducing my June Sizzix release! This collection combines three classic Eileen Hull Sizzix Scoreboards dies and two new designs- a four layer stencil and coordinating Thinlits that cuts a portion of the stencil! The three Scoreboards dies are the Treasure Box, Stacking Drawer and Notebook. The fun thing about this set is that they work together but also stand alone.

The Treasure Box measures 3 1/4” x 5 1/4” x 4” and holds index cards, two stacks of ATC’s, a whole row of journaling cards and anything else you care to add.

The Stacking Drawer fits a set of three drawers perfectly inside the Treasure Box to create a great storage solution for desk supplies, hair accessories, small collections, jewelry and much more. It also makes a great little gift box for something special! 

The Notebook is a favorite because of how quick and easy it is to create. One pass through the Big Shot and you have a book cover! It measures 5” x 3 1/2” x 3/4”. Cover with paper, fabric, metal or cut from leather. So many ways to use this.

The Watercolour Florals & Lattice Stencil Set is based on a watercolor I did. There are three stencil layers to give dimension and then a fourth layer versatile lattice design that can also be used to create a plaid pattern!

Painterly Blooms & Background is a die set that perfectly die cuts the flowers you have just stenciled so no fussy cutting needed plus there are extra flower shapes so you can layer them for dimensional florals.

Don't miss the live release party!

We hope you will watch our release party to see lots of samples and alternate ideas for ways to use these dies and stencils! There will be a GIVEAWAY! Find the die bundles here in Eileen’s Etsy shop! The Release Party will be held on Tuesday, June 4th at noon Eastern on Eileen’s YouTube, Facebook and Instagram channels. The Hop will be starting on Eileen Hull's blog.

The new dies and stencils:

I'm sharing a Notebook project I made incorporating the new Stencil Set and Painterly Blooms Die Set. (Tutorial later in the month!)

The stencils and the dies work so well together! I can tell I'll be having lots of fun on future projects using them.
