Christmas in July with Eileen Hulls New Release Snowman and Mitten Dies.
I wanted to share with you a couple of fun Wintery projects using the NEW dies that are
now available from Eileen Hull and Sizzix*.
The Gingham Mitten Gift Box uses the #664510 Mitten Box Die by Eileen Hull.
It cuts out all the pieces you need to make a super cute gift box that you can fill with treats.
A few tips…
- Adhere the gingham paper to Sizzix, Little Sizzles White Mat Board*
using your favorite adhesive before cutting out the mitten die. I like to use the Xyron Creative Station*
to adhere the paper to the mat board so I get complete adhesive covering.
- Paint the inside and sides of the box with red acrylic paint.
- Glue lace onto the front of the gingham mitten before assembling the box. I like to use a super-fast grab adhesive like DAP Rapid Fuse Adhesive*
to glue my pieces together.

The second project is a Snowman Note Card Holder.
I used the #664511 Snowman Box Die by Eileen Hull and adapted it a bit.
- When I saw the scored piece that is supposed to be used to create the box, I saw a fence. So, of course, I had to make a Snowman decorating a fence.
- I glued two of the box parts together to make the fence. I created a platform out of extra pieces of Little Sizzles Mat Board*
The Snowman Box Die cuts all the pieces to makes these two adorable Snowman Boxes.

There’s a lot of dimension that was added to my Snowman.
- I painted the fence and snowman with white acrylic paint. After the paint had dried, I gave them both a coat of One Step Crackle Paint*
. The thicker the paint the larger the crackles. (My crackles are more subtle.)
- I used White Liquid Applique*
on the rim and top of the snowman’s hat. I let the liquid applique dry before heating it with a H
eat Tool* to raise it. If you let it dry before heating, the liquid applique raises evenly not bumpy.
- I used DecoArt Dimensional Effects*
on the tops of the fence and around the base. I also used it on the bottom of my Snowman.
