Eileen Hull & Sizzix New Chapter 3 Release Dies

Join me and the Eileen Hull teams in sharing the

New Release Chapter 3 Dies from Sizzix and Eileen Hull.

This is a fun new collection that I think you will enjoy.

And the samples from the entire team are phenomenal.

New Chapter 3 Dies from Sizzix and Eileen Hull

First off is my vintage style Treasure Box.  

I used the Slotted Treat Box Die* to make my Treasure Box. I adapted the box by adding a 1″ strip of matboard* around the existing box lid. The extra strips allowed the box to have a lip that fits over the edge of the box.

The Bigz Plus Slotted Treat Box Die* measures 6 1/2” x 5” x 3 1/2” and can hold so many things- a set of cards, journals, doll clothes, ephemera storage or you can even use it as a gift box! This is a Scoreboards die which is specially designed to cut and score thick material like matboard, chipboard, leather, felt, fabric and metal. *A 9” wide machine is required to cut this die.

I rarely make masculine cards.  They’re a little bit of a challenge for me.  I loved using the key’s embossing folder for this card.  The key details are perfect.  I made them pop by adding Luster Wax over the raised design.  I used a combination of Ivory and Charcoal Luster Wax.

When we finished cleaning out my dad’s house, I came home with a huge ring of old keys.  I guess I’m not the only one.  Eileen shared that the Keys 3D Embossing Folder* is special to her because they all came from her dad’s house.

The Floral Album was made using Eileen’s New Field Notes and Specimen Card Die* and paper from 49 and Market’s Rouge Collection*.  The spine was covered using some of my hoarded faux leather paper.

The Field Notes and Specimen Card Die* is a Bigz XL die that holds 5” x 7” pages or photos- a new orientation! The Specimen Card may be used to hold photos, as a journaling card or a shaker. Holes are pre-cut into the book spine which is adjustable from 1/2” to 1 1/2 in width. *XL Cutting Pads will be needed to cut the book cover.

I used the Specimen Card from Eileen’s Field Notes Journal* along with the Sizzix Thinlets Envelope, Folder & Flowers Die Set* to create the embellishment on the inside front pocket of the album.  The inside pages of the album were decorated using Rub-Ons Transfers from the 49 and Market Rouge Collection*.

The Sizzix Thinlets Envelope, Folder & Flowers Die Set* is made up of nine dies- an adorable mini envelope, file folder, set of small, medium and large hearts, and a large and small flower and leaf set. This die set will be perfect to create ephemera using your scraps!

How to make a Sparkly, Shimmery Shaker Birthday Card.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

One of the great things about being a cardmaker is making fun cards

for special people. I made a quick and easy card for my cousin’s birthday

over the weekend and forgot to take any process shots.

So, I decided to make another one, slightly different.

Making Sparkly Shimmery Cards are fun to make.

Taking photographs of those kind of cards are not.

To give the cards the extra sparkle and shine, I used StyletechCraft’s Chrome Vinyls.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

Directions:

  • Usually, when I’m working with vinyl, I use it as a sticker. This time I wanted to use the vinyl to make a dimensional piece. Before die-cutting, I placed the vinyl onto the cardstock.  
  • Die-cut the words Happy Birthday using Pink Chrome Adhesive Vinyl*.
  • Die-cut the birthday background using Silver Chrome Adhesive Vinyl*.  
  • Cut the Small 3D Foam Squares* in half and place them onto the back of the letters. Use tweezers to add each of the letters to the background.

Shimmer & Shake Birthday Card

  • Die-cut a frame using white cardstock.
  • Cut a piece of clear acetate slightly smaller than the frame.
  • Use a double tape roller to add adhesive around the frame.
  • Remove the protective film from the acetate and place it inside the frame.
  • Place double-sided adhesive strips over the acetate.
  • Cut a piece of Holographic Mist Chrome Adhesive Vinyl* slightly smaller than the frame.

  • Add 3D foam squares to the back of the die-cut background.
  • Place “Happy Birthday” onto the front of the frame.
  • Adhere the frame layers on a white card.
  • Add a simple white sheer bow to finish the card.

I love how the Holographic Vinyl sparkles and changes color in the sun.
