Eileen Hull Designs Chapter 1 Release Party and Blog Hop 2022

Hi everyone and welcome. Thanks for joining us for the Eileen Hull Chapter 1 Release Party and Blog Hop. With a blog hop (see details below) a FB Live with Eileen and members of the team and even a giveaway going on it's going to be a special party to celebrate Eileen's new releases.

The dies in this new collection are versatile, practical and fun to embellish;

• The 'Phone Stand', a Sizzix XL ScoreBoards Die, is a MUST- you need one for every room! Make for yourself, family, friends, for gifts or to sell- the die cuts the stand in one pass and is very easy to assemble.
• The 'Box, Book', another Sizzix Scoreboards XL Diecan be used to make a book or a box that holds A-2 greeting cards. What a great way to package handmade cards... or a quick and easy book!
• Add the 'Vintage Buttons' 3D Embossing Folder to create vintage backgrounds for cards, journals, pages and tags. The 3D effect is stunning when you add a little Sizzix Luster Wax to bring out the highlights...
• The 'Snail Mail' Sizzix Thinlits Die cuts a postal pane that coordinates with two of Eileen's Snail Mail Maker Forte stamps. This die was designed to use on the front of an A-2 card.

There's a giveaway too. If you leave a comment for each of the designers in the Release Party Hop, or during the Facebook Live or YouTube video, you will be eligible to win one of the newly released products! Tell us what your favourite new product is and what you plan to do with it. There's a list of participating blogs below - thanks for hopping with us!

When Eileen initially introduced the teams to the new dies she jokingly laid down a challenge for me to turn the Sizzix Scoreboards 'Box, Book' XL Die into a handbound book - challenge accepted!!! It's a chunky, one full of interactive pages and of course a number of Eileen's die and stamp designs.

The photo below gives you a partial insight into how the book was constructed using the hinge as a spine and the box top and bottom as the covers. There will be a full tutorial later this month as well as a closer look inside, and I'll be sharing a flip through as part of Eileen's FB Live today.

The papers and embellishments used all come from 49 and Market's 'Vintage Artistry' range and the finished book measures 5 1/4" x 6 1/2" x 1 3/4" (13.5cm x 16.5cm x 4cm).

On the cover I've used Eileen's new Sizzix 'Vintage Buttons' 3D Embossing Folder to create the background for the trims, foliage, flowers and bird. Inside a couple of pages have been decorated using the Sizzix Thinlits 'Snail Mail' Die and of course there are a number of other Eileen dies that came in handy too!

I'll be back soon to share the tutorial for this book and share some of the pages inside. In the meantime make sure to head on over to see the rest of the project peeks and take part in the blog hop to be in with a chance to win - good luck!
