Eileen Hull Designs Chapter 1 2023 Release Party and Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome. Thanks for joining the Eileen Hull Chapter 1 2023 Release Party and Blog Hop where you will find team members sharing projects created with the new dies and embossing folder. There will also be a giveaway too so make sure to watch the live show on the Eileen Hull Designs Facebook Live/YouTube Livestream. Comment in the chat and tell us what you would create with these dies, then you will be eligible to win a Chapter 1 die/embossing folder!

And now it's time to introduce the Chapter 1 2023 Eileen Hull/Sizzix collection!

Here's what Eileen has to say about the collection;

"Let's start with the ScoreBoards Frame Pocket Journal - this is a Bigz Plus die so you will need a 9” cutting machine. The Journal measures 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” x 1 1/4” with an adjustable spine. What makes this die special are the additional pieces on the die, a pocket to hold ephemera, a frame and flap! These extra pieces may be used in many of my other journals or they can be used independently. The die may also be configured in a few different ways so watch the blog and Facebook live shows for ideas.

There are two Thinlits sets that coordinate with the Journal. You asked for a new alphabet - you got it - and I added numbers too! The Tiled Alphanumeric is very versatile because you can use both the positive and negative shapes. Each letter is perforated which makes it easy to create and line up words.

The other Thinlits set is the Library Pocket, ATC Card and Tab die - a journal essential! Use the ATC card die to knock out a bunch of Artist Trading Card bases and add the library pocket to package it up to swap. The Tab die is perfect to add to the Journal pages or on the ATC.

The last item is a 3D embossing folder called Tablecloth which was inspired by a crocheted cotton piece from my Mom. This adds beautiful texture and dimension to card backgrounds, book pages or tags!"

A couple of projects I've made with the new collection;

First up is an expanding file folder, perfect for storing those smaller Eileen Hull Designs die cuts, stamped ephemera and embossed pieces that have been left over from previous projects.

This has been made using the Frame Pocket Journal Scoreboards Plus Die whilst the decorated front has been embossed with the Tablecloth 3D Embossing Folder.

There will be a full tutorial on my blog for this one later in January.

I've also made a mixed media art journal using the Frame Pocket Journal Scoreboards Plus Die. More of this one will be shown on the Live broadcast.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing the first of my projects using Eileen's latest die releases. I'll be back in the middle of this month to share a tutorial for the expanding file folder. Meantime make sure to tune in to the Eileen Hull Designs Facebook Live/YouTube Livestream and also head on over to see the rest of the project peeks in the blog hop.
