The Chapter 4 Sizzix Release is exciting for so many reasons- there are two never-done-before designs! One is the Full Size Journal which is a Bigz Pro size- you will need a machine with at least a 9" throat to cut this die- like a Big Shot Plus or Pro. Not to worry- if you don't have that machine, Eileen will have the pre-cut pieces available in her Etsy store for you to work with. The other new technology is a 3D Embossing Folder! It's called Sweater and is oh so cozy. Also new this release is a Bigz Notepad die with lots of options for materials and uses, and a Heart Mandala Thinlits to decorate with!
There is a GIVEAWAY too- leave a comment on each of the designers' blog posts and you will be entered to win one of the new dies! Another prize will be given to someone who attends and comments in the Release Party Facebook Live.
I have lots to share with you today so grab you favorite snack and settle in!
The Full Size Journal
First up-, The Full Size Journal, I am absolutely loving it! It's already my favorite sized journal for making mini albums, measuring 6" x 8 3/4" and nearly 2" thick. There's so much room on each page for photos and journaling. I used Graphic 45's new Halloween collection, Midnight Tales, to craft this mini.
Scroll down a ways and I have a flip through video of the mini showing you all the pages and giving you some background information.
Flip-Through Video
On the left, at the bottom, I made two pockets using Eileen's Pocet die from the Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers set. Then I added a cut-apart over the two pockets in the center.
I made a waterfall page using Eileen's recently released Waterfall & Tags set.
I made tuck spots and tucked in different sized tags made with Eileen's Waterfall & Tags set. On the right side is a Sizzix die-cut file folder, cut with a really old Sizzix steel-ruled die.
Eileen's tags.
Each page of the mini is a pocket page so I put a large G45 tag inside each page pocket.
This is a "wild and crazy" page! Not only does it have a flip up, when you flip up the top page a fold out page is beneath. On the right fold out flap is Eileen's needle book and in the center are more of Eileen's tags.

The Bigz Notebook Die
This was made with the Bigz Notepad die. The notepad is 3 5/8" x 4 3/8".
The Heart Mandala Die
More information coming on the Notepad and Heart Mandala die in a later post!
