Eileen Hull's Dies Work with Layouts Too!

I spend most of my time making journals, cards and tags, but every now I then I like to return to what started me on my paper journey, layouts.  This is a 12 x 12 layout that I did using photos that I took on a recent trip out west.

Eileen Hull Designs' September release includes a great new Thinlit set that I've used on this layout.  It's called Home Sweet Home  and consists of 24 pieces that includes everything you need for a delightful forest scene!

I used tree, deer and hillside dies to embellish my page on the lower right.  Think how cute this would be on a Christmas card.  You could just add some snow on the evergreen branches and cut the hillsides from white cardstock!

 That's it for today.  Be sure to visit Eileen's blog to see what the rest of the team is doing with Eileen's September release.

Making Cards with Eileen Hull's new Tunnel Arches

Today I'm making cards with the newly released Eileen Hull Sizzix Framelits Set.  Both of these cards were easy and quick!

I love easel cards because they display so nicely as they stand on their own.  I made this one using the 2 larger arches from the Tunnel Arch set and Eileen's new 3D embossing folder, Lacy Leaves.

Here's a quick video showing how its done.

Here's a view from the side, illustrating how it stands on its own.

I used the Tunnel Arches and Windowsill Flowers & Vase Thinlits set to make this card along with the Lacy Leaves embossing folder.  To frame the adorable flowers and vase I heat embossed a chipboard frame.  Under the vase is an embossed arch (same process as the easel card), then a larger cardstock arch, over a layer of design paper.  (Graphic 45 Let it Bee.)  You can add a sentiment either on the front or inside.  I left it blank for now so I can use it as an all occasion card.

Eileen Hull's September Sizzix Release

I love Eileen Hull's new release!  It includes a gorgeous A5 3-D embossing folder, Lacy Leaves, 2 Thinlits Sets, Windowsill Flowers and Vase and Home Sweet Home, and a Framelits Set, Tunnel Arches.

I used the Arches and Windowsill sets  along with the embossing folder to make this fun Halloween decoration.

Have a look at this quick process video to see how I used these dies.

The Home Sweet Home set includes 24 pieces just right for designing your own woodlands scene.  I used the deer and trees dies to embellish this layout.  

I really love this new Lacy Leave embossing folder.  I used it to cut arches for both of these cards.
