Eileen Hull New Release Blog Hop - Happy Camping!

 

Hi everyone and welcome. Thanks for joining us for the Eileen Hull Chapter 2 Release Party and Blog Hop. Today we are sharing the new Folio Journal accessory dies - the 'Card, Waterfall & Tags' and 'Book Binding & Labels' die sets and the new Bigz L 'Camper' 3D ScoreBoards die.

The new 'Card, Waterfall & Tags' and 'Bookbinding & Labels' dies may be designed to work perfectly with the Folio Journal but don't be limited to keeping them in a book - you can also use these elements in different size journals, cards and layouts. Check out all the different ways to use these new dies on our Blog Hop. Click through and leave a comment on each of the designers' posts and be eligible to win a $25 gift certificate in Eileen's Etsy Shop!

 

I have totally fallen in love with the new Camper die, I even dreamed one night (before I'd even received it) that I'd made a full quilt...................

So I think this is the perfect die not only for papercrafting but also for anyone that love applique, I mean can you imagine how long it would take to cut all those elements out. I'd much rather die cut and get an exact perfectly cut image everytime!

I've made a chair hug, a quilt that slips over a chair no matter where you are. I mean we've all been to those classes where the chairs are a little uncomfortable right? And yes we all will be so happy to get back out there and sit on them again soon won't we, so why not do it in style with a personalised chair cover. 

Join Eileen and the team on Facebook Live and YouTube Live for an up close and personal look at the team's projects using the new dies (scheduled for 7th April at 12pm noon EST, 5pm UK time). Eileen will also demo how to use the dies during the show. We hope you can join us for this fun event.

Funky Mixed Media Canvas Folio for Eileen Hull Inspiration Team

 

Time for a new project using Eileen Hull Design new Folio Journal Die along with the gorgeous Flowers that come in the Pocket Corner Set.

I ironed scraps of fabric left over from a quilt I'm making onto a piece of stabliser, This helps the fabric to cut more easily in the machine.

I cut out of canvas 3 sets of signatures, with two sheets in each. They measured 10"x5" and I stitched them to the divider folded in half and spaced out evenly.

I played around using black thread with some decorative stitches on random pages. This will give me a starting point when I come to use them, and not just a blank page. 

I also love the texture the stitches create.

I cut out two cover pieces form canvas and two from a gorgeous bright Batik fabric. Love my Batiks.The plan was to sew the inner front section to create a pocket but I can't cover the fabric up.

I started by sewing the covers together at the spine using a scribbly stitch in black cotton, it reminded me of how I doodle round everything, so love that effect.. I folded the covers to find the edge then stitched around multiple times to create frames. I added decorative stitches to create the flowers stemps and addded the flowers and leaves in a fun pattern, stitching them down securely.

I then stitched the inside lining together, again at the seam, and added the signatures by stitching carefully up against the spine of the inner cover. After pining the two fabrices together, wrong sides facing, I pinned them together in the centre of the covers, well out of the way of adding the pink stitching which not only sews the two covers together, but forms a funky pop of colour against the black stitches on the outer cover. 

 I love how my messy art journal turned out, even though it wasn't what I started out to create!

Happy Crafting,
