Thank you so much for your comments on my last post, I am thrilled that you seem to love
Eileen Hull's wonderful dies for
Sizzix as much as I do!
As you know from my last post, Eileen is showcasing her dies and the Design Team samples at CHA in California, right now and the feedback so far says that people are enjoying this wonderful new release.
Today I am sharing the rest of my samples and I hope you like them too!
I loved making this Box/Train Case, it is a very good size - big enough to take recipe cards or jewellery. It goes together like a dream - this was one item I didn't want to send back to Eileen.....
This is called the Adirondack chair, the whole team have decorated this in some wonderful ways. Love this die!
This mini Book/Passport die is so versatile, it has a flexible spine so that more pages can be added. I have fitted a whole 12 months of pages so that it can be used as a birthday record book.
This is my final sample. I used some of Eileen's wonderful new thin dies and embossing folders to create a book for Eileen to use on her next Paper Trail road trip in the USA! You can see that Scotty, Eileen's trailer makes another appearance. These dies are perfect for scrapbooking a holiday.
I am including links to some of my team mates who are also sharing more samples today. I hope you will have time to have a look. It is always lovely to see how differently people interpret the designs...
As always, I really appreciate your visit, thanks so much! Big hugs, Anne xx
I loved yesterday's makes but you out-did yourself today! Everything is incredibly gorgeous and I can see why you would want to hang on to all of them! I'm pretty sure that the mini book will be making an appearance here one day! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, You have worked so hard with this release and stunning results. I adore the train case and feel my creative mind going into overdrive with these 3d dies and they compliment Tim's new range so well. Is the chair large enough for a little girls Barbie doll to sit on ? Just curious on size...

Thanks Julie, I have responded to you by email with the sizings.
DeleteWow Anne you have truly rocked all the new releases and my wish list just got a whole lot bigger...love love love all your makes...hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly box looks gorgeous and I love the book and caravan die. Well done on all your samples!! Elaine xx
ReplyDeleteJust loving what you've come up with! Knew you'd pull it out the bag (and then some!) Bet Eileen will be keeping a firm grip on these now she has them! Jenny xxx
ReplyDeleteAnd even more Well Dones! coming your way. The butterfly train case is as adorable as can be, and what a container for handmade cards it would make as well as the other uses. Loved each of the samples, and how delightful you incorporated Scotty into the little road trip book with the USA map. And again, so pleased your samples are on display where all the CHA visitors can appreciate them and see what wonderful items can be made from the products. TFS
ReplyDeleteYou lucky thing Anne, it's not always easy to get hold of the dies until they've been on the market for sometime. Still waiting to try and get one of her earlier ones.
ReplyDeleteLove what you've done with them. Happy crafting, Angela x
What amazing samples Anne - that chair looks wonderful and I can imagine stretching out in the sunshine on something just like that.

Oh, I love the butterfly box, and the chair is brilliant... these are wonderful dies. Will hop across and see the other samples. Ruth x
ReplyDeleteOh my! My heart literally skipped a beat at your birthday book Anne. I L-O-V-E it!! What an excellent idea. Do you have any step out photo's of how you did it by any chance?
ReplyDeleteThe 'train case' is wonderful too, it reminds me of a jewellery case I had many many moons ago.
I'm loving all the CHA videos, aren't you? I keep refreshing YouTube and searching, lol I bet it's a wonderful place to look around and watch the experts ((hugs)) xx
I love your samples Anne! Your chair is darling. And your pillow turned out much nicer than mine. Mine is a hot mess. But I love we were both thinking pillows for the chair. The book is darling. I didn't get that one so it's nice to see it.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, Annie, I have a hard time breathing when you show ONE of your incredible creations, let alone a parade of them!! That butterfly traveling case is so lovely! And, of course, I love them all!! Eileen will be over the moon with the delightful traveling journal for her adventures with Scotty!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, well I was in the middle of writing my comment and it disappeared...I know not why..so...as a I was saying...whoa!!! ALL these dies are on my wish list, right at the top..they are fabulous as are the wonderful creations you've made from them...it' s usually awe inspiring to see just one of your designs, but as Darnell said, so many over two days! Eileen will love the journal for her next road trip! Hugs Carole Z X
ReplyDeleteOh! My! Word! Anne,
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely amazing, I just love that Butterfly Box.
The Journal is something to treasure forever.
Think I might just have to have some of these Dies.
Hugs

WOW! Anne, these are stunning. Your designs are outstanding, I especially love the Box/Train Case. I really admire your creativity and thank you for giving so much inspiration.
ReplyDeletehugs Sue xx
Wowsers girl! I am sold on these!! No wonder it was hard to part with them. Eileen must be so thrilled with how everything has turned out. I can imagine that as the first user of the dies, for their inaugural displays, it placed even more pressure on you to 'deliver the goods'. Well you sure have delivered in spades! They really are all brilliant - especially love the little chair. I remember your creating a beach scene some time ago ... well a line up of the chairs would be fab with it! Congratulations again Anne - these are brilliant. Nicola xx
ReplyDeleteLove your train case and I am more than ready to go sit in the sun for a while. I am r s all chomping at the bit for that passport book. I love books of any kind!
ReplyDeleteSandy xx
Hi Anne, hope you are well. I love your samples, the birthday book is gorgeous and such a lovely idea. Love the butterflies on your first sample too. I need to use more papers they work so well. Gorgeous chair too. Hugs. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteWOW. love them all. the birthday book is a fantastic idea for the mini!!! i ca't wait to get my hands on that die..so many possibilities...
ReplyDeleteThat train case you made is to die for, I love the papers you've used and how it has come together. Pure girly vintage xxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful creations Anne everything is just gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteAnne, all of these are such wonderful projects and you worked each die so perfectly! Love them all! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow Anne, these are so fabulous. Really love what you did with the train box too, I wouldn't want to send it either haha!
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful Anne, but I have to admit that the Train Box/Case is going to be a must-have for me!! It's so functional, great for storage I bet!! Wonderful work as always my crafty friend! until next time, big hugs :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see MORE of your creations Anne! you have been one busy die cutting girl!! LOVE the butterflies on this wonderful travel case - and that chair is just the cutest!! So summery in the blue - and great decorating and design on both of the passport books!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, fabulous, gorgeous projects. And that little chair is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful ideas Anne! I really love the look of the book with the capacity to take more than just a few pages. Really loving the hat and cushion on the chair!
ReplyDeleteJuliaxx
I really like all those projects but that camper van book really stole my heart, what a fab travel journal :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful parade a projects! I can only imagine that Eileen is over the moon to have you on her team. I absolutely am in love with that train bag/case thingamabob. I am wondering if I could get away with altering my briefcase in a like manner...Butterflies are totally office appropriate, right?
ReplyDeleteAs for the relation to Darnell comparison, I DEFINITELY take that as a compliment. I am considering a formal petition to have her adopt me, but I haven't informed her of that yet as I fear she might file a protection order instead. ;) I love her snarky humor.
All your projects are amazing! Box/train case is my fav!!!! BArbarayaya
ReplyDeleteLove your train case - beautiful paper! Thank you for your supportive comments about my journaling also - happy to report that my hand is definitely on the mend!

Hey Sugar - when you read this will you see if you get my new e-mail address on this comment and let me know - thanks
ReplyDeleteSandy
Love that Adirondack chair (love to know the measurements - possibly a bit big for dollshouse use?)... and the train case is wonderful - I can see why you didn't want to part with it. Fabulous work again... hope you'll be able to see/show us some photos of it all on display at some point.
ReplyDeleteAlison xx
Wow, Anne! I would imagine it is very difficult to be a crafter using a die in it's infancy, so to speak! but you have done a great job with each one of these new dies and embossing folders! Love that train case, the chair (!) and the book, well, EVERYTHING! I'm sure it was hard to send the dies back!
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for visiting my blog and leaving your lovely comment about my "new" styled card! It was quite a challenge for me!
Such fun and creative projects Anne!
ReplyDeleteAll look amazing to me Anne but the box/train case is the one I would love to have as well, no wonder you didn't want to part with it.
ReplyDeleteWarm crafty hugs from Shirl x x x

These are all gorgeous Anne. I especially love the box/train case, I'm with you, I think you should have got to keep this too, too pretty to part with. I really like the gorgeous wee birthday book too and love that you can make it grow adding more pages as you've done here. Thanks for visiting me on my blog and for the nice message you left too. xx
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!
ReplyDeleteThe first two samples, the case and the Adirondack chair immediately conjure up stories in my mind. The creativity is extraordinary. Anne, you are really the perfect paper artist to work with those dies.
Wishes
Lynne
