Hello Friends!
As many of you already know, Eileen Hull's Journal die (and others in the range) has been a huge success and in November, Eileen releases her new range - Book Club!
The Inspiration Team are sharing some of their makes, as sneak peeks, to whet your appetite, tutorials will follow once the release is out. Book Club is a range of dies that have multiple uses - such a great idea which makes dies even more versatile! I have a couple of pieces to share with you today.
First up is another Scoreboard die which is called Card Box, Planner Storage & Organiser. A very versatile die - I have used it to hold a mini album made with Eileen's Passport Die, it fits perfectly! The assembled measurements are 5" x 4.5/8" x 7/8". These are just like mini magazine holders - wouldn't they look beautiful all lined up in a row, holding your handmade cards or notebooks?!
Next up is a Scoreboard L Die called - Stamp & Photo Storage. It measures 4" x 6" x 1/2". As you can see I have added it to the Journal Die and it is a perfect fit.
In this case it becomes a watercolour storage compartment, with my brushes attached to the top of it and my watercolour booket at the front. You could use this as storage for photos, notebooks etc., and it is a stand alone product which you can use for storing stamps, small dies or anything else you want!
Here is the front of the journal, I added some stamped paint brushes and the cover is brayered with paint before some random stamping was added.
See what I mean about versatility!!
I hope you like these new additions to Eileen's range! If you have not joined in yet, in my previous post I am doing a Journal die Giveway along with my friends Jenny Marple and Tracy Evans who are also doing Giveaways. You can find all the details on how to enter the mini blog hop here:
Anne Redfern - that's me!
Thanks for your visit, I look forward to sharing more sneak peeks with you soon.
Hugs, Anne xx

ReplyDeleteWhat clever uses for both dies Anne! You always think outside the 'box'!!
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the sound of these dies and love your take on them. Happy crafty week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome Anne! Love the little pouch too!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are both amazing! I just love the soft pinks in that first project, and those beads dangling down are so wonderfully elegant! Your second project is brilliant for functionality, I would totally use something like that to hold my supplies! Such amazing creations!
ReplyDeleteSending hugs to you and hoping that all is well. I think of you often and hope you are having a wonderful fall season so far. hugs from across the way :)
You're such a tease Anne! ;0 Wow! I can't wait to see the mini album inside that pink box. Yes, it's such a clever die and could be used for so many purposes. Your watercolor holder is brilliant too and so creative. I adore seeing art supplies displayed beautifully and this is certainly beautiful! Big hugs, Autumn

Oh Anne, both projects are brilliant!!! Can't wait for these dies to hit the shops! I absolutely LOVE the idea of your watercolour brush holder, totally genius!!! Also the three of you are so generous with your give away, - if I did not have the journal die already, I would certainly join in...
ReplyDeleteLOVE what you did, Anne, now I see they are not that big :-) the journy / mag /book holder is just so beautiful !! xox
ReplyDeletefabulous makes Anne as always...love the paint brush holder...you are one very naughty enabler...hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant outside-the-box (or maybe inside-the-journal) thinking with these new dies, Anne... the watercolour storage is just fantastic - love those brush loop holders. They're such practical dies - home-made storage solutions galore.
ReplyDeleteAlison x
Great projects! I really like the mini magazine holders and I can think of many uses for them....the only problem is I really need a bigger house to put all these in!! Elaine xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous creativity as always Anne. Your projects are sooooo wonderful and I just want those dies already! The watercolour storage is amazing and I just love the little file box. I will be making loads of them I am sure! Jennie x
ReplyDeleteWe are back home - everything is well here - a 6 hour car drive home took us over 16 hours. Bumper to bumper traffic going into Florida. We were exhausted when we got home last night and very tired today.
ReplyDeleteI do love your makes (always do) and I am especially fond of the make holding the paint brushes. Eileen is so very lucky to have you -- she know talent when she sees it. Thinking this would make a wonderful gift for grandchildren and friends only holding some colored pencils and a small coloring book. Who knows - I am always dreaming!!!

This is so cool Anne! How clever to make the die into a watercolor case! Does your brain ever sleep??heeheee In any case, I do love this and love the way you create!
ReplyDeletehugs,Jackie xx
Amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteHello to you! I am blown away at the inside of this! The housing of the brushes and pens is genius! Nothing is better than functional art! WOW...what an inspiring project!
ReplyDeleteLove your watercolour case, and the place for your brushes! So clever!
ReplyDeleteLove how you used these dies!! What a great idea to make a portable water color kit!
ReplyDeleteBoth makes look absolutely darling Anne and are immaculately made by you as always. The epitome of professionalism! I cant choose a favourite from the two! I agree a whole lineup of the first would look even more amazing and then the idea of a brush / crayon / any other set of tools holder is so very clever not to mention useful! Top marks to Eileen for inventing these dies and for having you on her team. Have an absolutely brilliant weekend! Sorry for being mia too. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteI just love the file holder in the pink Anne - and that paint brush holder is just the most clever idea!! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteThese new dies by Eileen look like 'must haves' for sure. Your very talented crafty hands n mind have created some fantastic inspiration Anne. Loving these two lots .
