Favorite Fall Things-Eileen Hull Style

 

It's that time.....the warm breeze has turned to a cool brisk breeze, the trees are changing colors! I am getting some gorgeous colors here in the mountains! 

Are you ready for FALL? 

Here at Art with Heart we a gearing up and showing you what we can do with Eileen Hull's dies!

 I have actually made two this month!

My first is using Eileen's Train Case! You can find it by clicking on the highlighted words.

 First I gathered my inks (Wendy Vecchi inks were used), Train Case die,mat board, and Glue Dot® Lines.

Once I had all my pieces cut from my Sizzix's Mat board, I embossed them! I love the way they turned out!

Look at the detail, it gave this Train Case a rich FALL feel! I started to ink my Train Case using Wendy Vecchi inks! I love the rich Fall color I achieved with Wendy's inks!

I put my Train Case together.

 I added a gold rub onto the hinges.

Finished off the Train Case with a Tim Holtz Key hole and some fall flowers and a few leaves and acorn embellishments! This Train Case makes a beautiful floral decor piece for your home. I love the way this turned out. Could also make a great hostess gift!

 My second one is my "When is a camper not a camper? When it's a pumpkin!" project!
So cute! This is made with Eileen's Travel Trailer Die!

Just turn the Trailer on it's side and don't put one side of the Trailer on. Add a hand cut stem and you have a pumpkin!

Wouldn't this look beautiful on your Thanksgiving table at each table setting? Pop a treat into the opening and it serves as a gift box!

 I added Fall colored M & M's! (I ate my Candy Corn)

 My two projects look FABULOUS together!

I hope you like what I have shared this week!

Make sure you join us this month's prize is the Travel Trailer! You could make your own FALL pumpkins! Enter at Art with Heart.

Canvas Corp Challenge-Make something with Fabric!

Challenge is on.......!

I took a Canvas Corp canvas fabric sheet like this one↓

 You can buy that HERE!

I cut it into a 13" X 18" piece

I then cut out a paper shaped pumpkin

 Used crayons to trace the pumpkin on. You could just draw straight onto the fabric if you would like!

 Using Americana-Deco Art paints I painted the pumpkin and stem

 I stamped Happy Fall using foam stamps and paint

 Here is where you can get creative. I took a black Pitt pen and started to doodle, added some glitter and just had fun adding squiggly lines around the letters and pumpkin!

 I frayed the sides a bit then I just ran a straight stitch up each side. Folded over about 2" and sew straight across the top. Also I added some felt leaves for fun!

 You could add a dowel rod and hang this on your door or inside the house. I just happened to have one of these flag holders handy and thought I could hang it on it for pictures!

 I tied a bit of Raffia to the flag holder just to give it a extra pop of autumn flavor. (whats fall without raffia)

I hope you liked my project with fabric! Make sure you head over to the Canvas Corp Blog for more inspiration!

Do you forget to blog?

I always forget to blog!

Do you do that? I get busy doing projects and than forget about blogging them!
I have many behind the scenes projects that I can't show because they are being submitted for magazines or for Company blog posts.

But I have some I can show!

I did a lamp for my great niece. That was different and fun! I found the lamp at Target for $7.48! Bargain!

Add some Deco Art paint and now she has a brand new lamp for her nursery!

 Here is the girl I had painted for her. Now she has the lamp to match! My niece is so into octopuses! The whole nursery is octopuses!

I am also in a tag swap, so I decided to make my own embellishments!

They are turning out quite cute......if I do say so myself!

 Right now I am staining them to give them the old worn look!

I have just finished some projects for Glue Dots® and hopefully will be able to share those soon!

Thanks for popping by!

Old is New - Using Old Dies in New Ways!

Hello there crafty friends!  The Inspiration Team is back with even more fresh takes on some of Eileen Hull's older Sizzix dies.  The girls have been incorporating the “old” with new dies, products and techniques to give you some fresh inspiration!  You can join in on the fun by searching through your stash and breathing new life into some of YOUR older dies and supplies!  Enter our challenge with your old is new creation and choose your own theme for a chance to win a fabulous Sizzix prize pack filled with dies and embossing folders the IT is creating with.  

My choice was this die ↑

Place Card & Flowers #657722 you can find it HERE

I thought this was the PERFECT size to make treat bag toppers!

This was soooooo easy and fast!

Any holiday, birthday or just a treat to make someone's day!

Just melt some Wilton's Candy Melts in the microwave. Dip or drizzle over pretzels, lay on parchment or wax paper to cool. Once cool, just add 10-12 per bag. The bags are 4" X 6".

They have many colors to choose from! I just happen to have yellow!

Once in the bag I stapled two small staples using Tim's tiny attacher. EASY RIGHT?

I do this because I don't like the staples to show on the toppers.

To attach the toppers you just run your tape runner on each side of topper and press over bag.

Now here is where we use the Place Card & Flowers die

I choose some different papers to show you that just this one die can cover holidays and birthdays,baby showers and so much more!

They are cut out and here is where you could go wild to decorate them!

You do not need to use the flowers if you don't want to, you can add so many other decorations.

Here I am trying to choose what to use

This one here I used the Place Card and the Flowers!

It's Cute!

I know the yellow is not very Christmas like, but I wanted to show you an example of Christmas!

Next is Halloween and I know many of us LOVE Halloween in a spooky kind of way!

So I had to make one for Halloween!

As much as I love Halloween......I LOVE this OWL using the Place Card die!

He is a piece of wood that I just colored with my Derwent Inktense colored pencils and then blended the colors with Gamsol. I love him!

All of these with just one Place Card & Flower die!

Just think you could do party favors and Place cards all from the same die! Baby showers and birthdays, Easter.......I think you get the idea! Oh gosh.....turkey's and candy corn!

Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you like my idea on how to use this die in a few different ways!

Make it 3D with Eileen Hull dies!

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a fantastic holiday weekend.  It’s time for a new Art with Heart Challenge and our theme for July is “Make it 3-D”.  The Inspiration Team has been busy creating with Eileen's Make it 3-D die and our dear Shelly Hickox had a great idea to use this particular die as the focus of an Art with Heart Challenge.   For those of you that don’t know the Make it 3-D die is an easy way to make 3-D projects with your two-dimensional dies.  There are three different ways to “Make it 3-D” with the Make it 3-D die so the possibilities are truly endless!  You can use the Make it 3-D die with ANY of the Sizzix dies in your collection too. Want to learn more about the Make it 3-D die?  Check it our HERE

I am sad to say I did not get mine in time for this challenge (insert sad face here).

So I did the next best thing! I put my thinking cap on and came up with a 3D project using another Eileen Hull die piece!

I used a piece from the Canister die.

I grab my Canning Jar die and cut four canning jars. I cut eight lids, one for front and back of the jars. I punched holes in each of the canning jars and added vellum paper over the holes. I cut one of the canister piece showing above and glued a jar to each flap. I added a thin line of glue to each side of the jars and adhered them together. Tie some jute around each lid and add a battery operated candle and you have a cute votive for your picnics or rustic weddings or parties!

 Evening lighting!

I hope you join us for this months Art with Heart! Always a prize!
