Sizzix Vintage Travel: "Spring Break" Art With Heart Challenge with Eileen Hull

Let's take a break with a Vintage Travel.
As you know, each month I participate in the Art With Heart Challenge with Eileen Hull. This month, the theme is "Spring Break". The Inspiration Team is previewing Eileen's new Sizzix Vintage Travel line of dies and folders.

This week, I would like to share a few new projects that I created with the new Sizzix 3-D Adirondack Die and the Sizzix Thinlets Banners and Pennants Die Set.

The Sizzix Thinlets Banners and Pennants Die Set is a must-have set for cardmakers. Cute banners and pennants can be made in seconds!

You can add banners to anything!

Isn't the Sizzix 3-D Adirondack Chair adorable? It's made from matboard. Yes, It's literally a paper chair. Wouldn't it be a fun retirement gift? Or make a great placecard holder for a beach-themed party?

Eileen Hull Art With Heart Challenge: Going Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
As you know, each month I participate in the Art With Heart Challenge with Eileen Hull. This month, the theme is "Go Green".

As you can see, there's not much of the color green here. Instead, I used things from the recycling bin and made flowers with the Sizzix 3-D Wrapped Flower. This "Go Green" approach was a lot of fun. I discovered a few new things that I'd love to share with you.

I created the crate by using Sizzix Little Sizzles Mat Board, an embossing folder, and DecoArt Antiquing Cream. Below is a sample that I varnished with their Satin Varnish. Doesn't it look like real wood? I love this!

The Antiquing Cream is part of the new DecoArt line of Fluid Acrylic Paints and Mediums. 

To create my mat board crate, I used the brand-new Train Case die that's part of the Vintage Travel release. This die will be available this May. I used the bottom portion for my crate. Isn't it adorable? I can't wait!

The case is generously sized. Perfect for my flowers! The beautiful flower colors were created with the DecoArt Mists. 

So easy to use!

The Art with Heart Challenge is a monthly celebration of creativity!  Each month the Inspiration Team will be showcasing our Art with Heart created with Eileen Hull’s innovative Sizzix dies. This month, the theme is Going Green! We invite you to play along with us and share YOUR art with heart!

Here is a scrapbook layout that I created using a map die from the Vintage Travel line. The map is such a fun way to document travels.

I love that I scrapped these photos of my relatives that actually did enjoy Vintage Travel. 

Aren't they great? Gotta love the 60's. :)
