I met designer Eileen Hull at CHA-S this year and when she asked me I was more than happy to participate with this blog hop using her Fresh Vintage dies from Sizzix. Here is the first die I was asked to use:
I used my new Imagestamps as they fit the large dies perfectly. They are currently available from Scrapbook.com.
Products used:
Seam binding ribbon
Black dot paper-Scenic Route-no longer available
Letter stickers-Making Memories
Clear Embossing Powder
Old book paper
Click on the Sizzix Fresh Vintage blinky icon to see what the other designers have done with the Album die.
FAQ about the Fresh Vintage Blog Hop:
How do I hop around to see ideas using the current featured die?
Every Tuesday and Thursday between September 27-November 3, 2011 there will be a new Sizzix Fresh Vintage die featured on 6-10 of the 75 participating designers’ blogs. The navigation buttons for “Hop Back” and “Hop Forward” will allow you to easily hop around and see projects featuring whatever the current die is, since those buttons are programmed to navigate only to the blogs that are participating for that die. On the next Tuesday/Thursday, the buttons will automatically reprogram themselves to navigate to the blogs that are signed up for the next featured die.
What if I start at a designer’s blog that isn’t one of the 6-10 signed up for that die?
No problem! Simply hit either the “Hop Forward” or “Hop Back” button on the Fresh Vintage navigation widget from any blog’s sidebar and you’ll automatically advance to one of the participating blogs.
Can I go back and view the ideas for a previously featured die?
Of course! Go to Eileen Hull’s blog and find the “Blog Hops” link at the top of the page. It will bring up her blog posts where you’ll find direct links to each participating blog along with a thumbnail image of the project.
Where can I buy the Sizzix Fresh Vintage dies, by Eileen Hull?
You can visit Sizzix.com to find a local and online retailers for Sizzix products. Also be sure to visit Oh My Crafts, one of this blog hop’s sponsors, (between the dates of September 27-November 3, 2011) and enter for a chance to win a Flower Layers #9 die!
The Blog Hop has ended and the navigation widget is no longer in the sidebar. How can I see the ideas?
Go to Eileen Hull’s blog and find the “Blog Hops” link at the top of the page. It will bring up her blog posts where you’ll find direct links to each participating blog along with a thumbnail image of the project.
