Eileen Hull Weekend & Giveaway!

Good morning, everyone! I am so excited to share a project I made for the Sizzix Eileen Hull Weekend. Make sure you check out the Sizzix blog for lots of inspiration using Eileen's fantastic dies. I also hear there are prizes to be won!

For my project, I combined two different ScoreBoard dies - the Teacup and the Caddy. I call it the Tea Caddy! Brilliant, huh? I was pretty thrilled to see that they would fit together. :)

To create my tea caddy, I started by cutting the pieces from chipboard and then painting them with a Snow Cap Adirondack Dabber. The back piece was embossed using the Alterations Stripes Texture Fade and then lightly sanded.

When I think of tea, I think of Great Britain, and when I think of GB, I think of Artistic Outpost's Union Jack stamp. I stamped the flag using markers and then overstamped it with the sentiment - how perfect does that flag fit?! Next, the edges were sanded a bit using Tim's Sanding Grip. I am a PG Tips drinker so I filled a cellophane bag with a few and tied it with a ribbon that was dyed with Faded Jeans Distress Stain. Keeping with the royal theme, I added a little idea-ology crown tied with some of the new Paper Twine. The whole thing was assembled using my Scotch Tape Glider.

Wow, I just realize this totally fits the theme over at the Inspiration Journal blog! This month we're celebrating Red,White, and Blue. If you join in, you could win a $50 gift certificate! Click here for the deets.

I hope you enjoyed my little experiment. I think there are so many ways this idea could be used. I can't wait to play a little more with both of these dies!
