Trading a Little Art on a Block


This week the Stampendous Design Team is playing along with the Inspiration Team of Eileen Hull Designs and we're creating art on all side of a block!

We've been sharing some designs from the Stampendous January Catalog using a box die designed by Eileen Hull for Sizzix. It's an amazing little crafty circle of fun, but here we are and having a grand time of it.


See a full supply list with instructions at the bottom of this post, but to see a glimpse of some fun steps click on step by step photo below.




We have prizes to go along with this "Block" Party!
Three (3) winners will be randomly chosen from comments on all the blogs during our collaboration posts. Then from those three we’ll randomly pick a GRAND PRIZE winner! Two of the winners will receive Stampendous PenPattern Petal and PenPattern Flutter cling stamps. They’ll also receive enough pre-cut, premium matboard from Sizzix to make two boxes of your own, plus some extra pieces for fiddly bits! The Grand Prize winner will receive the stamps as above, a whole package of matboard, AND the Sizzix die to cut your own ATB boxes! Uh, WOW! 

If that weren’t enough, eligibility for these amazing prize packages has expanded to include our international fans too!



We know you won’t want to miss a single creation in this hop, and the Eileen Hull Designs Inspiration Team has several members that live outside the United States, so it took a while for them to get their products from us. We need to give them time to post and you time to comment, so the comment deadline will be Sunday, March 8th. A whole extra week! We will continue posting links as we receive them from the Inspiration Team, so be sure to keep checking back. You get one entry for every comment, so you don’t want to miss the chance to leave a thoughtful comment on each project. For those who tend to get lost, we’ll post a “cumulative” link list of links so far on Saturday, February 28th and Saturday, March 7th. Then you can check your progress.

Thank you for stopping by today. Here are more designers that are playing in the block party.
