This Valentines Day, the Design Team at Sizzix is celebrating the one and only Eileen Hull and her extraordinary die designs. There is something special about Eileen's dies. They are so fun, so unique, so easily adaptable to any occasion and let's face it....just fun to use. I chose to highlight her Mini Shopping / Coupon Bag and boy is it one cute die!! I love making little gift bags, seriously, if you don't believe me, just scroll on down, because I can create gift bags till the cows come home!! hahaha!! So when I see a die like this one, I just gotta have it. I hope you enjoy my little gift bags as much as I enjoyed creating them and when you're finished browsing here....make sure you click to the Sizzix blog page here to see the amazing designs from all the other designers and what they've created with Eileen's dies. Soooo much inspiration!! :)
As I was creating these little gift bags, I happened to drop on on it's side, and I had just cut out the center and thought....oh my, that looks like a old school camera....so voila, it became one. The little camera in front has removable lid that I created just by measuring the sides and, adding a little extra, scoring then gluing the sides, (looks a bit crooked in the pic, but it sit's nice and straight right on top). I just added a little bakers twine to the keep it all together.
Here are a few more pics...
Here's the die I'm raving about....
Well thankyou all so kindly for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my project and I hope it inspires you to try Eileen's "Mini Shopping / Coupon Bag" die. You will love it!! :) Have a wonderful Valentines Day! :)
Oh, I would love to have one of these little bags filled with sweets!

Your boxes are fantastic and the little camera is brilliant! As always, your photographs are so incredible. When are you going to publish a book? I want to buy it!
