Collage Frames x 3 + Accordion Shadow Box Frame

New Eileen Hull die release today!  New in more ways then the release date. These dies are all thinlit dies and along with the three sets of dies is a beautiful 3D embossing folder. 


I was excited to work have the opportunity to work with these new designs.  Once seeing the process  of constructing the frames, the challenge of the creative element of the making process went into affect.  Today I will share the set of three shadow box frames and an accordion-style three-dimensional display frame that can sit on any shelf.  At a later date the making process will be shared for these projects. 

As with other releases Eileen will have a “give away”. Details are as follows: 

GIVEAWAY: Comment on each participating designers blogs and during the live on Tuesday and let us know what you would create with these dies and you will be entered to win one of the items in the Chapter 2 release!




A trio of three-dimensionsal frames were made from heavy stock paper for both of the shadow box projects. I found that using a 120# watercolor paper worked well for both.  Each of the three square frames were collaged with torn dictionary pages and aged with inks before being given a clear coat of varnish.  Fill with any variety of embellishments to fill the frames. A ribbon hanger was added for hanging. Each is backed with a piece of burlap paper for a neat finish.

Another project to share with you is this accordian style three-dimensional frame I enjoyed creating. Made with three of small shadow box frames, they connect with hinges so the frames can  unfold and are decorated on both sides. It can sit nicely on a shelf or table.
