Our theme this month is “Alphabet Soup”! We’re still focusing on Eileen’s new Sizzix release but with a special emphasis on the Nora Alphabet and Numbers Die Sets.
Sarah Lizzie created this beautiful “Welcome Home” sign to hang up for a decor piece. It looks so inviting! She used the Nora Alphabet and Garden Gate Album Die. Find all the details here.
Get ready for a clever use of the Nora Alphabet set! Pam Bray went all out and created this fun family “word search” wall hanging. Love it! See how she did it here.

News from Eileen…
Hi everyone! Sorry – I have been off the grid for a few days. This past week was a little rough at our house as my husband had major surgery and it was scary to see all he had to go through. Thankfully, he has been doing much better the past couple of days. On June 8, it will be me off to the hospital for a hysterectomy 🙁 So… I will not be going live for the next couple of weeks.
But this week I have a fun project for you! I’m using the new Ephemera Pocket & Tags die to make an adorable little pocket book. 🙂 This is especially great if you are using scraps or 6″ x 6″ paper pads. I hope you can join me!
Thanks to Leslie Miller and Avril Tsui, our recent Guest Designers, for sharing their amazing work! Last Tuesday, we chatted with Avril and saw some of her gorgeous projects, heard about her recent cruise and loss of her beloved pup Rexy. You can watch the replay here.
I have somewhat recovered from my road trip out to Chicago for the h + h Americas trade show, a visit with Madeline Arendt, class at One Paper Place, visit with my friend Betsy Burnett, some KOA camping and the NAMTA Creativation trade show! My little trailer Daisy did herself proud and had lots of visitors. I could not have done any of the setup without the help of my friends, especially roommates Susie Bentz and Rebekah Meier, and fellow designers Ann Butler, Julie McGuffee, Kassy Lawrence, Sarah Clark and Elly Mae Habetts. Thanks to all!
Here’s a peek at a couple days on my trip.
The Creative Team was also a huge support as my brand new Sizzix collection launched while I was traveling. It was the Team’s inspiring designs that showcased what could be done with these dies so many thanks to my amazingly talented team, as always! Keep checking for new ideas – we are just getting started! Watch the Release Party here if you missed it.
The May 2026 release from Sizzix designer Eileen Hull is filled with vintage charm, florals, and creative possibilities for makers of all kinds. This exciting collection features seven new products, including the return of the beloved Garden Gate Album die by popular demand, five new Thinlits die sets, and a beautiful new embossing folder inspired by watercolor florals. Designed for journaling, cardmaking, mixed media, and dimensional projects, the collection blends Eileen’s signature style of storytelling, texture, and interactive design with endless opportunities for customization and creativity.
