Three dimensional art... with heart

Introducing the 2025 Eileen Hull Creative Team!

Hi friends, Eileen here. So much is going on here but the big news is that I’m happy to announce the 2025 Eileen Hull Creative Team!


What a collection of talent we have here – I’m so happy that many returning members are back with us! Some team members have been part of the Educators group and have moved over so now everyone is on one team! I’m so excited to work with these special talented creators for 2025 – lots of surprises are coming your way 🙂

Please make sure to follow each team member and give them some love by subscribing to their channels and drop them a comment so they know their work is appreciated. Thanks again to every team member- each one brings their own spin and I love seeing them all! Here’s a list of the team and where you can find them:

Madeline Arendt
Teresita Arvelo
Jennie Atkinson
Susie Bentz
Pam Bray
Sharon Curtis
Sarah Elizabeth Dodd
Sue Eldred
Maggi Harding
Lisa Hoel
Jenny Marples
Amy Powers
Elizabeth Robinson
Margaret Sidenstick
Tonya Trantham

On Tuesday’s live, I finished up what we started last week – we used the Gift Box Die to create an organizer for my newly cleaned off desk! Watch the first part where we constructed the container HERE. See how simple it is to construct these boxes and keep ephemera at your fingertips. Or use them for a desk organizer in your office – they fit anywhere!


On Thursday, Margaret Sidenstick joined me for a new monthly feature where we take a die and find an alternate way to use it. Margaret made a half size Journal and I made a Paper Sorter using the Journal die. Watch HERE!

Still getting organized in 2025!

I am still at it, going through boxes and supplies, working on the #TIDYUP2025 Challenge we have going on in the Eileen Hull Fan Club Facebook group. If you want to be part of it, just take before and after pics of your space and share with us all. It keeps me going and I get great tips on ways to store things. More giveaways coming soon!


Inspiration from the 2025 Eileen Hull Creative Team…

This month the project theme for the Creative Team is “Friendship”. The designers are going back to any of Eileen’s dies or products in their stashes and creating some wonderful projects to inspire you! We have the last projects to share here plus the Round Up video for the month!

Sue Eldred created a Family Game Night box using the Skinny Mini Book Box Die. It’s the perfect size for holding some dice and a deck of cards! Cute and clever! Find all the details in Sue’s post.


Designer Lisa Hoel made a whimsical card to send to a friend. She used the Snowman Box Die, Sweater 3D Embossing Folder and Fan Favorites Stamp Set in its creation. Check it out on her blog for details!


Elizabeth Robinson also created a card. Those colors are so pretty! Products used are the Fan Favorites Stamp Set, Bookmark, Pockets & Toppers Die Set, Floral Pocket & Paperclips Die Set and Watercolor Flowers & Lattice Stencil Set. More details in her post.

Use Eileen Hull Dies to Organize!

Hi friends, Eileen here. You can use my dies to organize supplies! On today’s live, I will be creating with the Gift Box Die and making an organizer for my newly cleaned off workspace. Watch and see how simple it is to construct these boxes and keep ephemera at your fingertips. Or use them for a desk organizer in your office – they fit anywhere!


On Thursday, I am excited to have Margaret Sidenstick on for a new monthly feature! Margaret and I will be pushing the envelope on some dies and putting a new twist on them. This is going to be so much fun!

Still organizing…

I am still at it, going through boxes and supplies, working on the #TIDYUP2025 Challenge we have going on in the Eileen Hull Fan Club Facebook group. If you want to be part of it, just take before and after pics of your space and share with us all. It keeps me going and I get great tips on ways to store things. On Tuesday I will do the first giveaway so make sure to watch the live!


I have had to make some hard decisions… How is it going for you? I have been getting down to boxes I have not seen in years! Today I am organizing the Teams’ samples and it is a treasure trove! SO MANY IDEAS! But I am trying to stay focused. I haven’t been online much because I am really on a roll and don’t want to lose momentum. I love seeing pics of your spaces and on Sunday, January 26, make sure to watch because I will be sharing the video of what I have gotten up to so far when I take part in Cara Brandon’s monthlong Declutter and Get Organized 2025 Challenge; you can go here to see the calendar of events. Just click on each day and it will take you right to the video.

Last Thursday we did a live for Realeather showing how to make cord organizers from leather and I showed how to set a snap, rivet and button stud. Nothing like a good tool to get the job done! Just in time for all of our reorganizing efforts. You can watch it HERE if you missed it!

Projects from the Inspiration Team…

This month the project theme for the Creative Team is “Friendship”. The designers are going back to any of Eileen’s dies or products in their stashes and creating some wonderful projects to inspire you!

Jenny Marples took to her needle and thread to create fabulous stitched coasters. Check out Eileen’s Instagram account to catch the little how-to video. Jenny used the Plate & Pattern 4-Layer Stencil Set to mark her stitching lines on the fabric. So clever!


Tonya Trantham created this beautiful floral decor piece using the Charms and Shadowbox Frames Die Sets (plus some others). Check it out on her blog for the how-to!


Classes with Eileen!

On January 31 – February 26, Eileen will be traveling to Florida to teach two full days of classes at Crafting at the Nest! If you live anywhere nearby, I hope you can join us!

Pressing On – Getting Organized in 2025

Hi friends, Eileen here. I don’t know about you but I am finally serious about getting my studio cleaned up and organized – it feels so good to finally start! Thanks to all who have been posting their BEFORE and AFTER pics of your creative spaces for our Tidy Up 2025 Challenge in the Fan Club! Even just picking out a tiny space to work on is so satisfying, you may find yourself tackling larger areas – who knows!


It is so comforting to know that I are not alone and that others are struggling with the same issues as me! As you may recall, I started shoveling cleaning out the studio in order to be ready for my video on January 26. It all started with my friend Cara Brandon‘s invitation to join her and Dana K. White’s Declutter & Get Organized collaboration. Click HERE to see the calendar and links to all of the other crafters that are part of this event – so many good tips and ideas! Love seeing how everyone approaches organizing in a different way – but the important thing is for you to make your space work for you.

If you have been watching my lives, I have done several posts showing how to create a Bespoke (custom) journal. I need to use mine! So we will be finishing it up today on the live…


I am using the Journal die – you can find it HERE in my Etsy shop if you don’t have it already. Of course, if you don’t have that one, use one you have! Here are the links to this week’s videos – just click on the graphic and it will take you right to the event. In case you missed them, here are links to: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 …


On Thursday, it’s time for our monthly Realeather Crafting episode. We will be creating Cord Wraps for all those electronic charger cords and I’ll be sharing how to use the Snap Setter Kit – a very handy tool to have! Get your leather out and let’s make some Valentine gifts for family and friends!

Projects from the Inspiration Team…

This month the project theme for the Inspiration Team is “Friendship”. All of Eileen’s products are fair game for the designers to use. Take a moment to sort through your Eileen Hull stash and see what inspires you! Don’t let it distract you from your organizing though. (wink wink)

First up is Maggi Harding with a beautiful Valentine’s card! She used various Thinlits Die Sets (Floral Pocket & Paperclips, Tiled Alphanumeric and others) plus the gorgeous Floral Damask Embossing Folder. See the details on her blog and in the video.


Pam Bray created another cheerful card that is perfect to send to a friend! She used the Damask Embossing Folder, Fan Favorite Stamps, Plate & Pattern Stencil Set and the Bookmark, Pockets & Toppers Die Set. Check it out on her blog!


We have a final card for the week created by Sarah Lizzie. It’s a beautiful friendship card for a milestone birthday. She used the Tiled Alphanumeric and Wreath & Snowflake Die Sets to highlight the special day.


Classes with Eileen!

On January 31 – February 26, Eileen will be traveling to Florida to teach two full days of classes at Crafting at the Nest! If you live anywhere nearby, I hope you can join us!

January Friendship Theme + Getting Organized!

This month the project theme for the Inspiration Team is “Friendship”. They will be mixing and matching past releases of Eileen’s dies. Their makes will be sure to spark your own ideas and send you delving into your Eileen stash!

First up is Jennie Atkinson with her zippered pouch. Fabric is fabulous! She used various Thinlits Die Sets (Envelope, Folder & Flowers, Shadowbox Elements and others) to cut out the shapes she appliqued to the pouch. See the details in the video: 


Pam Bray created a lovely card showcasing friendship that is perfect to send to a friend! That would be some happy mail for sure. She used the Damask Embossing Folder, Fan Favorite Stamps, Plate & Pattern Stencil Set and the Charms Die Set. Check it out on her blog!
 


Message from Eileen Hull:

Hi friends – hope you had a great weekend! Looks like we are snowed in for a couple of days and I am loving it 🙂 

2025 is already getting busy. It’s hard to keep track of it all unless you have a system. For the first few lives of the year, I will be setting up a journal for myself to keep track of everything so the details are managed. I will be using the Journal die, one of my favorites. You can find it HERE in my Etsy shop if you don’t have it already. Of course, if you don’t have that one, use one you have! Here are the links to this week’s videos – just click on the graphic and it will take you right to the event. In case you missed them, here are links to Part 1 and Part 2.

Watch Part 3 today!

Watch Part 4 on Thursday…


Organizing News!

I started cleaning out the studio in order to be ready (and not embarrassed!) for my video on January 26 sharing how I store my dies. Click HERE to see the calendar and links to all of the other crafters that are part of Cara Brandon and Dana K. White’s Declutter & Get Organized collaboration. Glad to know I am not the only one who struggles with organizing issues.

It is quite a task but at least I can walk through my studio now! I am determined to get it where I want so I am able to find everything and feel motivated to create here. It’s hard to say good bye to some items because I am sentimental and things have memories attached, but I am getting more and more ruthless 🙂 I want the space!

As you know, it gets worse before it gets better and there are many piles in here. So you may not be seeing my face for a few weeks in my videos, unless I can figure out how to blur my background. 🙂 Also we are getting two bathrooms renovated which is going to take 5 weeks and involve early mornings and lots of noise.

Classes with Eileen!

On January 31-February 26, I will be traveling to Florida to teach two full days of classes at Crafting at the Nest! If you live anywhere nearby, I hope you can join us!

Merry Christmas with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

Merry Christmas to you all! This month the Inspiration Team designers are picking their three favorite projects from the year and sharing them with all you Eileen fans. We have a few more to share this week:

Lisa Hoel had a hard time picking out only three projects! Mixed media is one of her favorite modes to work in and it shows in her makes. Visit her blog to see the details. 

Elizabeth Robinson has fab set of projects for her favorites too. So lovely! She also has a blog post round up of all three so you can get a closer look. Head on over!

Merry Christmas from Eileen:

Hi friends –  I’m back from NY visiting with Mom and my sister. We had a good visit and got lots done.  Mom is doing great – I could not help but think of how she was a year ago – bedridden and on hospice. Now she is up and walking – doing puzzles, knitting, reading and part of the world again. My mother is one amazing lady!

I have a really fun project today and hope you can join me. We are creating a box of cards using the Skinny Mini Book Box die – you can find it HERE! I found a cool tool and will be using it with my gel plate to create some really pretty prints! Hope you can join me, but if not, I get it – It’s Christmas Eve! In that case, I hope you will catch me on replay. 

I want to thank you all for your support and your friendship. I am so blessed to know all of you fantastic people! Also, so many thanks for our amazing and talented team who are constantly dreaming up fabulous projects and ideas to inspire us all. Sending my wishes for a happy holidays to all! 

2025 is coming soon. Any ideas for things you would like to see happening in the group? Let us know in the Eileen Hull Fan Club! 

Bonus Christmas projects for your inspiration!

Tonya Trantham has another bonus Christmas card to share. Using Eileen’s Plate & Pattern Layered Stencil Set and the Wreath & Snowflake Thinlits Die Set, she made this beautiful card.

We also have an extra Christmas project from Pam Bray for you too! She used the Card Caddy Die to make this festive holder for a pack of Christmas napkins. (Looks like a perfect hostess gift to me!) It would also be great for holding cookies or candy. You can find more details in her post.
