Three dimensional art... with heart

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.

Top Drawer Challenge in September with Eileen Hull

This month the Inspiration Team is focusing on using Eileen’s Stacking Drawer Die in their creative projects. You can configure the draewr in all sorts of ways as well as using it on its own. (It also fits perfectly inside the Treasure Box.) Let’s wrap up our month of inspiration and see what the designers have for us this week.

Designer Lisa Hoel stacked up three drawers to make this little fall themed decoration. Think of all the nuts this squirrel could fit in the drawers ha ha. You can find out more about this whimsical make in Lisa’s blog post.

Top Drawer Project Inspiration with Eileen Hull

Welcome to September! This month you can feast on top drawer project inspiration with our focus on Eileen Hull’s Stacking Drawer Die. As you will see, it can be configured in all sorts of ways to construct creative makes. (It also fits perfectly inside the Treasure Box.) Let’s take a look…

First off we have a beautiful project from Pam Bray. She’s put two drawers side by side on a base made with the lid of the Treasure Box. Love it! She also used Eileen’s Jewel Loom to weave a topper to decorate it. That and the crochet flowers add such a lovely touch. Check out all the details on Pam’s blog.
