2025 Journal Projects with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

5 Dec

All throughout the month of November the Inspiration Team designers shared their 2025 Journal projects featuring a variety of Eileen Hull Dies and themes. Eileen’s versatile dies allow you to create such a wide variety of styles and project type! Check out the Round Up video below:

Here’s a closer look at the two journals shared last week. The first is from Lisa Hoel and the second was created by Jenny Marples. Both used the Mini Album Die as the journal base.

Adding to this week’s inspiration is a flash back project using Eileen’s Tiled Alphanumeric Thinlits Die. A pack of these quick and easy Thank You cards (from Maggi Harding) would make a great gift to give.

It’s the Little Things – Make Journal Fodder with Eileen Hull Dies

As we know, it’s the little details that can really make a project! This June, we are focusing on using Eileen’s dies to make journal fodder – those little bits and pieces that make your journal pages sing. Let’s see what inspiration the designers have for us this week…

Jenny Marples made a huge pile of fodder using dies and Eileen’s Maker Forte stamps and then combined it to make gorgeous journal pages. It’s great to just make a stash and have it at the ready for larger projects! See all the details on Jenny’s blog post.

Making Journal Fodder – Build a Stash!

15 Jun

Making journal fodder (all those fun bits for layering and tucking into a journal project) is our theme for June and we’re having a blast with it! Just sitting and making bits and pieces to build a stash is lots of fun. No need to have a specific project in mind. Go for it and they are sure to come in handy for future projects.

Maggi Harding created a whole pile of a variety of different fodder bits. Making fodder is a great way to use up leftover scraps from other projects too. Pay her blog a visit to see all the details.

Journal Love Projects Wrap Up for Eileen Hull

22 Feb

The end of February is upon us! Boy time sure flies. We have had an inspiring month full of Journal Love projects shared by the designers. Have you been sharing your makes in the Fan Club? Scroll on to see the last batch of project shares…

Lisa Hoel leaned into the “Love” theme with a Valentine tag journal complete with stand. (Made using the Phone Stand and Frame Pocket Journal Dies.) Her thought behind the journal was that you could fill it with the reasons you love your significant other. See all the details on her blog!

The love theme extends to creations other than journal love projects as well. Maggi Harding used Eileen’s new Library Pocket, ATC Card & Tabs Die Set to embellish a scrapbook page. Cool! See more in Maggi’s post.

Shaker cards are the best! Tonya Trantham used the frame pocket portion from the Frame Pocket Journal Die to make a sweet little Valentine shaker card. So cute! This idea would be a great component on a larger card or in a journal. See the how-to on Tonya’s blog.
