Eileen Hull’s Let’s Get Sewing April Wrap Up!

It’s time to wrap up our April theme of “Let’s Get Sewing!” The Creative Team has explored all sorts of creative ways to use Eileen’s dies with sewing and stitching. Let’s see what inspiration the Team has for us this week:

Madeline Arendt used Eileen’s Notebook Die to make a credit card holder that is easy to tuck into a pocket or your purse. So clever! She used fabric, paper and fusible interfacing in its construction. More details and tutorial here!


Sue Eldred shows you how to make your own pocket sewing kit using the Needle Book Die and felt. This would make a great little Mother’s Day present! Find the instructions here.

News from Eileen…

Hi friends – thank you so much for your kind responses to my video/announcements last week. You are very special to me and I am comforted to know you guys have my back.

Eileen Live!

Today it’s time for One Die Three Ways! I am excited to be creating with Margaret and Teresita! We will each be creating with the Waterfall & Tags die set, which is a must have if you are a journaler. I love to craft with friends because it’s fun to see how other crafters, craft! I hope you will craft along with us at home, then share it in the Fan Club so we can see your version! If you don’t have the featured die, you can find it here:


MORE ideas for the Waterfall & Tags Die Set:

Here are a few flashback projects made using the Waterfall & Tags Die Set that Eileen and crew will be working with on the live. It’s always good to get more inspiration and that is a versatile die set!

Jenny Marples used them to make journaling/photo spots in this journal:


Lisa Hoel integrated them into her journal pages and hid surprises underneath. You can see more in her post here.


Eileen Hull on the road!

This time next week, I will be on the road to Chicago to go to the H + H Americas show, a trade show for the fiber/stitching/sewing industry. I’ll also be meeting up with creative friends to put our heads together and see how we might fit in here. If the internet is cooperating, I will do a video so you can see what it’s all about! 

On Saturday, May 9, I am headed to One Paper Place in Frankfort, IL to teach this Watercolor Garden Gate Album (die coming soon!) You will also learn lots of techniques, have fun and get a tour of Daisy! If you live nearby, tell your family you want this for a Mother’s Day gift 🙂 REGISTER HERE


DAISY Update!

It took a while to shake that flu we had last week but we managed to break free and dive back into the renovating of Daisy. Hayward got the benches done and our friend and neighbor, Joe, made a beautiful scalloped shelf for over my desk and it is perfect! She is looking really good – tonight I finished painting and am ready to move on to decorating.


I found an unopened 3″ memory foam pad in the barn and after a day of expanding, it looks nice and fluffy. I am hoping I can use it for cushions on the benches – stay tuned…


THE TINY HAND TOTE BAGS HAVE ARRIVED!!!

Remember, if you order the May Die Bundle, you will get one free with your order!

April’s “Let’s Get Sewing” project inspiration!

The Creative Team might be exploring textiles, paper, mixed media, slow stitching, machine stitching, faux stitching… there are so many ways to create within this theme using Eileen’s dies. Let’s see what inspiration the Team has for us this week:

Lisa Hoel sewed these cute pillows for Eileen to use as decor in Daisy the trailer. The woven heart and tongues on the larger pillow were made using her Tunnel Arches Die Set. More details here!


Jenny Marples created these beautiful color wheel journal pages using the Swatch Card Stamp Set, Windowsill Vase & Flowers Die Set and Home Sweet Home Die Set. Catch her reel on Instagram to see more!


Elizabeth Robinson added this sweet little stitched felt element to the cover of a journal. Loving all those little details! You can take a closer look here. (Home Sweet Home Die Set, Tunnel Arches Die Set)


News from Eileen Hull:

Hi friends – I wanted to let you know about some things that have been going on in my life behind the scenes and I’m going to lay it all out there in this video, so I hope you can join me. 

And after we do that, let’s get back to making! For some reason the Floral Bookmark & Pocket set was laying on my table and I had a new idea for a new way to use it! You can find it here in case you don’t have it.


If you missed the Craft Along last week, it turned out to be a fun one! You can watch by clicking the graphic below!


Daisy the Trailer update!

My husband is working every spare minute to get this trailer up and ready for the road. Last week the paneling went up and now he is working on building the benches! It’s so exciting to watch Daisy take shape! I have so many decorating ideas but not enough time to do them all.

More news from Eileen…

DAISY UPDATE

Last week was spent on wiring the camper – I can’t even tell you how many trips to Home Depot we made to get just the right screw, wire, bolt or tool to get the job done. But last Friday night, it was done. We found a bag of insulation that Bill, the previous owner, had sent along. He had saved the original insulation and it was trimmed out and ready to be installed, so we taped it up and are now prepping tthe wallboard. Once that’s done, it’s time for benches and built ins. But I’m supposed to leave in three weeks and I need to decorate! Stay tuned…

Eileen’s New Dies are available for Pre-Order!

The scoop from Eileen…

Hi all – It is crunch time here at the EH Headquarters 🙂 I’m making samples for the Release Party, putting together supplies for the trip, moving around my studio again and doing a little babysitting before we leave for the big trip to the UK. Some things have changed as far as flying so hopefully we have all the paperwork in order.

SNEAK PEEK TIME!
Last Thursday I shared a SNEAK PEEK of my new Sizzix dies coming out September 1! It’s a really cool collection that I can’t wait to share – I hope you like it. The bundle of new dies will be available for pre-order in my Etsy shop and there’s a special deal for you, friends. 


The Home Sweet Home Bundle includes three Thinlit die sets and an A-5 3D Embossing Folder. The retail price is $92 – get the bundle here for $85 PLUS FREE SHIPPING in the US, you can find it HERE! If you don’t have the Handbound Journal, you may want to get that now as this collection was designed to fit inside the book to create a tunnel book. 

Live from Eileen Hull:

Today in the spirit of “Mix and Match”, our theme for the month, I am creating a customized journal for my trip to the UK coming up in two weeks! I’m using the Skinny Mini Book Box as a base and pages made from the Handbound Journal. Then I’ll add some pockets and cards using the Library Pocket. I’m thinking of decorating with text pages and some napkin decoupage… because it has been a while! BTW, I have some new napkins up in the Etsy shop!


A flat color wheel is good but a 3D one will be even better 🙂 I think these would make a good ornament or banner for your studio. I’m using the Rainbow Wheel die, Color Wheel stencil, some watercolor rejects as background and maybe some gel prints! Hope you can join me…


On the road!

The UK Roadshow starts in just a few weeks! I’ll be teaching at four stores along the way: Loobi Crafts, Country View Crafts, Amelia’s and The Mad Scrapper. There are a couple spots open to contact the store near you for a seat. 


New Sizzix Dies Release Party Sept. 2nd!

Watch the Release Party on September 2 at 8:00 PT/11:00 ET/

4:00 UK/1:00 AU. I will be sharing from an English hotel and hoping like crazy there are no issues while my team joins from around the world 🙂

Mix & Match Inspiration with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

The August theme for the Team is “Mix & Match”. That means combining old and new product into exciting projects for your inspiration! Let’s see what the Creative Team designers have for us this week…

First up is Jennie Atkinson with this beautiful little journal. Jennie says, “This small journal is made from paper scraps and some of my older favourite dies. It can either standalone or, as I intended, it fits into the Handbound Journal as a flip out page.” New Dies used: Handbound Journal, Rainbow Wheel Die Set, Journal Hardware, Swatch Card Stamps


Maggi Harding created this summery Handbound Journal packed full of wonderful details. Can you spot all the Eileen dies she used in the flip through? See more details and photos here.


What is Eileen Hull up to?…

Hi all – it has been a crazy couple of weeks and this upcoming one is no exception! 

On Tuesday, I shared a really cool product from Grafix Arts that I saw at Creativation. It’s a product called Dura-Lar that has a lot of interesting properties – I explored them on the live. And to make it even better, the Designer Dura-Lar Prints that I used were designed by some of my creative friends, Kassandra Louise Designs, Cat Kerr and Terri Conrad! I hope check out the replay – the sheets would work great in journals or on cards!


SNEAK PEEK TIME!

On Thursday I will finally be sharing a SNEAK PEEK of my new Sizzix dies coming out in just a few weeks on September 1! It’s a really cool one that I can’t wait to share – I hope you like it as much as I do. The bundle will be available for pre-order in my Etsy shop so stay tuned for more info on Thursday!


The UK Roadshow starts in just a few weeks! I’ll be teaching at four stores along the way: Loobi Crafts, Country View Crafts, Amelia’s and The Mad Scrapper. The store owners have graciously agreed to come on the show with me again to answer any last minute questions and updates. I just sent them a few more items that I would ask students to bring so if you are coming to class, make sure to get the updated supply list 🙂 


If you’d like to meet the store owners, click HERE – they are a delight!

In case you haven’t seen it yet, there’s a new product in town! It’s called the Tiny Tray – great for storing tiny bits and bobs. You can find it in Eileen Hull Etsy Shop.

Here we are at the start of a new month and the theme for the Team is “Mix & Match”. That means combining old and new product into exciting projects for your inspiration!

First up is Sarah Lizzie with this beautiful artist themed phone stand. She used Eileen’s Gift Box Die With Scalloped Edges Die for the base and decorated it with the new Rainbow Wheel Die Set. Love it! Find more details and the how to here!



Pam Bray created a cool journal using all sorts of dies from Eileen’s product line. I really like how she has a flap acting as the closure mechanism. Some of the main dies she used are the Journal Die, Notebook Die and Rainbow Wheel Die Set. See more details here.
