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

23 Apr

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.

Merry Christmas & Creative Team Favorite Projects

23 Dec

Merry Christmas from Eileen…

The car packing has begun and in a little bit we will be headed off to my daughter’s. But I couldn’t leave without telling you how much I appreciate you all and wishing you a restful, relaxing and inspired holiday season! I will be back in the New Year with some really exciting news… so stay tuned. 🙂 Many thanks to my talented and generous team for supplying us with inspiration all year long 🫶👏! And thanks to all of you for being there – this community would be nothing if you were’t here watching the videos, commenting on projects and sharing what you are doing. Overall, you are awesome and I love what we have built here. Thank you for everything.

I want to thank all who shared input with me during the holiday party 🙂 I will be putting up a poll in the Fan Club after Christmas, asking what kind of content you would like to see. I’d really like to know your thoughts as we head into 2026!

NOTE: The ETSY SHOP is open! My amazing friend Debbie will be here filling orders while I’m gone. I have new products to add when I get back. 🙂

Virtual Holiday Party!

Thanks to all who chatted and appeared on our Virtual Holiday Party! If you missed it, HERE is the link. So nice to see you all and take some time together in this hectic season.

Inspiration Team favorite 2025 projects:

December is the month when the Creative Team looks back over the year and picks their three favorite projects to reminisce over. It’s always hard to pick just a few! We are wrapping it up with more projects and a round up video.

Lisa Hoel created some intricate journals this past year and they made her top three! You can find more photos and video flip throughs in her post.

Warm Thanksgiving Wishes and a Die Cut Holiday Village series

25 Nov

COUNTING MY BLESSINGS…

Hi friends – we are celebrating Thanksgiving this week in the US so Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! It’s a good time of year for all of us to give thanks for our crafting community! We are so lucky to have a place to gather and celebrate our common interest – the love of creating. Thankful for my talented team for sharing their inspirational art with us; I am so grateful for each of you and look forward to more fun in 2026!

NO LIVE THURSDAY

I am cooking the turkey this year and am having family over so I will not be going live on Thursday as usual. But you never know – I may be popping in at some time over the weekend. 🙂 Make sure you have signed up to be notified when I go live so you don’t miss anything!

UNICORN DIES

You may have noticed I have been listing some of my retired dies in my Etsy shop – many are hard to find and listed on eBay at outrageous prices! These dies are evergreen – they will not go out of style. Create something unique by combining pieces from different dies. Want to see this in action? Watch my livestreams and follow along with my new series called “Building a Die-Cut Holiday Village”.

On Tuesday I will be getting on the glitz and creating some putz houses using the Notebook, Tunnel Arches and more! Watch by clicking on the graphic below. This will take you to youTube. Facebook has been a challenge lately and dropped a couple videos mid-stream so YouTube might be the better option. And don’t forget to like and subscribe 🙂 Also if you click Notify Me, you will get an alert whenever I go live.

Holiday Village Live!

Are you following the new series called Build a Die-Cut Holiday Village? I love the idea of using the ScoreBoards dies as bases because they are sturdy and will last from year to year. Join me today on the live to get started on this. Don’t worry if you miss one. They will (as always) be available on YouTube.

Inspiration from the Creative Team…

For November, Eileen’s Creative Team is mixing and matching the Home Sweet Home Collection with past products to create any sort of Christmas themed projects – cards, ornaments, decorations or whatever! The inspiration has been awesome!

Pam Bray created a wonderful Christmas Wishes tunnel card. I love Santa peeking through the front window! She used the Tunnel Arches, Windowsill Vase & Flowers and the Home Sweet Home die sets. Check out the details here.

Madeline Arendt has gathered over a dozen different projects, past and present, to inspire you. Here are just two of them – made using the Geometric Box Die and the Wreath & Snowflake Thinlits Die Set and honeycomb ornaments made with the 3-D Ornament Box Die. Head to her post to see the rest!

Lisa Hoel made a passel of cute little gift tags using the Tunnel Arches and Home Sweet Home Die Sets. Love all those little animals! You can find more details here.

Enabler alert!

Eileen added the MEGA Christmas/Holiday Napkin Package to the shop. This is a super huge napkin collection to the shop of 27 different sizes and designs! She packaged it this way so that there is something for everyone. There are lots of winter and nature designs in here, as well as specific holiday ones. All work great for the napkin decoupage technique – she loves the soft effect.

Adventures with Eileen Hull & the Creative Team

2 Oct

September saw the release of Eileen’s new Home Sweet Home Collection from Sizzix. Below is a recap of all the fabulous projects made by the Creative Team…

Eileen is on vacation! (not jealous or anything lol) She has a message for you:
“Hi friends – we are on our way to Rome to start our anniversary cruise. I did not bring my computer, I am not teaching, and I am not planning to go live – this is a real vacation… unless I change my mind. 😀 Debbie is taking care of the Etsy shop so if you need anything, it is available! I have a new idea that I want to tell you about when I get back! Also we had so much fun this past weekend with the kids visiting – however I forgot to pick the winners for the release party so I will do that when I get back too. Please keep sharing in the group – I will be checking in!”

Projects from the Creative Team…

We have some last September projects to share and then a peek at our new October theme…

Lisa Hoel made a shaker Christmas tree ornament using the Home Sweet Home Die Set, Tunnel Arches Die Set and Windowsill & Flowers Die Set. So cute!

Jenny Marples had a pile of leftover diecuts and she used them to create this beautiful little framed piece. Love it! Leftovers never looked so good!

For October, the Creative Team will making projects still using the Home Sweet Home Collection but with a Fall/Halloween twist! Lisa Hoel made this lovely autumnal wedding card using the new Lacy Leaves embossing folder and leaf cuts from some of Eileen’s older die sets.
