I am so excited to announce a new partnership- you are invited to meet Eileen Hull Educators!
At Creativation this past January, I had the opportunity to talk with many well-known industry “big shots” when I was demoing my new dies in the Sizzix booth :-). Some kindly let me know they enjoyed working with my dies and I had an idea- start a group of educators who are spreading the ScoreBoards love!
As you scroll down, you will see many super-talented teachers, writers, designers, YouTubers, past Inspiration Team members, bloggers and artists who will be sharing their work with us.
How was this group chosen?
I have known most of the artists for a long time. What they all have in common is a love for making outstanding creations using my Sizzix dies. They are teachers who know how to use my products and show others how to use them in their classes, videos, demos and writing. I love that! There is nothing more exciting than collaborating with fellow creatives and I am so honored that they agreed to join me in this new venture.
Where will you see them?
Could be anywhere! You might find them on YouTube with a video tutorial, at a trade show teaching a class, sharing a magazine article they have written, teaching a class in your area or sharing a project they have posted on their blog. I asked this group if they would share their work with me so I can pass their fabulous creations along. They have graciously agreed and now we all can be inspired by their designs.
So now, in addition to my amazing Inspiration Team, you’ll be meeting the artists you see below whenever they pop in with an EH project to share! I encourage you to welcome them to our community and follow them on social media. Here they are…
Meet Eileen Hull Educators
I’m Anita Houston, aka The Artful Maven. I love everything about Art and have tried it all, but mostly dabble in Mixed Media, Paper Crafting, General Crafting, Encaustics, and Painting, and I currently have a line of stamps. I’m on the road a lot, teaching and demoing in the U.S., but mostly in Texas as that’s where I’m from. I truly love what I do, and get such a sense of fulfillment when participants in my classes radiate with the joy of creating something. I LOVE using Eileen Hull’s dies, and am thrilled to be a part of her team, as well as her friend. You can see my work, tutorials, and products on my website or follow me on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest

For Betsy Skagen (which rhymes with toboggan), her previous careers as a news reporter, commercial writer, graphic designer, small business owner and mom of special needs individuals helped develop the skills she now uses as artist and product designer. Betsy has long used art to balance the hectic lifestyle of her ADHD, unicycling and tightrope walking family. She lives with her husband, son, daughter and two big dogs in the arctic circle of Minnesota. Yes, some of her family really does walk the high wire and ride unicycles, but so far only the dogs have mastered counter-surfing. Follow Betsy on her blog, Paper Calliope.

I am a DIY, paper crafting, picture taking, creative kind of gal (also kind of an organizing nut)! I love to find good junk to re-purpose into great treasures. Keep up with Sue Eldred on her blog, Sue’s Creative Workshop, Facebook and Instagram.
I am a freelance designer, enjoying my creative journey experimenting with stamping, mixed media etc., incorporating lots of layers, texture and vintage finds whenever I can into my eclectic pieces. I have been following this journey for over 20 years and I am delighted to design for several magazine publications and to have the opportunity to design my own stamps through AALL&Create all of which combine beautifully with Eileen’s products. I am looking forward to experimenting further with Eileen’s dies and my stamps and hope you will ride along this journey with me. Absolutely thrilled to be an Ambassador for Eileen’s products and I am looking forward to sharing my journey with you! Follow Tracy Evans on her blog, Facebook and Instagram.
Having been a paralegal for over 20 years, I am well familiar with the daily grind of the 9-5 world, etching out pockets of time here and there to hone my craft (usually after kids were in bed until wee hours of the morning). During my employment with Sizzix, I was able to share my eclectic style using many mediums as well as teach project classes to consumers and retailers alike. My real passion is to create projects and teach classes which I hope to start doing again on a regular basis; even if only in my basement! I am excited for the opportunity to share my love of art with and through Eileen; she is a talented, lovely lady and a dear friend. Find Wendy Cuskey on Instagram, Facebook and Etsy
