Three dimensional art... with heart

Introducing the 2025 Eileen Hull Creative Team!

Hi friends, Eileen here. So much is going on here but the big news is that I’m happy to announce the 2025 Eileen Hull Creative Team!


What a collection of talent we have here – I’m so happy that many returning members are back with us! Some team members have been part of the Educators group and have moved over so now everyone is on one team! I’m so excited to work with these special talented creators for 2025 – lots of surprises are coming your way 🙂

Please make sure to follow each team member and give them some love by subscribing to their channels and drop them a comment so they know their work is appreciated. Thanks again to every team member- each one brings their own spin and I love seeing them all! Here’s a list of the team and where you can find them:

Madeline Arendt
Teresita Arvelo
Jennie Atkinson
Susie Bentz
Pam Bray
Sharon Curtis
Sarah Elizabeth Dodd
Sue Eldred
Maggi Harding
Lisa Hoel
Jenny Marples
Amy Powers
Elizabeth Robinson
Margaret Sidenstick
Tonya Trantham

On Tuesday’s live, I finished up what we started last week – we used the Gift Box Die to create an organizer for my newly cleaned off desk! Watch the first part where we constructed the container HERE. See how simple it is to construct these boxes and keep ephemera at your fingertips. Or use them for a desk organizer in your office – they fit anywhere!


On Thursday, Margaret Sidenstick joined me for a new monthly feature where we take a die and find an alternate way to use it. Margaret made a half size Journal and I made a Paper Sorter using the Journal die. Watch HERE!

Still getting organized in 2025!

I am still at it, going through boxes and supplies, working on the #TIDYUP2025 Challenge we have going on in the Eileen Hull Fan Club Facebook group. If you want to be part of it, just take before and after pics of your space and share with us all. It keeps me going and I get great tips on ways to store things. More giveaways coming soon!


Inspiration from the 2025 Eileen Hull Creative Team…

This month the project theme for the Creative Team is “Friendship”. The designers are going back to any of Eileen’s dies or products in their stashes and creating some wonderful projects to inspire you! We have the last projects to share here plus the Round Up video for the month!

Sue Eldred created a Family Game Night box using the Skinny Mini Book Box Die. It’s the perfect size for holding some dice and a deck of cards! Cute and clever! Find all the details in Sue’s post.


Designer Lisa Hoel made a whimsical card to send to a friend. She used the Snowman Box Die, Sweater 3D Embossing Folder and Fan Favorites Stamp Set in its creation. Check it out on her blog for details!


Elizabeth Robinson also created a card. Those colors are so pretty! Products used are the Fan Favorites Stamp Set, Bookmark, Pockets & Toppers Die Set, Floral Pocket & Paperclips Die Set and Watercolor Flowers & Lattice Stencil Set. More details in her post.

Creative Recipe – Words, Tags & Pockets with Eileen Hull

The creative recipe for March has been a fun mix of words, tags and pockets! Designers have been whipping up a delectable spread of projects for your inspiration and the fun isn’t stopping yet. Let’s see what we have for this week…

Lisa Hoel decided to make tags as the background for a card. She die cut one using the Tile Alphanumeric Die and embossed others with some of Eileen’s 3-D Embossing Folders. So much texture! Find the details on her blog post.

Looking Back at Favorite Projects of 2021

This month the Team designers are looking back at favorite projects from 2021 and sharing their picks with us! Eileen Hull’s versatile products really let our creativity shine! Let’s see what inspiration is in store for us today…

Tonya Trantham picked her top three favorites and I know you will agree! One was this beautiful shabby chic pickup made using the Vintage Truck Die. I love how she used patterned paper and flowers to decorate it! See the details and Tonya’s other projects in her blog post.

Tonya also has a bonus tutorial for us – a delightful card made using Eileen’s 3-D Sweater Embossing Folder and the Mitten Die. It’s quick to make but looks like you spent a lot of time on it. Check out Tonya’s tutorial here.

Continuing the “How do I choose only three projects?” trend, Elizabeth Robinson pulled it off and presents us with three absolutely lovely makes. Two are journals and one is special Vintage Truck & Camper trailer combo. Don’t miss her write up and the inspiration in her blog post!

We are continuing our look at holiday time projects made with ever versatile Eileen Hull Sizzix dies and products! Let’s see what the designers have for us this week:

Sarah Lizzie used Eileen’s Display Stand Die combined with the Post Box Die to create this darling “Letters for Santa” decoration. What would you ask Santa for for Christmas? (more Eileen dies LOL). Check out Sarah Lizzie’s blog post for the tutorial!

Are you gearing up for seasonal crafting? It’s important to carve out creative time even in the midst of all the busyness. Making for the holidays can be fun and practical (think gift giving), especially using Eileen Hull’s dies! Let’s take a look at what the Inspiration Team has to share with us this week …

Designer Jenny Marples created a fantastic Vintage Truck with matching Notepad in a rustic Christmas design. This set would make a great gift idea. Also note the cover of the notepad which has been embossed with Eileen’s 3-D Sweater Embossing Folder (I kind of have a love affair with that embossing folder!)
