Eileen Hull

Three dimensional art... with heart

Welcome to April & UFO Sightings with Eileen Hull

Welcome to April and (no fooling!) there will be lots of UFO sightings this month! Our theme for the Creative Team is either finishing up projects that have been sitting for a time, or revisiting a project and putting a new spin on it with different dies. This should be fun! (We’d love to see you share your UFO projects in the Fan Club too.)

What’s the word from Eileen?

My husband and I just got in from spending some quality time with the four CT grandkids. We watched movies, went to a trampoline park, visited the Mystic Aquarium, did some watercoloring together and went out to eat. Such a great visit! After arriving home, we finished the dreaded taxes…

Today I am clearing my desk before the last minute creative binge before leaving for the tradeshow early Thursday morning. Come create with me and you might get a sneak peek of the new May Sizzix release!


Creativation is a tradeshow for the creative industries that I attend every year – this time it’s in Seattle. I’ll be traveling on Thursday so there will be no scheduled livestream. However, I hope to be jumping on at random times so you can see what’s new and what the show looks like. Make sure you have enabled notifications so you’ll get a notice when I am going live. Friday and Saturday are for education, then the show floor opens on Sunday through Tuesday for buyers. 

I will be demoing in the Sizzix booth two hours a day during the show and there *might* be a sneak peek of the new May release so hope you can watch 🙂

If you missed the Loom video on Thursday, catch up here:


Inspiration from the Creative Team…

Sarah Lizzie is sharing a past project featuring Eileen’s Sunflower Die. You can never go wrong having a stash of tags on hand! These pretty floral tags would be great to add to packages or just to brighten someone’s day. You can see more details in her post.


Here’s another project from the past to inspire you to pull out your Snail Mail, Faux Postage or Slimline & Tickets Die Sets and play with making “postage stamps” to incorporate into projects. Jenny Marples created this lovely journal example and you can see more here.

“Colors of Spring” with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

Welcome to April and our new theme for the month! It’s time to turn our minds to warmer weather and growing things so our focus will be on the Colors of Spring. The designers are celebrating the new season drawing from all of Eileen’s past Sizzix dies and products. You’re in for a visual treat! Let’s see what inspiration we have for this week…

Pam Bray created a delightful Spring banner using the Mini Book Die for the banner panels (so clever Pam!), various die cuts (hello Faux Postage), the A5 3-D Lace Embossing Folder and lots of cute patterned paper elements. Find all the details in Pam’s blog post!

Designer Sarah Lizzie really embraced the colors of spring with this bright and cheerful felt flower spring wreath. She used the Embroidery Hoop Die to make the base and turned another one of Eileen’s past flower dies into a rolled type flower cut. Very clever! Visit Sarah Lizzie’s blog to find the tutorial.

Eileen Hull March Sizzix Die Release Wrap Up!

It’s time for the March die release wrap up! Did you catch Eileen’s March 1st live for a look at her newest die collection? It was packed full of inspiring projects! For the month of March, we’ve been taking a closer look at the project tutorials from the Release Party.

Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:

I’m so happy to introduce this brand new collection of mine from Sizzix! As always, I try to create designs that may be used together but also stand alone. There are four pieces in this set.

The Storage Box is an XL ScoreBoard die measuring 4” square, the largest square box yet! This box is constructed with a removable top and may be used in many ways, such as organizing desk and office supplies, as a gift box, storing craft supplies and packaging for baked treats.

The Mini Book is one of my favorites because you can create a book using this die in an evening, and use up your scraps in the process. This book measures 3 3/4” x 2 1/4” and comes with a strap/handle and tiny label for the book cover. It also makes a great bag topper if you fold it in the middle and also will hold a business card. Die cut it from felt and stitch up a tiny wallet!

There is a new Thinlits called Faux Postage – the full panel is designed to fit on a 5” x 7” card and creates a fun postage stamp effect. You can also cut (or tear) each stamp apart and use the individual pieces as a miniature work of art! These dies coordinate with similar dies: Snail Mail (A-2 card size) and Mini Slimline (6” x 3”).

The Lace 3D Embossing Folder is so amazing! It’s a new LARGE size measuring 8 1/2” x 5 3/4”. It works great on bigger journal covers, card backgrounds and on home decor pieces. This is created from vintage lace that I have collected and there are so many ways I want to use this!


Onward to the project inspiration!

Lisa Hoel created a Storage Box that perfectly fits four Mini Books – each one with a seasonal theme! Book covers were embossed with the A5 size 3-D Lace Embossing Folder (so much detail!!) Find many more photos and some how-to in her blog post.

Designer Pam Bray created a darling little junk journal using the Mini Book Die. It’s a great way to utilize all the fun bits from a patterned paper collection! Take a closer look at all the details and inside pages on Pam’s blog.

Let’s get practical…

Elizabeth Robinson has a project to share that is functional and beautiful!
