My daffodils are out and the days are light longer – spring is here! We had lots of family events this weekend including some baby snuggles. There’s lots going on this week so get ready!

Spring project inspiration from the Creative Team

This month the Creative Team designers are being inspired by SPRING! It’s time to create projects that celebrate the new season – from spring home decor to cards and albums. Any of Eileen’s past dies and products are fair game so let’s see what projects we have to share this week…

Maggi Harding created a scrapbook page layout highlighting a recent trip she made to Antarctica. She used the Floral Pocket & Paperclips and Alphanumeric Thinlits Die Sets plus the Plate & Pattern Layered Stencil Set. So cool! 😉

Tonya Trantham dressed up a pre-made notepad with Eileen’s dies and embossing folders. This is a great gift idea (Mother’s Day is coming!) Get a closer look in her post. Dies used: Floral Pocket & Paperclips, Bookmark, Pockets & Toppers, and the Floral Damask Embossing Folder.

Spring of course celebrates all things green and growing! Elizabeth Robinson made this lovely nature inspired junk journal using the Mini Album Die. Each page inside is a treat so head on over to her post to see it all.

Crafting Adventures & New Team Inspiration with Eileen Hull

6 Feb

Hi friends – Susie and I are just back from a fantastic trip to Florida where we taught at Crafting at the Nest. We loved meeting everyone and being inspired by their enthusiasm and excellent crafting skills. We even got to celebrate Cindy’s (the store owner) birthday – thanks for making us feel so welcome everyone! We also have new Creative Team inspiration for you with this month’s “Anything Goes” theme.

So getting back to creating… I received a box a while ago from AdTech, one of the premier glue gun manufacturers. There’s a new model out I have been dying to test and Tuesday was the day 🙂 I share some tips and tricks I have found while making wax seals.

I am so excited to be traveling out to California at the end of February to Frank Garcia Studio! It is beautiful store and I’ve got some really fun projects to share. It’s worth a trip just to see Frank’s store but while you’re at it come and take a class or two! I’ll be teaching three classes – you can register HERE!

Creative Team Inspiration…

For February, the project theme for the Creative Team is “Anything Goes”. The designers are going back to any of Eileen’s dies or products in their stashes and creating some wonderful projects to inspire you!

Our designers this week are finding inspiration from the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday. Sarah Lizzie created a beautiful card using the Teacup & Spoon 3D Die, Floral Damask Embossing Folder and Painterly Blooms & Background Die Set. Find all the details in Sarah Lizzie’s post.

Pam Bray crafted a fabulous love themed album using the Field Notes & Specimen Card Die. Pam gets bonus points using parts from a partially completed project to make it! Check it out on her blog for details!

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. I expect this will be a longer process than a month, but the end I will have a beautiful organized room to create in. Stay tuned for info on more giveaways coming soon!

Pressing On – Getting Organized in 2025

14 Jan

Hi friends, Eileen here. I don’t know about you but I am finally serious about getting my studio cleaned up and organized – it feels so good to finally start! Thanks to all who have been posting their BEFORE and AFTER pics of your creative spaces for our Tidy Up 2025 Challenge in the Fan Club! Even just picking out a tiny space to work on is so satisfying, you may find yourself tackling larger areas – who knows!

It is so comforting to know that I are not alone and that others are struggling with the same issues as me! As you may recall, I started ~~shoveling~~ cleaning out the studio in order to be ready for my video on January 26. It all started with my friend Cara Brandon‘s invitation to join her and Dana K. White’s Declutter & Get Organized collaboration. Click HERE to see the calendar and links to all of the other crafters that are part of this event – so many good tips and ideas! Love seeing how everyone approaches organizing in a different way – but the important thing is for you to make your space work for you.

If you have been watching my lives, I have done several posts showing how to create a Bespoke (custom) journal. I need to use mine! So we will be finishing it up today on the live…

I am using the Journal die – you can find it HERE in my Etsy shop if you don’t have it already. Of course, if you don’t have that one, use one you have! Here are the links to this week’s videos – just click on the graphic and it will take you right to the event. In case you missed them, here are links to: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 …

On Thursday, it’s time for our monthly Realeather Crafting episode. We will be creating Cord Wraps for all those electronic charger cords and I’ll be sharing how to use the Snap Setter Kit – a very handy tool to have! Get your leather out and let’s make some Valentine gifts for family and friends!

Projects from the Inspiration Team…

This month the project theme for the Inspiration Team is “Friendship”. All of Eileen’s products are fair game for the designers to use. Take a moment to sort through your Eileen Hull stash and see what inspires you! Don’t let it distract you from your organizing though. (wink wink)

First up is Maggi Harding with a beautiful Valentine’s card! She used various Thinlits Die Sets (Floral Pocket & Paperclips, Tiled Alphanumeric and others) plus the gorgeous Floral Damask Embossing Folder. See the details on her blog and in the video.

Pam Bray created another cheerful card that is perfect to send to a friend! She used the Damask Embossing Folder, Fan Favorite Stamps, Plate & Pattern Stencil Set and the Bookmark, Pockets & Toppers Die Set. Check it out on her blog!

We have a final card for the week created by Sarah Lizzie. It’s a beautiful friendship card for a milestone birthday. She used the Tiled Alphanumeric and Wreath & Snowflake Die Sets to highlight the special day.

Classes with Eileen!

On January 31 – February 26, Eileen will be traveling to Florida to teach two full days of classes at Crafting at the Nest! If you live anywhere nearby, I hope you can join us!

2025 Journal Projects with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

5 Dec

All throughout the month of November the Inspiration Team designers shared their 2025 Journal projects featuring a variety of Eileen Hull Dies and themes. Eileen’s versatile dies allow you to create such a wide variety of styles and project type! Check out the Round Up video below:

Here’s a closer look at the two journals shared last week. The first is from Lisa Hoel and the second was created by Jenny Marples. Both used the Mini Album Die as the journal base.

You’ll want Eileen’s Floral Damask Multi-Level Embossing Folder in your tool box too! Isn’t it gorgeous?

Adding to this week’s inspiration is a flash back project using Eileen’s Tiled Alphanumeric Thinlits Die. A pack of these quick and easy Thank You cards (from Maggi Harding) would make a great gift to give.

Eileen Hull’s October Sizzix Release Recap!

31 Oct

Did you catch the October Sizzix Release Party last week? There were so many projects to share and inspire you. The designers really outdid themselves! Check out the round up of their work below and keep an eye out for even more! You will not want to miss out on Eileen’s latest release from Sizzix.

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

This Eileen Hull Sizzix release was designed with journaling in mind! If you have never journaled before, this collection of seven products is a great place to start! In it, you will find everything that you need to get going. If you have been journaling for a while, you will want to add these items to your stash – the pieces are very versatile and will coordinate with many of the other dies you may already have.

The base die is the 5” x 5” x 1” Mini-Album, a Scoreboard die specially designed to cut and score thick material AND it cuts in one pass- so easy and quick! You can also use this die to cut the pages that go inside. There are three accessory Thinlits dies: Floral Pocket and Paperclips, Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers and Charms that cut pockets, bookmarks, embellishments, paper clips, charms and extras that may be used to decorate the pages of the book.

There is a stamp set called Fan Favorites with 61 words and phrases to use inside the book, on cards, and tags! Plate and Pattern is a four layer stencil- each layer may be used separately or all together. Create page backgrounds, use on your gel plate, outline and stitch the design on fabric or to trace shapes and fill in with watercolor. The Floral Damask multi-level 3D embossing folder creates a beautiful background useful for journal pages, cards and tags!

The new collection:
