The Colors of Fall – Creative Projects with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

16 Oct

Let’s celebrate the colors of fall! This month the Creative Team is digging into their past projects to share favorite “Seasonal Colors” creations! Projects featuring fall colors or spooky Halloween creations are here to inspire you…

Jenny Marples is sharing this absolutely fabulous Slotted Treat Box project she made. All those zig zag stitches she did by hand! See more details here.


Mixed Media joy – Jennie Atkinson used the Mini Album Die, Plate & Pattern Stencil Set plus several thinlits die sets to create this gorgeous little book. See her tutorial video below:


Lisa Hoel used the Field Notes & Specimen Card Die to put together this photo book of fall photos taken around her home. You can see more photos and how-to here.


What a lovely banner by Pam Bray! She used patterned paper and the Tunnel Arches, Windowsill Vase & Flowers, and Home Sweet Home die sets to create it. So clever.


Tonya Trantham used the Geometric Box Die to create a funky pumpkin for a perfect fall decoration! So cool. Find out how in her tutorial here.


News from Eileen!

Big Trip, Little Suitcase… LOTS of Craft Supplies! ✈️🎨

There’s nothing like a deadline to get things done—am I right? 😂 I leave tomorrow for a BIG trip, and suddenly my to-do list is getting checked off at record speed! Funny how that works…

And speaking of things to look forward to, look at all the fun we have coming up in November!

✨ Here’s what’s on the horizon:

  • November 10: An exciting new Eileen Hull product launch!
  • A FREE Virtual Holiday Retreat: Time to get creative together from wherever you are.
  • Our Seventh Annual Comfort & Joy Event: Can you believe it’s almost that time again?

More details are coming soon, so stay tuned!

Packing Light… or at Least Trying To! 🧳

On our last big trip, our luggage was lost for an entire WEEK, and I wore the same clothes every day. Honestly, I don’t think people really noticed! 😂 So this time, I decided to be strategic and pack fewer clothes.

Well, the space I saved by packing less clothing has been more than made up for by my craft supplies! Watercolors, stitching projects, a travel journal, and jewelry-making supplies have all made the cut so far. And who knows what inspiration might strike before I zip up that suitcase? There’s still time for a few more things to sneak in!

I’ll try to go live while I’m traveling whenever I can, so please make sure you’ve enabled notifications on my channels. That way, you’ll get an alert when I pop on!

I’m SO excited to explore Spain and Portugal for the first time. New places, new inspiration, and hopefully lots of beautiful things to see (and maybe a little shopping, too!).

Please keep your fingers crossed—and say a little prayer—for smooth travels and NO unexpected travel surprises this time! 🙏✈️

Live Video Crafting with Eileen – One Die, Two Ways

Today: Let’s Get Creative with Margaret! 🎨

Today it’s time for another live with Margaret!

👉 Watch the livestream here!

We’ll each be working with an Eileen Hull stencil of our choosing and a WILD CARD product! Sometimes it’s fun to go off script, pull out random supplies, or experiment with something you haven’t used in a while.

I find that the less pressure I put on myself, the better. Creating art is a chance to let your mind and hands wander, explore, and see where they take you—without worrying too much about how the finished project will look.

Of course, I DO want my projects to look nice! 😉 And sometimes it takes a few tries (or a few happy accidents) to get there. That’s all part of the fun!

I hope you’ll join Margaret and me to see what we come up with. Gather your favorite stencil and a wild-card supply of your own, and create along with us!

When you’re finished, share your projects in the Eileen Hull Fan Club. We love seeing what you make!

Happy creating, and I’ll see you soon—hopefully from somewhere across the pond! ❤️

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.

Eileen Hull Dies Box Bonanza Inspiration

14 Sep

Over the years Eileen Hull has designed many container dies and this month’s theme is Box Bonanza inspiration. The designers are seeing how many different ways they can use her various box dies! You will definitely get some new ideas for your own projects! Let’s see what is in store for us this week…

Jennie Atkinson used the Post Box Die as a holder for a small junk journal. Made in classic Jennie shabby chic style, instructions for making this delightful duo can be found on Jennie’s blog.
