Seasonal Colors Project Inspiration with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

This month the Creative Team is digging into their past projects to share favorite “Seasonal Colors” project inspiration! Whether celebrating fall colors or spooky Halloween creations, we’ll be sure to get a big dose of creativity…

First up is a cute Halloween gift tag made by Sarah Lizzie. She used Eileen’s Windowsill, Flowers & Vase and Tunnel Arches Die Sets plus some fun Halloween bits. See how she did it here.



Lisa Hoel has a Halloween tunnel album for us. She used the Handbound Journal Die for the cover and cut all the page windows with the Tunnel Arches Die Set. You can see all the photos of the pages here.


Pages are filled with more Eileen and Tim Holtz Sizzix die cuts! She collaged the page bases with postage stamps made using Eileen’s Snail Mail, Faux Postage, and Mini Slimline & Ticket Die Sets.


We have another seasonal tunnel album by Pam Bray. Love those earthy fall colors! She used the Lacy Leaves Embossing Folder to give texture to the page backgrounds. See more in her post.

Lisa Hoel finished her Space Journal – whew! She used the Handbound Journal Die for the cover and filled it full of out of this world bits and pieces. See more in her post.



News from Eileen…

This weekend we drove out to the beach to make sure our house had weathered the big storm that blew through the East Coast last weekend. Thankfully, it was fine, but the beach itself was washed away! We went to a few thrift stores and cleaned the house – a nice couple of days… I love that fall is coming. Also our big trip… we leave for Spain and Portugal on October 14th!


Last week we created a Beaded Heart Notebook using the Notebook die and Thinlits Stitched Hearts. If you missed it, you can watch here…


I love how it turned out! In Beaded Heart Notebook Part Two, we will be finishing the inside of the notebook with a cool no sew binding technique! I hope you will craft along with me – all you need is paper for the book pages, ruler, scoreboard, bone folder and glue! I’m sure you have an unfinished notebook cover somewhere – today is the perfect time to complete it!

Favorite Journals Wrap Up with Eileen Hull’s Creative Team

Our overall Creative Team theme for September was “My Favorite Journal”. We had a month full of inspiration! In addition, we had some collaborations with other companies. Our UK designers had their turn using exciting Grafix Arts speciality plastic films and sheets. USA designers tested out Bearly Art glue. 

Jenny Marples made a super cool “Grungy Vibe” Notebook Journal for her Grafix Arts project. Love the combination of Eileen’s dies and stencils plus the Dura-Lar Prints. Check out her slide show post on Instagram!

Stencil sets Plate & Pattern and Watercolour Flowers & Lattice have been put to good use!


Slow stitching plus the Library Pocket and tags from the Ephemera Pocket & Tags die sets.


Well life got in the way and Lisa Hoel hasn’t quite finished her journal project yet. Here’s a peek – it’s retro space themed, housed in a Handbound Journal Die cover. More next week!


Favorite Journal Flashbacks!

Jennie Atkinson is sharing her lovely Autumn Arches Mini Book made with the Tunnel Arches, Windowsill Vase & Flowers and other dies sets. Check out her tutorial video below…


Lisa Hoel has a tunnel book project from the debut of Eileen’s Home Sweet Home Collection. You can find all the details and photos in her post.


News from Eileen Hull…

Last week was a little stressful—I’m not gonna lie! 😅

I had a houseful of company, we completely forgot we were babysitting and ended up with Emma (2) and Thomas (2 months) for the weekend, my basement flooded, I got sick, and my van broke down with some major issues. 😳

Then it was time to head to New York for the Garlic Festival—with a nor’easter in the forecast! I’m happy to say that it all turned out fine. I did make the trip to NY, came home a day early, and am now looking forward to a nice, boring week ahead. My only regret is missing the chance to meet up with some of you who came to say hi. 😭 My sister says I’m welcome to join her in the booth next year, so I’m hoping to do that! I realized how much I miss the excitement of creating things for a show.

Join me on the LIVE today to hear all about how it went! The people I really have to applaud are the ones who came to the Garlic Festival despite the nor’easter blowing all around us. It was pretty wild! 🌧️ But even though the weather wasn’t great, we had some wonderful chats with each other and our customers—and I got extra time with Mom and our childhood friend, Laura Lawson. ❤️ Sometimes the crazy weeks end up giving us some pretty special memories!


The truck is unloaded and I am back in my cozy studio. We will be creating several versions of a Beaded Heart Notebook using the Notebook die and Thinlits Stitched Hearts. Although my original idea didn’t turn quite as how I had envisioned, it gave me another idea to try – you know how that goes… Hope you can join me at 4:00!

Journals & More with Eileen Hull’s Creative Team

Hello Eileen fans! Our overall Creative Team theme is “My Favorite Journal”. In addition, we are having some collaborations with other companies. Our UK designers are having their turn using exciting Grafix Arts speciality plastic films and sheets. USA designers are testing out Bearly Art glue. Let’s see what inspiration we have this week…

Jennie Atkinson created a mini junk journal using Eileen’s Notebook Die with Grafix Dura-Lar Prints sheets and graphics printed on their Rainbow Film. Check out her video below: 


Flashback!

Lisa Hoel has one of her favorite journal projects to share. She made this one to debut Eileens color wheel collection last year. The Handbound Journal Die was used for the base and it is full of other Eileen goodness . Details here.


Each color in the color wheel got its own set of pages.


News from Eileen…

I hope you had a great weekend! My husband was out of town, so I spent my time thrifting, shopping, crafting, and cleaning. 🙂 What can I say—it was amazing! Of course, I had big plans to make lots of items for the upcoming craft show. I did manage to make a few things, but there’s still plenty on the to-do list!

On Wednesday, I’m heading up to New York for a week with Mom while my sister and BIL enjoy some well-deserved time at the beach. I’m looking forward to some special time together!

A New Way to Make Window Envelopes

I love using recycled window envelopes to decorate and add fun ephemera to my junk journals. What I don’t love is having to measure around all those different-sized windows when I want to cover the envelope with pretty paper!

I was so excited when I discovered a quicker and easier way to make them using dies I already had on hand. This technique is SO cool—and so addictive! 🙂

I hope you’ll craft along with me and give it a try. Once the envelopes are made, we’ll take them one step further with napkin decoupage. I can’t wait to see how they turn out!


You can find everything you need to make them – dies, matboard, napkins and adhesive in my Etsy shop. I have found that the Journal, Skinny Mini Book Box and Full Size Journal dies all work well with this project along with Thinlits in geometric or label shapes, like the Library Pocket, Mini Slimline, Bookmark and Pockets, Tunnel Arches, Floral Pocket and Waterfall and Tags.

I hope you were able to catch Rebecca Meier on our last livestream – she shared her new rice paper release with Joggles and they are absolutely stunning! 

Fan Club ATC Swap!

ATC LAUNCH!!!

Signups for the ATC SWAP started on September 1. You have until September 10 to sign up so if you haven’t, do it now! Please read the guidelines below. Share your art with a fellow creator.

INTERNATIONAL MEMBERS – I’m told by many of you that the Google sign up sheet cannot be opened. I’m so sorry about that and not sure why. If you would like to sign up, please contact me by responding to this email or post in the comments in the Fan Club under the event announcement with your name and email address- I will add you to the list. Please tag me too – I don’t want to miss anyone! 

An artist trading card (ATC) is a tiny piece of original art. It measures strictly 2.5 by 3.5 inches, the exact same size as a standard baseball or trading card. Artists make these small cards to trade or give away for free, rather than to sell.

These are the guidelines:

  • Size: Must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches to fit standard card collector sheets and sleeves. Each card should have an Eileen Hull product as a focus.
  • Back Details: Please include on the back of the card: your name, date, event, number in series
  • Mediums: Creators use any material they like, including paint, collage, drawing, markers, fabric, and mixed media.
  • Shipping: this ATC can be sent in a standard envelope with regular postage. As long as it weighs less than an ounce, the cost to ship is the price of an .82 stamp. For reasons of economy and time, the swap will pair US with US and international with international.
  • Timeline: Registration opens September 1st and goes till September 10th. On September 12th, you will receive the name of your swap buddy. You will have until September 29th to mail out your swap.
  • In October, we will share our swaps in the Eileen Hull Fan Club – stay tuned for dates!

Sign up for the swap here!

Hi friends – I hope you are enjoying the extra sunlight now that Daylight Savings has kicked in! I am still dealing with medical stuff and the appointments are messing with my schedule! Thanks for your patience… 

Today I have an extra special announcement to share with you on the live! Because you are such a talented and diverse group, I have come up with a plan that will allow us to see what some of you are doing in more detail – are you intrigued? Join me at 4:00 TODAY to hear more. 


Next week, Margaret and I will be back together with a “One Die, Two Ways” episode so hope you will come and craft along with us on Tuesday!

I’m happy to say I finished several of the Napkin Decoupaged Tiny Books that I made on the LIVE last week while I was up in NY. I gave one to Jill, Mom’s caregiver, and she loved it 🙂 They are so cute and fun to make – if you missed it you can watch here. Find the Spring/Easter napkins HERE.

I received a huge box of fabric samples from one of my Etsy customers – how nice was that? Her name is Robyn Cubbage and she makes custom memory quilts from t-shirts, uniforms and men’s neckties. Robyn’s husband is a sales rep for Moda Fabrics and she sent me salesman samples to use in my projects – wait till you see them! If you place an Etsy order, I will include some fabric in your order!

You know how excited I am to be part of the BellaCon retreat next week? It’s not too late to register! 

Well, it has been expanded and another day has been added to this already packed event! It’s called Bella Jewelry Con. One of the hosts is none other than my friend Julianna of JEWELLOOM! I will be doing a segment on Journal Jewelry so hope you can join us for this event!

Mix & Match Inspiration with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

The August theme for the Team is “Mix & Match”. That means combining old and new product into exciting projects for your inspiration! Let’s see what the Creative Team designers have for us this week…

First up is Jennie Atkinson with this beautiful little journal. Jennie says, “This small journal is made from paper scraps and some of my older favourite dies. It can either standalone or, as I intended, it fits into the Handbound Journal as a flip out page.” New Dies used: Handbound Journal, Rainbow Wheel Die Set, Journal Hardware, Swatch Card Stamps


Maggi Harding created this summery Handbound Journal packed full of wonderful details. Can you spot all the Eileen dies she used in the flip through? See more details and photos here.


What is Eileen Hull up to?…

Hi all – it has been a crazy couple of weeks and this upcoming one is no exception! 

On Tuesday, I shared a really cool product from Grafix Arts that I saw at Creativation. It’s a product called Dura-Lar that has a lot of interesting properties – I explored them on the live. And to make it even better, the Designer Dura-Lar Prints that I used were designed by some of my creative friends, Kassandra Louise Designs, Cat Kerr and Terri Conrad! I hope check out the replay – the sheets would work great in journals or on cards!


SNEAK PEEK TIME!

On Thursday I will finally be sharing a SNEAK PEEK of my new Sizzix dies coming out in just a few weeks on September 1! It’s a really cool one that I can’t wait to share – I hope you like it as much as I do. The bundle will be available for pre-order in my Etsy shop so stay tuned for more info on Thursday!


The UK Roadshow starts in just a few weeks! I’ll be teaching at four stores along the way: Loobi Crafts, Country View Crafts, Amelia’s and The Mad Scrapper. The store owners have graciously agreed to come on the show with me again to answer any last minute questions and updates. I just sent them a few more items that I would ask students to bring so if you are coming to class, make sure to get the updated supply list 🙂 


If you’d like to meet the store owners, click HERE – they are a delight!

In case you haven’t seen it yet, there’s a new product in town! It’s called the Tiny Tray – great for storing tiny bits and bobs. You can find it in Eileen Hull Etsy Shop.

New Product from Eileen & More Embossing Inspiration

For July the Creative Team is dusting off their EMBOSSING FOLDERS and using them alongside other dies and stamps all designed and created by Eileen. This week we have more embossing inspiration to share!

Maggi Harding has been working on a colorful art journal and she’s including embossed pages for this week’s share. Check out the details here and in the video below.


Pam Bray made a festive 4th of July banner – cutting the bases using the Handbound Journal Die and embossing them with the Lace folder. (Clever!) What a fun decor piece! More details here.


Jennie Atkinson has created a beautiful shabby chic inspirational journal filled with embossed details (and cover of course!) You can see more details in the video below.


Loaded with embossing inspiration…


News from Eileen Hull…

We are back from the beach! I always forget how long it takes to unpack the car and get everything unloaded and put away – as usual I brought along way too many bags of craft supplies 🙂 It was worth it though, I had some good crafting sessions with the little ones.


I closed the Etsy shop for a week so Debbie and I could take a breather but re-opened it Sunday. If you need anything, you can find it here: Eileen Hull Etsy Shop. There is AN EXCITING NEW PRODUCT getting listed today right before I go live so make sure you order – supplies for the first batch are limited. I hope you can watch the live and see what it is 🙂 

I will also be sharing how to create journal accessories using clothespins, opening some boxes and showing my latest thrift store finds. 🙂 I love using household items in my crafts. Watch HERE!


and the new products is…

the Eileen Hull Tiny Tray! It’s about 4″ square and perfect for corralling tiny beads, brads, needles and any other small bits and bobs that would get lost in the creative desk shuffle. More details in Eileen’s live, link above.


On Thursday I am finally making a Handbound Journal using a couple of my thrifted Golden Books as covers and pages and a fun new binding method! I have been thinking about doing this forever and can’t wait to start 🙂
