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. 

Come back next week for more Mix & Match inspiration!

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 🙂

Welcome to July Eileen Hull fans! Get ready to Emboss It! (Eileen is off to the beach with her whole family. Keep an eye on her socials for impromptu live videos!) A new month means a new theme for the Creative Team. We will be dusting off our EMBOSSING FOLDERS and using them alongside other dies and stamps all designed and created by Eileen. So stay tuned for some creative ways of using embossed paper, card and who knows what else!

Detail from a few past projects from Jenny Marples, Jennie Atkinson and Madeline Arendt.

A big thanks to the team for always inspiring us with their fantastic ideas – we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the month! We’d also love to see what you are making so don’t forget to post it in the Eileen Hull Fan Club 🙂

Sarah Lizzie Is kicking us off with this beautiful card. She embossed the background using Eileen’s Tablecloth Embossing Folder and then embellished it with die cuts from sets both old and new. More details here.


Lisa Hoel is back with Part 2 of this stitchy project. What do you get when you cross a “snippet roll” with a journal? Something like this! The Handbound Journal cover houses an accordion fold snippet roll. You can see more details here.

More latest release fun & Eileen Hull happenings…

Hi everyone! 

Thanks so much to the late night souls who joined me on the Craft Showdown Friday night. It was lots of fun although my projects were not top notch – completing a project in 10 minutes is harder than it sounds! Today I will be a guest on the Craft Showdown Lowdown at 8PM. If you have any questions you ever wanted to ask me, come on over and ask away 🙂 Make sure to follow and subscribe to Craft Showdown! 

Next week we are headed to the beach for our annual family vacation. I am starting to pack up some craft supplies to bring along as it’s kind of a tradition now – there’s a table set up with supplies and anyone who’s interested can sit down and create. One of my favorite places!

Today I am excited to share a project that started out as a watercolor warmup and took a strange but cool detour. Join me and I’ll share how fun and easy these are to create. I’m using my Swatch Card and Fan Favorites stamp sets and a watercolor palette. Hope you can join me in creating these! If you don’t have the stamps you can find them in my Etsy store.


On Thursday, Margaret and I will be creating with the Journaling Card, Envelope and Windows die. If you have it, take it out and play along with us! If you don’t have it, you can find it HERE. Click on the graphic to take you to the video!


This weekend I went through all the big sheets of beautiful handmade papers I found at Marco’s Paper and cut them down into packages. The paper packs are about 9″ x 12″ (some larger)-  the patterns and textures are so beautiful! I have lots of ideas for ways to use this product so look for some some livestream projects coming soon! I created this book using one of the papers on the last live – watch HERE. 


A big thanks to the team for always inspiring us with their fantastic ideas – I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this week! Also, we’d also love to see what you are making so don’t forget to post it in the Eileen Hull Fan Club 🙂

Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies – Inspiration from the Creative Team!

There were so many individual items in the May Release that we are having another month of sharing more wonderful inspiration and projects from the Creative Team! Check out what we have to share this week…

Pam Bray cleverly used the Rainbow Wheel Die Set to create lemons for her first card. She used the same die set to make a celebratory mixed media card as well. Check out both here.


Teresita Arvelo made a fab garden journal using the Handbound Journal Die as a base and filling it with all sorts of garden goodness. Check it out here and be sure to follow her on Instagram.


Designer Elizabeth Robinson crafted this gorgeous journal with metallic accents and Japanese paper. She filled the inside with black pages and used them to swatch metallic watercolors. Lovely! Check out the details here.


Keeping up with Eileen Hull…

Hi all – hope you had a great weekend! The weather here is rainy and a little cool. We had a nice quiet weekend and spent Father’s Day with our youngest daughter and family.  

I have been trying to tidy up and found some handmade paper I had bought a while ago at Marco’s Paper. It’s so pretty that I decided to use it in today’s video – I will be posting some handmade paper kits in my Etsy shop if you’d like to give it a try. The weight of this paper is really nice for this cool technique of book-binding. I’ll also have some tips on other supplies needed to create this pretty watercolor journal.


For our Realeather class this week, we are making this embossed and stamped Recipe Journal. These techniques are great to know as you can personalize your projects by stamping a name or date on the finished project to create bespoke items.


On Friday night, I’ll be live again for Craft Showdown with my friends Cara Brandon and Sheri Kord – please follow them! We will be going live on Friday, June 20 at 9:00 ET on a show called Craft Showdown. It is shaping up to be an amazingly creative and hilarious night, make sure to subscribe!

Hi all, I’m finally back in a somewhat normal routine after our trip.This weekend we went out to our house in Delaware to get it ready for the summer renters. Luckily I was able to squeeze in some thrifting in between cleaning and painting 🙂 Is this something you would like to see in a craft live? Or do you think it would be better to see in a separate video? 

This week I am doing TWO 10 ways videos. On Tuesday, we’ll be looking at lots of ways to decorate kraft journal pages- click the graphic to watch: 


On Wednesday night at 10:00 Eastern, I am a guest on the Cool To Craft Pajama Party and I will be sharing a fun way to organize washi tape! 


There are so many ways to use tags in your journal – create with me on Thursday! I’ll be using my Waterfall & Tags Sizzix die to make them.


On Friday, I’ll be live again; 4 days in a row! I’ll be talking with my friends Cara Brandon and Sheri Kord about an event I’ll be part of on Friday, June 20 at 9:00 ET called Craft Showdown! Stay tuned for a link to the live and make sure to subscribe!

More Project Inspiration from the Creative Team…

As there were so many individual items in the May Release we will have another month sharing more wonderful inspiration and projects each week from the Creative Team.

Maggi Harding created these bold mixed media cards using Eileen’s new Color Wheel Stencil Set plus the Plate & Pattern Set. So cool and fun to make! Check out Maggi’s post and the video short below.


Tonya Trantham also created a bright and cheerful card full of her layering magic. The Handbound Journal Die works great for cutting a card base with that fab scalloped edge.
