April’s “Let’s Get Sewing” project inspiration!

23 Apr

The Creative Team might be exploring textiles, paper, mixed media, slow stitching, machine stitching, faux stitching… there are so many ways to create within this theme using Eileen’s dies. Let’s see what inspiration the Team has for us this week:

Lisa Hoel sewed these cute pillows for Eileen to use as decor in Daisy the trailer. The woven heart and tongues on the larger pillow were made using her Tunnel Arches Die Set. More details here!


Jenny Marples created these beautiful color wheel journal pages using the Swatch Card Stamp Set, Windowsill Vase & Flowers Die Set and Home Sweet Home Die Set. Catch her reel on Instagram to see more!


Elizabeth Robinson added this sweet little stitched felt element to the cover of a journal. Loving all those little details! You can take a closer look here. (Home Sweet Home Die Set, Tunnel Arches Die Set)


News from Eileen Hull:

Hi friends – I wanted to let you know about some things that have been going on in my life behind the scenes and I’m going to lay it all out there in this video, so I hope you can join me. 

And after we do that, let’s get back to making! For some reason the Floral Bookmark & Pocket set was laying on my table and I had a new idea for a new way to use it! You can find it here in case you don’t have it.


If you missed the Craft Along last week, it turned out to be a fun one! You can watch by clicking the graphic below!


Daisy the Trailer update!

My husband is working every spare minute to get this trailer up and ready for the road. Last week the paneling went up and now he is working on building the benches! It’s so exciting to watch Daisy take shape! I have so many decorating ideas but not enough time to do them all.

More Miniature Inspiration & Special News from Eileen Hull

18 Mar

The theme for this month is “March in Miniature” – what fun! Our designers are interpreting it in various ways and thinking outside (or inside) of the box. We have plenty more miniature inspiration for you this week!

Jenny Marples created these fabulous little houses using Eileen’s Shadowbox Elements Die Set. So cute! Check out her Part 1 tutorial on Instagram. Part 2 next week!


Tonya Trantham made an altered spool that showcases a wee little rabbit from the Home Sweet Home Die Set. Adorable! Check out her tutorial for all the details.


Elizabeth Robinson created a miniature shelf using the bookplate die cuts from the Handbound Journal Die. What?! That is so brilliant! She stocked the shelves with mini dishes and sweets. She is sharing a tutorial in the Fan Club so join us there if you’re not already a member.


News from Eileen…

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! 


Jewels developed the Eileen Hull loom that can used to create book bindings, bracelets, bookmarks and weavings. For more info, watch the intro video here…

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 is back and More Sizzix Fall inspiration…

16 Oct

We have more fall inspiration from the Creative Team and Eileen is back from her trip and ready to get back to craftiness! Here’s what she has to report:

Hi all – I am back from an amazing anniversary cruise to Greece and Italy! We went with good friends and it was so nice to travel together and share some unique adventures including a volcanic eruption, an Italian wedding and a torturous hike up a cliff with 150 donkeys.

In Salerno, we found a cool leather store called Bosso – this is a pic of me and Alberto, the owner. We had a nice chat and I bought a purse for me and wallet for Hayward.


I have a little cold but the laundry is done and I am ready to get back in my studio and create! 

Join me for a quick trip recap, a look at some of the souvenirs I brought back and a fun idea for creating a Lacy Leaves Banner using the new Lacy Leaves A-5 embossing folder and Tunnel Arches.


On Thursday, I want to re-create my Santorini memories – such a beautiful place. The houses were white and everything else seemed to be blue – the sky, ocean, Greek flag, pottery, art and even clothing – so fresh and crisp! I decided to make a shadowbox using my Shadowbox #2, Shadowbox Elements and Tunnel Arches dies. I’m going to make one for each of the couples we traveled with and give for Christmas. 


Fall Inspiration – Projects from the Creative Team!

This month her Creative Team is using Eileen’s new Home Sweet Home Collection from Sizzix to make projects with a Fall/Halloween themed twist!

Maggi Harding created this cool Halloween tag decoration. She used the Tunnel Arches and Windowsill Vase & Flowers die sets plus the Lacy Leaves embossing folder. Check out more details in her post!


Jennie Atkinson made this beautiful autumn mini album using the Tunnel Arches set for the base and also the Windowsill Vase & Flowers set. I spy some Lacy Leaves peeking through the cover too! Watch the video below for a look at the lovely insides and a tutorial.


On the road again…

Attention California Friends!

I am headed out on October 25-26 to teach at the gorgeous Frank Garcia Studio in Upland, CA (located about an hour west of LA). I’ll be teaching two classes. I would love to see you and Frank’s store is definitely worth a trip – I think it is the most beautiful store I have ever been in. (REGISTER HERE)


Eileen’s Etsy Shop is open…

Each of the products from the new release have been listed individually. Find them here: Lacy Leaves, Tunnel Arches, Home Sweet Home and Windowsill Vase and Flowers!
