News from Eileen Hull!

Hi friends! I appreciate your patience as I navigate some health issues; I never realized how much I took my vision for granted and am hoping next week’s eye surgery will fix me up! I got some really cool news today and hope to share it with you next week!

Please note that I am changing the time of today’s video to 4:00 Eastern to accommodate our international friends so it’s earlier for them to join live. What do you all think about doing this moving forward? Let me know!

I’m so happy to have my friend Ann Butler joining me today. She is the owner of Bella Crafts Publishing and we will be sharing more info about BellaCon 2026! It’s a LIVE virtual crafting event bringing creative instructors together for four full days of inspiration and hands-on learning.

BellaCon 2026 features 24+ LIVE workshops, creative tips and techniques, giveaways, and interactive sessions you can enjoy from the comfort of home. Every registered attendee receives access to all of the workshops, not just a single class.

One of the highlights of the event is the LIVE Pajama Party, where many of the instructors will be together in one location, coming to you live with mini workshops, prizes, surprises, and a chance to win giveaways from our generous sponsors.

If you love crafting, learning new ideas, and connecting with creative people, I would love for you to join me.

Here’s my affiliate registration link with all the event details. If you use this link, I will receive a commission (at no cost to you!) which helps cover my travel expenses to the event. Thanks so much.

Last week’s Live:

Did you catch my video last week? I have to admit I LOVE this project made with the Notebook die! Some of the great suggestions for ways to use it came from the live viewers: first aid kit, sewing box for the car, card game box, ephemera pieces, small notecards, gift tags, small scenes, flash cards, treat box for small chocolate bars, photos, ATC’s to name a few! Thanks everyone for the great ideas! If you missed it you can watch here. Here’s how the finished card box came out – everything you need for a card game in this cute little box!

Grafix Arts & Eileen Hull Project Inspiration

For February, Eileen Hull’s Creative Team is doing an exciting collaboration with the company Grafix Arts! We’ve been using an assortment of their speciality plastic films and sheets in our Journal projects and the inspiration has been fabulous. Grafix products are widely available in the USA, UK and Europe so we hope you will get some ideas as to how these products can be used.


Sue Eldred used the Journal Die to make a journal inspired by her granddaughter’s fashion sense. She makes a bold statement with her combo of Grafix and Eileen Hull products. More details here.

So cute!


Jenny Marples shows us how to use Grafix Dura-Lar to create pockets and other embellishments for your projects. I agree with her that this a perfect option when you don’t want to completely cover your collage background. Find her video here on Instagram.


Tonya Trantham is here for Part 1 of her Grafix project. She used the Grungy Vibe by Cat Karr pack of Dura-Lar Prints for her bright and creative journal. You can find all the details for creating the cover in her post. Can’t wait for Part 2!


News from Eileen…

Hi everyone! I’m back from vacation and babysitting the little ones for a few days. Laundry is done and I am ready for a craft session! I did some watercoloring on the trip – am I weird? Do you pack up craft supplies to bring on vacation like me? I always bring too many but I need options! 🙂

We had such an amazing time in Puerto Rico – Teresita and Joe took us all around the island and we got to stay in their gorgeous apartment right downtown. Teresita of Scrapbook Y Mas has some very talented friends because every project came out fantastic! We loved our visit to Puerto Rico and the islands we visited on the cruise.

Join me to make a really cool card box using the Notebook die! If you don’t have that die, you can use the techniques learned with other dies you may have. This easy die cutting project is perfect for gifting, organizing card decks, or adding a creative handmade touch to game night. If you love paper crafting, mixed media, and thinking outside the box with your Sizzix dies, this project is for you.

Creative Collaboration with Grafix & Eileen Hull Products

Eileen is not quite back from her Caribbean vacation but we have plenty to share with you this week!

For February, we are doing a creative collaboration with the company Grafix Arts and the Creative Team has been using an assortment of their speciality plastic films and sheets in our Journal projects for this month. Grafix products are widely available in the USA, UK and Europe so we hope you will gain some inspiration as to how these products can be used.

Jennie Atkinson used the Journal Die to create an ephemera keeper full of pockets and pouches to hold all the little ephemera bits. She found that the Grafix Dura-Lar was sturdy and she could easily sew it to form the pockets. Check out her video tutorial. She’ll share a tutorial for the cover later in the month!


Maggi Harding created this fun and colorful journal packed full of preprinted Grafix Dura-Lar overlays that perfectly highlight the patterned paper details. See Maggi’s video below for a closer look!

Bon Voyage Eileen & Exciting February Collab with Grafix Arts!

For February, the Eileen Hull Creative Team is doing an exciting collaboration with the company Grafix Arts! The Team will be using an assortment of their speciality plastic films and sheets in their Journal projects to create some mixed media masterpieces. Grafix products are widely available in the USA, UK and Europe so we hope you will gain some inspiration as to how these products can be used in your own makes.


First up is Sarah Lizzie with her bold and colorful mixed media floral journal. Visit her post to see all the tricks and techniques she used to make it! (Hint: acrylic paint pens and Grafix Arts plastic are a match made in heaven.)


Pam Bray cut her Journal cover in half to make a “short” version for her Grafix Arts project. So clever! She also made matching signatures to put inside so take a look here for all the details.


Don’t be shy about “hacking” your die cuts to put a different different spin on them!

More Grafix Arts inspiration coming your way next week!

Welcome August, It’s Time To Mix & Match with Eileen Hull!

Here we are at the start of a new month and the theme for the Team is “Mix & Match”. That means combining old and new product into exciting projects for your inspiration!

First up is Sarah Lizzie with this beautiful artist themed phone stand. She used Eileen’s Gift Box Die With Scalloped Edges Die for the base and decorated it with the new Rainbow Wheel Die Set. Love it! Find more details and the how to here!



Pam Bray created a cool journal using all sorts of dies from Eileen’s product line. I really like how she has a flap acting as the closure mechanism. Some of the main dies she used are the Journal Die, Notebook Die and Rainbow Wheel Die Set. See more details here.


We have an extra project from Sue Eldred! She embossed a mat for this photo to create an elegant home decor piece. Wow! Check out the tutorial in her post.

Designer Tonya Trantham made a pretty slimline fall themed card. The base is cut using the Journal Die and she decorated it with flowers cut using the Floral Silhouettes Die Set found only at Scrapbook.com. This style of card is a great way to use up scraps of patterned paper! Find all the details in Tonya’s blog post.
