27 Feb

February sure has flown by and it’s time for the project round up! This month the theme has been “Anything Goes” which has allowed the Creative Team designers to delve deep into their stashes and use any of Eileen Hull’s fab dies and products to create a wide variety of exciting projects! Keep scrolling to check out the final projects for this week and the round up video.

News from Eileen…

I’m excited to welcome team member Margaret Sidenstick on Tuesday’s live – we are both going to create with the Snail Mail die and I can’t wait to see what she has in mind.

On Thursday, I’ll be working in my Mini-Album and sharing some of my favorite supplies to keep on hand and what to do when you have just a few minutes to create! I hope you can join me and share some of your ideas with us in the chat.

Here’s what I made with one of Realeather‘s kits last Thursday – it’s a classic design and would make a great gift for anyone who has a credit card! So easy, watch HERE if you missed it…

Project Round Up & Creative Team projects…

Lisa Hoel is still working on the #tidyup2025 Challenge. She used Eileen’s Slotted Treat Box, Storage Box and Treasure Box Dies to create these organizer containers. They are filled with ribbon and buttons. See more photos here!

Designer Sue Eldred created this sweet little card using the versatile Floral Pocket & Paperclips Thinlits Die Set. You can do a lot with this set and Sue has more card examples to share on her blog so check it out.

Elizabeth Robinson created a lovely nature themed journal using Eileen’s Notebook Die. Gorgeous! The papers used are Katie Pertiet’s new Hidden Creek collection with Arden (a UK brand). Don’t miss all the additional photos in her post!

Eileen Hull Project Inspiration from the Creative Team

20 Feb

Hi friends! I had so much fun creating Valentines this year but I am happy to move on to spring crafting – how about you? We also have more project inspiration from the Creative Team to share.

In the process of #tidyup2025, I found I have quite a collection of beads 😳. So I thought I would create some “Journal Jewelry” with them. All you need is some beads, wire, jump rings, and pliers. Join me in creating some fun dangles and charms for your journals on Tuesday’s LIVE!

On Thursday, it’s time for more leather crafting. We will be creating with one of Realeather‘s kits – it’s a classic and would make a great gift for anyone who has a credit card! Watch HERE …

Project inspiration from the Creative Team…

For February, the project theme for the Creative Team is “Anything Goes”. The designers are going back to any of Eileen’s dies or products in their stashes and creating some wonderful projects to inspire you!

Tonya Trantham was able to complete a work in progress – a beautiful prayer journal. The base was made using the Skinny Mini Book Box Die. Find all the details in Tonya’s post. Also check out her flip through video below!

Designer Jenny Marples created a set of Notebooks that fit perfectly inside a matching Treasure Box. Their cheerfully colored collage style is a visual treat! Don’t miss the video below for a closer look…

More details, don’t miss it…

Tonya Trantham also has a bonus project to share with you – a Valentine she made using the Mini Album Die for the card base. See the other dies she used and her process in her post.

Merry Christmas with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

24 Dec

Merry Christmas to you all! This month the Inspiration Team designers are picking their three favorite projects from the year and sharing them with all you Eileen fans. We have a few more to share this week:

Lisa Hoel had a hard time picking out only three projects! Mixed media is one of her favorite modes to work in and it shows in her makes. Visit her blog to see the details.

Elizabeth Robinson has fab set of projects for her favorites too. So lovely! She also has a blog post round up of all three so you can get a closer look. Head on over!

Merry Christmas from Eileen:

Hi friends – I’m back from NY visiting with Mom and my sister. We had a good visit and got lots done. Mom is doing great – I could not help but think of how she was a year ago – bedridden and on hospice. Now she is up and walking – doing puzzles, knitting, reading and part of the world again. My mother is one amazing lady!

I have a really fun project today and hope you can join me. We are creating a box of cards using the Skinny Mini Book Box die – you can find it HERE! I found a cool tool and will be using it with my gel plate to create some really pretty prints! Hope you can join me, but if not, I get it – It’s Christmas Eve! In that case, I hope you will catch me on replay.

I want to thank you all for your support and your friendship. I am so blessed to know all of you fantastic people! Also, so many thanks for our amazing and talented team who are constantly dreaming up fabulous projects and ideas to inspire us all. Sending my wishes for a happy holidays to all!

2025 is coming soon. Any ideas for things you would like to see happening in the group? Let us know in the Eileen Hull Fan Club!

Bonus Christmas projects for your inspiration!

Tonya Trantham has another bonus Christmas card to share. Using Eileen’s Plate & Pattern Layered Stencil Set and the Wreath & Snowflake Thinlits Die Set, she made this beautiful card.

We also have an extra Christmas project from Pam Bray for you too! She used the Card Caddy Die to make this festive holder for a pack of Christmas napkins. (Looks like a perfect hostess gift to me!) It would also be great for holding cookies or candy. You can find more details in her post.

Adding to this week’s inspiration is a flash back project using Eileen’s Tiled Alphanumeric Thinlits Die. A pack of these quick and easy Thank You cards (from Maggi Harding) would make a great gift to give.

Eileen Hull’s October Sizzix Release Recap!

31 Oct

Did you catch the October Sizzix Release Party last week? There were so many projects to share and inspire you. The designers really outdid themselves! Check out the round up of their work below and keep an eye out for even more! You will not want to miss out on Eileen’s latest release from Sizzix.

Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:

This Eileen Hull Sizzix release was designed with journaling in mind! If you have never journaled before, this collection of seven products is a great place to start! In it, you will find everything that you need to get going. If you have been journaling for a while, you will want to add these items to your stash – the pieces are very versatile and will coordinate with many of the other dies you may already have.

The base die is the 5” x 5” x 1” Mini-Album, a Scoreboard die specially designed to cut and score thick material AND it cuts in one pass- so easy and quick! You can also use this die to cut the pages that go inside. There are three accessory Thinlits dies: Floral Pocket and Paperclips, Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers and Charms that cut pockets, bookmarks, embellishments, paper clips, charms and extras that may be used to decorate the pages of the book.

There is a stamp set called Fan Favorites with 61 words and phrases to use inside the book, on cards, and tags! Plate and Pattern is a four layer stencil- each layer may be used separately or all together. Create page backgrounds, use on your gel plate, outline and stitch the design on fabric or to trace shapes and fill in with watercolor. The Floral Damask multi-level 3D embossing folder creates a beautiful background useful for journal pages, cards and tags!

The new collection:
