A Look at the New Collection & Creative Team Projects

23 Apr

A word from Eileen Hull & her new Sizzix collection…

This weekend I painted my front porch! It’s amazing how much better it looks and although I was a little sore, it was well worth the two days work. The fresh new color makes me very happy. Speaking of color, get ready for the new Sizzix collection headed your way – it’s all about how you can use color wheels in your projects and art.

I’m happy to say that the new May 2025 Bundle is now available for pre-order in my Etsy shop. There are five items in the set: Bigz XL Handbound Journal ($48.99), Journal Hardware Bigz ($34.99), Colour Wheel Stencil ($24.99), Rainbow Wheel die ($24.99) Swatch Cards stamps ($24.99). The set is coordinated to work together but each piece also stands alone. I know you love having options!

I’m offering the Bundle at $144 (if purchased separately, cost would be $158.95) PLUS free shipping in the US. It’s now available for pre-order HERE! The Bundle will be released on May 1 and will ship immediately after. I’m so excited to see what you all do with it!


If you live outside the US, purchase from your local store. If they don’t carry it, you can ask them to order it for you. We have a list of stockists in the Eileen Hull Fan Club – check the files section. 

Mark your calendars!

The May 2025 Launch Party is coming on May 1 at noon Eastern! Join the team and I for a look at the new dies, stamps, and stencils and all that can be done with them! Team members will be joining me from around the world to share their tips and techniques – I CAN’T WAIT! 🙂

Don’t forget to sign up for the four day virtual BellaCon craft workshop event coming in May! If you want a ticket that includes the swag, make sure to get your ticket early – there is only enough swag for the first 125 people and it is a LOT! Get your ticket HERE!


Creative Team inspiration…

For our April theme, the Creative Team designers are either finishing up projects that have been sitting for a time (aka UnFinished Objects), or revisiting a project and putting a new spin on it with different dies. We’d love to see you share your UFO projects in the Fan Club too.

Lisa Hoel had an embroidered felt journal cover (made using the retired Book Box Die) that had been sitting around since ahem… 2022. She finished the journal by creating all in the inside pages using stamps, the Plate & Pattern Stencil Set and postage stamps cut using all three of Eileen’s posage die set. See all the pics in her post.

Inside…


Tonya Trantham has a quick and easy mini book project to share with us. She used the Mini Book Die, Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits and Floral Pocket & Paperclips Thinlits sets.You can find all the details here.


Watch Eileen live and see the new collection!

Here’s the info on our lives this week!

Today at 6:00 Eastern, I am doing a sneak peek of how the Swatch Card stamp set and the Rainbow Wheel die work together. Click HERE to watch 🙂


I’m busy cleaning because my friend Katharina from Creative Scrapbooker is coming to stay with me as she displays at the Scrapbook Expo show. I’ll be going live from the show but it doesn’t open until Friday so the day will be different this week. WATCH HERE ON FRIDAY!

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.

Inspiration from Eileen Hull’s Newest Die Release

23 May

The beginning of May saw Eileen Hull’s newest die release! Sizzix brought back three retired designs for your crafting pleasure. They are the Notebook Die, the Stacking Drawer Box Die and the Treasure Box Die. The Notebook and Drawers all fit perfectly into the Treasure Box so you can mix and match them together for all sorts of project combinations.


Let’s get to the inspiration for the week!

Lisa Hoel created a delightful desk set project using the Treasure Box and Stacking Drawer dies combined. The three drawers hold things like paper clips and a little Mini Book notebook ties into the lid. Find more photos and a tutorial on her blog!

Maggi Harding used the Notebook Die to create a stylish and handy little journal to keep in your purse and jot notes in. Such a great gift idea! She added some pockets and other tuck spots to make it even more useful. Find all the details in her post.

Designer Susie Bentz has two fabulous projects to share with us this week. The first is an ATC holder made using the Notebook Die and covered with washi tape to match the Treasure Box ATC holder she shared previously. Awesome!! See more here in her post.
