Notebook Die Archives

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

6 Aug

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.

New Sizzix Collection from Eileen Hull! May 2025!

Inspiration from the Creative Team…

For our April theme, the Creative Team designers either finished up projects that had been sitting for a time (aka UnFinished Objects), or revisited a project and put a new spin on it with different dies. We’re wrapping up that theme this week!

Teresita Arvelo created this cheerful little book for list making using the Notebook Die. It’s the perfect size to keep close at hand for when inspiration or need strikes! See all the pics in her post.

Sue Eldred revisited the past with this beautiful Mini Album project. She dug deep into her stash for an old K & Company patterned paper collection and used it for the album. (I loved that company too!) You can see more here.

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…

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!

Flip through:

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.

“What’s in the Box?” Treasure Box Die Wrap Up

29 Aug

“What’s in the Box?” has been our theme for August. All month we’ve focused on the versatile Treasure Box Die and the Inspiration Team has really knocked it out of the park! We’re wrapping it up this week with a final round of projects.

Lisa Hoel made a box to hold some of her vintage button hoard. I think you’ll agree this is better than having them get dusty in an open bowl on the shelf! She also used Eileen’s 3-D Vintage Buttons Embossing Folder to perfectly decorate the Treasure Box. Find the details in her post.

Check out this clever idea from Sue Eldred! She used the Treasure Box Die to create a “tackle” gift box for your favorite fisherman. I love it! Visit her post to see how she altered the die cut structure to make it look more like a real tackle box.

Cool technique alert! Jenny Marples is sharing a flash back Treasure Box project featuring a faux pitted enamel finish. Fabulous! Find out how to create this look in Jenny’s tutorial. You’ll want to add it to your box of tricks.

Pam Bray has an extra project to share with us this week too. She used the Notebook Die to create this lovely little junk journal. The inside is just as nice as the outside so don’t miss all the details on Pam’s blog.

Come back next week for a new September theme!
