Three dimensional art... with heart

Favorite Sizzix Journals from Eileen Hull’s Creative Team

It’s the middle of September! Favorite Sizzix Journals is our Creative Team theme. In addition, we are having some collaborations with other companies. Our UK designers are having their turn using exciting Grafix Arts speciality plastic films and sheets. USA designers are testing out Bearly Art glue. We have some more great projects to share this week:

Tonya Trantham has part one of a journal project made using Eileen’s Notebook Die for us. She’s using the Notebook cut scored in different places to create the staggered pages. So clever! Find the details and how to here.


Extra, Extra!

Amy Powers created this fabulous mini garden inspired by Eileen’s Garden Gate Die. You will be amazed! Check out her tutorial video below.


Flashback!

Our UK Creative Team members are working on the collaboration with Grafix Arts this month but Lisa Hoel wanted to reshare her collab journal from February. The cover is made with the classic Journal Die and it’s full of family trip photos, Grafix films and Eileen die touches. See more here.


I spy the Tiled Alphanumeric Die!


News from Eileen Hull…

I have been in NY with Mom for a week and fall is definitely in the air! My sister’s yard and garden are so pretty – I have been out picking bouquets and attempting to paint them at night after Mom goes to bed. Life is slow and quiet here but we have had a couple of adventures and some good laughs. Lots of memories and telling of old family stories, card games, puzzles and coloring books and the night always ends with an episode or two of “Call the Midwife”. 


To all the caregivers out there – I have so much admiration and respect for you. A good caregiver is a gift to the family and the patient. Mom has two ladies right now who are so patient and kind to her and we are so grateful. I’m trying my best but they are another level. 

ON TODAY’S LIVE

Margaret and I have decided to work with the Home Sweet Home Thinlits die. There are 23 dies in the set, including some adorable woodland creatures, pine trees and branches, house, clouds, sun, moon and stars. There are so many ways you can go with this die! I hope you will join us today to see what we make. Get your set out and craft along with us!


IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: A New Way to Make Window Envelopes

Still having a blast with these! If you haven’t see it yet, it’s worth a watch if I do say so myself 🙂  And you might want to check out my Window Envelope Digital Kit specially designed for this technique on Etsy. 


You can find everything you need to make them – dies, matboard, napkins and adhesive in my Etsy shop. I have found that the Journal, Skinny Mini Book Box and Full Size Journal dies all work well with this project along with Thinlits in geometric or label shapes, like the Library Pocket, Mini Slimline, Bookmark and Pockets, Tunnel Arches, Floral Pocket and Waterfall and Tags.

Journals & More with Eileen Hull’s Creative Team

Hello Eileen fans! Our overall Creative Team theme is “My Favorite Journal”. In addition, we are having some collaborations with other companies. Our UK designers are having their turn using exciting Grafix Arts speciality plastic films and sheets. USA designers are testing out Bearly Art glue. Let’s see what inspiration we have this week…

Jennie Atkinson created a mini junk journal using Eileen’s Notebook Die with Grafix Dura-Lar Prints sheets and graphics printed on their Rainbow Film. Check out her video below: 


Flashback!

Lisa Hoel has one of her favorite journal projects to share. She made this one to debut Eileens color wheel collection last year. The Handbound Journal Die was used for the base and it is full of other Eileen goodness . Details here.


Each color in the color wheel got its own set of pages.


News from Eileen…

I hope you had a great weekend! My husband was out of town, so I spent my time thrifting, shopping, crafting, and cleaning. 🙂 What can I say—it was amazing! Of course, I had big plans to make lots of items for the upcoming craft show. I did manage to make a few things, but there’s still plenty on the to-do list!

On Wednesday, I’m heading up to New York for a week with Mom while my sister and BIL enjoy some well-deserved time at the beach. I’m looking forward to some special time together!

A New Way to Make Window Envelopes

I love using recycled window envelopes to decorate and add fun ephemera to my junk journals. What I don’t love is having to measure around all those different-sized windows when I want to cover the envelope with pretty paper!

I was so excited when I discovered a quicker and easier way to make them using dies I already had on hand. This technique is SO cool—and so addictive! 🙂

I hope you’ll craft along with me and give it a try. Once the envelopes are made, we’ll take them one step further with napkin decoupage. I can’t wait to see how they turn out!


You can find everything you need to make them – dies, matboard, napkins and adhesive in my Etsy shop. I have found that the Journal, Skinny Mini Book Box and Full Size Journal dies all work well with this project along with Thinlits in geometric or label shapes, like the Library Pocket, Mini Slimline, Bookmark and Pockets, Tunnel Arches, Floral Pocket and Waterfall and Tags.

I hope you were able to catch Rebecca Meier on our last livestream – she shared her new rice paper release with Joggles and they are absolutely stunning! 

Fan Club ATC Swap!

ATC LAUNCH!!!

Signups for the ATC SWAP started on September 1. You have until September 10 to sign up so if you haven’t, do it now! Please read the guidelines below. Share your art with a fellow creator.

INTERNATIONAL MEMBERS – I’m told by many of you that the Google sign up sheet cannot be opened. I’m so sorry about that and not sure why. If you would like to sign up, please contact me by responding to this email or post in the comments in the Fan Club under the event announcement with your name and email address- I will add you to the list. Please tag me too – I don’t want to miss anyone! 

An artist trading card (ATC) is a tiny piece of original art. It measures strictly 2.5 by 3.5 inches, the exact same size as a standard baseball or trading card. Artists make these small cards to trade or give away for free, rather than to sell.

These are the guidelines:

  • Size: Must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches to fit standard card collector sheets and sleeves. Each card should have an Eileen Hull product as a focus.
  • Back Details: Please include on the back of the card: your name, date, event, number in series
  • Mediums: Creators use any material they like, including paint, collage, drawing, markers, fabric, and mixed media.
  • Shipping: this ATC can be sent in a standard envelope with regular postage. As long as it weighs less than an ounce, the cost to ship is the price of an .82 stamp. For reasons of economy and time, the swap will pair US with US and international with international.
  • Timeline: Registration opens September 1st and goes till September 10th. On September 12th, you will receive the name of your swap buddy. You will have until September 29th to mail out your swap.
  • In October, we will share our swaps in the Eileen Hull Fan Club – stay tuned for dates!

Sign up for the swap here!

Eileen Hull’s Let’s Get Sewing April Wrap Up!

It’s time to wrap up our April theme of “Let’s Get Sewing!” The Creative Team has explored all sorts of creative ways to use Eileen’s dies with sewing and stitching. Let’s see what inspiration the Team has for us this week:

Madeline Arendt used Eileen’s Notebook Die to make a credit card holder that is easy to tuck into a pocket or your purse. So clever! She used fabric, paper and fusible interfacing in its construction. More details and tutorial here!


Sue Eldred shows you how to make your own pocket sewing kit using the Needle Book Die and felt. This would make a great little Mother’s Day present! Find the instructions here.

News from Eileen…

Hi friends – thank you so much for your kind responses to my video/announcements last week. You are very special to me and I am comforted to know you guys have my back.

Eileen Live!

Today it’s time for One Die Three Ways! I am excited to be creating with Margaret and Teresita! We will each be creating with the Waterfall & Tags die set, which is a must have if you are a journaler. I love to craft with friends because it’s fun to see how other crafters, craft! I hope you will craft along with us at home, then share it in the Fan Club so we can see your version! If you don’t have the featured die, you can find it here:


MORE ideas for the Waterfall & Tags Die Set:

Here are a few flashback projects made using the Waterfall & Tags Die Set that Eileen and crew will be working with on the live. It’s always good to get more inspiration and that is a versatile die set!

Jenny Marples used them to make journaling/photo spots in this journal:


Lisa Hoel integrated them into her journal pages and hid surprises underneath. You can see more in her post here.


Eileen Hull on the road!

This time next week, I will be on the road to Chicago to go to the H + H Americas show, a trade show for the fiber/stitching/sewing industry. I’ll also be meeting up with creative friends to put our heads together and see how we might fit in here. If the internet is cooperating, I will do a video so you can see what it’s all about! 

On Saturday, May 9, I am headed to One Paper Place in Frankfort, IL to teach this Watercolor Garden Gate Album (die coming soon!) You will also learn lots of techniques, have fun and get a tour of Daisy! If you live nearby, tell your family you want this for a Mother’s Day gift 🙂 REGISTER HERE


DAISY Update!

It took a while to shake that flu we had last week but we managed to break free and dive back into the renovating of Daisy. Hayward got the benches done and our friend and neighbor, Joe, made a beautiful scalloped shelf for over my desk and it is perfect! She is looking really good – tonight I finished painting and am ready to move on to decorating.


I found an unopened 3″ memory foam pad in the barn and after a day of expanding, it looks nice and fluffy. I am hoping I can use it for cushions on the benches – stay tuned…


THE TINY HAND TOTE BAGS HAVE ARRIVED!!!

Remember, if you order the May Die Bundle, you will get one free with your order!

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.

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.
