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.

Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies – Inspiration from the Creative Team!

18 Jun

There were so many individual items in the May Release that we are having another month of sharing more wonderful inspiration and projects from the Creative Team! Check out what we have to share this week…

Pam Bray cleverly used the Rainbow Wheel Die Set to create lemons for her first card. She used the same die set to make a celebratory mixed media card as well. Check out both here.


Teresita Arvelo made a fab garden journal using the Handbound Journal Die as a base and filling it with all sorts of garden goodness. Check it out here and be sure to follow her on Instagram.


Designer Elizabeth Robinson crafted this gorgeous journal with metallic accents and Japanese paper. She filled the inside with black pages and used them to swatch metallic watercolors. Lovely! Check out the details here.


Keeping up with Eileen Hull…

Hi all – hope you had a great weekend! The weather here is rainy and a little cool. We had a nice quiet weekend and spent Father’s Day with our youngest daughter and family.  

I have been trying to tidy up and found some handmade paper I had bought a while ago at Marco’s Paper. It’s so pretty that I decided to use it in today’s video – I will be posting some handmade paper kits in my Etsy shop if you’d like to give it a try. The weight of this paper is really nice for this cool technique of book-binding. I’ll also have some tips on other supplies needed to create this pretty watercolor journal.


For our Realeather class this week, we are making this embossed and stamped Recipe Journal. These techniques are great to know as you can personalize your projects by stamping a name or date on the finished project to create bespoke items.


On Friday night, I’ll be live again for Craft Showdown with my friends Cara Brandon and Sheri Kord – please follow them! We will be going live on Friday, June 20 at 9:00 ET on a show called Craft Showdown. It is shaping up to be an amazingly creative and hilarious night, make sure to subscribe!

More Inspiration Using Eileen Hull’s Newest Dies!

12 Jun

As there were so many individual items in the May Release, we are having another month of sharing more inspiration and projects each week from the Creative Team. Scroll down to see!

Hi all, I’m finally back in a somewhat normal routine after our trip.This weekend we went out to our house in Delaware to get it ready for the summer renters. Luckily I was able to squeeze in some thrifting in between cleaning and painting 🙂 Is this something you would like to see in a craft live? Or do you think it would be better to see in a separate video? 

This week I am doing TWO 10 ways videos. On Tuesday, we’ll be looking at lots of ways to decorate kraft journal pages- click the graphic to watch: 


On Wednesday night at 10:00 Eastern, I am a guest on the Cool To Craft Pajama Party and I will be sharing a fun way to organize washi tape! 


There are so many ways to use tags in your journal – create with me on Thursday! I’ll be using my Waterfall & Tags Sizzix die to make them.


On Friday, I’ll be live again; 4 days in a row! I’ll be talking with my friends Cara Brandon and Sheri Kord about an event I’ll be part of on Friday, June 20 at 9:00 ET called Craft Showdown! Stay tuned for a link to the live and make sure to subscribe!

More Project Inspiration from the Creative Team…

As there were so many individual items in the May Release we will have another month sharing more wonderful inspiration and projects each week from the Creative Team.

Maggi Harding created these bold mixed media cards using Eileen’s new Color Wheel Stencil Set plus the Plate & Pattern Set. So cool and fun to make! Check out Maggi’s post and the video short below.


Tonya Trantham also created a bright and cheerful card full of her layering magic. The Handbound Journal Die works great for cutting a card base with that fab scalloped edge.

Techniques & Ideas for Using Eileen’s New Sizzix Collection

15 May

Technique time with Eileen Hull!

I can’t wait to share this amazing technique that I just figured out over the weekend… Discover just how simple it is to create custom insert books for your Handbound Journal — using the die itself! With minimal effort, you can cut perfectly sized pages that fit seamlessly into your journal. Whether you’re adding lined paper for notes, blank pages for sketching, or specialty sheets for planning, the die makes it easy to create consistent, professional-looking inserts every time. It’s a quick, efficient way to personalize your journal to suit your exact needs.


In case you missed watching the Release Party you can still do it by clicking on the link! So many amazing projects by the team! 

Other News from Eileen…

Hi all – I am back from my trip to h + h americas and Great Lakes MegaMeet! It was a lot to pack in and many hours on the road but I am so glad I went! The best part of the trip was connecting with friends and exploring new partnership opportunities.

The day after I left, the May Release products arrived here at the house and Debbie quickly got them shipped out to you. I hope you have had some time to create with them. If so, make sure to post in the Fan Club so we can see what you have been up to!

We leave for our two week river cruise on Saturday. I will have a video or two for you scheduled on YouTube because I hear that the internet is not great on the boat. Make sure you are SUBSCRIBED TO MY CHANNEL and have notifications turned on so you will be notified when a new video goes live 🙂

BellaCon is happening this week! SIGN UP HERE! I will be sharing my project on Wednesday – hope you can join me and the other instructors- such a great event!

Thursday Live:

On Thursday, we’ll be diving into an exciting and creative technique session focused on crafting unique journal accessory pieces from leather. This hands-on activity will guide you through the process of transforming raw leather into beautiful, functional additions for your journals — such as pen loops, pockets, closures, tabs, bookmarks, and more! Watch HERE…
