Use Eileen Hull Dies to Organize!

Hi friends, Eileen here. You can use my dies to organize supplies! On today’s live, I will be creating with the Gift Box Die and making an organizer for my newly cleaned off workspace. Watch and see how simple it is to construct these boxes and keep ephemera at your fingertips. Or use them for a desk organizer in your office – they fit anywhere!


On Thursday, I am excited to have Margaret Sidenstick on for a new monthly feature! Margaret and I will be pushing the envelope on some dies and putting a new twist on them. This is going to be so much fun!

Still organizing…

I am still at it, going through boxes and supplies, working on the #TIDYUP2025 Challenge we have going on in the Eileen Hull Fan Club Facebook group. If you want to be part of it, just take before and after pics of your space and share with us all. It keeps me going and I get great tips on ways to store things. On Tuesday I will do the first giveaway so make sure to watch the live!


I have had to make some hard decisions… How is it going for you? I have been getting down to boxes I have not seen in years! Today I am organizing the Teams’ samples and it is a treasure trove! SO MANY IDEAS! But I am trying to stay focused. I haven’t been online much because I am really on a roll and don’t want to lose momentum. I love seeing pics of your spaces and on Sunday, January 26, make sure to watch because I will be sharing the video of what I have gotten up to so far when I take part in Cara Brandon’s monthlong Declutter and Get Organized 2025 Challenge; you can go here to see the calendar of events. Just click on each day and it will take you right to the video.

Last Thursday we did a live for Realeather showing how to make cord organizers from leather and I showed how to set a snap, rivet and button stud. Nothing like a good tool to get the job done! Just in time for all of our reorganizing efforts. You can watch it HERE if you missed it!

Projects from the Inspiration Team…

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

Jenny Marples took to her needle and thread to create fabulous stitched coasters. Check out Eileen’s Instagram account to catch the little how-to video. Jenny used the Plate & Pattern 4-Layer Stencil Set to mark her stitching lines on the fabric. So clever!


Tonya Trantham created this beautiful floral decor piece using the Charms and Shadowbox Frames Die Sets (plus some others). Check it out on her blog for the how-to!


Classes with Eileen!

On January 31 – February 26, Eileen will be traveling to Florida to teach two full days of classes at Crafting at the Nest! If you live anywhere nearby, I hope you can join us!

Jenny Marples has great attention to the details and it shows in this fabulous fall themed box she created using the Slotted Treat Box Die. She ended up hand sewing all the zig zag stitching. Impressive Jenny and worth the effort. The felt leaves add such a nice touch too. Pay Jenny’s blog a visit for more.

Chapter 3 Tutorials Using Eileen Hull’s Newest Sizzix Dies

Did you catch the Live Release Party last week? As usual, it was loads of fun and inspiration overload! The designers really outdid themselves with this new collection. We’re continuing on with a closer look at the Chapter 3 tutorials for all their great makes so scroll on…

The new dies:

2023 Chapter 3 Release for Eileen Hull - New Sizzix Die collection! #eileenhull #teameileen #sizzix #mysizzixstory

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

The Bigz Plus* Slotted Treat Box Die measures 6 1/2” x 5” x 3 1/2” and can hold so many things – a set of cards, journals, doll clothes, ephemera storage or you can even use it as a gift box! This is a Scoreboards die which is specially designed to cut and score thick material like matboard, chipboard, leather, felt, fabric and metal. *A 9” wide machine is required to cut this die.

The Field Notes and Specimen Card Die is a Bigz XL die that holds 5” x 7” pages or photos – a new orientation! The Specimen Card may be used to hold photos, as a journaling card or a shaker. Holes are pre-cut into the book spine which is adjustable from 1/2” to 1 1/2 in width. *XL Cutting Pads will be needed to cut the book cover.

The Envelope, Folder & Flowers Thinlits Die Set is made up of nine dies – an adorable mini envelope, file folder, set of small, medium and large hearts, and a large and small flower and leaf set. This die set will be perfect to create ephemera using your scraps!

The Keys 3D Embossing Folder is special to me. The keys all came from my Dad’s house. The names on the keys had to be removed because of possible copyright issues, but I love the idea of stamping or writing words on them. The detail on this is beautiful and I can’t wait to add Luster Wax to make the design pop!

Chapter 3 tutorials to share this week:

Jenny Marples created a fabulous summer themed journal using the Field Notes & Specimen Card Die. I love the bold contrast between the black cover and soft summer colors throughout. Don’t miss all the photos of the pages inside Jenny’s journal so head on over to her blog!

The base is made using the Shadow Box Frames #1 Thinlits Die Set and she decorated it using the new Envelope, Folder & Flowers Thinlits Die Set and Snail Mail Die plus patterned paper from P13. See all the details in her post!

Preserving Travel Memories with Eileen Hull’s Dies

How do you like to document the memories of your trips and holidays? Not surprisingly, we like to use Eileen Hull’s dies and stamps of course! Her various journal dies are perfect for making little albums. This week we have two designers from the Team sharing their inspiration for preserving travel memories. Let’s see what they have for us…

Jennie Atkinson has been on some fun trips with her old school chums and she created a fabulous shabby chic box in which to store the ephemera and mementos. It’s made from the Book Box Die and it’s full of folders to organize everything. I love that vintage vibe! Find more photos and a tutorial video on Jennie’s blog.

Designer Susie Bentz wanted to have her travel memories on display so she reached for the Shadow Box Frame Dies to create these decor pieces. This is such a versatile idea! Adapt it to preserve the memories for any event or trip! Find all the details and instructions in Susie’s blog post.

Using Up Leftovers with Eileen Hull’s Dies

In June we are using up our leftovers! We’ve all got them – those little bits and pieces which we can’t bear to part with, the last of a pack of paper, bits of stamping, collected items for recycling… you get the idea! This month you’ve seen the Teams creating with leftovers in projects using Eileen’s dies. Get your own scraps out and make something along with us. Be sure to show us in the Fan Club!

Designer Sarah Lizzie created an absolutely super cute Tiny Book using papers from her scrap stash. I love it! It does make me happy! Check out the details on her blog.
