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.

Jenny Marples chose a lovely selection of her favorite projects to share! Jenny always makes the most stunning journals and her stitching projects are to die for.

From Eileen, “Hi friends – I’m back home after a family Thanksgiving in CT and a cruise to the Bahamas. How did I get so lucky? It is nice to be home though and getting the house cozy and ready for winter. I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and are busy creating. This is right about when the holiday mojo hits me – better late than never!

Today I have a huge box of samples to share from Stacey’s team at Scrapbooking Made Simple – I decided to wait and open it with you so I will be surprised along with you 🙂

I am going to be sharing some ideas for the Stacking Drawer die today – it’s great for gifting small treasures, a special piece of chocolate, handmade jewelry or tiny memories.”

AND IT’S ON SALE!!!

“I am offering the Stacking Drawer die at the crazy price of $30 – that’s $20 off the normal price! Click HERE to order it if you don’t already have it. This die works with the Treasure Box Die – you can stack three of the drawers inside it. Great for storage, organizing and gifting!

I hope you can join me. If not you can always catch the replay…”
