Eileen Hull’s Classic Die Release from Sizzix!

The beginning of May saw Eileen Hull’s latest Classic Die release! These favorite retired designs have been brought back for your crafting creativity. They are the Notebook Die, the Stacking Drawer Box Die and the Treasure Box Die. The Notebook and Drawers all fit perfectly into the Treasure Box so you can mix and match them together for all sorts of project combinations.


You may have gotten a peek at these two new Eileen Hull products during her recent UK teaching tour. Officially being released in June, Eileen has designed a set of four layering stencils and a matching Thinlits die set. The die can be used to cut out the stenciled flowers. We’ll be seeing a lot more of these next month!

Time for this week’s inspiration from the Team…

Here to tantalize you with the upcoming Painterly Blooms release is Jenny Marples with this stunning flower covered Notebook. You can see she used the Lattice stencil underneath and then festooned it with die cut and painted flowers. Find the details on her blog!

Using the Stacking Drawer Die, Elizabeth Robinson created a teacher thank you gift. (It’s that time of year.) What a great idea! This would be wonderful way to dress up a small gift. See how she did it in her post.

Pam Bray used two lids from the Treasure Box Die to create a shorter box that holds stationery accessories. Brilliant idea! This would make a wonderful gift as well. You’ll find Pam’s tutorial on her blog.

May Sizzix Release – Classic Dies from Eileen Hull

We are celebrating the May Sizzix release of three of Eileen Hull’s classic die designs. These favorite retired designs have been brought back for your crafting creativity! They are the Notebook Die, the Stacking Drawer Box Die and the Treasure Box Die. The Notebook and Drawers all fit perfectly into the Treasure Box so you can mix and match them together for all sorts of project combinations.


Maggi Harding is going to start us off this week with a matching trio of projects using each of the three dies. She used the same Graphic 45 paper collection for them all and I love those bright colors! Find all the details on her blog.

Re-doing a project from when the Notebook Die was first released, Jennie Atkinson has created a lovely folio style journal full of pockets and flaps. You will not want to miss all the details and video tutorial for this project so head on over to Jennie’s post.

Susie Bentz needed something to hold all the ATCs she made for an art challenge so she turned to the Treasure Box Die. Looks like it’s a perfect fit for ATCs! I’m also inspired by Susie’s use of washi tape to decorate the box. Brilliant! Find all the instructions in her blog post.

Sarah Lizzie created this delightful sea encrusted Treasure Box. Wouldn’t this be a fun project to make with children for them to keep things in? It would then truly be a “treasure box”. Find out more on her blog!

Designer Lisa Hoel has a project to share from back in 2019 when these dies were first released. She made a sewing kit from the Treasure Box and Notebook dies. One notebook is a needlebook with felt pages and the other is a zippered notions holder. Find the tutorials on Lisa’s blog!

Journals Inspired by Nature

Welcome to September! As you know, a new month means a new theme here on the blog. This month we are taking a look at journals inspired by nature! Additionally, the Teams have been challenged to use dies that aren’t normally considered “journal dies”. Let’s see what inspiration they have for us this week!

First up we have Karen Bearse with her fabulous winter themed nature journal. She used the Mitten Die to create a gate fold cover that perfectly matches the theme of the mini album. The whole album is full of delightful details and mixed media goodness. Be sure to head on over to Karen’s blog post and see all the step out photos for this make!

Designer Pam Bray created a sweet nature themed desk set using the popular Vintage Truck Die. Flowers and butterflies combine to create a lovely shabby chic look! Pam also stocked her desk set with a matching notebook and other office supplies. What a cute addition to your office decor. Details can be found on Pam’s blog!

Lastly for this week is Lisa Hoel’s nature specimens box, Part 1. She created the main structure with the Treasure Box and Stacking Drawer Dies. Shabby chic nature is on display! A little mini journal inspired by nature resides inside the lid (to be revealed in Part 2!) Check out Lisa’s blog for details.

May We Get Unconventional?

… with materials that is! Yes, it’s a new month with a new theme and May’s is “Unconventional Materials”! It’s time to think outside of the box (or cut up that box). Eileen Hull has challenged her Teams (and you) to create projects that use her dies with materials and substrates you wouldn’t normally think of crafting with. We are expecting to see some very creative makes from everyone so keep your eyes on the blog and join us in the Fan Club to share your projects.

Karen Bearse is starting us off strong with the unconventional material of… beer cans! She made this totally cool Pocket Notebook journal for her husband using the cans from some of his favorite beverages. Wow! She is sharing the Part 1 tutorial for making the cover on her blog now (stay tuned for more).

Julia Aston is getting organized in her craft room with custom “bits and bobs” sorters made using the Stacking Drawer Die and a plastic placemat. (Check out what she used for the handles too!) I agree with Julia that she needs to make many, many more of these cute little organizers. See how she did it on her blog!

Lisa Hoel will have her official “unconventional materials” project posted later in the month. For now she is sharing a journal that is more of an “unconventional format” project. 😉 Visit her blog for tons of photos and a tutorial about her Day & Night reversible journal made with the Pocket Notebook. See how you can use all the Folio accessory dies in journals that are not made with the Folio base!
