Spring Project Inspiration from Eileen Hull’s Creative Team

Spring project inspiration time! A new month means a new theme for the Creative Team so for March they are being inspired by SPRING! It’s time to create projects that celebrate the new season almost upon us. Any of Eileen’s past dies and products are fair game so let’s see what projects we have to share this week…

Sarah Lizzie used felt and Eileen’s Painterly Blooms & Background Die Set to create these darling egg ornaments for an Easter tree. Find the how-to and more photos of these cheerful makes on her blog.


Designer Pam Bray is getting ready for Easter as well with this duo of cute candy containers. Using the 3D Teacup & Spoon and 3D Basket Dies for the containers, she decked them out with pretty pastels and flowers (Painterly Blooms & Background Die Set). Get a closer look on her blog!

Eileen Hull happenings…

Crafting Adventures & New Team Inspiration with Eileen Hull

Hi friends – Susie and I are just back from a fantastic trip to Florida where we taught at Crafting at the Nest. We loved meeting everyone and being inspired by their enthusiasm and excellent crafting skills. We even got to celebrate Cindy’s (the store owner) birthday – thanks for making us feel so welcome everyone! We also have new Creative Team inspiration for you with this month’s “Anything Goes” theme.

So getting back to creating… I received a box a while ago from AdTech, one of the premier glue gun manufacturers. There’s a new model out I have been dying to test and Tuesday was the day 🙂 I share some tips and tricks I have found while making wax seals.

I am so excited to be traveling out to California at the end of February to Frank Garcia Studio! It is beautiful store and I’ve got some really fun projects to share. It’s worth a trip just to see Frank’s store but while you’re at it come and take a class or two! I’ll be teaching three classes – you can register HERE! 


Creative Team Inspiration…

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

Our designers this week are finding inspiration from the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday. Sarah Lizzie created a beautiful card using the Teacup & Spoon 3D Die, Floral Damask Embossing Folder and Painterly Blooms & Background Die Set. Find all the details in Sarah Lizzie’s post.


Pam Bray crafted a fabulous love themed album using the Field Notes & Specimen Card Die. Pam gets bonus points using parts from a partially completed project to make it! Check it out on her blog for details!


Getting organized in 2025!

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. I expect this will be a longer process than a month, but the end I will have a beautiful organized room to create in. Stay tuned for info on more giveaways coming soon!

We are wrapping up our September theme this week with fab makes from the Educator Team!

Card Creations & New Chapter 1 Dies from Eileen Hull

Have you been inspired this month to make some card creations and send someone a little happy mail? The Inspiration Team has been cranking out the greeting cards to share with you. I am always amazed at how makers can use the exact same dies and have their projects be so wildly different. It just goes to show how versatile dies are as tools! Eileen has three new Sizzix Chapter 1 dies that just got released, the Mandala Thinlits Die, the Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers Thinlits Set, and the Folio Journal XL Die. The first two Thinlits sets are proving very popular with the teams for card making! Let’s take a look…

Elizabeth Robinson created a beautiful floral card using the two new Thinlits dies and some gorgeous colors of cardstock. Who wouldn’t love to get a cheerful card like this in the mail? You can find more info on Elizabeth’s blog so check that out.

For a completely different but equally beautiful look, Anna-Karin Evaldsson used the Mandala Die and the Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers Set as well but gave it an inky vintage vibe. See, versatility! 😉 The possibilities are endless. Find Anna-Karin’s tips and tricks in her blog post.

I am loving how Jenny Marples cut the flowers from the Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers Die Set out of vellum. Popping off from the mixed media background, they still let you see a bit of it through the petals. Delightful! Don’t miss Jenny’s post with all the details.
