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!

Maggi Harding has another Notebook project to share. She is a whiz at utilizing Graphic 45 paper collections! The insides are just as beautiful as the outsides so don’t miss a closer look 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.

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!

Saving Travel Memories Wrap Up!

This month we’ve been looking at ways of saving travel memories. Eileen Hull’s dies and stamps are perfect for documenting your vacations and travels! Her various journal dies are great for making little albums for a start. Of course, you can go beyond albums and make home decor pieces too and Eileen’s dies are also well suited for that. Let’s see what the designers have for us this week and wrap up the month!

Let’s kick off with a fabulous fishy (in a very good way) Folio journal created by Jenny Marples! The WOW factor is strong with this make! Apparently fellow teamie Elizabeth Robinson has a collection of gorgeous digital paper kits for sale and Jenny used one called ‘A Little Fishy‘ for her journal. You MUST visit Jenny’s blog to see allllllll the inside photos. Prepare to be amazed.

Seriously, how did I miss that Elizabeth has designed these wonderful digital kits?????

Designer Madeline Arendt created a useful little travel journal to keep in the car. You can keep track of travel info, receipts etc. in a stylish way. Madeline used the Pocket Notebook Die to make it fit perfectly in the glove box but any of Eileen’s journal dies can easily used to make your own road trip journal. Love it! The map on the cover is perfect. See all the details on Madeline’s blog.

For added inspiration, here are some throw-back saving travel memories projects:

Last summer, Lisa Hoel created two tag journals to document her family’s camping trips. She housed each journal in holders made using Eileen’s Camper and Truck Dies. What a fun idea! Pay her blog a visit to see inside the journals and for the tutorials.

Jennie Atkinson also has a fun project to share from last summer. She used Eileen’s Treasure Box Die and created a vintage feeling shadow box to commemorate her childhood visits to the seaside. There are so many wonderful details included! You can get a closer look in her blog post.

Nature Journals Made with Eileen Hull’s Sizzix Dies

Hello, we are back with more nature journals made using Eileen’s ever versatile Sizzix Dies. In addition, the Teams were challenged to use dies that aren’t normally thought of as “journal” dies. They have been getting really creative! Let’s take a look at what we have to inspire you this week…

Julia Aston used the Gift Card Folder Die to make a holder for a diminutive nature junk journal. What a clever idea! The die is made for holding gift cards but I think it’s also perfect to hold a mini book. Julia also used some of Eileen’s new rubber stamps (Vintage Damask Stamp) in the decoration of the box. Check out her blog for all the how-to and detail photos.

Designer Lisa Hoel is back with Part 2 of her Treasure Box nature journal ensemble. (See Part 1 here.) Last week she showed how the box was constructed and this week we get a look at the mini journal that fits into the lid. She used #allthestamps for the interior pages! See all the details in her blog post.

Maggi Harding used the Folio Journal Die for her project. “But wait,” you say, “that’s an ‘official’ journal die.” But I say that Maggi has a clever die hack to share with you on how to make it into a tag journal. Stay tuned for her Facebook Live! In the meantime, head on over to her blog to peruse all the lovely detail photos of the insides.

Visit next week to see more nature journals inspiration!
