March in Miniature Inspiration with Eileen Hull!

12 Mar

The theme for this month is “March in Miniature” – what fun! Our designers are interpreting it in various ways and thinking outside (or inside) of the box. Let’s check out this week’s inspiration…

Jenny Atkinson made a wee little miniature file folder journal. Check out her video below to see how she made it and all the (literally!) little details. Die Set used: Envelope, Folder & Flowers


Madeline Arendt has busy making mini banners! Here’s a peek at her work in progress. I spy the Tunnel Arches Die Set! Great ideas for spring decor…

Miniature flashback…

Flashback! (Way, way back lol.) Lisa Hoel is sharing a mini fairy house made using Eileen’s Candy Drawer (the Stacking Drawer Die would work great too.) Inside there is a little surprise. Details here.


Get crafting with Eileen and others at BellaCon!

BellaCon 2026 is coming! It’s a LIVE virtual crafting event bringing creative instructors together for four full days of inspiration and hands-on learning. Craft away with Eileen and other talented instructors.

BellaCon 2026 features 24+ LIVE workshops, creative tips and techniques, giveaways, and interactive sessions you can enjoy from the comfort of home. Every registered attendee receives access to all of the workshops, not just a single class.

One of the highlights of the event is the LIVE Pajama Party, where many of the instructors will be together in one location, coming to you live with mini workshops, prizes, surprises, and a chance to win giveaways from our generous sponsors.


If you love crafting, learning new ideas, and connecting with creative people, I would love for you to join me.

Here’s my affiliate registration link with all the event details. If you use this link, I will receive a commission (at no cost to you!) which helps cover my travel expenses to the event. Thanks so much.

January Card Bonanza – More Greeting Card Inspiration

14 Jan

The Team this month are kicking off the year with a Card Bonanza! We always need a card or two through the year so check out our Creative Team’s inspiration through the month for birthday and other occasion cards.

This is such a great idea from Jennie Atkinson! She took a single card design and made it in four different versions. Check out her video below:


Maggi Harding has been busy too and has three different cool cards to share. You can get a closer look in her post!  (Lacy Leaves embossing folder, Tunnel Arches, Windowsill Vase & Flowers, Field Notes & Specimen Card)

Cool tri-fold design!

News from Eileen Hull…

Hi and Happy New Year to all! It has been a busy month already! We returned from our trip to Texas to visit our son and his family – so nice to catch up, see where they live and be part of their lives for a few days. We got back Saturday and then Monday I went in for my D & C. Thankfully it went well – today I feel fine and am back to normal activities 🙂 

The next two months have lots going on. I just want you all to know I am allowing myself to take a break and I will not be doing two lives a week. Next week I will be up visiting Mom. At the end of January, I will be in Puerto Rico and then leaving on a cruise till February 11. Please sign up for notifications on YouTube  (click the bell) so that you will be notified when I do go live, follow me on Facebook and Instagram or watch here in the newsletter.

Join me and fellow YouTubers on the Cara Brandon Refresh Collaboration! We will be taking a look at our spaces as the New Year begins. Each artist will be sharing a look at their studio – clearing out and making it more efficient to work in. Each week follows a different theme; join us and follow along at home! Episodes are recorded so you can binge watch and clean along with us 🙂 Follow along and share your progress using: #craftspacerefresh2026


My biggest problem area is my desk because it has my computer where I film but also need space to work so it always gets cluttered up with supplies and just stuff! I will be sharing the area where I work and how it is laid out to make it workable and more efficient for me. 

The ETSY SHOP is open if you need anything 🙂 Debbie is on the job!

There are some exciting changes going on which will take a little time to put in place – please be patient. I think you are going to love them ❤️

Workshop with Eileen:

Tired of the snow? Come on down and join us in Puerto Rico!

Warm Thanksgiving Wishes and a Die Cut Holiday Village series

25 Nov

COUNTING MY BLESSINGS…

Hi friends – we are celebrating Thanksgiving this week in the US so Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!  It’s a good time of year for all of us to give thanks for our crafting community! We are so lucky to have a place to gather and celebrate our common interest  – the love of creating. Thankful for my talented team for sharing their inspirational art with us; I am so grateful for each of you and look forward to more fun in 2026! 

NO LIVE THURSDAY

I am cooking the turkey this year and am having family over so I will not be going live on Thursday as usual. But you never know – I may be popping in at some time over the weekend. 🙂 Make sure you have signed up to be notified when I go live so you don’t miss anything!

UNICORN DIES

You may have noticed I have been listing some of my retired dies in my Etsy shop – many are hard to find and listed on eBay at outrageous prices! These dies are evergreen – they will not go out of style. Create something unique by combining pieces from different dies. Want to see this in action? Watch my livestreams and follow along with my new series called “Building a Die-Cut Holiday Village”.

On Tuesday I will be getting on the glitz and creating some putz houses using the Notebook, Tunnel Arches and more! Watch by clicking on the graphic below. This will take you to youTube. Facebook has been a challenge lately and dropped a couple videos mid-stream so YouTube might be the better option. And don’t forget to like and subscribe 🙂 Also if you click Notify Me, you will get an alert whenever I go live. 

Holiday Village Live!

Are you following the new series called Build a Die-Cut Holiday Village? I love the idea of using the ScoreBoards dies as bases because they are sturdy and will last from year to year. Join me today on the live to get started on this. Don’t worry if you miss one. They will (as always) be available on YouTube.

Inspiration from the Creative Team…

For November, Eileen’s Creative Team is mixing and matching the Home Sweet Home Collection with past products to create any sort of Christmas themed projects – cards, ornaments, decorations or whatever! The inspiration has been awesome!

Pam Bray created a wonderful Christmas Wishes tunnel card. I love Santa peeking through the front window! She used the Tunnel Arches, Windowsill Vase & Flowers and the Home Sweet Home die sets. Check out the details here.


Madeline Arendt has gathered over a dozen different projects, past and present, to inspire you. Here are just two of them – made using the Geometric Box Die and the Wreath & Snowflake Thinlits Die Set and honeycomb ornaments made with the 3-D Ornament Box Die. Head to her post to see the rest!


Lisa Hoel made a passel of cute little gift tags using the Tunnel Arches and Home Sweet Home Die Sets. Love all those little animals! You can find more details here.


Enabler alert!


Eileen added the MEGA Christmas/Holiday Napkin Package to the shop. This is a super huge napkin collection to the shop of 27 different sizes and designs! She packaged it this way so that there is something for everyone. There are lots of winter and nature designs in here, as well as specific holiday ones. All work great for the napkin decoupage technique – she loves the soft effect.

Fall & Halloween Projects Galore with Eileen Hull

21 Oct

For October, Eileen’s Creative Team is using her new Home Sweet Home Collection to make Fall & Halloween projects! Eileen also has a fun Halloween project to make with you during her live today. Scroll on for all the details.

From Eileen Hull…

Happy Fall everyone! It’s getting crisp outside and i have had so much fun working with LEAVES! For a look at what I’ve been making, WATCH THIS quick reel. I’m making some cards out of the embossed and waxed leaves and I love how they are coming out. 

It’s also candy corn time 🙂 I found some really cute beads and a new tool the other day. I wanted to try them out and make some earrings to give as thank you’s. I used the Tunnel Arches die to make an earring card – it kind of looks like a tomb shape. Happily, the Library Card die is the perfect size to tuck the earring card in. I even embossed the card pocket – love how these came out! I hope you will join me in making these tonight! Click on the graphic to take you to the video. 


When I was in Florence, I found a beautiful paper store called Il Papiro. They had lots of marbled products – books, cards, papers, keychains, bookmarks and folders. I know that the papers were made there because they had a marbling bath set up right in the middle of the store! I bought some loose papers and am going to make a handbound Tiny Book on Thursday’s show. Tiny Books are out of stock, but the same technique can be used with any journal die that you have. If you don’t have any book dies, you can check out my Etsy store 🙂


Fall & Halloween project inspiration from the Creative Team:

Brilliant! Pam used the Tunnel Arches and Windowsill Vase & Flowers die sets to make these darling Halloween treat bags. As she points out in her post, this idea can be easily adapted to any holiday or theme. 



Perfect for anytime of the year, Tonya Trantham made this beautiful gift card holder using the Tunnel Arches and Windowsill Vase & Flowers sets. Check out her post for the how-to!

Class update:

Attention California Friends!

The classes in California at Frank Garcia Studio that were scheduled for this coming weekend have been cancelled. 🙁 Hopefully we can re-schedule for the spring. So sorry if you had signed up – stay tuned for more info as spring approaches. 


Eileen’s Etsy Shop is open…

Each of the products from the new release have been listed individually. Find them here: Lacy Leaves, Tunnel Arches, Home Sweet Home and Windowsill Vase and Flowers!

Eileen is back and More Sizzix Fall inspiration…

16 Oct

We have more fall inspiration from the Creative Team and Eileen is back from her trip and ready to get back to craftiness! Here’s what she has to report:

Hi all – I am back from an amazing anniversary cruise to Greece and Italy! We went with good friends and it was so nice to travel together and share some unique adventures including a volcanic eruption, an Italian wedding and a torturous hike up a cliff with 150 donkeys.

In Salerno, we found a cool leather store called Bosso – this is a pic of me and Alberto, the owner. We had a nice chat and I bought a purse for me and wallet for Hayward.


I have a little cold but the laundry is done and I am ready to get back in my studio and create! 

Join me for a quick trip recap, a look at some of the souvenirs I brought back and a fun idea for creating a Lacy Leaves Banner using the new Lacy Leaves A-5 embossing folder and Tunnel Arches.


On Thursday, I want to re-create my Santorini memories – such a beautiful place. The houses were white and everything else seemed to be blue – the sky, ocean, Greek flag, pottery, art and even clothing – so fresh and crisp! I decided to make a shadowbox using my Shadowbox #2, Shadowbox Elements and Tunnel Arches dies. I’m going to make one for each of the couples we traveled with and give for Christmas. 


Fall Inspiration – Projects from the Creative Team!

This month her Creative Team is using Eileen’s new Home Sweet Home Collection from Sizzix to make projects with a Fall/Halloween themed twist!

Maggi Harding created this cool Halloween tag decoration. She used the Tunnel Arches and Windowsill Vase & Flowers die sets plus the Lacy Leaves embossing folder. Check out more details in her post!


Jennie Atkinson made this beautiful autumn mini album using the Tunnel Arches set for the base and also the Windowsill Vase & Flowers set. I spy some Lacy Leaves peeking through the cover too! Watch the video below for a look at the lovely insides and a tutorial.


On the road again…

Attention California Friends!

I am headed out on October 25-26 to teach at the gorgeous Frank Garcia Studio in Upland, CA (located about an hour west of LA). I’ll be teaching two classes. I would love to see you and Frank’s store is definitely worth a trip – I think it is the most beautiful store I have ever been in. (REGISTER HERE)


Eileen’s Etsy Shop is open…

Each of the products from the new release have been listed individually. Find them here: Lacy Leaves, Tunnel Arches, Home Sweet Home and Windowsill Vase and Flowers!
