More Miniature Inspiration & Special News from Eileen Hull

18 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. We have plenty more miniature inspiration for you this week!

Jenny Marples created these fabulous little houses using Eileen’s Shadowbox Elements Die Set. So cute! Check out her Part 1 tutorial on Instagram. Part 2 next week!


Tonya Trantham made an altered spool that showcases a wee little rabbit from the Home Sweet Home Die Set. Adorable! Check out her tutorial for all the details.


Elizabeth Robinson created a miniature shelf using the bookplate die cuts from the Handbound Journal Die. What?! That is so brilliant! She stocked the shelves with mini dishes and sweets. She is sharing a tutorial in the Fan Club so join us there if you’re not already a member.


News from Eileen…

Hi friends – I hope you are enjoying the extra sunlight now that Daylight Savings has kicked in! I am still dealing with medical stuff and the appointments are messing with my schedule! Thanks for your patience… 

Today I have an extra special announcement to share with you on the live! Because you are such a talented and diverse group, I have come up with a plan that will allow us to see what some of you are doing in more detail – are you intrigued? Join me at 4:00 TODAY to hear more. 


Next week, Margaret and I will be back together with a “One Die, Two Ways” episode so hope you will come and craft along with us on Tuesday!

I’m happy to say I finished several of the Napkin Decoupaged Tiny Books that I made on the LIVE last week while I was up in NY. I gave one to Jill, Mom’s caregiver, and she loved it 🙂 They are so cute and fun to make – if you missed it you can watch here. Find the Spring/Easter napkins HERE.

I received a huge box of fabric samples from one of my Etsy customers – how nice was that? Her name is Robyn Cubbage and she makes custom memory quilts from t-shirts, uniforms and men’s neckties. Robyn’s husband is a sales rep for Moda Fabrics and she sent me salesman samples to use in my projects – wait till you see them! If you place an Etsy order, I will include some fabric in your order!

You know how excited I am to be part of the BellaCon retreat next week? It’s not too late to register! 

Well, it has been expanded and another day has been added to this already packed event! It’s called Bella Jewelry Con. One of the hosts is none other than my friend Julianna of JEWELLOOM! I will be doing a segment on Journal Jewelry so hope you can join us for this event! 


Jewels developed the Eileen Hull loom that can used to create book bindings, bracelets, bookmarks and weavings. For more info, watch the intro video here…

Last week’s Live:

Did you catch my video last week? I have to admit I LOVE this project made with the Notebook die! Some of the great suggestions for ways to use it came from the live viewers: first aid kit, sewing box for the car, card game box, ephemera pieces, small notecards, gift tags, small scenes, flash cards, treat box for small chocolate bars, photos, ATC’s to name a few! Thanks everyone for the great ideas! If you missed it you can watch here. Here’s how the finished card box came out – everything you need for a card game in this cute little box!

Grafix Arts & Eileen Hull Project Inspiration

20 Feb

For February, Eileen Hull’s Creative Team is doing an exciting collaboration with the company Grafix Arts! We’ve been using an assortment of their speciality plastic films and sheets in our Journal projects and the inspiration has been fabulous. Grafix products are widely available in the USA, UK and Europe so we hope you will get some ideas as to how these products can be used.


Sue Eldred used the Journal Die to make a journal inspired by her granddaughter’s fashion sense. She makes a bold statement with her combo of Grafix and Eileen Hull products. More details here.

So cute!


Jenny Marples shows us how to use Grafix Dura-Lar to create pockets and other embellishments for your projects. I agree with her that this a perfect option when you don’t want to completely cover your collage background. Find her video here on Instagram.


Tonya Trantham is here for Part 1 of her Grafix project. She used the Grungy Vibe by Cat Karr pack of Dura-Lar Prints for her bright and creative journal. You can find all the details for creating the cover in her post. Can’t wait for Part 2!


News from Eileen…

Hi everyone! I’m back from vacation and babysitting the little ones for a few days. Laundry is done and I am ready for a craft session! I did some watercoloring on the trip – am I weird? Do you pack up craft supplies to bring on vacation like me? I always bring too many but I need options! 🙂

We had such an amazing time in Puerto Rico – Teresita and Joe took us all around the island and we got to stay in their gorgeous apartment right downtown. Teresita of Scrapbook Y Mas has some very talented friends because every project came out fantastic! We loved our visit to Puerto Rico and the islands we visited on the cruise. 


Craft with Eileen Hull at BellaCon!

This week’s live:

Join me to make a really cool card box using the Notebook die! If you don’t have that die, you can use the techniques learned with other dies you may have. This easy die cutting project is perfect for gifting, organizing card decks, or adding a creative handmade touch to game night. If you love paper crafting, mixed media, and thinking outside the box with your Sizzix dies, this project is for you. I’ll walk you through the steps to create a sturdy playing card holder using the Notebook die and share tips for assembly, decorating, and customizing your card deck box.

Creative Collaboration with Grafix & Eileen Hull Products

11 Feb

Eileen is not quite back from her Caribbean vacation but we have plenty to share with you this week!

For February, we are doing a creative collaboration with the company Grafix Arts and the Creative Team has been using an assortment of their speciality plastic films and sheets in our Journal projects for this month. Grafix products are widely available in the USA, UK and Europe so we hope you will gain some inspiration as to how these products can be used.

Jennie Atkinson used the Journal Die to create an ephemera keeper full of pockets and pouches to hold all the little ephemera bits. She found that the Grafix Dura-Lar was sturdy and she could easily sew it to form the pockets. Check out her video tutorial. She’ll share a tutorial for the cover later in the month!


Maggi Harding created this fun and colorful journal packed full of preprinted Grafix Dura-Lar overlays that perfectly highlight the patterned paper details. See Maggi’s video below for a closer look!
