Home Sweet Home – Eileen Hull's New Sizzix Collection

Hello Eileen Hull fans! Wait until you get a close look at this new collection during the Release Party! It is so much fun and you will be amazed at all the projects made by the Creative Team.

Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:

This collection was inspired by nature and the cozy feeling of home. It was designed to coordinate with the Handbound Journal (sold separately) to create a tunnel book, but each die set also stands beautifully on its own and can be used in so many creative ways!

Lacy Leaves Embossing Folder
A bold, intricate lacy pattern measuring 6” x 8 ½”—perfectly sized for journal covers and cards. This design was inspired by an actual piece of lace from my collection that reminded me of leaves. I love the mix of nature and lace! Whether you emboss or deboss the pattern, the result is simply beautiful.

Home Sweet Home Die Set
This 24-piece set includes layered forest animals (deer, fox, bunny, squirrel, and butterflies), pine trees, grassy hills, greenery, clouds, sun, moon, and a cozy house. The sweet deer alone makes this set worth it! Perfect for holiday projects, baby themes, everyday cards, journals, and tags.

Windowsill Flowers & Vase
A 13-die set designed to coordinate with the Tunnel Arches. The window die matches the largest arch, letting you build a 3D scene that looks as though you’re peering through a window. The tiny vase and flowers (yes, I had to make them that small for scale!) are wonderful for using scraps. The little lacy piece also makes a lovely accent for junk journal pockets and cards.

Tunnel Arches
Who knew arches could be so versatile? Make a rainbow! Use the negative cuts to create graduated windows in journals, cards, and home décor, or the positive pieces as card bases and tags—nothing goes to waste! This 7-die nesting set ranges in size from 4 ½” x 3 ¼” down to teeny-tiny (so cute!). They were designed to fit perfectly inside the Handbound Journal if you’d like to try your hand at a tunnel book. Watch for upcoming tutorials on my YouTube channel!

New Eileen Hull Sizzix Collection!!

It't time!! Welcome to the release of Eileen Hull's May 2025 Collection and feast your eyes on all the inspiration!

Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:

The May Sizzix Release is here! The Handbound Journal is a ScoreBoards XL die designed to cut and score thick materials like matboard, leather, and felt. It includes built-in score lines, holes, a spine piece, and large labels—no measuring needed! At 6" x 5", you can customize the book’s thickness and choose hand or quick binding, all with a pretty scalloped edge. One of the most versatile designs yet.

The Bigz Journal Hardware Die offers latches, hinges, and pen loops, perfectly sized to coordinate with the journal, and cuts a variety of materials.

The Colour Wheel Stencil is a three-layer stencil that creates a continuous color wheel—use traditional ROYGBIV or customize your palette. Pair it with the Rainbow Wheels Die, which cuts the framework, segmented circle, and arrows for a functional color wheel.

The Swatch Card Stamp Set includes a round palette, rectangular and pie-shaped swatch cards, plus color-themed phrases perfect for cards or journals.

Join the live Release Party! You can watch on her YouTube channel or Eileen Hull Designs Facebook.

I'm sharing two projects I made (more detailed looks will be coming later in the month).

Stab binding notebook:

Color wheel junk journal:

The stencils and the dies work so well together! I can tell I'll be having lots of fun on future projects using them.

2024 June Release – New Eileen Hull Sizzix Collection

Welcome to the 2024 June Sizzix Release Party of Eileen Hull's newest collection! We are celebrating with a Live party and this Blog Hop! Eileen's designers have been hard at work creating with Eileen's great new dies and have loads of inspiration for you.

Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:

Introducing my June Sizzix release! This collection combines three classic Eileen Hull Sizzix Scoreboards dies and two new designs- a four layer stencil and coordinating Thinlits that cuts a portion of the stencil! The three Scoreboards dies are the Treasure Box, Stacking Drawer and Notebook. The fun thing about this set is that they work together but also stand alone.

The Treasure Box measures 3 1/4” x 5 1/4” x 4” and holds index cards, two stacks of ATC’s, a whole row of journaling cards and anything else you care to add.

The Stacking Drawer fits a set of three drawers perfectly inside the Treasure Box to create a great storage solution for desk supplies, hair accessories, small collections, jewelry and much more. It also makes a great little gift box for something special! 

The Notebook is a favorite because of how quick and easy it is to create. One pass through the Big Shot and you have a book cover! It measures 5” x 3 1/2” x 3/4”. Cover with paper, fabric, metal or cut from leather. So many ways to use this.

The Watercolour Florals & Lattice Stencil Set is based on a watercolor I did. There are three stencil layers to give dimension and then a fourth layer versatile lattice design that can also be used to create a plaid pattern!

Painterly Blooms & Background is a die set that perfectly die cuts the flowers you have just stenciled so no fussy cutting needed plus there are extra flower shapes so you can layer them for dimensional florals.

Don't miss the live release party!

We hope you will watch our release party to see lots of samples and alternate ideas for ways to use these dies and stencils! There will be a GIVEAWAY! Find the die bundles here in Eileen’s Etsy shop! The Release Party will be held on Tuesday, June 4th at noon Eastern on Eileen’s YouTube, Facebook and Instagram channels. The Hop will be starting on Eileen Hull's blog.

The new dies and stencils:

I'm sharing a Notebook project I made incorporating the new Stencil Set and Painterly Blooms Die Set. (Tutorial later in the month!)

The stencils and the dies work so well together! I can tell I'll be having lots of fun on future projects using them.

Be sure to head on over to Eileen Hull's blog to find the list of Hop links so you can see all the inspiration! Don't miss the Live show!

Eileen Hull 2023 Sizzix Chapter 3 Release Party!

 

Welcome to the Sizzix 2023 Chapter 3 Release Party of Eileen Hull's newest die collection! We are celebrating with a Live party and this Blog Hop. Eileen's Teams have been hard at work creating with Eileen's new products and have quite a lineup of inspiration for you. Here is what Eileen has to say,
The Bigz Plus* Slotted Treat Box Die measures 6 1/2” x 5” x 3 1/2” and can hold so many things – a set of cards, journals, doll clothes, ephemera storage or you can even use it as a gift box! This is a Scoreboards die which is specially designed to cut and score thick material like matboard, chipboard, leather, felt, fabric and metal. *A 9” wide machine is required to cut this die.

The Field Notes and Specimen Card Die is a Bigz XL die that holds 5” x 7” pages or photos – a new orientation! The Specimen Card may be used to hold photos, as a journaling card or a shaker. Holes are pre-cut into the book spine which is adjustable from 1/2” to 1 1/2 in width. *XL Cutting Pads will be needed to cut the book cover.

The Envelope, Folder & Flowers Thinlits Die Set is made up of nine dies – an adorable mini envelope, file folder, set of small, medium and large hearts, and a large and small flower and leaf set. This die set will be perfect to create ephemera using your scraps!

The Keys 3D Embossing Folder is special to me. The keys all came from my Dad’s house. The names on the keys had to be removed because of possible copyright issues, but I love the idea of stamping or writing words on them. The detail on this is beautiful and I can’t wait to add Luster Wax to make the design pop!

The New Collection:

The team has been busy creating lots of samples so please make sure to visit the Blog Hop post on Eileen's blog and be watching social media to see their makes! There's a giveaway too! Comment in the Facebook and YouTube streams and tell us which is your new favorite die or folder and what you would make with it. You have until July 18th to post your comments.

Here's a look at some of the projects I made using Eileen's new dies. Tutorials will be coming up later in the month…

Using the Keys Embossing Folder and the Slotted Treat Box Die, I created a "treasure chest" for keeping those special objects in. This box is a Plus die so you need a larger machine to use it. The box is quite large and you can fit all sorts of things in it!

I made a needle book with the Field Notes & Specimens Die. It's decorated using the flowers from the new Envelope Folder & Flowers Thinlits Die Set.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.

Eileen Hull Sizzix Chapter 2 Release Party!

 

Welcome to the Sizzix 2023 Chapter 2 Release Party of Eileen Hull's newest dies. We are celebrating with a Live party and this Blog Hop! Eileen's Teams have been hard at work creating with Eileen's new products and have quite a lineup of inspiration for you. Here is what Eileen has to say,

The Card Case is a Bigz XL ScoreBoards die. This die is specially designed to cut and score thick material up to 1/16" like matboard, chipboard, leather, felt and fabric so your finished project is nice and sturdy. The finished Card Case die measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" and has an adjustable spine that goes from 1/2" to 2 1/2". This is the perfect size journal to hold your 3" x 4" journaling cards, as well as other small items like wallet photos, ATCs and ephemera. There is a swing out flap on each side where you can add pockets or small insert books- you decide what combination you want to do. Make the spine thick or thin- your choice!

The Journaling Card, Envelope & Windows Die Set has 6 pieces- an envelope, 3" x 4" Journaling Card, three window cutouts (use with envelope to remove and back with glassine like a window envelope) and a tab. The Envelope measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" and fits perfectly inside the Journal! Or use it by itself and add your favorite ephemera pieces.

The Mini-Slimline & Tickets Die design is similar to the Snail Mail die, which was very popular for creating faux postage stamps. There are four dies in the set - one is the size of a mini slimline card and one is a mat that may be placed behind the perforated piece. The other two pieces are a row of tickets and mat that goes behind that. When you fold over each perforated piece and tear it, it creates individual faux postage stamps and tickets! Die cut the piece from patterned paper for an amazing background - just add a sentiment and let the paper do the work.

The team has been busy creating lots of samples so please make sure to read Eileen's blog for the list of links and be watching social media to see their makes! There's a giveaway too! Comment in Eileen's Facebook and YouTube streams and tell us which of Eileen's other dies would work well with this collection. You have until April 10th to post your comments.

Here's a look at some of the projects I made using Eileen's new dies. Tutorials will be coming up later in the month…

First up is a Card Case & Mini-Slimline project!

I also used the Journaling Card, Envelope & Window die set to create packaging to hold my collage fodder stamps made using the Mini-Slimline die.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.

2023 – Eileen Hull's Sizzix Chapter 1 Release Party!

 

Welcome to 2023 and the Sizzix Chapter 1 Release Party of Eileen Hull's newest dies. We are celebrating with a Live party and this Blog Hop! Eileen's Teams have been hard at work creating with Eileen's new products and have quite a lineup of inspiration for you. Here is what Eileen has to say,

"Introducing the Chapter 1, 2023 Eileen Hull/Sizzix collection!

Let's start with the ScoreBoards Frame Pocket Journal – this is a Bigz Plus die so you will need a 9” cutting machine. The Journal measures 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” x 1 1/4” with an adjustable spine. What makes this die special are the additional pieces on the die, a pocket to hold ephemera, a frame and flap! These extra pieces may be used in many of my other journals or they can be used independently. The die may also be configured in a few different ways so watch the blog and Facebook live shows for ideas.

There are two Thinlits sets that coordinate with the Journal. You asked for a new alphabet – you got it – and I added numbers too! The Tile Alphanumeric is very versatile because you can use both the positive and negative shapes. Each letter is perforated which makes it easy to create and line up words.

The other Thinlits set is the Library Pocket, ATC Card and Tab Die Set – a journal essential! Use the ATC card die to knock out a bunch of Artist Trading Card bases and add the library pocket to package it up to swap. The Tab die is perfect to add to the Journal pages or on the ATC.

The last item is a 3D embossing folder called Tablecloth which was inspired by a crocheted cotton piece from my Mom. This adds beautiful texture and dimension to card backgrounds, book pages or tags!"

First I made a card using the Tile Alphanumeric for the background with embossed Tablecloth and a message pocket cut using the Library Pocket, ATC Card and Tab Die Set.

Next I dug into a journal project with the fab new ScoreBoards Frame Pocket Journal Die. I created a forest themed nature junk journal packed full of forest-y bits and pieces!

Eileen Hull's Chapter 3 Sizzix Release Party!

Woo hoo!! It's new release time and you will love Eileen Hull's latest dies from Sizzix! Hopefully you are seeing this in the morning in time to join us for Eileen's live Release Party, if not catch the replay! For now, catch this Blog Hop!

Eileen's Teams have been hard at work creating with Eileen's new products and have quite a lineup of inspiration for you. Here is what Eileen has to say,

"I am so excited to share my Chapter 3 Sizzix die collection! Each piece in the set stands alone but also coordinates with the others to make a truly versatile and valuable addition to your collection.

The ScoreBoards Skinny Mini Book Box is a really great size – it measures 6 3/4" x 4" with an adjustable built in spine from 3/8" to 2 1/4". This die may be used to create a book by die cutting two covers OR a box if you add the side pieces to the covers. If you add the box supports, it will hold mini-slimline size cards.

The Skinny Mini Elements Thinlits will cut a cool star pattern that perfectly covers the front of the Skinny Mini book or the front of a slimline card. And you can also expand the size of the design to create a whole page pattern.

I have been wanting to make a Card Caddy Die for a while... so many people are making cards these days that I figured that they would love to have the ability to make a really pretty container to hold them. I love the shape of this box and it goes together so quickly – also fun to decorate! It will hold cards up to 5 1/4" wide.

The 3D folder is called Woven Leather and it looks so realistic! Makes a great background for cards, journal pages or covers."

Now for the projects I have created using Eileen's fab new dies:

1. I used the Skinny Mini Book Box Die to create a gift box full of postcards. (Tutorial to come!) The sky was made using cut up pieces of gel prints I had embossed using the Woven Leather 3-D folder.

2. I turned the Card Caddy into a journal! The cover inset was embossed with the Woven Leather 3-D Folder.

3. Cards featuring the Skinny Mini Elements Thinlits die…

4. I had an extra "front" from making the Skinny Mini postcard box so I turned it into a card!
