Here is what Eileen has to say about her new collection:
The May 2026 release from Sizzix designer Eileen Hull is filled with vintage charm, florals, and creative possibilities for makers of all kinds. This exciting collection features seven new products, including the return of the beloved Garden Gate Album die by popular demand, five new Thinlits die sets, and a beautiful new embossing folder inspired by watercolor florals. Designed for journaling, cardmaking, mixed media, and dimensional projects, the collection blends Eileen’s signature style of storytelling, texture, and interactive design with endless opportunities for customization and creativity.

My Projects!

I had so much fun creating with this new collection…
I used the Stitched Hearts and Nora Numbers Die Sets to create these cute little felt hearts to use as filler for this mason jar.



Number two is a card made using the new Watercolour Bouquet embossing folder, plus Stitched Hearts and Page Edges Die Sets.

Using the Ephemera Pocket & Tags Die Set, I created a little gift package to house a pair of earrings. (Embellished using the 
Stitched Hearts and Page Edges Die Sets.)



The Scoreboards Garden Gate Album Die is a classic that is being re-released! I made this little album with blank pages inside and a removable signature.

Finally, I also used the Garden Gate Album Die to make this card that is perfect to send to a gardening friend.

Colorful Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on Chou & Flowers! I created a colorful card that will hopefully brighten someone's day.


Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps


The base layer is a gel print. Over that I layered a Quirky Post die cut that I stenciled using the Kaleidoscope stencil and Autumn Leaves Lindy's spray. The pre-printed Chou & Flowers Vibrations Artist die cuts were easy to add and look so cute!

Anything Goes! PaperArtsy Mixed Media Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes! My sewing machine is out so I thought I'd make a mixed media card with a scrappy fabric base.


Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps


First I sprayed some strips of plain muslin fabric using Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist - Smoky Sapphire. When it was dry, I tore it into strips and stitched them onto the card base. I also stenciled onto the background with Parisian blue paint, then stitched on my focal image from the Lynne Perrella 71 stamp set.

Fresh Fish Card with PaperArtsy & Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on PaperArtsy! I chose to use two cool sets from designer Gwen Lafleur, EGL28 and EGL15.

Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps


First I spritzed a sheet of Dura-Lar acetate film with Lindy's Time Travel Teal spray and water and let it dry overnight. Then I cut a base layer from a blue Gel Press print and stamped on with the EGL28 stamp set. I layered cut pieces of the Dura-Lar over the background with the fussy cut fish. I used my sewing machine and a long stitch to sew it all together.

AALL & Create Wedding Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes! I decided this was a great opportunity to make my son's wedding card.


Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps


First I created a soft background using Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist - Gossamer Gold. I went light on the mist and used lots of water so it would be a subtle background. It still has plenty of glimmer though and catches the light nicely! I stamped the flowers (Petal Therapy #684) over it with waterproof ink and then added some watercolor.

"Let's Get Sewing" with Eileen Hull Sizzix Dies

The theme for this month is “Let's Get Sewing” and I am totally on board for that! I love incorporating sewing and embroidering in my Eileen projects. For this month, I made two decorative pillows that Eileen will be able to use in her new vintage trailer.

These are covers made for 12 and 8 inch pillow forms. For the larger pillow, I made a pieced quilt block strip to applique onto the base fabric.

On the 8 inch pillow, I was inspired by Madeline Arendt to make a woven heart applique using two cuts from the Tunnel Arches Die Set. I first ironed light interfacing on to the fabric pieces to give them more support and to keep the edges from fraying. Then I cut the arches shapes with the die set. After marking the lines with an erasable fabric pen, I cut the "weave" strips carefully with scissors and then interwove them together before sewing it onto my pillow cover base.

The tongues on the side were cut from felt using the Tunnel Arches Die Set. I used several of Eileen's retired flower dies to cut shapes from felt with I embroidered and stitched onto the pillow cover.
