Vintage Santa Felt

Thanks for stopping by! I've rediscovered sewing recently and am excited to share a sweet ornament I made with the Spellbinders Vintage Santa! This one really came together quick. The hardest part was deciding on the colors and cutting out the pieces.

You use your die cut machine to cut felt, paper, faux leather or other flat material and then stitch as you like. The die even cuts the stitch holes to help you have perfectly even stitches and stay inside the lines. You should use a good quality (heavy) felt when you use the dies because the felt tears easily along the edges where the pierced stitch holes are.

I cheated a little bit to make it even easier and here's how.. I used glue to hold the buttons in place before adding the stitching. I glued on the eyebrows, nose and google eyes. The mustache is glued in place after the stitching was added to the felt piece.

I used felt from the Felt Pod, and DMC floss three strands in colors that coordinated with the felt colors.
I hot glued magnets on the back of my Santa so I can dress up the fridge or the file cabinet in my craft space with my felt masterpiece!

Ghostly Greetings!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you had a great weekend. We're still adding some final touches to the Halloween decorations around the house. This year I went a little over the top and suddenly we have a Halloween tree!

My card started with the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Window die. I layered it over some Stitched Strips that I wanted to look like siding.

I cut the window openings from scraps of colored cardstock and inlayed them in the open windows.

I left the ghosts mainly un colored - just a touch of blush on the cheeks and a pop of color on their accessories. They're adhered with adhesive foam tape so they look like they're floating. I left the "boo!" sentiments hanging like word bubbles too!

The finishing touch was the Halloween Banner Greeting and a sprinkle of colorful gems.

I hope you get a chance to get out and see all the Halloween decorations or make it out to the farm stand! Hugs!

Buzzy Pup Bee

I hope you're having a great day! This one is a special make for a 4 year old bumble bee in my life who has stolen my heart.. my grand daughter! She LOVES bees! So when I saw the Spellbinders Buzz Pup Bee I had to have it!

The little dog in costume was easy to assemble. I just die cut the pieces and then adhered them. I love that I could customize the dog to any color I like. I went with brown to look like my girls dogs.

The sentiment is from a Betterpress Halloween plate set called Halloween Icons. I love the Betterpress sentiment sets. You just ink, press, and cut. Many of the sets cut multiple sentiments at one time.

I created color block background with the Scallop and Stitch Edge Ovals die set. This is a nested oval set with alternating stitched and solid oval shapes. I love the clean look of this one that lets the pup take center stage.

There are actually three of these Halloween pups. Only two are available at different shops. If you need the Pup Kin (that's the pup dressed like a pumpkin) it's only available in the Trio set exclusively at Spellbinders.
