City Skating Scene

I hope you're having a great day! I've been keeping busy trying to get it all done. Lately there just aren't enough hours in a day. Today I'm playing along with Cut It Up Challenge where it's Pretty In Pink - that means PINK should be the primary color in your design.

I love a non traditional color scheme card so pink is no problem for this holiday card made with Spellbinders City Skating Scene. The dies are meant to work with Simon Hurley's Snow Globe die set, but I don't have that set and thought it was nice enough that I just didn't need the globe.

The die set includes just about everything you see.. the buildings, starts, skaters. I added the circle for the moon and of course that color block background.

The star is the topper for the tree. I cut extra to make a starry sky and added a sprinkle of gems for Christmas Magic!

Any day I finish a holiday card is a good day! I hope life is good and you find some time to make!

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'm linking up to Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge where it's always Halloween!

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