Pretty Pink Posh Insta Hop and Giveaway!

It's a great day for a visit because Pretty Pink Posh is celebrating their latest release with a 5 day Instagram hop! Today is the 5th and final day so it's your last chance to start hopping for a chance to win a great giveaway!
The Reindeer Holder is the latest addition to the "holder" series. These dies are cut with the arms cut free to hold an item. This set comes with a little wreath, but you could have the reindeer hold just about anything, a heart, a photograph etc.
I made a scene card cutting waves of solid and glitter cardstock with the Snowy Hills Border die set. I added some trees with the Winter Trees die set that you can find at Simon Says Stamp or Scrapbook Dot Com.
The sentiment is from the Christmas Cookies stamp set that has a coordinating die set that fussy cuts the letters.
And now the part you've been waiting for!

I'm linking up to Crafty Animals Card Challenge where cute critters are always the focus of the designs there!

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!
