Memory Box Stitchable Stocking and Mitten…

Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone!  Let the Christmas/Winter festivities begin!  I hope to get our tree out soon!

Today I stitched up these NEW dies from Memory Box, keeping them simple!

They come with flower dies also but I just used the holly from the stocking set on both.

I’ve made some stockings in  the past and mittens.

This post,  I’ll just call the mitten a candy cane mitten! Fancy stitching!

This post, I left the stocking open at the top and added a candy cane, french knots on the berries, kinda retro!

So fun and such a sweet size (4 x 3 ish)…perfect on the tree or that extra special package for a special person!  I think my photos make them look larger than they are IRL.

I used Taylored Expressions felt, I’ll link you up below!

thank you so much for stopping by!  Happy belated Thanksgiving and merry making in the days ahead!

Sales, Sales everywhere! lol

Spellbinders Felt Snowman Star Ornament…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hello everyone!  First I wanted to let you know about this sale!  I don’t know about you but I like these early sales because Thanksgiving day and weekend are so busy!  It’s hard to get this kind of shopping to fit in with all the other activities!

Sharing my super cute Felt Snowman Star Ornament with you today!   So festive and fun!  What a fun addition to my tree or it might end up being a gift to a friend!

It’s even cute on the back!

I die cut everything…pretty much following the designer Nicole’s video HERE.  I did a few things different.  I just left it sewn with a running stitch and didn’t go back and fill in the spaces.

I sewed his eyes on but in handling those pieces the felt starts to shred so I can see why she just did a knot for the eyes on hers.   I like the bigger eyes though….

I stitched on his nose and cheeks.

I only used hot glue to adhere the scarf.  I didn’t stitch clear through front to back.

He’s definitely got personality!  I love it!   I hope you do too!   I have two more from this collection to make up plus a mitten from Memory Box!  Fun!

So thankful for this craft!  One of my dearest friends has passed away.  We shared 30 years of  kindred spirit papercrafting! I will miss you so much Jan! We were always texting each other, did you see this?  did you see that?  lol  Smiling through the tears.

Thank you for stopping by today and email if you have any questions!

Here’s what I used to make this snowman…

Taylored Expressions NEW dies, felt and stitching!

Hello everyone!  Posting two cards using NEW for April TE products and one using last month’s NEW products.  EEK, time can sure get away from a gal!

I love stitching with Taylored Expressions felt! Wonderful colors and holds up beautifully.  I stitched all this without any die cut holes, except for the four on the button. So fun just to do a running stitch around the petals and leaves and backstitch down the centers of the leaves and flower scallop center.

Love the pinks against the white embossed Floral Vine background.  TE Lollipop card-stock for the die cut Hello frame.

Pam Sparks Sky High Airplane
 
And…we’re off!  I just love this card! The pilot is so cute with the scarf blowing out behind.  So cute…so fun!  This could easy be a congrats card for graduation, retirement or an encouragement card.
 
I inked the background with a mini ink blending tool and Salty Ocean Distress ink.  Stamped the sentiment with the MISTI and Versafine Onyx Black ink. Die cut the Flying High die in card-stocks and glued it together.

Pam Sparks Elephant Parade 2
 
Time for a parade!  An elephant parade! This die paired with TE’s baby papers and grass die made for a quick and easy ‘welcome baby’ card!  I die cut the elephants 3 times and glued them together…you sure wouldn’t have to, I just like that chipboard thickness ‘look’.

So cute…elephants are all the rage these days!

Memory Box Plush Heart Pocket in wool felt…

Pam Sparks Plush Heart Pocket White felt

I just couldn’t resist hanging this on a vase of winterish branches. One of my favorite things about Winter is the holly and the ivy!  : )  And that includes pine! lol

For this Memory Box Plush Heart Pocket I used Taylored Expressions wool felt again… love this felt and her gorgeous color choices.

Backstitching again (by hand)…I layered up the hearts and leaves for fun…not a fancy heart pocket but it’s classy lookin’ and works for Valentines and Christmas! Gotta love that! A cute pocket for a little note or gift card too!

I glued the heart and leaves on with Tombow mono multi glue (green lids).

Hand stitching in felt and card-stock is so easy when the die cuts the holes. Almost feels like cheating but I love it! lol

Time to get back to card making!  Thanks for stopping by again!  I love all your comments!  Makes me happy!
