Spellbinders Lolli & Grace Festive Santa Felt Ornament…

October 30, 2026October 30, 2026 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! It’s a Jolly old St. Nick appearing today on the blog! Once again I had an idea and tried to make it different than the picture on the packaging! lol

I wanted to try out some darker, muted type colors. It was fun!

There’s a video tutorial on how to do everything. Anne Oliver is very good and thorough. HERE it is.

Anne recommends using Dina Wakley Media Glue but I didn’t have any and used Nuvo and it works fine too.

It was weird taking pictures…they kept looking like I didn’t line up the backer with the top santa! So I took a picture of the boots to prove that I really did line everything up correctly! lol I really love the beads on his boots…they look so old fashioned!

Spellbinders has felt kits for these ornament sets and beads and needles and everything you’d need!

Since I was doing different colors I used felt I already own from Taylored Expressions and I ordered some from Poshta Design too. I still have the snow people to make up so I’ll use more colors for them.

I found more felt when I searched Spellbinders store! Check it all out HERE. I linked some below also.

I also made a short, short video. It’s posted on Instagram if you want to see it… HERE.

Linking to some Christmas Challenges…

Spellbinders Lolli & Grace Festive Felt Collection…

October 14, 2026October 14, 2026 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Not a card today but it could be! I made a felt ornament but it would be a beautiful gift card holder also!

The Lolli & Grace Festive Stocking is my first installation of the Lolli & Grace Felt Collection NEW from Spellbinders!

Spellbinders has a video HERE that is very helpful to make this an easy felt creation! They recommend gluing the pieces to a base piece then stitching on the sequins and beads.

Spellbinders thought of everything! They have the felt, glue, needles, sequins, beads, felt and floss! I’ll link them below.

5 ½ inches long on the toe side. 4 ¼ inches wide at the toe. Good size!

I went with traditional colors but the one in the video is non-traditional colors and very retro looking to me! I’m going to have to try it in some other colors too! hohoho

A very close up photo…for some reason today’s pictures turned out really nice! WHEW! It’s so nice when that happens and I don’t waste a whole day trying to get good pictures! After you spend so much time making a card or whatever, you want it to look it’s best! lol

Happy day! I love Christmas colors!

The next installations will be a snowlady, a snowman and a santa!

One thing I did different than the video… She die cuts two of the back piece. I only cut one. I did the stitching before I glued on the back piece. I think it’s plenty sturdy but I suppose it would depend on how thick your felt is.

Email me if you have any questions. I hope you like it!

I’m linking to some challenges…

The 12 Months of Christmas #137 – anything goes Christmas

A Cut Above: October 2026 – anything goes with a die cut

Sparkles Christmas #186 – use red and green

Merry Little Christmas #70 – anything Christmas goes

Thank you for stopping by and happy making! ‘Tis the season!

Memory Box Stitchable Stocking and Mitten…

November 29, 2024 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!

Spellbinders Felt Snowman Star Ornament…

November 21, 2024November 21, 2024 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…
