Spellbinders Lolli & Grace Festive Felt Collection…

Pam Sparks6 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…

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!

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!

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!
