Spellbinders Lolli & Grace Festive Santa Felt Ornament…

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.

poppystamps Nordic Layered Ornament Metallic Card…

Pam Sparks3 Comments

Hi everyone! My card fits in with the shiny brights category but it’s not old! lol

It seems like I make a metallic and black glossy card every Christmas season.  I should make time to go back and link them!

This is just basic die cutting and gluing.

I love this new Little Bow and String die used with the new Nordic Layered Ornament.

Framed with the poppystamps Double Stitch Rectangle Frames largest die.

Merry and Bright is from the new set of Greeting Tabs  ST017.

I finished the inside but you know what I’m going to say! ugh.  Hurrying and forgot to take a picture!  It’s a white cardbase and all I did was stamp the sentiment ‘may the season bring you Peace, Love, Joy from the Memory Box Be Merry clear stamp set.

I stamped it in the misti and I figured out that these stamps stamp the first time if I have a lightweight cardstock shim in the misti and then stamp!  YAY!  So much of stamping is like trying a new sewing machine!  Every stamp set is different!

I ended with three of the gold fairy jewels from the Christmas set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’m feeling the countdown crunch here!  Nothing is in the mail yet…eek!  I hope everyone else is ahead so mine will go quickly when I do get stuff mailed!  A gal can dream!  lol

Happy making and I’ll talk to you again soon!

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!

Spellbinders Santa’s Festive Circle Crew and Festive Ornaments Card…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone!  Cute Christmas Santa coming your way!  I fell in love with this cute set…still more to make with the sets in the collection!

I loved the card Spellbinders posted so much I copied it!  Added some holly, a poinsettia, jingle bells and changed the sentiment.

I loved the idea of bringing in the jingle bell concept in the sentiment too.  So I used the Jingle All the Way from the ‘Make it Merry Sentiments’ banner set… Love it!

A little hot foiling around the card panel, some inking with Peacock Feathers Distress ink and splatters.

I mounted the ornaments with a little of my favorite thin mounting tape through the center is all so I could stick greenery in easy.

Turned out fun!  I love dies and especially this time of year!  I used the pine branches from a couple sets,  I’ll link everything below. (The set with the poinsettia is no more so I’ll link up another set that I think would work too)  I used Spellbinder sets I already had to embellish the ornament shapes.  Check your stash!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Holler if you have any questions!  This is an A2 size card.

Here’s links to what I used to make this cute Santa!  I should say, it all went together easy!

Spellbinders Dancin’ Christmas Cute…

Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone!  This cutie Dancin’ Figgy Pudding made up so cute as an ornament or it could be a gift tag too!  The legs swing on their own and it’s so cute!  I love it so much!

It’s real straight forward.  Die cut the pieces, glue and boom, you’re done.  The pieces are easy sizes to work with.  Even the berries are finger manageable!

I did a little Gathered Twigs Distress inking with the foam mini blending tool and a little white pen here and there.

It is nice to have a pick up tool for the eyes and cheeks.

I’ve never eaten figgy pudding but it’s something I should look up!  I’m even more curious now!

I made up the Dancin’ Penguin as an ornament too!  One of our grandsons loves penguins so I made one for him and one for me! lol

He’s actually a Skating  penguin!  So cute and his skates move too!  Not quite as easily as the legs on the pudding though.

Below is the scarf before I thought to add white with a Posca pen.

Super cute and again so easy to put together.  I finished the back so if it twirls on the tree, it’ll still look cute!

I still have the Gingerbread and Mouse to make.  The cuteness factor from Spellbinders makes me happy!

Thank you for clicking over to see these characters!  I hope they make you smile too!
