Ever Eden Joy and Love

Hello,

This card took on many changes while making it. I had a design in mind but the card turned out totally different. Does that ever happen to you? Sometimes I think I overthink a design. Too many ideas floating around in my brain. 

Today's card uses the Ever Eden Specialty DSP. I love the gold elements in the paper. The image is from the Mistletoe Season stamp set. 

I coloured the bow with a gold gel pen. I didn't care for the way it looked so I coloured over it with a Bumble Bee Stampin' Write marker and added some Wink of Stella for some shine.

I've just about finished my Christmas cards. Now on to shopping. Yikes, only 36 days until Christmas!!!

Until next time....

Felt Flowers

 Hello,

Did you know many of the Stampin Up dies will cut thin felt or fabric? For this project I used the Poinsettia Petals dies to cut felt which I made into brooches for Christmas. I adhered the petals with a hot glue gun. Thank goodness for my trusty silicone craft sheet. When I use my glue gun, glue tends to get everywhere.🤣

Any 3D project would be fun to make with the array of dies from Stampin UP. 

Here are some ideas:

Additions to place cards for any dinner party.

Pin the penguin (Penguin Builder Punch- I have not tested punches) on the iceberg for children's parties. Or possibly stamp a playful image with Stazon ink onto some felt and fussy cut.

Felt ornament decorations (Stitched Snowflake Dies, Christmas Pinecone Dies, Gingerbread Dies) Embellish with beads, gems or jewels.

Appliques on cushions. 

Wreaths (Intricate Leaves Dies, Poinsettia Petals Dies, Butterfly Brilliance Dies)

Give it a whirl.

Until nest time....
