Favorite felt ornament yet

This little snowflake combines two different dies from Poshta Designs- the spring garden and fancy flakes dies. I like how this one came out.

Stitching on felt

In January 2025 I placed my first order with Poshta design for dies and felt. My first purchase was a kit which (made sense because I had nothing to begin with)- however, it was for Christmas bells. As the year progressed, I got less and less interested in the bells. I never really did much with the felt and dies that I had- but I didn't lose interest. I kept watching social media occasionally buying felt, etc. I researched a lot because I love to research. I bought a few used stitching dies. Now, after getting off to a slow start. I am back to actually using some of that felt!

Craft club!

This year I have been so lucky to teach craft club on Tuesdays after school. I have three regular girls who come, and it is a joy to plan projects that they can achieve and watch them create! Here are a couple of their creations.

Cards by year

I am in the Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen!

This is so exciting and such an honor!

I have loved splitcoast's website for so many years! However, this means that I cannot show my cards until after my six months is over. luckily I have a couple of cards I made for Craft Roulette which I can post.

Something different

I really should stop watching YouTube because I find out about new crafts that I just need to try. And for new crafts, you're going to need some new supplies! When I heard about die cutting felt, I just had to try it. I already had a die cutter so I only needed to buy felt and the stitching dies. Anyway, this is a nice little craft that you can do on the couch or take on the go. The owl is from a Nicole Spohr spellbinders die. The bell is from Poshta Design. The bear is not a stitching die, but a papercrafting die. It is by Trinity Stamps. I tried to stitch it to paper in order to make a gift tag, but it didn't work real. The felt and paper seemed to be off size wise.

Old faithful template

For Craft Roulette this week the parameters were: thank you card, 1950s colors, toast or bread and brown paper. Toast or bread was the difficult parameter. I have one small stamp of toasting glasses, but I do not have anything for toast or bread. So, I thought of money being "bread" and I used my old faithful plastic money holder template. Years ago I used that template to make Christmas cash envelopes for my neighbor to give to her grandkids. When I heard that it has to include Brown, my mind went to pink for 1950s colors. My aunt used to have a 1950s pink kitchen.
