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.

Double Z fold, updated room pic

Of course, I made a Z fold card for Craft Roulette.

On the show, Mary showed us how to make a double Z fold. I had never done that before. I had also never used these little Mandela stamps from spellbinders so to first I thought was good. It's not a typical card for me. Also posting a quick update on my room. I cleaned my room and I actually added a second desk, which is really helpful. It's not shown in the picture though. Why didn't I think of that before?
