Cross Stitch Pillows

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. I am back at school and this year I am trying to balance work with some more craft. I am working on managing to fit smaller projects, however I have just finished a blanket which I will share in my next post.

I have been collecting some of the Lori Holt stitch cards and I have just finished stitching two from Set O. I am not stitching in any particular order, just picking designs that are appealing to me. I like to add some lacey trim on the back to cover the stitching when you whip stitch to close. I am also using Aleenes glue now and not hot glue which works just fine!

I hope you have a great week crafting!

Take care and thanks for stopping by!

Plush Ornaments

Hello everyone! I hope that the week has been a positive one. Here are the last of my plush felt ornaments. I have a felt deer and gingerbread boy. The gingerbread boy of part of the new Spellbinders Collection. I felt proud of myself when stitching this one as I had to stitch quite a few French knots!

I have had this die in my stash and haven't had a chance to stitch it yet. It was fairly easy. Love the glue!

Here are ALL of my completed plushies. Each year, I plan to add more. I also hope to add some cross stitch pillows in there as well.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp Plush Deer, Spellbinders Felt Stitch and Create Gingerbread Boy and Girl.

Plush Ornaments

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. I am behind with my posting of completed projects as I have been busy making last minute cards as well as trying to get my last minute shopping for Christmas in. It's very busy! I have enjoyed my stitching and have made even more plush ornaments.

I have had this die for a while, so it was great to bring it out again. I have used it as gifts for others, but not for myself. I plan to display them in a basket (will share in a later post).

 

This is another die that I have had for a while. It is great to reimagine with different coloured felt!

Supplies:

Memory Box Plush Frosty Mitten, Memory Box Plush Holly Stocking

Felt Snowman and Candy Cane Ornaments

Hello everyone! I hope that your week has been a great one so far. I have been on a roll with my stitching. I have purchased some dies from Spellbinders and I am so glad to have the time to stitch them. So far, I have made two from the release.

I plan to have my ornaments in a Christmas basket so I am not hanging mine. I followed the tutorial and made some changes to make my life easier as there are lots of pieces and doubling to have the back covered as well (which is not necessary for me). I doubled the hat and the gloves ONLY to add stability. I stitched the buttons, the hat band and scarf then glued into position using Aleene's tacky craft glue. 

I watched the tutorial, and simplified it again to make it easier for myself. I only doubled the leaves as the back will not be on display. I stitched the can edge white, the read pieces red and glued them into position using Aleene's. I also used Aleene's to glue the leaves and red holly berries into position. I am avoiding hot glue!

Supplies:

Spellbinders Felt Candy Cane and Felt Snowman Star Etched Dies - Felt Stitch and Create Collection

Felt Ornaments

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. It has been a little while since my last post, but I will be sharing some stitching and a few Christmas projects that I have been creating these past few days. I am so happy that some stamping companies are releasing some stitching dies, as it has inspired me to bring out my dies from my stash and also purchase some new supplies as I love making felt projects.

I stitched these ornaments using supplies from my stash, and it was great to get the mojo back!

Supplies: Memory Box Plush Gift Ornament, Memory Box Plush Mitten, Memory Box Plush Poinsettia

Other: felt, ribbon, 4mm gold beads, DMC floss.

Thinking of You

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. I really enjoyed the results of my last card and thought that I would again mix the old product with the new and made another card. I think that if you a design that works, create with it and make more cards while the creative streak is going!

I kept the basic frame design the same, but changed the focal area of my card. I had ordered from Spellbinders, the Four Petal Thank You Floral set. I used some Kaisercraft cardstock, added a butterfly and sentiment to finish my card.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Neenah Solar Crest 110lb, Kaisercraft Bloom CD330, Forest CD114 and Carnation CD329

Dies: Spellbinders 5x7 heirloom legacy, Spellbinders heirloom reflections, Waffle Flower A7 layers die, Spellbinders Four Petal Sketched floral, Couture Creations Edith and Baby

Spellbinders embossing folder sketched floral

Other: Kaisercraft Pearls SB713

Merry Christmas Card

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing the last of some Christmas cards (for now). I recently made an order with Spellbinders and decided to use some of my new products, mixed in with my products from my stash. I came up with a design for this Christmas card PLUS another card which I will share later this week. 

I wanted to use gold and white for a while in a card, I used foil paper to die cut the gold details and mats. I used an embossing folder to texture and also compliment the intricate die frame that I used. I used an older Spellbinders die to make the poinsettia to embellish my card.

I am really happy with how this card turned out and how I was able to mix some old products with the new.

Supplies

Cardstock: Neenah Solar Crest 110lb, Gold foil , watercolour paper (for poinsettia)

Dies: Spellbinders 5x7 heirloom legacy, Spellbinders heirloom reflections, Waffle Flower A7 layers die, Spellbinders layered poinsettia, Waffle Flower Merry Christmas print die, Spellbinders Bird Poinsettia Collection

Other: Kaisercraft Sparklets Dafodill, Ribbon white and gold
