The theme for October is:
Never Felt Better!!
Felt is all the rage in crafting. It's so thick and soft and gives that special warm and cozy feeling to fall and winter projects. TE has 21 yummy colors to choose from, but do you ever just stare at all that felt and think, "Hmmmm...what should I do with it?"
Designers, show us a fun project featuring felt.
OMGoodness what a Fun Challenge!! I LOVE felt, and have a bunch of it on hand, And I really don't use it as much as I'd like, lol So You know I am super excited for our projects today! So much so that I actually made 2 different ones! Yay! 8-) It definitely does lend a warm cozy feeling to each project that I do use it on though!! And I am really Loving TE's Taylored felt for sure! It comes in all kinds of yummy colors and cuts soo easily, just like 'Butta'!! ;-)
Well I decided to keep my projects pretty simple so the felt die cuts would be the stars of the show!...8-) So on my first one I thought I'd use TE's Very Merry Outlines Dies for my Holly Leaves & my sentiment is stamped from TE's Peppermint Place Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black.
My Mats and BG layers were created with TE's Choice Kraft CS, TE's Choice ButterCream CS, TE's QuatreFoil Cutting Plate ( for my embossed BG) and TE's New 'Tis the Season Project Pantry Kit. To finish them all up I just added fun little buttons all tied up with some Natural Burlap Twine... 8-)
Next up I thought I'd feature some Fun Felt Snowflakes created with TE's Make a Snowflake Dies...8-)
My Mats and BG layers were created with TE's Choice Kraft CS, TE's Choice ButterCream CS, TE's Snowflake Cutting Plate ( for my embossed BG) and TE's New Bundled Up Project Pantry Kit.
To finish them all up I just added fun little gems and a touch of shading with Colorbox's Frost White ink.... 8-)
