Can you felt it? Waffle Flower Blog Hop

Hello everyone! 

Welcome to Can You Felt It? - Waffle Flower Blog Hop! Today is the 5th of the month and also the day that the design team girls get together and share some fun craft projects using our newest stamps and dies released in April. 

If you came from Joni Andaya's blog, you are right on track!  If not, stop by the Waffle Flower blog to pick up the entire hop order.  

We teamed up with Benzie Design and are sharing some felt projects today!  I used the Electric Company collection of colors, the Notions stamp set and the Mailable 3D Bow Template Die to create a little gift set for my daughter who is beginning to learn how to sew. 

For the card, I stamped the buttons from Notions onto green cardstock in a random pattern.  To create the tomato pin cushions, I die cut ovals from the Magenta and Flamingo felt and then hand cut a pair of wonky stars from the Chartreuse felt to make the stems.  I inserted a few stick pins before glueing them to a piece of white card stock.  

An orange mat with a scalloped edge and a bit of blue twine to match the sentiment finished off the card.   I love how the two pin cushions look like a mama and little one.  This card might also make a nice Mother's Day card for a crafty, sewing mama. 

I also made a needle book and some bow-topped T-pins to add some fun pieces to her new hobby.  

For the needle book, I die cut some Magenta felt into a long rectangle shape.  The page's of the book were made from the Flamingo felt.  I simply stitched through all the layers of felts down the center to create the book.  I added a fun bow detail with the Mailable 3D Bow template die and Chartreuse felt.  

Here's a look at the inside of the book: 

I trimmed the needle book pages with pinking shears to add a fun detail.  Now, she has a special place to keep pins and needles. 

Lastly, the felt pins...

These were super easy to create.  I die cut more 3D bows from the felt- Cyan, Orange and Chartreuse and during assembly, I added some glue and a T-pin through the center. 

Here's one last look at my projects...  

I think she is going to love them!  

This is the gorgeous felt collection from Benzie Designs that I used in my projects:

Notions Thank You Card, a Coupon + a Giveaway

Hello friends,

I am so excited to be sharing my first "official" post as a member of the new Waffle Flower Crafts design team!  Last week, Waffle Flower released 4 awesome stamp sets and 3 dies and today I am sharing a sweet and colorful Thank You card made with the Notions set.

I die cut a stitched panel from speckled cream card stock and stamped the sentiment in brown ink.  Next I stamped the thread spools with kraft ink and the thread in several colors of Hero Arts Shadow Ink including Pale Tomato, Fresh Peach, Soft Cantaloupe, Butter Bar and Tide Pool.   I then filled in the gaps with other smaller images from the set including the scissors, buttons, thimbles, twine and hearts.

Here is a look at the Notions stamp set.  It's available now in the Waffle Flower Crafts store.

To celebrate my first post, I have a $10.00 gift certificate to give away for the Waffle Flower Crafts store.  Just leave me a comment by 8 p.m. on Sunday, April 13 for your chance to win. 

I also have a coupon for the most adorable heart die for FREE with your order of $50.00.  It makes darling confetti... but more on that later. :)

  

Well that's all I have today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
