Sweet Little Pig and 3-D Basket with Simon Says Stamp!! =)

Pin It



Hello!!
I saw that the challenge over on both the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog and the Simon Says Monday Challenge Blog was FUN with Felt!! =) SQUEAL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Felt!! I have been creating up a storm using the Simon Says Stamps Plush Party Bunny Wafer Die Set along with Plush Spring Time Basket Wafer Die Set and the Mini Flower and Leaves Wafer Die Set!! I've been having FUN altering the Die Cuts to create some other projects to get MORE out of my Dies!! I just LOVE being able to use them for SO MANY different things!! =) So I created a Sweet Little Pig along with a Larger 3-D Basket for my Niece to carry her Sweet Little Pig around in from some October Afternoon Fabrics and some Felt!! =) For the Pig I Die Cut ALL of my Pieces and then just made the ears alittle smaller!! I Stitched it altogether and then added the Mini Flowers to the her Ear!! I used the Button Die Cut from some Soft Pink/Peach Felt from WPlus9 for the Pigs Nose and Stitched it too the Face of the Pig!! For the Basket I drew out a Pattern using the Spring Time Basket Die to create a 3-D Basket!! Here's a Picture of the Pattern I made!!

It's SUPER EASY to create and then I used the Die to Cut out the Fabric Pieces from the October Afternoon Fabric and then used the Pattern I made to Cut my Felt Pieces out to create the Shape and the Liner of my Basket!! I like to double it up just to make it more stable, but you could totally just do this in a Single Layer if you want!! Then I Stitched it up and added the Handle also included in the Set!! I layered this up as well and again I did it to make it more sturdy so it could stand up to LOTS of Wear and Tear from Raelee!! =)

I'm also linking up to the Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday Challenge: Flowers!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you come back because I have a Couple MORE to share!! =) Have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Paper Smooches Anything Goes Challenge!! =)

Hello!!
I'm SO EXCITED to share a New Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge with you for this Week!! I have been working on more Back To School Cards and for some reason I just CAN'T STOP creating them!!  =) I've made a FUN card for today using the  Smarty Pants Stamp Set, Fruit People Die Set, Foliage 1 Dies, School Icons Dies Set and the Borders 2 Dies Set!! I used some October Afternoon Fabric from their Sidewalks Paper Collection Line!! I just LOVED this Collection so when I found the Fabric at a Fabric Store I just had to HAVE it!! =) I Die Cut all of the Images and used my Sewing Machine to Stitch around all of the Apples!! I added the rest of the Die Cuts and Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment!! I wanted it to look like it was the LAST Page in a Notebook so I Die Cut Several of the Paper Edges and then Free Hand Cut the other Edges and Lined them all up together and Stitched them all together to the Card Front!! I REALLY LOVE the way it turned out and its hard to show in the Photos, but in real life it really does look neat!! =)

I made these CUTIE Little Notebooks for the Teacher's and then I made some for my Boys, and my Niece's and Nephew!! The Fabric is a Cosmo Cricket Design from their Baby Jane Paper Collection Line!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this Fabric!! I Stitched around the Die Cuts using my Sewing Machine and I was going for a Handmade Look!! =) LOL!! I used the Smarty Pants Stamp Set, Paper Die, Tooth Fairy Die Set, Foliage 1 Dies, School Icons Dies Set  and the Stitched Frames Die Set to create the Heart Hole in the Apple for the Worm to come through!! II added some Burlap Twine and a Vintage Button and my Notebook Cover was done!!  For the Notebook Pages I just Die Cut SEVERAL Printer Paper Die Cuts that I Stitched together!! I Glued the Front and Back Covers to the First and Last Pages of the Notebook Insides to create a Seamless Notebook!! I have ALWAYS LOVED having a Little Notebook for stuff I wanted to write down so I HOPE they LOVE them as MUCH as I Do!!?? I'll be sharing the other designs soon so keep an out for them if your Interested!!??  =)
I HOPE you're feeling INSPIRED!!?? Don't forget to Visit the rest of the AMAZING Paper Smooches SPARKS Designer Blogs to see what they have created!!
