I am so honored to be the Spellbinders Guest Designer today! I get to showcase the Classic Petal set.
I have had this felt stocking in my head for several months, and I have to say I just love it when something in my head, actually turns out like I wanted it to! LOL
I created a Christmas stocking out of wool felt. I found this amazing woman who has amazing wool felt. It is the most beautiful, high quality wool felt you will ever see. The selection is incredible, any color you could ever imagine in 8 x12" sheets! Please take the time to hop on over to Felt On The Fly Blog and Felt On The Fly Etsy. Spellbinders die templates cut wool felt beautifully...just like butter baby!
Here's a quick video tutorial to show you how to create your own felt Christmas Stocking.
(Try to ignore the Snoopy bandaid, cutting tomato's can require a trip to the ER if you're not careful! lol)
Be sure to visit the Spellbinders Blog to see all the details, and leave a comment there for a chance to win ALL SIX EDGEABILITIES SETS!!!
Here are a few pictures showing you how I created that fabulous little box I put in my stocking.
I love the large cutting and embossing plates that come with Spellbinders Grand Calibur Machine. You can cut all the dies at once, then emboss all the dies at once.
The box will have embossed areas that make it really easy to see exactly where you will fold the box. The pictures above show you step by step how to put this box together. Use the die templates as a stencil and apply fluid chalk ink for added detail. Attach the die cuts to the sides of the box, and adhere the tag to the top.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am thankful for many things, one of them is for you, my blog readers. I always love to read your comments and am so glad you take the time to stop by!
Hugs
Holly
