Asher's Birth Day

My husband thought it would be cute to give a card to Asher on his 0 birthday-- his actual day of birth. Hence, a card for the new tiny Aries. Uses Mama Elephant Cosmic Stars for tiny image and Papertrey Ink Wet Paint for the Happy. Colors are better in person. :)

Supplies

Papertrey Ink Stampaffaire:Renaissance

Christmas/winter holiday card every day: day 5

Peerless watercolor (but you could use Sakura as well) leftover on my acrylic block from previous project spritzed with water then smooched onto watercolor paper. Gorjuss image stamped on to Copic Xpress-it card stock. Colored with Copic markers. I'll admit I loved the index image so much from the Gorjuss box, I copied the color scheme. The colored image then fussy cut and mounted on black 3L foam squares. The water color panel, now dry, was die cut with dies front the coffee cozy details die set from Papertrey Ink. I then backed the cut-outs with some scraps of American Crafts silver glitter paper. Happy Holidays was stamped with versa mark ink and embossed with white WOW embossing powder- I think the stamp is from Technique Tuesday. An older and likely retired Stampin' Up mitten stamp used on envelope and the colored with the Copics that were still on the table. 

Supplies

Coral and Salmon Coin Purse

The shadow of my camera makes for crummy photos- but oh well. Most of the felt is from The Felt Pod on Etsy. The Felt Pod has so many great color choices- it was hard to narrow it down. I believe the Felt Pod felt was definitely comparable to the felt from Papertrey Ink-meaning it worked well when die cutting. I got some junky felt from Joann's and it was a dismal failure to attempt to die cut. I never really learned to sew but I was able set the zipper and dew this coin purse with the cool coin purse die set from Papertrey Ink. The zipper matches perfectly- I got it from K & Supplies- wonderful choices and great service by the way. I got the lobster clip thing from same place. I was almost foiled by choosing the right thread- contrasting wasn't looking right and I didn't have a match. So, I did what anyone would do- I dyed the thread with a Copic marker. The flowers are also a die set from Papertrey Ink called Button Stacks.

Audrey's coin purse

My 9 year old made this nearly all by herself. I only helped with the needle threading and the tie-offs. The 100% wool felt from Papertrey Ink is indeed very nice and cuts like a dream with dies. The coin purse, heart, and zipper die are also from Papertrey Ink.  The little bit of ribbon is from May Arts. 

I made one, too, but it's a gift and don't want the recipient to see it here before she receives it. 

Felt Coffee Cozy

They said it was easy.

They said it was quick.

And they were right!

This coffee cozy was so easy to die cut and stitch together.
Coffee Cozy and heart and heart tag dies from Papertrey Ink. Tiny row of hearts is from Lawn Fawn. Felt is from Papertrey Ink. Now that I know the look and feel, I am hoping to get some on sale at Joann's of similar quality. The floss was from the bottom of the bucket labeled "Floss and Fibers" in my craft space. I can see die cutting a bunch of these up and stitching up while on the next road trip. I also plan to try with fabric with some interfacing (bondoweb?) added.
