Spellbinder's has released some new dies especially for cutting 100% wool felt. They also feature colors of felt which can be purchased to go along with these new dies, But don't worry you can still use them to cut paper too! Today's project features a cute 5 x 7 inch Christmas card featuring the new Felt Gingerbread Boy and Girl Etched Die set. This is the card that I created using the new dies:
To create this card, I started with a 5x7 white card base to which I added a mat of dark green card stock which measured 4.75 x 6.76" and attached it to the center of the base card. Next I added a pretty green and red printed Christmas paper which measured 4.5 x 6.5 inches and centered it atop the green cardstock. Lastly, I found this cute gingerbread printed paper and cut a strip that measured 2 x 6.5 inches and attached it to the left side of the card as shown. I then cut the gingerbread from tan cardstock and inked the edges with brown ink which gave him a baked look. Next, I stitched the outside edge of the gingerbread with tan thread. I then cut stitched the mouth with black thread. The eyes, cheeks, button, bow tie, icing, and hat pieces were all cut from cardstock and stitched with white or red thread in the case of the red portion of his hat. The tree was cut from felt and outlined in green thread and then decorated with yellow thread. The tree was then glued to the gingerbread's right hand. Finally I added a glimmered sentiment from the Comfort and Joy glimmer plate set. They were both glued to the front of the card base to complete the card.
This card shows that the pieces can be cut from either felt or paper and mixed and matched to create some texture where needed. To see the entire new collection, simply click here. As you will see, there are many to choose from, as I will be only sharing three of them with you.
Be sure to check back tomorrow when I will have another awesome project to share with you!
