Second of Three New Projects Featuring the Felt Die Collection by Nicole Spohr

 Today I am featuring a project I created using the new felt dies from Nicole Spohr for Spellbinders.  This time I am  using the candy cane die.  I also used them with both felt and cardstock to give them a more textured look.  The second candy cane was cut and I used the back side inverted so that I had two candy canes that cross. Here is the card I made.  

 To make this card, I started with a 5x7 white base card to which I added a mat of red cardstock measuring 4.75 x 6.75 this was then centered and applied to the card front.  I then cut this pretty printed paper to measure 4.5 x 6.5 inches and applied that centered on the red cardstock.  Next I cut two candy canes from white cardstock.  The second one was inverted so that I used the back side.  Once it was stitched you couldn't tell it was reversed.  I cut the red stripes from red felt that I had in my stash along with the berries.  I stitched the white areas of the candy canes with white embroidery thread.  The stripes were then added after being stitched with red embroidery thread.  The three holly leaves were cut from the green felt that was included in the Merino Felt sheets cool collection and were stitched with green thread.  They were all arranged and attached to the card front with glue.  I added the sentiment using my hot foil machine and the Comfort and Joy foil plate and die set.  It was foiled with gold foil and added across the bottom of the card.  

I love how this card turned out.  I also love the texture that the felt added.  It really adds to the look  of the card!  I hope you will give some of these dies a chance!  Like I said, if you do not like the look or want to deal with the felt you can always just use paper and treat them as a stitching die.  To see the entire collection  of felt dies, just click here.  

Be sure to check back tomorrow when I will have the last of my three projects for this collection.  I am sure you don't want to miss it!
