 Hello, I'm back today sharing a fun project using the Plush Turtle Die from Papertrey Ink.   I used Aqua Mist and Ocean Tides Felt to cut and stitch the turtle's body.  The die set comes with the pattern for the top of the turtle's shell, making it so quick and easy to add detail to your project!  For a fun whimsical look, I added a cluster of stitched flowers using the Stitched Floral Clusters Die.  I chose bright colors to give a summer vibe (Hibiscus Burst, Summer Sunrise, and Simply Chartreuse).  For the centers of the flowers, I added some cute yellow buttons, giving the project dimension and interest (Lemon Tart).   I just love how this project turned out.  This would make a sweet little ornament to hang on the side of a gift bag or a fun addition to a tiered trey.  So cute!   Be sure to join the  Stitching Club Facebook Group where we share lots of stitching ideas, tips, and tricks!

Hello!  I'm sharing a fun stitching project using the In Stitches: Birdhouse Die from Papertrey Ink. I have to say, this die was so easy to use!  It cut through the felt effortlessly and the pieces fit together so easily! To create this sweet little ornament, I used the Harvest Gold Felt for the base of my house.  Using the flower dies included in the set, I stitched on some pink flowers and leaves using the Rasberry Fizz and Simply Chartreuse felt.  For the circle opening on my house, I die cut a circle using the Aqua Mist felt and placed it near the top of my house.  Some Classic Kraft was the perfect color for the roof.  In order to create the border across the bottom of the house, I die cut a piece of the roof and just trimmed it to fit.  Such an easy detail to add a bit of character and variation.  To finish off this sweet project, I added some Cream Twine, tied it into a bow and topped it with a little button from the Lemon Tart Buttons Pack.   I just love how this turned out
