Spellbinders - Spring Plushies

 

I am honored once again to have been sent some of the latest products from Spellbinders.  In this post I'm sharing two projects I created using Nichol Spohr's Felt Stitch and Create line.

Up first is my favorite of the two.  I love the color red and knew I wanted to make my Cozy Cluck chicken from a red/orange/yellow combination.  I'm really happy with how this one turned out.  She was created sans filler and will be displayed in a place of honor in my kitchen.  (I may make her a magnet, not sure yet.)

Isn't she just the sweetest thing?

I was also sent this fun duo of Felt Carrot Companion dies.  The two plushies are separate however I stitched them together to make a single hanging ornament.

My daughter-in-law keeps a small table top Christmas tree in the foyer area at 

the top of their stairs so I thought this would be a perfect Easter display.  I know 

my grandson will love it.  This one was stuffed with snipped cotton balls.

Some personal thoughts....I had a much easier time with these spring elements compared to the Christmas ones.  So much so that I now consider myself an intermediate with regards to stitching.  LOL! It helped too that I used a stiffer felt available here on Amazon.  Spellbinders also sells felt but I didn't have the correct colors on hand for these projects.  I used embroidery floss from a local box store for all of my stitching.  I used Aileen's Felt and Foam tacky glue for the pieces that weren't stitched on.  I highly recommend this stuff as my tried and true Bearly Arts did not work on this stiff felt.  (It did however work great on the Spellbinders felt I used in December.)

So?  Cute, right?  I will post some card projects using these two sets soon.  Remember, these dies are not just for plushies!

Thank you Spellbinders!  And thank you all for visiting.

Until next time, 

Jules
