Throwback Thursday: Embroidering on Eggs

 I have a Throwback Thursday post for you today.  I thought it would be fun to share some more projects I made combining embroidery on felt with Stampin' Up! stamps and dies.  All the eggs were die cut with the Excellent Eggs Dies.  For the first three images, I used a stamp from the Excellent Eggs stamp set.  Here is the stamped felt:

And here is the piece after I embroidered it, sewed it to a back and added a ribbon:

For other eggs, I used the Dainty Delight and Thoughtful Wishes sets to the stamp images I used as a guide for embroidering.  Felt bunnies were made with dies from the Excellent Dies as well.

I could imagine using this method to create sachets or ornaments for other occasions as well!   How about you?  Is this something you'd be interested to try?

SUper Friends Clean and Simple March Swap Cards

Catching up on photos from another fabulous SUper Friends swap today!  For our March swap, my SUper Friends demonstrator group decided to create clean and simple cards.  And, I think you'll agree with me that these cards show that clean and simple can still have that absolute wow factor!

Judy's card has lovely white on white layers with some beautiful stamping with the Petal Park stamp set, coordinating punch, and some sweet pearls:

Jaya also used the Petal Park stamp set and coordinating punch for her elegant card, but used two colors for the two-step stamping of the leaves and has her blooms in multiple colors:

Kallien's creation shows off the Dainty Delight stamp set, which she colored in and then embossed with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders before layering on her card base:

Kallien also created a beautiful matching envelope for her card:

Margery's card features beautifully watercolored images from the March Paper Pumpkin kit on a die cut piece from the Scalloped Contours Dies, that fits in a pocket on the front of the card that's embossed with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder:

For my card, I decided to combine marker-colored images from the Taco Fiesta stamp set with a frame created by one of the Radiating Stitches dies:

Thanks again to the SUper Friends for sharing their creativity!

And, thank you for visiting my blog!
