Warmest Wishes (Puffy Ornaments) Blog Hop Challenge

Hey everyone. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my US friends and family! I am so excited about today's sneek peek of the newest stamp set with coordinating dies!  So adorable, so lets get to it!
Torico is in the mood to make winter all warm and cheery. She has illustrated a fabulous set that will keep you in stitches or get you in the mood to make gingerbread houses and sugar cookies. The set includes hearts, stars, and snowflakes to create a one of a kind snowman or holiday tree. This set also includes six dies – so warm up your die cutting machine and let the baking begin. What set wouldn’t be complete without a few sentiments to add to your winter projects? 

Warmest Wishes is a 4x4 set that includes a total of 23 stamps and 6 dies and will sell for $31.50.


So I decided to do a 2 day project....today I am showing you how to make your own "puffies" and puffy ornaments with the stamps and dies in this set.  Here's a little tutorial: 

Gather your supplies:
Warmest Wishes Dies and Stamp set
Staz-On Ink
Fabri-Tac
Polyfil
Scissors
(Copics and decorations optional)

Die cut the felt:
Stamp the felt with Staz On:
Optional: Color with Copics:
Your stamped felt is ready to stuff now:
 Apply Fabri-Tac to the outside edges of both insides of your felt images:
Place a small amount of Poly-Fil (and Wired Colored String if you want them to be ornaments):
Pinch edges and hold for a second all the way around the felt.  The edges will adhere quickly:
Trim away excess Poly-Fil:
Decorate and you're finished!

Would you like to win the new Warmest Wishes stamp sets? Here is what you need to do- visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post. You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday November 26th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.

THESE - ARE - AWESOME! WICKED awesome! I can't wait to be able to afford some felt and make some myself - I made felt ornaments with sequins and beads and stitching from those old Bucilla kits when I was little (yes, even though I am Jewish, LOL) and felt ornaments still hold a dear place in my heart to this day.
