Welcome to the last day of the My Favorite Things October Release Countdown -- the new products will be available tonight, October 14, at 10pm Eastern! Be sure to head over to the MFT Blog to see today’s full product reveals AND enter for your chance to win a $75 gift voucher on each of the 7 countdown day blog posts there!
My project uses these products being featured/revealed today: the AWESOME new Free with $60 Christmas Tree Cutout Die-namics and the Peace-Love-Joy Die-namics, along with the new Stitched Traditional Tag STAX, to create these Felt tree tag ornaments:
These were so much fun to create! I started by die cutting the tags out of Sour Apple and Jellybean Green Felt and cardstock, then die cutting the Christmas Tree Cutout only out of the felt tags. The felt tree cutout tags were then adhered to the coordinating cardstock tags ... this provides a base on which the cutout tree felt colors can be inset and adhered with liquid glue, and provides stability for the tag/ornament:
The same was done with the cutout "Merry" words. I die cut the trees out of five different pink/red felt colors (colors listed in the supply section below), then just mixed and matched them to create all of these tags ... and still have one left over for another project!:
I used two different ways of adhering the "Merry" words, so you could see the difference and decide on your preference -- the left tag above has the word die cut out of the lighter Sour Apple green felt, while the right darker Jellybean Green Felt tag has the Merry letters adhered directly on top of the tag.
The same was done with the tags below, with the "joy" and "love" words from the Peace-Love-Joy Die-namics die cut from felt and adhered to the tops of the tags:
Whip Cream ribbon, Whip Cream and Wild Cherry buttons, along with jingle bells, were sewn to the tops of the tags to serve as hangers.
All the new products will be available for purchase TONIGHT, October 14 at 10pm Eastern in the MFT Boutique. During this countdown you can enter to win some HUGE prizes over on the MFT blog . . . where you will also find links to the other design team members that are sharing samples using today’s featured products!
