It's finally time ... the newest November Essentials by Ellen stamps and dies are now available in Ellen's shop and you can find them all HERE!
I promised full details for the Pop-Up Mitten banner project I sneaked peeked for you last week, and here they are:
As you can see, this adorable die set is great for many other types of projects besides the fabulous intended use of a pop-up mitten element (genius!) -- I absolutely love the three different sizes of pretty snowflakes as well!
These mittens measure approximately 3-1/8" at the longest point. I die cut them from coordinating colors of wool felt: light and dark pink, light blue and dark aqua, and paired them up with opposite colors. So the first light pink mitten has a dark pink backing and the second light aqua mitten has the darker aqua backing. Here is a view of the backs of the mittens:
I also die cut the snowflakes from the Pop-Up Mittens die set from white felt and stitched them on the mitten fronts first, using embroidery floss. Then I stitched each pair of mittens together using a regular stitch or a blanket stitch, leaving them open at the top so they can hold goodies! Next, I stitched all of the mittens together using some silver sparkle cord so they can be hung like a banner! I'm thinking this will make a cute decoration for my oldest's dorm room!
Finally, I die cut the MERRY letters from felt using Essentials by Ellen Classic Block Alpha (if you like that alpha, you'll need to scoop it up before it's gone/retired!). Here's how they look all stretched out ready to hang, possibly stuffed with tiny trinkets, candies, lollipops:
