FELT makes my heart happy!

Hiyas, it's almost 11:30pm here, so I'm gonna try and make this real quick.

Felt is hot, isn't it? I love it's textures and the way it looks against the smooth cardstock. I have experience with felt having made a couple of banners for my sorority back in my college days, haha! So anyways, I decided to do a little research and buy some nice quality felt so I can make my own embellishments. I found this great little etsy shop called feltonthefly that sells 100% wool felt in gorgeous colors!! The owner, Janet is sooo nice and accommodating! She helped me put together a custom order of some of my fave colors (hint: PTI matches, lol!).

Look what I made with my new felt!

Look! Clean perfect cuts! No fraying! The best part of this felt thingie? It was only $2.50 for a 9x12 sheet!

BTW, I am not getting paid to write this, just passing along a great shopping experience! :)

Stamps: Hero Arts Friendship Messages, Papertrey Background Basics: Tin Types, Daisy Bucket Friends

  12. I have been drawn in to the felt trend. I haven't used it yet, but it's been appearing in my brain--as ideas for cards and other crafts. Perhaps this will inspire me to get started. I am checking out that etsy shop now.
    Thanks.

  16. I wanted to let you know I found some wool felt for $1.50 for a 12x18 sheet & it's really nice! I ordered it from Vintage Vogue in Corona CA. They don't have a toll-free number, but the company that makes it is National Nonwovens and their toll-free # is 800-333-3469.
