The challenge for today:
Use a two inch strip of pattern paper and make a Christmas card using only the 2 inch wide strip!
well…this was fun! I am feeling very primitive these days, so I went with some felt I cut out and did a blanket stitch around everything, including the paper! Why not?
besides the two-inch strip, nothing here was measured. I just cut all of the felt free-hand and stitched it up. The stitches aren’t perfect, but that adds to the charm I think. I added a combination of buttons from SEI and Basic Grey. Hope you like this one. I had a ball making it! if you want to do this challenge, just upload your card to SCS with the Keyword: ssnotime65

Love it!! I had a little Christmas pillow when I was younger that had a tree on it like that! Takes me back!
I love it Becky!! I work with felt all the time and just love what you did here….
I love this—does the tree come off to make an ornament? That would be fun! I love felt, too, and buttons, and anything vintage!
