Felt Flowers

happy Saturday everyone! 

I love this time of year, college football season is my absolute favorite season! Hehe. 

Today I just have a quick share. Lately I have seen a lot of embellishment made out of felt, and I wanted to give it a try.  I got out my Sizzix die called 'rolled rose,', and some Halloween colors of felt. I really like this die because it makes both sizes of flowers with one pass through the die-cutting machine. All that was left to do was roll and glue them.  

I am very satisfied with how they turned out, especially for this being my first time making them! Now, I just have to make a project to put them on! Haha.

Thanks for visiting me today!

Cash Candles Birthday Card

Hi crafters!

  How is your week going?  Mine seems to be very uneventful, so far.  Which is a good thing, right?!  :)  

Today I have another birthday card to share.   This one is for my brother.  I knew that I'd be giving him cash, but wanted a clever way to do it.  I was talking with my friend Jo, and she gave me this awesome idea!!

I started by rolling little 2"x2" pieces of cardstock into these small tubes.  

Then I rolled the money even smaller. 

I used my Cricut to cut out ten of these flame shapes, (ten so that I vould put some foam adadhesive in between two, to make them more 3D looking.)  I then glued everything to my card, (except the money obviously.  Haha.  It was just rolled up and slid into the tubes.)  The inside sentiment says, "Dont BLOW it all in one place."  Hahaha, I love that!  

And here is the finished card:

Thanks for visiting me today.  Have a great rest of the week!!
