Happy Belated Valentine’s Day!



Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! Here’s a quick and easy project made from fleece and felt.

My daughter had a baby a week ago and I drove down to Florida to help out. On my way down, I found this cute little felt pouch in a fabric store (it’s a 1070 mile drive! I had to stop and take a break here and there...)





I had die cut some pink  Sizzix Flower with Heart Petals before on the trip I left thinking I would use them on a card. But this worked event better!

The flowers were die cut from two colors of pink fleece and the leaves were cut from an old wool jacket. I used brads to hold the flowers together, then placed them on the purchased pouch. They were glued on using Fabri-tac glue.

Fabric flowers can be used in so many ways- as hair accessories, on shoes, stationery, lampshades and other home decor projects. I love steel rule dies because they can cut so many materials...


Heading back to Virginia and a foot of snow :-( See you next time!

  1. Hi Eileen, it's Pete over in the UK. I'm just about to use this flower on a UK magazine article and I've literally just finished using your wicked animal Thinlits on my blog. Keep up the good work and congrats to both you and your daughter *hope the snow clears soon!)

    1. Hi Pete! It's Eileen...Just saw this- nice to hear from you! Thanks for using the flower and animals (both wicked and otherwise)... would love to see what you did with them! The baby is adorable and it was so much fun to be there for his birth. More snow coming tomorrow- I am weird- I like snow :-) I am a big fan of yours!
