Sweet Pea Stitched Felt

When it comes time, as it does several times a year, to say goodbye to one of Stampin' Up!'s mini catalogs and welcome in a new one - it's both thrilling and saddening!  I'm always excited about the new products coming in - and this year's Summer Mini Catalog (which begins May 1) has some wonderful stamps and accessories, no doubt about that!  I've really enjoyed the Occasions Mini Catalog this year, though, which ends April 30.  And the item I will miss MOST?  The Sweet Pea Stitched Felt!

These sweet flowers and leaves are a fun and EASY way to dress up a card, and at 52 pieces per package and $7.95 a package they're a sweet deal, too!  You can bet that I'll be stocking up before these darlings retire at the end of this month, that's for sure!

Here are a few cards I made using the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt, complete with how-to instructions.  Enjoy!

I love these tall and skinny cards - they have such a unique look to them!
