These little felt cases are addictive. But before I go on can I say I LOVE MY JOB. I am blessed to be a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator. How cool is it to make things like this for a living? My work brings me so much joy and it is so much fun to have access to great products like the Big Shot, Ribbons, Buttons and more to add to great finds such as felt. I love having it all at my fingertips and being a demonstrator and purchasing at a discount allows that.

OK enough gushing about the job I love – I moved on to the TOP NOTE die for creating cases and have expanded to IPODS and thanks to Connie Stewart Feminine hygiene products – who knew we could stylishly carry those things?

General Notes – I used felted wool and hand stitching for all of these – which is pretty obvious but I love the look. Sometimes things can be too perfect!
