Paper Dolls Challenge #29

**This is my second post for today!  Scroll down to see my very first Amber Ink project!**

Welcome to the Paperdolls Challenge #29!  I am hosting this week so I wanted to share a challenge that I have been working on!  This week's challenge is to use felt and a die!  Recently, I have been trying to use more felt. Because yes...I do have a felt stash.  And it is not small.  So I must use it.  Pull out the dies, Laurie, and use the felt. That is what I tell myself. So here is a little felt today...

Are you loving that impressed piece of cardstock? Well I am! I used a mist of water before I ran it through...but here is the big secret... Bazzill! The thinner weight cardstock impresses SO well! NOW, I am still a PTI junky! Their cardstock is the best! BUT this Bazzill just impresses like a dream! So much so that the back of the piece looks like its embossed! (Should have taken a pic before I glued it down!) It's gorgeous!!

And of course, my felt tea pot! I will must use more felt soon! The hoarding madness must stop!

I hope you can join us over at the Paperdolls blog!  Please stop by and link up your project!  We would really love to have you!


ETA: Jill aksed what stamp and die this is...sorry!  I am sooo bad at supply lists!  The frame stamp is Waltzingmouse.  The HB sentiment is from PT Butterfly Dreams and the die is the Tea Pot die from PTI as well!  OH and polka dot basics I for the background!  HTH!

  3. Oh how I love this card. So clean and elegant. I need to invest in some felt (hope I don't turn into a felt hoarder!) :) but I need dies so I can cut the felt first!!

  8. I recently bought several sheets of Bazzill to use with my cricut for the more detailed designs I cut and it does cut better (more accurate) using thinner cardstock. I'll definitely have to try dry embossing with it. Gorgeous card!

  9. Laurie, this is stunning. I'm like you regarding my felt, buttons, etc. I always think: "Wait... what if I run out?!" It's a sickness, I tell you! :) You've inspired me to use more felt. I promise.
