Reverse Confetti February Blog Hop

Hey 'Fetti Fans!   Today is the Reverse Confetti February Blog Hop!    Today I have a couple of felt projects to share using the recently release Patterned Hearts Confetti Cuts and stamp set.  





 First up, I have two Valentine cards to share and then a Valentine's Day Heart garland.    I just love making Valentine's Day projects!  



 I die cut a ton of hearts using the Reverse Confetti Patterned Hearts Confetti Cuts from red, white, hot pink and light pink felt.   I then created the backgrounds for each card, for the small white, I used the Blocked Out Square Panel from white card stock.   I then added my two felt hearts and sewed them thru the middle using a Zig Zag stitch.   I then added the sewed panel to a 4 1/4 inch square card base.






For the next card, I created die cut the Diagonal Stitches Cover Panel from Lead card stock.   I then layered my hearts onto the panel and then sewed them on one side with a Zig Zag stitch.   I stamped a sentiment from Patterned Hearts onto a strip of Midnight card stock and then white heat embossed it and added to the card.   I added my panel to a Lead card base.   






Next up, I am sharing a Valentine garland that I made using more felt hearts.   I have wanted to make one of these for years and the Patterned Heart Confetti Cuts make the perfect layering die cuts for this!    I ended up with 68 felt hearts from the four colors of felt.    






I then created an assembly line with the hearts and started stacking them together.   It came together pretty quickly.  Once I had the small and large hearts paired up, then I started stitching with a straight stitch one right after another.  



 



I added some Baker's Twine to each end so that I could hang the garland.   I also added another Baker's Twine to the middle so that I could create the swag.   My swag is a little off balance!   I realized after I took the photos that I put the Baker's Twine off center, but easy to fix - I left it as just a loop so that I can take it off or use it to loop up the middle and slide it back and forth wherever it is needed.   :-)  I collect Antique Cookie Jars and these are some of my favorites!   I have another set of favorites in my craft room. 








I already have more plans for next year using the Patterned Hearts Confetti Cuts to create more Valentine decor but I am running out of time for it this year! 

Check out what all the designers have to share with you today!   Next stop on the hop is the always inspiring Kelly Lunceford!    I can't wait to hop along and see all the wonderful inspiration!  Thank you for stopping by!
