Have you ever used felt on a card? Today I have a video creating a Christmas card sharing a few ‘felty’ tips along the way. But first, I have sooo much more……
Today is special as there is a HUGE release at Ellen Hutson and I had such fun playing with these new magical products! We are hopping to celebrate so you should have arrived here from JEN’s fabulous Blog! I have sooo many cards to share that I had just better get right to it.
Starting with the most clean and simple first. I just had to use this ‘tangle’ of lights from Bear Ware 5 with a sentiment from Love and Light.
I added some dimension with Crystal Glaze (I love this stuff, it’s not finicky like some other similar products).
Next it’s time to play with the Tag Trio Die Set. This is my first ‘homemade’ tassel and I used the DMC thread that Ellen Hutson has which co-ordinates perfectly with the felt colours.
I added a sentiment from the Warmest Wishes set and a cute snowman which is from Made This For You Stamp Set.
Next I added some of the Bear Ware 5 accessories to the All Inside bear so that
I could add a Sparkly Christmas Sentiment. I think this would make a great kids Christmas card.
Another clean and simple design, this time having some fun with the Deer Antlers.
I thought this sentiment from Mountain Holiday was the perfect choice!
Finally on to the felt and my video. The 12 Days set inspired me to create a card sharing a Partridge in a Pear Tree…. literally.
I did add a simple sentiment from the Love and Light stamp set as well as a heart from the Skelly Add-On set…. have you seen the Gingerbread Plushies yet, you MUST check them out!!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

LOVE your cool yule card! ADORABLE!
Great card and tag ideas. Dont know how I’ve never seen the Bear Ware series…it makes such cute designs!
You use negative space really well and love all your different inspirations. Such neat ideas. Now felt on a card sounds a little scary. Maybe if I hand sewed it on the panel. Not a fan of glue and tape on felt. But I have done my fair share of sewing felt.
Great use of the felt with the inlay! Thanks for your inspiration!
WOW!! So many fabulous creations! I love the simplicity of the tangled lights and antler cards. The Cool Yule sentiment fits perfectly. Your felt card is so creative. Thanks for sharing your process and tips on video.
All amazing designs! That first CAS card had my heart go pitter patter.
I love the felt inlay tag! It’s beautiful! My favorite is your first card with the Christmas lights! I love it’s simplicity!
Love your creations
LOVE the felt on the tag! never thought to do that but you bet your boots I will now! thank you for the inspiration!
The inlay tag is fantastic! I love the simplicity of your first card–simple but striking.
Especially love the bear with the antlers!
That bear with glasses had me smiling. Great use of a variety of textures on your projects.
You’ve showcased the release beautifully! Love the range of your cards from clean and simple to the fun mad scientist bear.
Cute projects! I love the bear with the huge antlers!
Love the cards and tags. Out right laugh over your bear cards!
So cute! I LOVE the Rudolph bear!
Therese, every creation is such a joy to behold! and every release that includes the bear has me wondering why I never bought that guy?!! Then I realize: he’s in the right hands already! xx
=]
Adorable yule card and all the other examples are great too.
I love all your projects, I think that pink and green tag is my favorite.
Love your style and the Yule card is just hilarious!
Love your partridge in a pear tree and the tangles Christmas lights. LOL
The felt card is so pretty and the antler card is adorable.
Great projects, but the felt card is really special.
Wow, so much variety today, all thoroughly fabulous!
Such fun cards! Those antlers on the bear are WILD and crazy! THe colors on the felt card are so pretty 💕
Your designs are adorable!
Love all your creations especially the Bear Ware with antlers!
Love how you used the felt and the yummy pastel colors. What did you do to my dear bear?! Love it all. Thanks!
You made bears cool.
Wow! Your projects are fantastic! I absolutely love your gift tag–the colors really speak to me, and that tassel is THE bomb! I also really like how you used the Bear Ware 5 stamps! SO cute!
Love your creativity.
Such fun! Love the textured touchability (is that even a word??) of the cards with the elements of felt, shiny glossy stuff and tassels. Haven’t used felt on a card for a while or glossy stuff either! I’m usually too impatient to wait for it to dry – does that sound like me?? 🙂
Great projects. Thanks for the inspiration.
Gorgeous cards Therese! Thanks for reminding me that I have a stash of felt and need to use it! ❤️
What beautiful cards! I love that tag! Wow! 💜
What an awesome bear card. Kids will love this!
Another fantastic release from Ellen.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Keep well.

Oh, gosh! I love everything you made! I am SUCH a fan of tags, it’s embarrassing how many tag dies I own. Plus, Bear Ware is ALWAYS a must have. Thanks so much for sharing these items with us.
Fun projects with this awesome release! Really loving your tangle of lights card , and also the bear with his holiday accessories!
I haven’t really used felt much before so all of your tips are really appreciated! Your card turned out so lovely!
I love how your mind works! I could watch your videos all day. Thanks for the inspiration.
The whole release looks amazing and I love all your creations.
Your partridge in a pear tree card was so much fun and watching you create it a blast.
As usual. a great big thank you.
Cheers
Lisa
Ooooh, that first card is CASilicious, Therese … the bears are just so fun … and the tassel-y tag is brilliant … and cute! The soft cosiness of the inlaid partridge in a pear tree is yummy … positively touchable! Fantastic inspiration, as ever! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Oh what wonderful creations! I Love the antlers!
Fantastic creations!
These are all wonderful. You really do beautiful work.
As always loving your work! I’m a huge fan of bear wear…always makes me laugh. No matter the season. Thank you for sharing.
I really like the partridge in a pear. I always have felt, but rarely use it, so I’m going to have to break it out and try this. Thank you so much for sharing this idea, and all of your wonderful cards.
Ahhh Therese, you did it again! I love it all and want it all! I love your creative use of the felt!!
Love the Cool Yule and tag!
Thanks for the inspiration.
So much fun. I usually REALLY love one or two pieces of a release. This one is killing me – I love them all. Big Sigh – so hard to choose. Your partridge card is so lovely. I also am really attracted to the tag with light colors.
I couldn’t choose either…. so I had to go back and buy the ones that I didn’t have from the release lol.. that means I didn’t have to choose, but don’t tell my hubby lol.
Partridge in a pear tree. Toooooooooo cute.
Love the tag, especially the colors!
WOW! What a wonderful variety in your release designs! I love the antlers and Rudolf nose on Mr. Bear and nice work on the handmade tassel! : )
Always love your work Therese.
Love your partridge in a pear card. Just ordered the Platinum6…can’t wait to try using felt with my die cuts. Your videos make me smile:)
Love the partridge in a pear tree
I love your mad scientist bear!
I so love that bear! Great cards.
These cards are ALL so gorgeous, Therese! I love the little details you add to each one to make them special!
Brilliant cards…and all so different.
Wonderful cards! The Rudolf bear is adorable!
Very creative ideas. Way to think outside of the box.
Loved your designs. Very original. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Your clean and simple cards are so awesome. I always over do my Christmas cards and I just love these. Thank you for the inspiration ❤
Adding the antlers die to my wish list – putting them on the bear is fun!
Your tag and cards are so cool! I love the look of felt on your last card! 🙂
Really fun cards. Love that tangle of lights…great CAS card.
oh my FUN! Love everything.
the color combination that tag is yummy
Whelp, I see that I need to add to my Bear Ware collection.
How cute are those projects? I love the felt one. I am always trying to think of new ways to use the felt. So adorable.
Oh my goodness the bear with the antlers!
Love the felt ornament. Have to try
this one – make ornaments for my
granddaughter’s Christmas tree.
Cute cards and tag. thanks
for sharing.

Love these fun cards. That antlered bear is too cute.
Wow! There isn’t a favourite in the lot as they are all so awesome! I would love to see how you made your scientist bear card though.
So much creativity! Love the cool yule card, and the partridge as well. You make it hard to just pick a few!
Rudolph Bear is my favorite but I love them all!
Oh my goodness! I was gonna comment on my favorite card, but each one caught my attention in one way or another. Well done!
Cue cards and tag and love the felt partridge in a pear tree.
Such fantastic cards! I’m smitten with bare ware and love seeing all the fun! And the felt partridge is beautiful!!
So inspired by these fun and joyful projects. I will be adding Bear Ware 5 to my shopping list.
I love your color combinations. They are beautiful and unique.
Great lights and antler’d bear.
All of your cards are just gorgeous, I love the simplicity of just using the lights from the bear wear with a sentiment. And the non traditional colors of pink and green on the tag are just beautiful. Thanks for all of the inspiration, I cannot wait to get my release purchases in the mail to try and recreate some awesome cards
Time to dig out my bear stamp and dress him up with the great new accessories!
Wow! That’s a bunch of cuteness. AND a homemade tassel. I’m sure mine would never look so impressive. Very professional.
Thank you for the tips for cutting a using glue with the felt! Your ideas and work is absolutely beautiful!
Oh wow! Love the CAS cards! And that inlaid die partridge and pear.
What a wonderfully fun release. Love the light, artsy, fun images.
Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.
What a great release! Such fun cards and inspiration! Thank you!
Based on all of your creations, this looks like such a fun release! I better go check it out! I love the antlers, shades, and red nose on that bear, that’s just killing me!!
I love your very simple card with the tangled Christmas lights – The colors are fantastic! I also really like your felt work with the Partridge in a Pear Tree! Thanks so much for always sharing such nice ideas. I love trying your tips.
I love all the little touches on your cards! And your use of Bear is just so clever every time! My favorite, though, is the color scheme on that striped tag with the little white embossed touches.
These are adorable
Enjoyed your video. The pear/ partridge card is really pretty. Thanks for tips for working with the felt.
Love the partridge in the pear! Such great items in this new release and your Christmas cards are so fun – thanks for sharing!
Your snowman tag is adorable!
You made so many wonderful creations with this terrific new release!
Therese, someone commented earlier ‘fun and joyful’, took the words right out of my mouth! I loved all of your creations but I was totally drawn to your felt partridge card…wow! I am so glad I watched the video because I was going to give those dies a pass but now, of course, I need them. Bear Wear is a must no matter what the season and I love the whimsical spin you gave him here. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my! Your Bear Ware cards are the CUTEST! I love that bear!
