Scallop envelope die needle case

I've been full of cold for over a week now but managed to do a little bit of crafting today.  I've been having a little play with my dies and felt and came up with this little needle case, not what I set out to make!

 I cut the scallope envelope out of purple felt and made 2 little pages from pink felt, very similar to melon mambo. I sewed the melon mambo ribbon around the middle of theoutside of the envelope, it was easy to sew as the ribbon has little holes all away along. I sewed the little pages inside, one went right across the middle, sewed into the side flaps and one was sewn just into one side so it will lift up to get to the page underneath.

I sewed some velcro in for the closure.  To decorate the front flap I die cut a pink felt flower using the funflower die and sewed it on with some more ribbon to hang at the back of it and a  button on the front.  There are a lot of improvements I can make but I'm pleased with my first attempt and it does the job of keeping my deedles safe.

Charity fund raiser for Guisborough Sea Cadets and Daisies 2# die

Hi, sorry for the lack of postings I have been very busy making cards for a fund raiser for the Guisborough Sea Cadets.  Its is tomorrow, (bank holiday monday) at Saltburn Community Centre (http://www.tvvh.org.uk/listing.php?node=49 ) so please pop-in and see me if you are in the area. I will also be doing a card class on the 11th June to raise funds, I will post some information about it when I have a spare five minutes.
Here are some pictures of flowers I made using the Daisies 2# die, card and felt.  The big shot is great because you can cut so many different materials, I have been cutting cork sheets, craft metal, backing card, tin cans and funky foam lately so I will have to take some more pics.

This is a bookmark I made from felt and some satin ribbon to use in my workshop diary, very posh!

Two more felt flowers with buttons on top, I sewed these on for security. The other flower uses whisper white card and I have sponged the edges with rose red and so saffron ink, it is supposed to be a water lily.  The centre is so saffron card crystal effects and dazzling diamonds glitter.
Bye for now
