It's Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas!
It's such a relief this day is finally here! I've been practically bursting to share today's project!
I am absolutely giddy with excitement over these sweet little stuffies I made for loved ones using Unity Stamps! eeeek!
Once that lightbulb moment happened, I could not stop seeing possiblities and creating more of them.

I stamped the images onto felt, using regular inks & white craft ink on the darker felt shades. I then cut each piece out, assembled their layers and sewed them together. I simply used thread to add the eyes and details, then stuffed them with cotton. If you are familiar with paper piecing you'll have no problem recreating these. The Snow, Snow Cute man has bead eyes, wire arms and a cardinal fashioned from a red pompom with a seed bead beak.
The Abominable Snowman has faux fur and an arsenal of pompom snowballs. I'm working on a different version of him! Stay tuned to a future post!
The Puppy is a recreation of my own dog, Koni & the brown "Loyally Yours" dog looks like my dog, Charlie. :)
The Penguin was made for a special needs toddler, I lined the tummy with a bit of plastic from a water bottle so it would make crinkling sounds. :)

These were perfect stocking stuffers for my kids and baby granddaughter. The teddy bear fits her nearly 1-year-old hands perfectly. They can be used as ornaments too, simply sew a loop on the back for the hanger.
I'm so proud of these! I could go on and on. They are simply adorable and truly limitless! I have ideas for so many more!


Here's a closer peek. Note, I am a novice at sewing. :)

Here is a list of images I used:
Cuddlebug Teddy Bear
Abominable Snowman 
Snow, Snow Cute
Cuddlebug Puppy
Cuddlebug Penguin 
Cuddlebug Fox
Loyally Yours
