Hello there!! I have a simple project to share that I hope you’ll enjoy. By the way, welcome to JustRite Stampers’ newest Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops – Week 7! Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps! You also might see some projects from the JustRite design team, using some of our newly released CLING stamps! You can find our new collection of cling stamps HERE. This week, the designers joining us are most of the Spellbinders and Caardvarks design teams! So mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 9am Central for great Christmas gift, card & project ideas, starting at the JustRite Inspiration blog!
For my project simply had to make a pair of felt covered, stamped mitten clips. Using JustRite Stampers new cling set called Sparky the Snowman – Cling and Spellbinders Nested Mittens, I had the perfect excuse to try a pair and it was far simpler than I thought. I simply stamped and embossed the mitten then cut it out leaving very little margin. Then using the medium nested Mitten die, I cut two from felt. I re-purposed a hair clip that I found in the bathroom – I don’t know what the "real" name is, but it is metal and is similar to a clothespin in that when you press on both sides of the end, on the other end it opens like a mouth. I cut a small slit at the top of my felt and inserted the hair clip between my two pieces of felt so that in the end I would have paper, clip, felt, felt, clip, paper – the clip is sandwiched between the paper and felt.
I kept my card very simple as it’s intended to hold the clip when giving as a gift. I centered a sentiment using Spellbinders Petite Ovals Small and Fancy Tags then tied a bow. The Mitten Clip simply clips on the side of the card.

Thanks to all for your well wishes, each one brings a breath of hope. I’m at a loss for words over my hubby’s health it’s nothing less than a roller coaster. Knowing we have our faith, friends and the love of family helps us put one foot down in front of the other and keep going. Please continue your prayers if you can, both John and I appreciate it.
Hugs,
Becca
Becca, you have done it again. What a great idea. That clip looks wonderful. So does your card.
Hugs and smiles
I love it….and yet another way to use the Fancy Tags. I had to have them after looking at how you’ve used them on so many cards. I’m in the middle of making a card for a co-worker using them at this time…they are so versatile!
Marian
Wow, I absolutely LOVE this! Gorgeous card and the clip is adorable!

Becca this is a cute as a button!! I may make some of these myself!!
I used to make these a long time ago. I guess with the die cuts it makes it a lot easier than having to cut everything by hand. Mittens might go on my wish list, lol!!
Adorable, simply adorable!! Thanks for sharing this cute little gem Becca!
LOve that mitten!
Thank you for the card and update on your husband. Remember you are never walking alone.
Hi Becca
Cute card. My Mom used to make those mittens and stick them all over the house.
How are you and your husband doing? I am hoping all is well. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.
Such a cute mitten … would be a wonderfully easy gift for teachers or to attach to a gift. You and John are in my prayers … I never quit praying ‘cuz it’s all I can do :) Hugs!

You are truly gifted, and a very special lady.

Praying that things get back on the straight and narrow for you guys!
Becca – I apologise for the e-mail I sent you recently – I am so glad that the content of that mail was totally wrong…I read your blog wrongly….I am so embarrassed about that.
However I do wish your husband a complete recovery to health and strength and you are added to my prayer list….May you both know God’s tender care in the days ahead.
Becca–I’m praying for you and your husband as you go through yet another battle. It is such a comfort to know that God’s grace continues to carry us through. Robyn
Two of my favorite verses that I want to pass on to you! You are such an encourager of others, I pray these will encourage you!!!
Have mercy on me, O God, Have mercy on me. For in you me soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until this dissaster has past. Psa. 57:1 (MESSAGE)
When my soul is in the dumps, I rehearse everything I know about you!! Psa. 42:6 (MESSAGE)
Another wonderful card.
More importantly, I am continuing to keep you both in my prayers.Hugs from Michigan!

You put a smile on my face today! I still have a pair of felt covered mitten clips that were given to me as a gift…50 years ago. Happy Days!
Keeping you and John in my prayers. God bless.
Dear Becca
I would like to share that I feel each and every one of your cards are so so precious and full of love, masterpieces indeed but recently I feel a little bit overwhelmed with that round piece of crystal stones that you put it on, it somehow feels too much and it created a gap for me of where to put attention and felt a bit confusing. With a truly loving heart, secret pal
PS: I think it has to do with, that your precious art is just so perfectly divine and beautiful all by itself.
Hi Becca :o)
Just stopping by to send the very best of wishes and to let you know that you and John are in my thoughts and prayers.
Bless you!
Hugs

Prayers and Loving Wishes things return to normal very soon for you .
My prays are with you and John always. God is always with you and your family. He has given you a wonderful talent to get you through bad times. God bless. Hugs

Becca,
Even though I don’t know you personally, I do feel like I know you somewhat. You have given that of yourself to all of us who faithfully follow your blog and there is deep concern for you, John and your family. We have been lifting you up in prayer and know that God is providing the strength you need to get you through this trial.
With Love in Christ,
