essentials by ellen old spool & thread friends

There are fabulous new Essentials by Ellen stamps & dies coming to the Ellen Hutson shop this Friday with sneak peeks all week while you wait!

Today I've got a silly card for you with the new Old Spool stamps and Thread Friends dies...

I think the dog bobbin looks adorable cut from kraft cardstock with a few black accents and wrapped with embroidery floss.

TIP: I didn't have the color of floss I wanted so I used a Copic ink refill to dye white floss. I blotted some of the floss with a clean paper towel before the ink had dried to get a variegated look.

For the little ball I just wrapped a circle die with floss.

The sentiment is from the Old Spool set and it just makes me giggle.

And the cute bobbins from the Thread Friends set are actually functional too! Look how organized I'm becoming, with my floss on bobbins and my bobbins on a binder ring.

Stop by tomorrow for another EBE reveal!

Hugs!
