Congratulations Card


Oh Dear, is she sick, i hear you ask, this card is not stitched, well, for once i thought i would try something a little different, these are Hobbydots, they are little peel-off stickers in different size dots, curves, teardrop shapes and borders, and i have to admit, i really enjoyed making this card, for me it really was something different, as i am so lost without my needle, thread, and patterns, you can buy these hobbydots from cardstitching.co.uk and i can definitely recommend them,  go on, give them a try, you know you want to, i know i am looking forward to making more cards with these little dots, but i am still a stitch-a-holic, and that won't change.

Birthday Card

This card was made for a very special friend, who has been more help to me than she will ever realise, the pattern is from Anns' New Book Card Embroidery Christmas 2, i decided to stitch little sequin flowers instead of stars to the border and i have als stitched Ann's paper art Cat, Pattern No a041 to the centre, i really loved making this card.

Gift Card

I made this little gift card for my dear friend Frances, i put little tea light candles in the box.

Xmas Card

Again i have stitched Ann's paper art pattern No a499, this time i have used rice beads and added a Forever Friends Santa, it always amazes me hoe the same pattern can look so different when stitched in a different colour.

Xmas Card

This pattern is Ann's Paper art  pattern No a0499, the poinsetta is a piece of material that i have cut out and mounted onto a piece of card, i think i must like this pattern i have stitched moretimes than i realised.

Birthday Card

My Neighbour asked me to make a birthday card with an octopus, i was not sure if i could do this, but after searching through my patterns i found this one, i was not looking forward to stitching it,  it is stitched in blue and purple metalic thread, i used Ann's paper art border pattern from the new stitching book as i thought it needed something else, but i decided to stitch the stars as bubbles, i then mounted it onto blue holographic card and mounted it onto white card and added a few peel -off dots to finish.

Xmas Easel Card

This pattern is from the new book Card Embroidery with Ann's Paper Art, Christmas 2,  which i won in Ann's Forum Contest, the two new books are a must have if you love card embroidery, the books also include the decoupage which i have used on this card, i  glittered the flames on the candles also the candle wax and the centre of the flowers,  then mounted it onto gold glitter paper and then onto a xmas green pearlescent card, i added a few peel-offs and stars to finish.
