Say it's Stitched

I had to make a stitched card for my swap this month. I almost got to the point of buying some stitching patterns when I remembered I had some stitched toppers from when a previous swap sent me into a minor obsession with stitching designs on paper. This is one of the four cards I made with the toppers I'd had hidden away. My cardstock is so old that I didn't even know I had it. I have loads of coloured cardstock and yet mostly used white as my base. 

The gems are old stash, DP is an offcut but not sure which pack, and I've dug out my sakura pens for a little faux stitching. The crochet lace and flowers are handmade, and although not forgotten stash, are beginning to turn into a hoard. I think my stitching patterns were from CraftsUprint. They have loads on there anyway, so worth looking if you fancy giving it a go.

Waste Not Wednesday - Challenge 19

Here are the other cards I made with my Stitched Toppers, 

wasn't going to risk forgetting them again lol.

These will go into my card stash,

and no doubt be forgotten lol. 

I think the paper is an offcut from a 12x12 Kay & Co pack. 

The Papers on these next two are out of the Vintage Pack I had from Sarah at Craft All Day.

My favourite papers at the moment, I think both of these are Kay & Co, but there is is mixture of trade names amongst them, and they are all good quality 6.x.6.  

 Fimo flowers and a key using molds from Mold Muse. 

Birds In Her Hair Ribbon Bookmark

Another project for my Daughter. She's not well enough to read now, so until she is this will hang in her room for her. She paid for this digi (and another in the set) from A Day For Daisies, Birds In My Hair Series. She also bought the mold that the fimo flower is made from....for my recent Anniversary. 

I made this to join in with Linda's Bookmark Challenge at Creative Harmony. You can make either a ribbon bookmark or a corner bookmark - for which you'll find a tutorial at SplitCoastStampers here.

The recipe is Pink, Black (or grey) and white; and include a ribbon or a bow.

Anniversary Waltz

This is an Anniversary Card for my sister (and Hubby of course) who celebrate the end of next month...and yes it's made already.......whether or not I actually get it in the post on time is another matter of course. 

My Image is from Delicious Doodles, another of those I won with ATC's & Cards with Attitude. Teri at DD gave her permission for me to add the music background with my photoshop. 

The blurred object on the sentiment is a fimo hummingbird. In shimmering pearl white, it's just not showing up too well. 

 My crocheted lace trim.

Won Top 3 at 4 Crafty Chicks ..Yippie!!

Easely Love, Love, Love.

Been A good while since I posted, I've still been crafting, bit by bit, but not had my head on straight enough to post...hopefully I'll manage to make sense!!

I made this Anniversary card for friends, a lovely couple. It had been a while since I'd made a white on white and I enjoyed making this one. Sorry the images are so fuzzy...you just can't get the staff now-a-days lol. It's a double easel card. 

 Image from a set by Penny Black. Called 'A Good Catch'. I stamped in black and embossed in clear, was a bit of a mistake as made it difficult to colour some of the tiny parts with my pencils....I used Lyca. I'm still not very good with them, but persevering. I dry embossed the backgrounds and then inked the raised edges and wet embossed those. I also went over them with mica spray.....I wanted it lovely and shimmery.

I found the sentiment online. Two great sites for verses and sentiments are Quote Garden and  Imag-n-ation. Imag-n-ation also sell great digi images amongst other things. 

My flowers are crocheted, I've put some of my lovely mother of pearl buttons as centres. 

 I have a little lift up flap for space to put my personal message, with another little quote, I quite like this one and thought it went well with the image. 

  The letters are made with pearl fimo, I used fimo cutters, and I've used a mica spray over the top.
