Color Challenge

For this week Leslie one of the other designers of the Come and Get it Challenge, came up with this color challenge.

which I think are very pretty spring colors, and since it is Easter next weekend, figured I would do an easter card. I have had this pattern for stitched cards for a long time and have only used it once before this, so I thought it was a perfect choice for this challenge.
I used silk threads to embroider the design and added nailheads to the design and stamped Happy Easter on the finished stitched design. I will also enter this into the HSS Challenge, which is Easter projects
Thanks for Looking and have a great Sunday

Embroidery with Beads on Cards

Hi Everyone, well as a lot of my friends know I don't only do stamped cards. I love to do any type of card that is out there, this is one of the types that I love to play with. I also do 3d pictures, as well as just embroidery, along with every once in a while I'll do some parchment craft. That I've not done in quite some time, I'm thinking the new year I will play with it again, anyway, here is a sample of one of the embroidery with beads cards.
Thanks for looking.

Embroidery on Paper

Hi All, I've been doing some more embroidery cards, haven't done any in a while, but I love them so decided I should do a few more of them. Anyway the first are carnations, and the second a rose trellis. added a bit of extras to the cards, and I like the results.
Thanks for looking.

Jingle Bells

This is another of the beaded embroidery cards I've done. It also falls into the challenge over at the winter wonderland blog. I've been doing a lot of them lately and as fast as I can make them they are being sold, so I guess I'd better keep making them.

More Beaded Embroidery cards

Here are a couple more of the beaded embroidery cards that I've put together, I've been doing the embroidery at work and then when I come home I put the cards together, The angel one I think takes the longest to do, but does turn out pretty. I have one customer who wants 5 of them I think proabably one for each of her daughters as she does have 5. I've got 4 done so far, so will do another one tomorrow and then I'll finish putting them together as cards for her. Thanks for looking.

Beaded Embroidery

Hi Everyone, This is a Christmas card I've done today, The main image is an embroidery pattern using seed beads and bugle beads. After doing this I mounted it on red card stock embossed with the petals a plenty folder found in our mini catalogue and then used the Merry Christmas stamp from Teeny Tiny wishes set and cut out with word window punch and then the modern label punched out in the green, add some green satin ribbon to finish off the card.
Thanks for looking.

Christmas Angel

Here's a card I did, that the angel is embroidered on red in gold, then I used the big shot to cut out and then added it on a background I made and then used the modern label punch and the word window punch to make the label for it and put it all together. Really haven't done much this week as I've been bothered by the arthritis in my hands, it's actually the tendons that are inflamed and cause my fingers to lock up, which is why this is the first post since the challenge for stamptacular.

Thanks for looking.

Embroidered Ornament

Hi Everyone, I love to combine different techniques I've learned over the years into my card making, so this is a christmas card I just finished. The ornament is a sticker that is gold and clear shimmery and then the holes are for embroidery, so that's what I've done with it. The stamping on the edge is the sparkle and shine wheel out of the new mini catalogue which you can order from Tomorrow. there are lots of cool things in it, come back and take a look at it then.
I used gold pen around the edges of the red and finished it off with an embossed sticker greeting. The ornament stickers and embossed greetings can be purchased at www.ecstasycrafts.com Thanks againd for looking

Birthday Drums

This is a card I made today for a customer of mine who asked for an embroidery card of drums for her son's birthday. Well the embroidery was a bit more difficult as I didn't have a pattern for this one, so I had to make it up myself. So that was time consuming but considering that I thought I did a pretty good job.
Materials used.
Silver and Gold thread by Gutterman
Cardstock: Royal Blue, White, Black and Navy from stash
Punch: music note
Stamp: Happy Birthday from Many Mower set Stampin Up.
DP: From It Takes Two

Magnolia Spring Tilda

This is spring Tilda and she was colored with watercolor pencils.
The background for Tilda was a applegreen square done with an embroidery pattern in a multi colored metalic thread, the blue circle in the middle was cut using my cuttlebug and nestabilities. She is placed on with dimensionals and in the corner are punched stars with hot fix silver stars in the middle. I had fun doing her, I just bought her and two other Tilda's to play with. This card was also done for the cute card blog challenge .
Thanks for looking.
