Wedding Cards

Today and tomorrow I'm going share with you some Wedding Cards that I made.

I kept the card fairly simple. I like the way that they turned out.

Hope you enjoyed looking at today's cards.

Scottish Themed Card

I was recently asked to make a Scottish Theme Card for a female. I had trouble trying to work out what to do. This is what I came up with. I used a Form-A-Lines Thistle Stitching pattern.

Hope you liked looking at today's card.

I'm back....and Trains

Where has the last month gone??? I'm back again after a short break. While I've been away, I have spent quality time with my sister (who was visiting from Townsville), as well as with my family.

I have been busy making things, and I hope to share them with you all shortly.

Over the next few days (maybe a couple weeks) I want to share some projects that I have made over the past.

One of neighbours, Bob, loves trains. So I made these for him. The patterns are available from
Form-A-Lines Stitching Cards. I put them in frames, so that he'll be able to put them up on his wall.

Wonderful World of Pocket Letters

Today, I want to introduce you to the wonderful world of pocket letters. You may ask what are pocket letters?

Well, it's where you fill up the pockets of a 9 pocket trading card protector, with little works of art (like Artist Trading Cards). Then you fill the other side of the pockets with things like stickers, washi tape, buttons, tea bags, etc as well as including a letter. Then you mail it off to your pen pal - or in my case I joined a swap, so I sent mine to my swap partner.

With regards to a theme, it doesn't really matter what you do unless you join a specific themed swap or agree to a specific theme with your swap partner. Some good information that was given to me, was to do something that I'm comfortable in doing.

The size of each pocket is 3.5 inches x 2.5 inches. To get inspiration on pocket letters check out pinterest, there are heaps of ideas there.

The pocket letter I want to share with you today, is a Mother's Day Theme. This was to be my first swap - I had absolutely no idea what to do. So I put my thinking cap on and thought I would stitch 9 little panels using patterns from Form-A-Lines and Stitching Cards to go on to the front of my inserts. So this is what I came up with -

The next few photos show the front panels close up -

 This is the back of the pocket letter -

In order of the pockets the goodies inside are - tag, letter from me, die cuts, flower bling, a tea bag, washi tape, stickers, buttons and some little tags.

These are so much fun to make. I've done another one, that I'm hoping to share with you shortly, have to wait until the recipient receives it before I can share.

Looking forward to sharing more of these pocket letters with you.

Book Card

Today, I have a book card to share with you. This was my first attempt at doing this style of card. I wanted to use the Form-A-Lines Seaside Fun Set designs. I found a verse that I liked and hand stitched that on the inside. I really like the way it has turned out.

Slip Covers

Today I have five slip covers to share with you. The templates for these can be purchased from My Time Made Easy. They are really easy to make. I've used punches for the flowers. The names I have hand stitched on to ovals.

Screen Card

Today I have a screen card to share with you. I stitched the 3 panels using the "Willow Pattern set" from Form-a-line.

I really like the way that it has turned out.

Fan Card

Today, I have a fan card to share with you. The fan is a sticker that use can put on to card and then prick the holes and stitch. I have added beads to this one.

Dresses

If I had a favourite stitching pattern, for some reason it would have to be this dress pattern from Form-A-Lines. It's part of the Fashion set. I love the different colours that you can use to create a different look each time.

Stitched boxes

Today, I have four boxes that I purchased from one of the cheap Bargain stores and I've hand stitched the designs on to them. The designs are from Stitching Cards .

These were really fun to put together.
