Cute hedgehog

I know, I know it has been a while since I last uppdated my blogg. But I am now back with more cards to show.

Wedding cross-stitch

A good friend of mine got married last year and this is the cross-stitch I made for them.

Baby girl ;-)

My daughter´s friend Ella who just turned 4 just got a baby sister and this is the card I made for her. I have used the bindis, something I just can´t resist using in my cards. Enjoy!

For a little princess

Been out of action I know. Just been plain busy with life in general. Nevertheless, here is a card I made not long ago for my dear daughter´s friend, Ella. She just turned 4 and I thought this Magnolia stamp would do perfect for her. I have used pearls on her cheeks and the alphabet... The pink ribbon bow I bought while I was in Malaysia.

Heart in a box

This is another card using the paper-piecing technique. Topped up with some bindis again.

Burning hearts

This technique used here is called paper-piecing.... A method of stitching together pieces of fabric to create a patchwork quilt. I have again used the bindis to top up the card.

Puppy love

This little puppy is stitched first and then sticked to the card. Topped up with some bindis which I have a whole lot of. ;-)

Blackwork with beads

This is my fav.... Stitched the heart first and then stitched the red beads to it. Quick and easy...

Quick card

Ahhhhhhhhh hedgehogs. Love them all. I have a whole range of bindis in my collections. They are so easy to use in my cards. Try them. You won't regret. ;-)

Card on the go...

I just love this hedgehog stickers. Especially when I need an instance card..

Birthday Boy

Harjeevan, my daughter needed a card for her friend´s birthday celebration and this is the card made for him.

Hedgehog

I was in a hurry to make a quick card... bought a bunch of hedgehog stickers at the exhibition long ago. I used the bindis as decorations here. A bindi (from Sanskrit bindu, meaning "a drop, small particle, dot") is a forehead decoration worn in South Asia[1] and Southeast Asia. Enjoy.

Friends forever

Made this birthday card for a dear friend of mine, Linda. Love the paper, bought it from www.skapahobby.se

Wedding Bells

This is the second card ordered by a colleague of mine. I just love this Tilda and Edwin stamp.

Red wristies

I have already made a few of the same model. I am learning how to make my own patterns. This is my last wristies of the same sort.

Mrs.Beaton Wristies

Oh, how I just love my Mrs Beaton Wrist warmers. I was determined to learn how to knit this wristies. I came in touch with www.mariagarner.se and since she gives private courses, I took an hour lesson from her and whalla...... my very first Mrs. Beaton. I can't wait to wear them in Winter. I am already in process of making a second one. Will add the pictures once they are done. ;-)

Wristies without beads

Wristies for my mother-in-law

She just loves green. Here I have knitted with black beads. I got one wristies knitted by a friend of mine for my mother-in-law and she can't live without it now. So I was really delighted that I could knit one for her and she was sooooooo happy with it.

Brown and lime...

...my favourite colours. The lime beads used here are the japanese glass beads. My third pair.

Wristies

This is my second one accomplished. Just love the black and the red beads. Wristies are taking the world by storm with people wearing Wristies for all sorts of reasons. Mostly people like them because they just help them keep warmer.

Hooked on knitting

I have always told myself that I would never ever learn how to knit. Hmmm.....well believe it or not, a working colleague of mine talked me into just "dropping by" where she had classes and I got hooked right away. This is my very first I have ever knitted, a wrist warmer with beads. I have always liked wearing wrist warmers and now finally I could make one myself and am very proud of it. Thanks to my colleague, Annelie.

My third attempt

The "home sweet home" was cross stitched and then stitcked on the canvas, made it for Agnes for her new apartment.

Canvas nr 2

This is my second attempt on canvas for a dear friend of mine, Petra. That little heart and the ribbon bow is cross stitched and chipboards used here are bought from Panduro Hobby here in Stockholm.

Canvas

I have always wanted to give it a go with canvas and this is the result. The paper used here is from Karen Fosters collections. I have first cross stitched the "Home sweet home" and the horse shoes and then sticked it on the canvas. This was a gift to my ex neighbour who just moved into their new place.

Ice-cream card

This card is certain to bring a smile to anyone´s face. I stitched the cone and back with iron-on interfacing and then sticked it to the card.

Oriental fan

This elegant oriental inspired design is just perfect for any occasion. The fan is cross stitched first and then attached to the card with preety coin charms and beautiful papers. All from the Stitch & craft magazine.

Stylish wardrobe card

The party dress was cross stitched first and then designed this super stylish wardrobe card for a fashion-conscious that is sure to flatter anyone´s mantelpiece!

Magical fairy card....

....completed with shimmering 3D wings. The butterflies were cross-stitched.

Luxurious chocolate card

Who could resist this luxurious box of chocolates. I know my mouth´s watering just to look at them. The bow is cross-stitched and back with iron-on interfacing.

The glamourous handbag

This stylish card is the perfect girly treat! Just love the embroidered high heels shoes. The luxury pearl effect is the perfect touch to this handbag card.

Floral Card

This was my first attempt to combining cross stitch and papercraft. It was a free gift that came along with the Stitch & craft magazine from UK. I just love that magazine.
