Happy Easter

 Wish you a Peaceful and Happy Easter!

Because I love making stitching cards, I ordered a very useful kit from Erica Fortgens Webshop. The beautiful golden thread is from the same kit. Embroidery on paper is much easier with proper tools, at least in my opinion.

The beautiful pattern for the card is from Ann's Paper Webshop. Now she has a store where the patterns are for download only. I am very happy she decided to have this kind of store! You have the pattern you want in a few minutes.

And a close-up of my Easter card. Wish you all a wonderful and blessed Sunday!

Another Easter card

Hello, dear blogger friends! Welcome to my new followers and thank you for your visits and kind words! 

Is good to find a little time to post again. This time a stitching card for Easter. The pattern and peel off stickers are from Ann's Paper. Hope you like it!

I am very happy my aunt kept her thread from the times she was sewing gobelin, in this way I have some graduated thread! I don't know if is visible enough in the pictures, but for sure looks great in real life:)

 I would like to enter my card to the next challenges:

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge: Easter

Hooked on Craft Challenge: Easter

AnMaCreatief Challenge: Spring

Wish you a beautiful and creative day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today we celebrate Mother's Day! I dreamed for a long time to make this card for my mother, a combination of quilling and stitching. Basket of flowers pattern from Stitching cards, her favorite pattern, but with quilled flowers!

I stitched only the basket and  for flowers and leaves I used 1,5mm hand cut paper strips. I felt that only tiny flowers will go very well with the stitched basket.

I put in this flowers all my love for my mother. Tried to make a special and most beautiful card for her! Hope I managed to do so, even if it could be better here and there.

Hope you enjoyed your visit! Wish you a very Happy Mother's Day!

And bookmarks. I really love doing this cards! All the patterns are from Stitching Cards and they were a gift from my sister in law and my brother! Thanks a lot!!!

P.S. Sorry for the not so good pictures, but I don't get too much natural light after coming from job :( 

Wish you a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, again :)

This time for my father! It was his birthday this week, so I will start with the box I made for him. He loves tea and I thought that a box for keeping it will be the best gift. I used a paper table napkin with tea models for it and applied on the box using the next tutorial. And because he loves reading, I made a bookmark as well:) I can tell you that he loved them, even if the box didn't come out right how I wished to be.

The other projects I was working on are done as well. I will tell you only that for those I made some quilling:)

Wish you a wonderful Sunday!

Happy!

It's a little late, I am sleepy, but I couldn't go to bed and not share with you my joy! I was checking my e-mail and had a great surprise to find out that I won a voucher for Sa margelim! via Scrapper in Romania where I entered the card with stitching and butterfly! I am very happy for it because I missed the challenge of July: paper quilled jewellery from Take a Quill Pill and I was postponing making something because I didn't have the accessories for it. Now I will have everything, only find time and the right mood for it :) Yes, I know that I cannot participate with my work to that challenge anymore, but for me it remain a challenge, any way, like the one I missed on Scrapper in Romania. I love challenges, they really help me take steps forward in discovering my skills for handmade and my creativity! Some of us are born with a great talent and creativity, others with skills to do things and not too much creativity. I am part of the second type, but I believe that everything needs work to progress :)

And to not get too boring with so much words I will share another card made this week.

For the next two weeks I will be missing in action because I have three projects in work. Hope I will be able to share with you at least a sneak-peek before finishing them and pay you regular visits :)

Wish you all a great week and a lot of inspiration! Thanks all of you from being here with your encouraging words!

Cards for all occasions

As you can see stitching is my new passion:) So I made more stitching cards this week. The first two were made last week. Hope that the red one will become a framed picture. It was my first stitching! I don't have yet the right thread for them, but I think they look well enough with the regular thread.

For this one the pattern was with beads, but because I don't have any, I created a model for the flowers. I am sure is nothing new and is a simple one, but I am glad I had an idea which turned out nice :) In the next one I added a little bit of quilling. I hoped that the dragonfly will look more golden, but it turned out a dark yellow:)

Wish you a wonderful Sunday!

Butterfly, quilling and stitching

This is one of the other cards I made last week. I like a lot the new border I used for it! The pattern is from PinBroidery. Hope you like it, too :)

I entered this card to the following challenges:

Scrapper in Romania: Alb+Negru+un strop de turcoaz

Hooked on Craft Challenges: Things with wings!

Make It Monday #52: Anything goes

Happy Birthday!

Today is my dear husband's birthday, so besides a delicious chocolate cake I made a card for him, too. One cup for him, one cup for me, he loves coffee, I love tea :) But important is that we love each other!

Stitching is my new passion :) Since I saw Helen's cards I wished to combine quilling with stitching! And finally I made it! The sentiment is from Pinbroidery and the inspiration for the cups came from Cheryl. For beautiful stitching models you should visit Helen's blog.

Thank you all for the inspiration, for visits and lovely comments! They mean a lot for me! I missed you all!

I made two more cards and a picture which hopefully will get framed sometimes in the near future:) I used the stitching technique for those, too. But I save them for next week:)
