a466

Pattern a466 combined with Wekabo sheet 414 this just has to be one of the loveliest combinations to date.......

....complete with a few silver peel offs and red and green Christmassy mount.

a710 & hj56

With these two patterns I decided not to use the standard 3d images but to raid a selection of sequins, beads, peel offs, ribbon and other bits from my stash.

Pattern a710

a464 & a465

OK, yet again my scanner has decided to add shadows to my cards but hopefully you can imagine the brightness of these two images.

The first card using Ann's Paper Art pattern a464 combined with Marianne 3DHM006 makes a perfect children's christmas card.



Again I went for the blues with this card using a combination of Ann's pattern a 465 and Wekabo sheet 560.

a460

This pattern was the CardStitching webshop's October FREEBIE and I straight away knew that I wanted to combine it with this fantastic new Wekabo sheet. I just love the blues and the final addition of beads makes a perfect finishing touch.

a289 & a314

Both these patterns are from the Ann's Paper Art archives but I was so pleased with the results when they were combined with some of the latest 3D sheets.

This image Studiolight STAPSB22 is just sooo cute and when combined with the simplicity of pattern a314 - the finished result was just perfect. I just finished off the mount with a silver peel off border and snowflakes.



For the card below I used pattern a289 which I combined with a 3d Sheet by Wekabo. As usual, it is hard to scan the colours correctly, but this is a really striking card.

Ann's Paper Art Forum Pattern

This pattern is from Ann's Paper Art forum. I combined it with Reddy Die-Cut Florals Sheet 4 and mounted on mint green card. This was then finished off with light green self-adhesive flat backed pearls.

a709

Apologies for the lack of stitching posts this month everyone..... eyesight difficulties have made everything a bit of a nightmare.... hopefully everything will be sorted soon.

On a more positive note, I just love pattern a709 and couldn't resist combining it with some backing paper from my stash.

The image was stitched and then cut out using my nesties and layered on a coordinating card. The whole ensemble was them completed with some bright pink self adhesive flat backed pearls.

a455

Stitching pattern a455 was stitched using metallic threads and combined with images from the Dufex Poinsettia sheet


The images above was layered on green and pink card and completed with baby pink flat backed adhesive pearls.

The image below was mounted on gold metallic card and completed with gold peel offs.

a452

Using September's CardStitching Freebie, I combined this Ann's Paper Art Pattern a452 with 3d Sheet Nel van Veen 2313. The stitching was then layered on red card and completed with a few silver snowflake peel offs.

a453 & a458

I so love these fresh coloured images and thought they combined beautifully with these patterns as we head (albeit a little warmly) towards Autumn.

I have to admit when taking my youngest daughter to nursery in the morning, we both thoroughly enjoy jumping through the piles of leaves which are now beginning to build up against the church hall.



Both Ann's Paper Art patterns a458 and a453 are combined with images from 3d Sheet Voorbeeldkaarten 2151.

They were then layered on coloured card and, as a finishing touch, I added gold graduated sized pearls to one card and punched leaf shapes to the other.

a381_b and a250

Both of these patterns were combined with a wonderful Push Out Duo set. The bird image was mounted on green card wtih added prima flowers and silver 'bling' from my stash. The 'Santa' card was punched using an EK Success corner punch.

I have to admit, this range of 3D sheets is probably one of my favourites. They are very sweet, and with a little bit of sellotape stuck on the back of the very fiddly bits so that they don't tear, the finish image is just adorable.



Using Ann's Paper Art Pattern a448 and threads from Yarn by Chrissie 1523, I then coordinated it with one of the Some Bunny To Love Studiolight range (STAPSB21).

a449

OK, I admit to having had a bit of a Christmas run this month. I blame it on all the lovely new 3D sheets which are now becoming available.




This card was made with a more traditional theme in mind. Using 3D sheet Nel Van Veen 2313, I stitched Ann's Paper Art pattern A449 using a threads from Joy Yarn 0101 and combined with Christmas Rice Beads. Finally mounted with a dark green bazzill card.
