Stitching stickers are used for corners in this Kanji character card. I designed the character for stitching and worked it in blue metallic thread on green card. The tassel is created using more of the blue thread and all the elements are mounted on cream cardstock.
These clear stitching stickers were placed on a green background and stitched with green metallic thread. Green holographic stickers are used as accents in the medallion.
The stitched stickers are mounted on cream cardstock.

I borrowed this illustration from my d-i-l's blog, turned it into a 3D card, backed it with plaid to mimic her blog background, and added a text sticker and silver peel-offs.
This made a perfect card for the family's house-warming.

This 3D illustration with a tile background works up so beautifully. I gave it a background of scrapbook paper and a vellum text sticker to finish it off.
Isn't this sunflower illustration just the definition of summer? I mounted it on dotted scrapbook paper and added a text sticker at the bottom.
One of my own patterns was used as a challenge on one of the lists I belong to. Several ladies stitches it up using their own interpretation. This is my work-up of the design, which I have done in at least 8 different ways.
This stitching design from an online friend was open to interpretation due to the minimalist layout. I combined colors and used some left-over serendipity squares as a centerpiece.
I love stitching up this pattern that I adapted from an old string-art pattern from the 70's. I play with the colors every time I do it up and it reminds me of all the 'painted ladies' in the local area.
I brought out the fishbones rubber stamp again to make this card. I found that I had this fish hook sticker so I hooked it up.
I used the same plaid background as last time.

I brought out the face again and this time added a tulip photograph instead of the sticker used before. The text is a sticker.
Instead of using this little corner pocket as designed I used it as a corner element on this calendar illustration. The borders of the cranberry cardstock are cut unevenly and serve as a background for a greeting sticker. Green cardstock is used to bring our the background of the leaves.
Another calendar illustration has been double-matted with a large border at the bottom to feature the puffy acrylic text sticker.
A watercolored stamping of pansies was the jumping-off point for this collage card. Postage stamps echo the theme introduced by the 'postcard' element. Vellum stickers of pansies frame out the bottom border and a plastic text sticker finish it off.
This card folds in from both sides, deeply from the left and narrower from the right. I got the bird illustration from a calendar and mounted on yellow to match the bird.
These two cards are more of the 'caught in crystal' techniques with reinkers. I made these backgrounds while doing the technique for the A-Z challenge but sued different colors and stamp.

This pattern was stitched up in just two colors which lend this card a 1970s feel. I remember clothing, curtains, and furniture with these sinple color combinations.
A calendar of waterfalls yielded this illustration which I trimmed with scrapbook border and square stickers. Mounted on dark blue cardstock to match a text sticker which is backed with a sky blue card with rounded edges.
One of my groups put up this challenge - everyone using the same pattern. We all stitched it up with different interpretations. Lisa Burns is the pattern designer.
I took a recent opportunity to re-stitch this harpsichord from my own pattern. It uses bugle beads for the slide adjustments and seed beads for the string adjustment keys. I used metallic threads to make the strings liik like metal and brown thread for the edge to suggest wood construction.
This medallion by Fred-She-Said was fun to put together. The colors are very candy-like and I decided to make a valentine of it.
