Hobbyjournaal 74

I am going to do a naughty thing this month and start a post for the Hobbyjournaal before it is released. For now I will just show you the frontpage and then as soon as it's on sale, I will of course show you my contributions :)

I need to do this as the next post will be an Easter surprise for you all, so this post needs to be first :)

Okay, I am now off to prepare my surprise for you all......watch this space :)

Happy Easter

It's been a while since I posted something new here, and so I thought why not surprise you all with something completely different this month ......a Free Stitching Pattern :)

I am not quite sure how to do this, so for now I suggest you just click on the image, which will open in a new window and then to save pattern, right click the mouse button on image and save on your pc.

This beautiful samplecard was made by Sonni.  Visit her Blog to see more of her beautiful creations.

Happy Stitching :)

Oh my, and yet another month is over. If feels like only yesterday that I put in my last HJ creations, and here I am again. :)
This month was a special one for me.  I was given the honour of putting together the 3D Sheet that comes free with the Hobbyjournaal each month.  The images are from various Artists that sell me their pictures to use for 3D sheets.  I needed something that feels like *spring* :)

One of my  Hobbyjournaal contribution is using  one of these images. I hope you like them.

The flower used on this card is also from one of my 3D Cutting images. The sheet can be purchased here.

My Hobbyjournaal 70 Contributions

The Publishers of the Hobbyjournaal have released a very special December issue this year. The Hobbyjournaal 70 is very unique and different as it is combined with a 3D Image Poster entitled *The Best of 2010*, filled with beautiful  for all those special occasions.  The Designers used images from the poster for their projects in the Hobbyjournaal. This Hobbyjournaal issue is an absolute *must have*  for all those card making fans :)

Curious now?  Here are sample cards of my conbributions.  This Hobbyjournaal will be available in my Webshop soon :)

My Hobbyjournaal no. 69 contributions

The following patterns can all be found in the Hobbyjournaal Issue 69.  This is my first contribution after a 1 year break, and I must say I am happy to be back.  :)  Seeing as Hobbydots are the lastest craze at the moment, I decided to make a Dotpattern from a Stitching pattern.  Hope you like the results :)

Card Embroidery Books 1 & 2

I am proud to introduce to you my newest Books, Card Embroidery with Ann's Paper Art Book 1 and 2.

Contains the complete alphabet,  including  8 coordinating border patterns and 2 pages of easy cutting 3D images, for all occasions.

This second edition book contains simply borders, corners, motif images and a complete set of numbers with their own complimentery patterns, plus 3D images including bells, candles, teddies and Christmas ornaments.

My newest creations

I had a busy week making these new Creations for my Webshop.  Wasn't sure whether I wanted to stick to summer, or start with Christmas, so I simply did a bit of both :)

Here are the results :)

Hobbydots

Nothing like trying to give myself a break from dotting to find myself dotting something else, but this time with Hobbydots.  :)  One could say a *dot is a dot* right? :)

What I like about the Hobbydots is that I can use alot of my old stitching patterns for them, like the card I show here. 

This Stitching Pattern was used on one of my previous 3D Stitching Sheets.

And this is the Hobbydot card I made with the same pattern :)

Here is another pattern and card I made with Hobbydots.

When I design my Stitching Patterns, I love the challenge of coming up with something different.

When I recieved my *Flowers and Brads* order I myself faced a challenge and  wondered what I could make with the big flowers included with the sets.

Well here are the results. I am now happy to introduce my new Multi-Purpose Stitching Pattern.  In all honesty though, after making 2 cards with it, I was already out of ideas and so I decided to ask my Forum Team  to play around with it, and oh my, what a surprise I got :)

See for yourself how many ways in which this single pattern can be used to create cards for all those special occasions.

This pattern can be purchased in my Webshop.

New card from an old pattern

I honestly don't think I have done this before, stitched one of my own patterns twice,

but there is a first time for everything :) 

I used one of the patterns published in my Hobbydol Nr. 15 , called

Card Stitching with Ann's Paper Art. I made a couple of changes to the original pattern.

The 3D image I used on this card is from Romak.

You can see the original card, and all other cards from the Hobbydols here.
