Flourgirl, I missed your card!

It is beautiful! How on earth do you manage to stitch cards? I presume they come with small holes in?

I noticed Rainmac has done some beautiful ones aswell!

CT...Im not supprised she was really pleased they are lovely
Flourgirl yor stitching are is lovely and I love the paper you used

Rusty...I think there are plenty of tiger sets on my photobucket...either in the Disney section or the Pooh section. You could just use the first large image. Or the letters in the Pooh section
In Tiger there is G. I. N and S

Happy Birthday Melissa :bdaycake: :beer: :beer:

Beautiful, really beautiful Can I please ask you a question, do you use embroidery thread and if so how many strands. It looks so delicate so I am assuming one or two strands? Also what do you use to prink the holes because your holes look smaller than the ones my pokey tool makes. Ta x

You make the holes yourself and then do the stitching, it's fab seeing a design come together. I've only done a couple but would like to do more becasue the effect is lovely.

How about decoupage Tigger?

Here is a link to a nice decoupage sheet on ebay.

Also Handy Hippo have some cute sticker sheets with tigger on them and you could stick them to card and cut round them then have them peeping round the number....

Just noticed these are out of stock at the moment but you may be able to get them elsewhere.

They have them in stock here:-

Hope this helps.

Its the last day of my week off work and I`m feeling sad as I can`t craft when I want to . On the plus side I`m off to Newcastle 2moro for a shopping trip with my Mum and am hoping to pick up some crafty bargains. I need to get some more hammered card ( its my fav) and I`m also on the look out for some mulberry paper to incorporate into a few wedding card design ideas.

Still thinking bout Tigger cards!

This image is great and is free clip art!


I would print off a few of these then using a build up technique make parts of tigger stand out more. You could cut the tummy out and the nose and attach using mini foam pads.
