I find these folded pictures really great – but somehow I didn’t have the heart to make it yet ;-)
Somewhen…

How to Press Flowers, Leaves and Herbs
I already wrote about drying flowers in the microwave and about flower pounding, here at how to press flowers, leaves and herbs you can find general and comprehensive tips, there are some that I want to try out ;-)
And what to do then with the pressed flowers and leaves?
That is what I did:
On the picture you see a little ‘piece of art’ that was meant originally as a card but is much to time-consuming for this: it is a Clematis petal pressed in an old phone book, embellished with self-made decorative paper and hand embroidery.
Here I’ve pressed a leek leaf in an old phone book, too, and embroidered it.
I don’t know what kind of leaf this is, but I combined it with self-made decorative paper, self-made ‘papyrus’ and hand embroidery.

Sew A Spring Sprout
This sewn wall hanging would bring me good-humoured through snowy and rainy days – I really should make it for myself and put it on my wall ;-)
Floral Letter Cliparts
Doesn’t this ‘A’ look great?
And where the ‘A’ comes from, you can find muuuch more :)
I don’t know yet what I will do with it apart from very personal Birthday cards, but I’m sure that I’ll come up with some idea ;-))

Miniature Marble Stamps
The people have soo great ideas: the miniature marble stamps are nothing else than transparent glass pebbles, flat on one side where she glued on some cut craft foam: fast and effective.
And beautiful ;-)
You can easily glue on little filled and empty squares and then stamp patterns from crochet or cross stitch embroidery charts ;-)
And if you don’t like to stamp then you can make a beautiful ring from your glass pebble ;-)

Paper Cutting
Whether you find the picture beautiful is a matter of taste (she made others that I find more beautiful), but the instruction surely is helpful if you have similar ideas.

Slightly Different Valentines Cards
I really like these cards: ‘cuttle’ is the name of the animal and sounds like ‘cuddle’ ;-)
You can send them definitely not only on Valentine’s Day ;-)
