Silk foam poppy

Hi, I've made another video tutorial. This time it's a silk foam poppy flower.

A few weeks ago I made one in orange but the video is a red and purple poppy.

The silk foam, foamiran and stamens I used are from 14 craft bar.

The poppy petal template I found here.

Wedding card

Mint is one of my favorite colors. One of my walls in my craft room is mint (and perfect for photo backgrounds). I've made a wedding card in mint, pink and gold, a perfect combination of colors.

All the flowers you see on this card are handmade using foamiran and stamens from 14 craft bar. The heartshaped chipboard is also from 14 craft bar shop.
For the pink flower I used organza foam and colored it with oil pastels.
The gold flowers are made with white 0.8 foamiran and painted with gold paint.
I used different flowers dies I have in my stash.

The paper I used is from Mintay papers called Birdsong. It has mint, pink and gold in it.

There are also applique elements on this card, which are from the lovely shop of Allmacraft, one of my favorite webshops.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Fairy card

Hello, today I'm sharing a fairy card I've made with foamiran flowers on it.

How about those colors?
I've made all the flowers using foam and stamens from 14 craft bar. I used blue and purple foam and colored it with oil pastels. I've cut the flowers using different flower dies I have in my stash.

The fairy chipboard is also from 14 craft bar webshop, the brand is scrapiniec . Behind the fairy scene I glued a piece of printed out digital paper from this Etsy shop. 

The background papers are from uhk gallery, also available at 14 craft bar.

On the leaves I glued little blue micro beads.

Finally the sentiment is from an itsy bitsy  stamp set and perfect for this card.

This card turned out as I planned in my head. Sometimes it's difficult to get the result you would like. This card was on my mind for weeks but I couldn't get it together the way I wanted. After a few weeks it did and I'm happy with the result.

Thanks for stopping by!

Exploding Box with 3D house and foamiran flowers

In December I played in the Lemoncraft challenge and was lucky enough to won the first price.

I ordered some great stuff from there online shop and once it arrived I decided to  make a exploding box using some of the things I won.

The paperpads I used to decorate the exploding box are from Lemoncraft called "Bird song"and "Just love me".

I've decorated the lit with foamiran flowers. I used all kinds of dies I have in my stock. The foamiran is from 14 craft bar. I also added ribbon, pompom balls, leaves and a little key.

As this is an exploding box for a new house, I placed a cardboard house inside. 

The cardboard house is also from lemoncraft and I painted it with pink, blue and white acrylic paint.

Isn't it cute?

Here is a top view once the lit of the box is removed.

I made the saying and words on my computer and printed them on white cardstock.

I also added painted chipboard bricks.

I put glossy accents on the little wood veneer heart.

And another key, also painted after I covered it with gesso.

On my you tube channel you can watch a short video of this exploding box. 

Here is the link:

Gift box with foamiran flowers

Hi, today I'm sharing this gift box with foamiran flowers.

Before I start a project I often look on Google or Pinterest for a nice colorscheme and for this project I used this beautiful mint and peach color scheme.

I started by folding the gift box. It's a box with window from 14 craft bar  and perfect for sending your big foamiran cards, but can also be decorated.
Then I covered the lit with gesso and applied crumpled mint tissue paper on it with another layer of gesso (I taped off the window).
After the gesso dried I glued on the foamiran flowers and paper leaves with my hot glue gun.

All the foamiran, flowers centres and stamens used are from the 14 craft bar online shop.
I used various dies to cut out the foamiran flowers.

Inside the box I used the same tissue paper that is on the lit.

I do like the color combination on this box.

That's it for me today. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.

Hugs, Henriette.

Wreath with peacock colored foamiran flowers

Making foamiran flowers is very addictive. I had just finished my bell cups project and was already planning a new project. I wanted to make something in peacock colors because these colors are so beautiful together. A wreath is what I came up with. It's a small wreath, about 15 cm and made from moss.

I started with making the poinsettias. For this I used the dies, stamens and foamiran from 14 craft bar. I used 3 shades of blue foamiran.

Other flowers are made of green foamiran and the turquoise ones are colored with soft pastels.

I added feathers, leaves and little Christmas baubles (Hema shop)  to fill in the empty spots.
On the branches I glued beautiful metalized micro beads.

The wreath turned out very nice and I can't wait to put it up in a few weeks for Christmas time.

I hope you like it and are inspired by it. Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriette.
