Flower card for Craft Box UK

 Hello crafty friends, so nice of you to visit my blog!

Today I'm sharing a card made with the beautiful "Come Home"collection by Anna Hersom.

This collection consists of paper pads, ephemera and stickers designed by Craft Box UK owner Anna Hersom and it's only available at Craft Box UK

I love the gorgeous colors of teal and mint green. 

Here's my card.

I made a slim line card this time.

It measures 10,5 x 21,5 cm (4 x 8,5 inches).

I've added lace, a paper doily, fussy cut elements, resin flowers and 

handmade foamiran flowers and leaves.

The blue foamiran flowers are made using white foamiran which I colored with 

oil pastels until it matched the papers. 

I used flowers dies from Crealies.

I also made white foamiran flowers, tiny blue flowers and green leaves.

The sentiment is made in word with a beautiful font.

More inspiration can be found in the Facebook groups Craft Boxers and 

Crafting with Anna Hersom. You're are welcome to join these groups.

The "Come home"collection can be found here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Spellbinder Amazing Paper Grace die of the month November

 Hello, it's the first week of a new month and I'm here with the Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace November die set.

This month the set is Christmas related and it has no less then 21 cutting dies!

It's a 3D pop up vignette poinsettia sleigh.

Here's my make:

I choose a gold and light blue color combo for my 3D sleigh.

I think blue and gold work fabulously together.

The flowers are made from white foamiran.

I made 12 flowers in total but there a 3 different kinds.

Four are just plain white and four are light blue

 (I coloured the white foamiran with a baby wipe and blue chalks).

The other four have an imprint of the veins. You can achieve this by coloring the veins on the die before cutting the foam. You can use inks or soft pastels to color the die.

For the evergreen I used olive colored foamiran.

I really love this 3D sleigh. 

It makes a wonderful Christmas decor piece.

More inspiration can be found on the Spellbinders and

Amazing Paper Grace blog.

Spellbinders March Clubs Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog and the Spellbinders March Clubs blog hop.

The Spellbinders team created beautiful project with all the March kits.
You can find all the kits here:
https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/clubs/

 I'm sharing my second project with this months
 Amazing Paper Grace die set.

In my precious post I shared a card (you can find it here) and now I'm showing you
another way to use the dies namely to decorate an explosion box.

The box is from Goat box, it's pre-cut and you only have to fold it.

I decorated the box with yellow cardstock and spring paper from Creative depot.

For the lid I used the frame die and the circle die from the set.

The flowers are cut from different colors foamiran sheets using the flower dies.

I used pink, white, yellow foamiran and because I didn't have the right color blue I took some white foamiran and colored it with a blue oil pastel.

(I have a few foamiran flower making tutorials on my you tube channel).

On the inside of the box I used the corner die and also the frame and circle dies.

In the middle of the circles I glued yellow flatback pearl buttons.

In the center I placed a half styrofoam ball and glued many die cut flowers on it.
It reminds me of field of spring flowers. 

I also cut out the word congrats twice, once from yellow cardstock and once
from the patterned paper and layered them a bit off set.

With a little strip of plastic packaging I attached the sentiment on the
styrofoam centre between the flowers.
You can hardly see it from a distance and it's like the word is floating.

Blues and browns

Hi, crafty friends. I don't make much cards especially made to enter challenges simply because I have no time, but today I'm sharing a card inspired by a moodboard challenge over at Saratov scrap club.

I just love the colors!
For the cardbase I used Nellie's Multi Frames dies.
I made the flowers using foamiran (bought at crafteezee), colored with chalks and oil pastels in the colors I wanted and cut out using different flowers dies.

I embellished the card with all kinds of materials, like fabric, pine cones, leaves, pearls and little micro beads.

Some of the embellishments are coated with copper wax, like the leaves, pearls and pine cones.

I would like to enter this card in these challenges:

I was inspired by the colors, the wood and the pinecones in this moodboard.

Sweets for my sweet

Hi friends, I hope you're having a wonderful day!
I've created this sweets for my sweet card today using the delicious papers from Bee Shabby called "Our Cafe". These papers weren't available here in The Netherlands so I ordered them at a Russian scrapbook store called Inscrap (together with some other goodies) and the shipping went super fast, just 10 days.

The white flowers I made myself from foamiran. There's a flair button in the right bottom corner, also from the Our Cafe series.

As always I made this card with multiple layers and added ribbons, crochet pieces and ephemera between the different layers.

I've also added lots of berries between the flowers and they match the papers perfectly.

I would like to enter this card in these challenges/gallery:
