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.

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.

Reindeer Christmas card for Amazing Paper Grace

Hello crafty friends, today I'm sharing my last project as the November guest designer for 

Amazing Paper Grace.

This time I used three different die sets designed by Becca Feeken to create 

this Christmas card.  

The vignette in the center is the reindeer prance layered etched die .

This set has 3 dies and together they create a magical three-dimensional holiday scene.

The paperpad I used is from Lemoncraft - Christmas Greetings.

The center panel has a piece of ribbon glued on the edge.

For the vignette I die cut the pieces using different patterned papers from the

Lemoncraft papers.

The flowers I made from red and green foamiran and the Becca Feeken poinsettia dies.

With this set of six dies you can create dimensional poinsettia's in different sizes.

.

The sentiment and the holly leaves are from the holly jolly christmas die set.

I also added a few rhinestones on the holly leaves and a twine bow 

with two little Christmas bells.

This was my last blogpost as guest designer for Amazing Paper Grace.

I want to thank Becca Feeken for giving me the opportunity to work with her amazing dies 

and the warm welcome she and her team gave me.

Check out the Amazing Paper Grace blog for more beautiful inspirations.

Lantern

Hi and welcome to my blog.
Today I'm sharing a chipboard lantern I've assembled, painted and decorated. The chipboard lantern is from Laserowe love and it's about 22 cm tall.

I painted all the pieces with chalkpaint in light blue and let them dry before gluing the lantern together. After I assembled it I used copper wax to give the lantern an old look.

I decorated the lantern with lots of foamiran flowers, moss, pine cones, Silver Birch Bark Stars,  berries and Tim holtz wood slices.

The inside bottom I decorated with moss, cinnamon sticks, wood accents, fake fur and Tim Holtz Deers.

I hope you like my decorated chipboard lantern. 

The lantern and most of the embellishments I used are available at Crafteezee UK.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs, Henriette.
