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

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.

Christmas card with foamiran poinsettias

Hi, a quick post from me today because I'm having the flu :(
I'm sharing a Christmas card I've made with 3 white poinsettia flowers on it.

For this card I used white foamiran, poinsettia die, pearl buttons and paper from 14 craft bar.
The joy die is from memory box and the little holly die is from simply creative.
I used glitter paper for the dies and on the letters I put glossy accents. In the centre of the flowers I glued clear micro beads.

I'm entering this card in the Noor November challenge:

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

Bell cups with foamiran flower

Last week I bought several dried poppy bell pods (white) and I thought it would be nice to use them in combination with foamiran flowers. This is what I came up with.

Three bell cups filled with different foamiran flowers in white and pink, snowed branches, curly moss and leaves.

I used white and pink foamiran sheets from 14 craft bar. The stamens are also from this shop.

The bell cups, branches and curly moss are from a Dutch flower arranging shop.

To make this rose I used dies from 14 craft bar.

I also made some pink hydrangea flowers. You can find a step by step tutorial on how I makes these on a this blog post.

There is also a clover in this bell cup. I made the clover by watching a tutorial on you tube (link here).

In this bell cup are some more hydrangea, a poinsettia and a few fantasy flowers.

For the poinsettia I used this poinsettia die and for the little flowers I used some of these smaller dies from 14 craft bar.

The cute bell cups make a wonderful centerpiece on a table.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs, Henriette.
