Some More Handmade Foamiran Flowers

Hi guys, I've had a really busy few days, we were on Holiday then when we got back my Daughter and family finally got the keys to their New Home, so we've been busy!!!! Lol

Thankfully I had some free time earlier and so I had a play with my Foamiran and made a few different flowers with it,

These are some of them, made with Ecru Foamiran on the outer petals and a pale peachy colour on the inner ones, I then used Olive Green Foamiran for the Calxys and leaves,

I lightly coloured the outer petals on the edges with a Oil Pastel to match in with the inner coloured Foamiran,

I will be back soon with some more flowers I have made too,

Happy Creating!!!

June/ 1st Year Celebration At Swedish House Crafts

Hi guys,as you may already know the design team over at Swedish house Crafts are celebrating our one Year Anniversary!!!

I am so very happy and proud to be on Suha's DT, who is such a lovely lady and friend,

So onto my make, 

I thought I'd make a Celebration card using the fantastic products over at Swedish House Crafts,

I used the very striking Celebration papers by Maja Design for the base of my card, simply distressing the edges for a little added interest and because that's the look I love, lol

In between the paper layers I added a  Doo Hickey die cut - background hearts by Magnolia, I cut this out using one of the Monochromes card stock again by Maja Design,

For the centre focal point I used  the fabulous Chipboard heart balloons, adding some Glamour Dust glitter on the base section of the balloons, the using a Versa Mark ink pad on the top section, then I   heat embossed it with my heat gun, this gives a lovely metallic appearance, I then glued the sections together, finishing it off with a little twine from my stash,

As a little added extra I die cut two glasses out of Mirri Board in a silver colour using another fabulous die by Magnolia, the Doo Hickey Glass and Signs die,

I then finished off my card with a  mixed Berries bunch which matched in with the colour scheme perfectly,

Maja Design - Celebration paper - Glamour

Maja Design - Monochromes - Old Brass

Chipboard - Heart Balloons 

Magnolia Doo Hickey / Recipe Card -  Glass and Signs

Mixed Berries - Glisten/silver

Versa Mark Ink pad

A Love Story

Hi guys, I'm showing you a card I've made for my Daughter and Son-In-Law for their 10th

Wedding Anniversary, using the Awesome digital image 875 from My Besties,

I coloured the image with my copics, then used some papers to match by Maja Design, 

I added some hints of metallic on the cogs and glasses with a metal type pen and then added some die cut cogs here and there to tie in with the image too,

As usual to give my shabby look to the papers I distressed the edges with a distress tool, added flowers and a little lace then painted these randomly with some white gesso,

Check out this fabulous image and all the other stunning images available at the 

My Besties online shop

My latest Foamiran flowers

Hi guys, I've not had a lot of time this week but I couldn't resist having a play with some white Silk Foamiran and Emilias new flower die 002,

These are on wires as I've not decided what to do with them yet!!!, Lol

I've made three sizes using the same die set, just using different sized petals, each petal is edged with a little oil pastel,

Stamens are from 14 Craft Bar,

I used the smallest sized petal for the bud, which was made with a ball shape of tin foil first,

I may get around to a tutorial soon, if interested let me know,

Happy Crafting!!!
