Any Occasion Card with Flowers!!

Hello crafty friends,  I hope you are all having a fabulous week so far.

Suzi here today sharing a pretty card  I made 

with some pretty foamiran flowers and some

 heat embossing on one of Bloomar's gorgeous chipboard pieces

 along some fussy cutting of leaves and flowers. 

I chose to use the lovely 12x12 Dream Garden paper from ScrapBoys 

and fussy cut out one of the elements for behind my chipboard piece which was

embossed with Sizzix Arctic Sky glitter embossing powder.

The little butterfly is from the store (think it's a prima but not 100% sure)

I will of course add a list of products used at the bottom of my post for you.

In the meantime here is another picture from a different angle.

 Thank you so much for popping in to visit, I hope

you enjoyed your stay and do please come back and see us soon.

Anniversary Tag Card!!

Hello crafty friends,  I hope you are all having a fabulous week.  

Suzi here with you today sharing my DT card.

No stamping or colouring from me this week, instead I thought I would 

make some pretty foamiran flowers, heat embossing and some fussy cutting instead.

I chose to use the lovely 12x12 Dream Garden papper from ScrapBoys. I

fussy cut the little bird and butterfly added some foam pads

to make them sit up from the base of the card, I also cut the sentiment

from the bottom strip of the paper and added it to the bottom of my card.

I used some Lady E Design herb, leaves, swirl die along with the Rosy Owl AC6 flower die.

The Swirl die has been heat embossed with silver embossing powde,. the other

leaves and herbs have been coloured with distress inks with gesso and glitter added.

 Thank you so much for popping in to visit, I hope

you enjoyed your stay and do please come back and see ussoon.

Christmas tree

Welcome everyone

It’s Christmas Day and I would like to show you
 my Christmas tree :) 

I used MDF tree and covered it with few layers of white gesso, I used sponge to apply last layer with dabbing motion to create snow like effect.
Once everything was dry I added my poinsettias and other finishing and touches.

As this is my last project for Crafteezee I would like to thank Tracy for this amazing opportunity to be a part of her team. 

Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year full of fantastic projects and lots of craft goodies under your Christmas tree :)

Best wishes

Tunnel box card with Scrapboys Dream Garden

Hello, welcome to the Crafteezee blog. It's DT Henriëtte here today and 

I'm sharing a tunnel box card I've created using papers from Scrapboys, 

- Dream Garden -

.

To make the tunnel box I followed a tutorial I found here.

I used the pretty papers from Scrapboys called Dream Garden and decorated the front

 of the box with foamiran flowers, leaves, swirly die cuts and

 cut outs from the paperpad.

To make the flowers I used two colors of pink foamiran and also white foamiran.

The pink flowers were a bit to bright in my opinion, they did not quite match the papers.

So I smeared some white gesso on the petals to tone the brightness down.

Inside, on the different layers of the tunnel, I glued flower cut outs from the paperpad.

In the middle of the box I placed the sentiment. 

There are a few sentiments on the backpage of the paperpad. Isn't that handy?

I also re-enforced the corners of the box with folded strips of paper to make 

the box more solid.

Below you can find all the products I used to make this tunnel box.

It's a fun project to make, I hope you'll give it a try.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Santa’s sleigh

Ho Ho Ho 

Santa where are you???

Your sleigh is ready!!!

I just love Christmas and all the preparations. 

Today I have got for you MDF sleigh. 

First I put it together and covered it with white gesso by dabbing it with a sponge to create snow effect.

Once it dried I decorated it with white foamiran poinsettias, branches, berries and tiny gold stars.

Hope you like my project :)

Sweet gift

Welcome everyone

The weather turned cold so to brighten up your day I decided to create a card with my favourite chocolate and with a lot of flowers.

I used white and pink foamiran and Lady E Design dies for the pink ones and Rosy Owl for the white. Created layers with Lemoncraft and Pion Design papers with additional sisal.

BlooMar chipboard were embossed with white embossing powder to give it softer look.

Of course I had to use some leaves and for this project I have picked beautiful Lady E Design small leaves die to cut few branches from the same papers as my layers.  

Hope you like my project

Hope that you will like my video tutorial and 

please let me know if you find this template useful 😄

Foamiran hydrangeas

Hello, Henriëtte here today sharing foamiran hydrangeas. 

I made three different kinds.

A few years ago I made a photo tutorial on my own blog on how I make the
 hydrangea flowers. You can find it here.

Here's a picture of the 3 different kinds of hydrangeas I've made using Crafteezee 

foamiran and stamens.

The one on the left is my favourite. I made it using mauve colored foamiran and each petal is pressed on a mold to give the petals the texture.

There are about 30 flowers in this small bunch.

I just love the vintage look.

The flowers in the centre of the first picture are colored using purple, pink and blue chalks. 

I used chalks but you can also use pastel oils, inks or paints.
You can give white foamiran any color you like, just experiment and combine colors.
I didn't give the petals any texture but they still look pretty.

I made the white hydrangea by rolling the petals between my fingers after I warmed the foam against my iron. The flowers have some texture but also have a bit different shape.

Making hydreangea flowers is a time consuming process but definitely worth it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriette.
