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.

Jar lantern

Today I have got for you Christmas lantern. 
I used jam jar, covered it with white gesso in uneven way to create snow like effect.
Ones the gesso dried I added lace and tulle trim on the edge of the jar. 
I have finished it off by adding white berries and poinsettias.
If you wondering how I made these foamiran poinsettias then check out m video tutorial.

Happy crafting

Delicate foamiran flowers

Hello everyone 

It’s Monika again and today I would like to show you these delicate foamiran flowers. To make them I used Lady E Design hydrangea flower set but instead of creating hydrangeas I made this universal flowers.  
I used two layers for each flower, added a bit of blue oil pastel with matt blue stamens in the centre.

Happy crafting everybody xxx

were cut by hand and attached

 with 3d foam pads to give it more dimension. 

The papers come from Mintay Kiddie paper collection and the whole card was finished with foamiran flowers from Rosy Owl die set and Craft & You leaves die.

The card comes with square box with a heart window from GoatBox

White foamiran flowers

Welcome everyone

Today I would like to share with you my latest creation.
This time I made a lot of white foamiran flowers with only simple pale pink pearl stamens. Sometime its so good to just create something without to much of a fuss with only basic tools and materials, and that is what I have done. 

To create this flowers I used white foamiran, Rosy Owl die set and pearl stamens.

Hope you liked my flowers and stay tuned to see my next project and maybe I will use these flowers for something special :)

Happy crafting

Dreams

Welcome everyone 

Today I would like to share my latest make, it’s a tag made from Pion Design papers.

Simple, elegant with clean lines but with deep pink foamiran flower as focal point. 

I created the tag by adding paper layers with addition

of lace across it.    

I added some sisal under the flower, few die cut leaves and chipboard leaves which has been heat embossed to give it more subtle look.

I finished of the project by adding a title- dreams.

Hope you will like it.

All the best

Maja Design Denim & Girls Card

Hello, welcome to the Crafteezee blog. 

Today I'm sharing a card I've made using the cute papers from Maja Design 
Denim & Girls.

The card has 3 layers of patterned papers. 

I stitched a decorative frame on two of the paper pieces.

 I made matching foamiran flowers in pink and blue, added a fantasy chipboard and
 other flowers as well.
I colored the chipboard with pink ink and soften it with white gesso.

The white swirls are cut out of white foamiran using a Lady E die cut.

The little sentiment is from a 13 arts paper pad - Rose fields.

Furthermore I added a little bow made from tulle trim.

Thanks so much for visiting the Crafteezee blog.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Foamiran flowers with video tutorial

Foamiran hydrangea

Welcome everyone:)

It's Monika today with yet another inspiration. This time I made foamiran hydrangea from Lady E Design die set and cut all three sizes out of ivory foamiran. I added some light olive oil pastel on two petals and other two left without any extra colour. To create the veins I used light purple brush tipped marker to match the lilac flower centres. 

For the leaves I used olive green foamiran.

Hope you like the way they turned out :)

All the best

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.
