Tiffany Card!

So after being asked sometime last year to make a Tiffany style box card for a young lady who loved anything to do with Paris and Audrey Hepburn I never anticipated that it would be such a big hit and it is now my most requested card design. Of course I never make 2 cards the same so every time I make one I face the challenge of changing it up!!

Here are 2 I created recently and you can see that although they look alike they have been designed to the recipients taste.

Number 1

Number 2

I have decorated both with my own handmade Foamiran flowers and if you would like to find out more about creating your own flowers you can click the photo below which will bring you to the

Foamiran Hair Clip.

Hello and welcome!

Today I would like to share my inspiration for the 14 Craft Bar DT. 

I am going to a wedding next week and treated myself to a beautiful navy dress and shoes to wear so I wanted to make something to wear in my hair as I never really create for myself and the navy Foamiran was perfect for what I had in mind.

As part of the accessories range in 14 Craft Bar they have these little hair combs and I wanted to give them a try and this is what I came up with.

I cut the petals on my Silhouette Cameo using the following settings

Speed - 1

Thickness - 18

Blade - 9

I then colored the tips with a white oil pastel to give a more delicate look to the flowers and then rolled and rolled and rolled. Each petal was then glued using super glue to a piece of florists wire and then I used florists tape to bind the stamens into a bunch and then added the petals.

For the greenery I again used the Silhouette Cameo to cut a 6 petal shape from green Foamiran and then using a small scissors I cut little lines into each of the petals and then rolled.

Some Foamiran makes! WARNING!!!! This is a loooonnng post!

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Today I am playing catch up so will be showing a few recent makes.

First off I have a wedding card to show.

For the flowers on this card I used the Rosy Dot AC1 die and made some basic quick and easy flowers that I then jazzed up with some of the fabulous new stamens from 14 Craft Bar.

I cut the box card, bag, cake and all the paper elements using my Silhouette Cameo

For this card I used for the first time some of the plastic greenery available from 14 Craft Bar, at first when I seen this I didn't like the look of it too much but when I gave it a coat of  white Gesso it completely changed how it looked so I think I will have to stock up on those now :) 

For the little flowers I used the Rosy Dot AC3, I love using these little flowers as there is not much to be done in terms of shaping them, just place on the iron until they curl and then press into the middle. Super easy and they are great for filling out the larger flowers.

I used Inktense pencils to color the chipboards from the weddings and love collection in 14 Craft Bar and then dabbed over them with a babywipe to give a blended washy look.

The next thing I have to share with you are 2 corsages I made. I had never tried to make a corsage before so it was a fun learning experience.

This first one was for my son's beautiful girlfriend.

For the Calla Lilies I hand cut an upside down heart shape with a long tail. I rolled only the edges of the petal and then using a large ball tool I shaped the bottom of the lily. I then colored it with oil pastels and used the edge of the iron to curl the edges of the flower. I covered some heavy florists wire with white florists tape then coated with clear nail varnish and then dipped in white glitter to make the stamens.

Here is my son looking a little lost as to how to put a corsage on lol, but he managed in the end.

Don't they look very glamorous!!

Next up is a corsage I made for a beautiful young lady called Marta, Marta is the daughter of Agnieskza (or Agnes for short) who is the owner of 14 Craft Bar so it was a real honor to be able to make this corsage for the daughter of Irelands Foamiran queen ;)

I had been sent a photo of Marta's beautiful dress which was lace and super elegant. The dress was a lovely light peach which was a perfect match for the pale peach Foamiran.

I used the largest die from the Rosy Dot AC1 set. This die makes an almost life sized rose.

I added some tulle with silver dots and a feather from my stash and then attached it all to a wide satin ribbon.

Marta's dress had some silver beading on it so I made a little spray with crystals to add some bling.

I used a leaf mold to add detail to the green Foamiran leaves.

And here is the stunning Marta wearing her gorgeous lace dress and Foamiran corsage.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope a wood weekend will be had by all!

14 Craft Bar DT

Hello there 

Today I would like to share a card with you for 14 Craft Bar DT, Irelands newest craft store.

I decided to step outside my comfort zone with this card and made a BIG flower to be the focal point of the card, I also I think for the first time ever used only colored Foamiran...... no white at all.
Something else I tried that was new to me was mixed media on a card, I made the background paper using watercolor paper, Gesso and Liquarel watercolors.

I love the matt stamens as they can be colored to match your project and those beautiful vintage style buttons just finish the flowers so easily.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
