Mixed Media Notebook.

I recently gave up smoking (had my last on Sunday the 24th of September at 11pm!!!) and in order to try keep myself busy when I'm not running around after the little people I have been trying my hand at mixed media. Another benefit to quitting my disgusting habit is having more money to build up my supplies woohoo!

I was asked to make a Tiffany style box card recently for a sister who was turnning 50 and had been a huge help to her sister so the customer wanted a lot of photos on the card and then asked if I could make a notebook so that I could add more photos and I decided to have a little fun trying out some new to me techniques and this was the end result.

Marilyn Monroe, bingo and the Wicked Queen from Snow White!!!

I like to find out the likes of a recipient of one of my cards so that I can try to make it personal and recently I had to make cards for a mum who loved bingo and who was called Marilyn and liked Marilyn Monroe too. Once I heard Marilyn Monroe I automatically thought of those beautiful black and white prints of her but her lips are red so that is where the color scheme came from. I have wanted to make red Foamiran roses and this was the perfect opportunity to finally try the red!

This is what I came up with!

I design and cut boxes for my cards on the Silhouette Cameo and also use the Cameo to print and cut almost all of the elements on my cards!

Next up is this card that was to feature the Evil Queen from Snow White.

Again I made Foamiran roses for this card but this time I used purple Foamiran and colored the tip of the petals using a black oil pastel.

I also used the new and exclusive 14 Craft Bar stencils to create another style of flower, don't think it is an actual real flower but it is quick and easy so I think it will feature on a lot of my cards!!

I love how the red roses turned out, I may try a bigger more life sized version soon!

Thanks for stopping by.

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.
