My Latest Display with Foamiran Flowers

Hi guys, I want today to show you a collection of flowers I've made as a display using some of the fabulous Foamiran from Agnes at 14 Craft Bar,

I've made quite a few flowers using the same  multi flower die, just using different sized petals and gluing them in a different way too, this means one die set can give lots of beautiful flowers for the cost of one die set,

I used 0002 Ecru Foamiran as the base of most of my flowers, then I simply coloured the petals with some oil pastels, for this flower I used a die from my stash, after cutting out the petals I scrunched the petals up after colouring with the oil pastels and then spread them in the middle of the petals leaving the tops scrunched up as much as I could, Foe this flower I also used some stamens,

This flower was made using the multi flower die using the next to largest sized petal and again some of the stamens, I also coloured the edges of the petals with some oil pastel but in a lighter colourway this time,

This small rose bud style flower has Ecru foamiran on the outer petals with some Apricot Silk Foam for the inner ones, again the multi flower die was used for these,( please excuse my glue strings, they always show more under the lamp I use to photograph my images with) these can be easily removed of course!!!! LOL, I then used some Olive Green foamiran for the leaves just colouring the edges with another oil pastel too,

Again I made this flower out of the Multi flower die, colouring the edges of the outer petals the same way and using some of the Apricot Silk foam for the centres,

Here is another of the style of flower I showed above,

Here I used the Multi flower die using the 3rd sized petal up for a Rose Bud styled flower again using the Apricot Silk foam and Olive Green for the leaves,

This open curly rose styled flower was made using pale peach Foamiran for the outer petals coloured with the paler oil pastel as used before for another flower, then I used the Ecru Foamiran onto which I added no extra colour for the centre petals, 

I used the Rosy Dot die AC2  and the pale peach Foamiran for the small flower bunch , these I coloured with the oil pastels and added a tiny button from my stash for the centres, this style of flower bunch makes a great filler for the display as shown,

This is the finished top view of my flower display, where you can see most of the different types of flowers I made,

As you can see I arranged the flowers with some larger hand cut leaves and more rose buds, 

 Hope you have a go at the different styled flowers that you can make with the fabulous range of Foamiran, stamens, dies and stencils plus lots of other products over at 14 Craft Bar too,

Happy Crafting!!!

Pretty In Pink

Hi guys, I thought I'd show you today a Hairband I've created using some of the fabulous products from 14 Craft Bar,

I started off with one of the brilliant Hairbands onto which I wrapped some white ribbon round, these are available from 14 Craft Bar as well as the Foamiran used,

I made the Roses using the Multi flower dies, 

The buds were made suing the 2nd sized up die and 002 Ecru Foamiran, I added a little colour to the top edges of one of the buds with a  No 39 Pental oil pastel,

The medium sized Rose shown above was made using the 2nd and £rd sized dies, using 007 pale pink Foamiran,

the larger Rose was made using the 3rd and 4th sized petals and  007Pale Pink Foamiran, I used some oil Pastel to colour more of the petals while the middle petals I kept to the 007 Foamiran,

I hand cut some leaves out of 020 Olive Foamiran which I coloured on the edges with  the oil pastel too,

My Granddaughter couldn't wait to put it on!!! Lol

As you may be able to see from the picture above, I used white floral tape on the wires so they matched with the white ribbon and therefor didn't show as much,

Welcome Little One

Hi guys, today I thought I'd show you a pop up box style card I've created using some of the fabulous products at 14 Craft Bar,

I love this adorable pack of papers and images from the My Precious Girl paper pack which as you can see is what I mostly used for my card/box
I think this could also be used for a baby Boy too although they do also do a Boys paper pack too,

I made up my box then added the papers onto which I distressed the edges, I love this look as it gives added interest with out much bulk,

I then added my fussy cut out images from the paper pack, there are lots to choose from, lol

I added the ones to the centre of my box by adding them onto pieces of acetate, this allows different heights of the images to be used,

For the front flap of my box I used the wonderful Welcome little One wording which comes in the pack, then the adorable booties, placed on an angle and raised on 3D foam,

On this side I used this adorable Elephant image which I popped again onto some foam pads to give a little depth, then I used another of the fabulous sentiments,

I added these gorgeous Butterflies and wording on the other side, keeping the text flat and the Butterflies raised, I have kept the back flat plain so a Handwritten verse can be added,

I finished my card off with some ready made paper flowers, 

Check out this fabulous paper pack and some of the  ready made flowers 14 Craft Bar sells which are perfect for a New Born baby creation,

Happy Crafting!!!

A small Bouquet in Lemon

Hi guys, I'm here today to show you some Roses and a couple of open style flowers I made using some of the fabulous Foamiran in colour 002 and the Multi flower die available at

14 Craftbar,

I made a medium sized rose plus some buds in different stages of opening, as well as some leaves too,

Above you can see the larger rose which I made out of a foil bud then used the 3rd and 4th sized petals from the Multi flower die and the 002 Foamiran (Ecru) this is a off white kind of colour, so to make my lemon coloured Roses I used some pastel extra soft number 3 then on the top edges went over with oil pastel  ( to do this I simply added some of the pastel to a piece of foam then used flicking motions to add colour to the petals before gluing)

The open styled flower is made using the Multi flower die using the 2nd sized petal die and the  same 002 Foamiran but this time I only used the soft pastel extra soft for a more subtle look, to this I also added some green stamens in the centre,

I then made some Rose buds using the 3rd sized Multi flower die, just making the foil bud smaller and the petals tighter together when gluing to get the different sizes, the one shown above I kept the colouring soft like the open flower and was coloured the same way,

For some of the other buds I added both pastels as above to give more of a stronger hint of colour, I then made the calyx's with some 020 Olive green Foamiran which I hand cut, then some leaves as shown too,

I will be using these on a hand made card soon but they would fab on a headband or similar too,

I love making all sorts of flowers out of Foamiran, it is very relaxing and you can use hand cut petals or dies which as you can see you can usually make different styled flowers with too, do check out all the gorgeous products Agnes has in store, then why not have a go yourself at making some of the many styles of flowers you can make,

Happy Crafting!!!
