My First Foamiran Flowers with VIDEO TUTORIAL for Scrap & Craft

Hello my dear friends and welcome to my creative space.

I have created my very first Foamiran flowers and thought it would be fun to share the process with you in a DIY video including some tips I learned as I was creating them. I really enjoyed working with Foamiran and am delighted with the gorgeous and realistic roses I was able to make.

Here's a close up of the flower I created in the video:


Here are some close ups from the project I created with these flowers:

You can see how the rose from the video has more delicate and realistic edges than the large rose on my card. I share the tips I learned about working with Foamiran to achieve these edges in the video.

I used dies that I already owned, but if you need dies, the Scrap & Craft Store has a great selection of Flower Dies HERE.

A selection of stamen can be found HERE.

If you haven't tried Foamiran flowers yet, I hope you'll give them a try!!

Mixed Media Mother's Day Card for Scrap & Craft

Welcome to my creative space!

We are so blessed with a beautiful daughter-in-law who is an amazing mom to our little granddaughter, Avery. I created this sweet Mother's Day card for her featuring the Craft O'Clock Always Together Collection paired with Mulberry Magnolia Flowers and a Pink Cherry Blossom from the Scrap & Craft store. I've also entered this card in the Lindy's Stamp Gang May Challenge.

Tips and Techniques

I simply adore how the Craft O'Clock collections include such gorgeous images on the back of the package label to use on your projects. I fussy cut a couple of these floral images to tuck in behind the dimensional flowers.

The focal flowers include Magnolia Flowers and Pink Cherry Blossom from the store. They are dry brushed with white gesso for a shabby mixed media feel.

I've also tucked in metal wings, resin flowers, ribbon leaves, die cuts, jewelry pieces, sequins, hand crocheted flower, art pebbles tin hearts, and art stones from my stash. When creating mixed media pieces, you can really combine about anything you might have laying around. I've colored the wings, resin flowers, jewelry piece, and art stones with Lindy's Stamp Gang Autumn Maple Crimson and Tibetan Poppy Teal Starburst mist, then rubbed with Finnabair art wax.

When creating a cluster, it helps to start with the larger pieces in the center, then build out with smaller elements. Here, I built a layer of torn lace down from the center of the cluster and added dimensional items over top.

Here's a close-up to see more of the mixed media background. I added stenciling, a bit of color, and white spatter with drawing ink. The edges are distressed to add to the shabby feel of the card.

Bambino Glue from the store is used to adhere the art stones and sequins.

Mixed Media Mother's Day Card ~ DT Inspiration for Scrap & Craft May Challenge

Welcome to my creative space!

Today I'm sharing my DT inspiration for the Scrap & Craft May Challenge. Mother's day is just around the corner, and I've created this sweet card for my beautiful mom.

In this challenge you need to use any three chipboard pieces in your project. You can create any project you want: layout, card, canvas, art journal page or OTP project.

You need to use at least one product from the Scrap & Craft store

and link that product to the Scrap and craft store.

You can find all the challenge details HERE on the Scrap & Craft Blog.

Tips and Techniques

I used two pieces of chipboard from the Lavender Mist - frame 02 Set. I painted them, spread Bambino glue across the blossom areas, and sprinkled with purple microbeads.

Texture is added to the background with light molding paste using Art Anthology's Lotus stencil, then spritzed with blue and purple color mist to highlight the texture. When dry, I used a script stamp randomly across the background and then spattered with white drawing ink. More texture is added around the cluster using prills and chunky glass glitter. I just had to add a little bling with a few clear rhinestones scattered near the floral cluster.

I've used a Mulberry Paper Magnolia Flower and Pink Cherry blossom from the store as well as a piece of Studio75 ~ Organza rose trim. I cut a blossom from the lace to tuck in and dyed it with some of the purple and blue color mist I used on the background.

I stamped out the leafy Branch stamp onto watercolor paper and used Zig Real Brush Markers for a vibrant watercolor effect. The leaves were then fussy cut to tuck in around the cluster.

I used 4 pieces of chipboard all together. This script beauty piece from Michaels is heat embossed with shabby white embossing enamel. The final piece is the center circle from the Crafty Molly ~ Zahia frame. It is brushed with randomly with metallic paint coordinating with the background and used as a base for the beauty sentiment.

A metal butterfly that I brushed with white gesso, Prima Sparks paint, and Prima Finnabair art wax.

I hope you'll grab your Scrap & Craft supplies to join us for the May challenge.
