New Foam Flowers!

Hi blogger friends!

I have a card to share today that features a new technique where the flowers are made from, what they're calling, foam paper.

I got this card kit from Paper Wishes, and it's a monthly box kit put out by Crafter's Companion, and it revolves around the flower dies and the flowers cut from the foam paper. Once the flowers are cut out, you heat the foam with a either a heat gun or I used a craft iron, and you shape it with a metal ball stylus tool or your fingers and once the foam cools, it keeps that shape. Pretty fun, new technique. You can watch how to form the flowers here.The kit makes 18 cards and everything is included to make a complete card. You can see what's in the box here. All except that fuzzy looking paper under the printed paper. That is Mulberry paper and another technique I got from Bonny Garby which you can go here to watch on Youtube.

I found these pearl butterfly and dragonfly in my stash and had to include them.

That's it for today, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
Thanks to all the challengers above for lettin' me play along.

This is another Pull Up/Slider card but this time made in hot pink that I made for, and am sending to, Anna Griffin for her birthday. I embellished this one quite a bit more adding more elements to the back and even the bottom. The corner die on the bottom I made into a pocket to include a note.

- The base was made from Anna's Pull Up Card Dies
- Most if the die elements are from Tonic Studio
- The records were made from a circle punch and dies
- The front sentis are older stamps from Stampin' Up
- The back senti is a wood stamp from Make An Impression that I was surprised to notice that the fonts were practically the same! That was fun!
- The corner die is from Heartfelt Creations
- The black border, swirls and small stars are stickers from Dazzles

Waterfall Card!

Hey crafty friends!

I have a waterfall card to share today.

Entering in these challenges:

 Wow! I have been on a birthday card roll lately and this one is my 4th in a row.

This was made from a waterfall card kit from Crafter's Companion that I got on HSN, but I believe is now sold out, but they actually have it on sale on the US Crafter's Companion website for $8.49. Which is really a good buy because you get 4 ea of 6 patterns, which is 24 cards, that comes out to .35 a card. If your like me and add the 6.95 shpg, (+ 6.95 = 15.44 / 24) comes out to .64 a card, which is still a pretty good deal I think. And you get everything you need in the kit to make a basic card plus instructions.
- I added the white ribbon on the pull mechanism.
- Also the balloon, cup cake and sentiment are from Anna Griffin's birthday stickers and sentiments pak on the inside of the card.
- The pink, word patterned paper is from Crafter's Companion's Spring is in the Air, 12x12 paper pak and was cut with a Spellbinders Labels 20 die.

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!
