Now, a few creative details about my project that features exclusive Scrapbook.com Star nesting dies, Neenah cards and card fronts, adhesives and more!

I'm using the brand new Big and Bold Christmas stamp set, with heat embossing that includes Scrapbook.com's new premium clear embossing ink.  You'll find product links at the end of this post.

I also used the exclusive Scrapbook.com Holiday hybrid inks to watercolor my gnomes, from the Stampendous Holiday Gnomes stamp set.  Just press your ink pad onto a craft mat, then grab the color with a waterbrush and paint!  So easy!  I used a white gel pen for some added embellishment and highlighting.

The Scrapbook.com double-sided foam assortment comes in so many shapes and sizes and is perfect for popping up my gnome images for added dimension.

My background was stenciled and ink blended, using the Ballet hybrid ink and the Heffy Doodle Cloudy Skies stencil, on Neenah card fronts.  The new domed foam blending tools and applicator tips make this soooo easy!  I also blended red, green and pink stars on the Neenah card front, then cut them with my Spellbinders Platinum 6 die cut/emboss machine and splattered white paint for some added interest.  These are also popped up with the adhesive foam.

DIY Christmas Canvas Art

If you've never attempted canvas art, I have an easy project for you today.  We're going to put several skills together, including stenciling, painting, stamping and glue application.  Follow along for creative details on this art that features Buttons Galore Fun Flurries Sparkletz as the focal point.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

If you're intimidated by creating your own painted pieces, start small.  I grabbed a few supplies that can be found at most local big box craft stores or Walmart, including a 4x4 inch stretched canvas and Plaid Fok Art paint.  I'm only working with 3 colors today.  Start small, gain confidence and stretch those wings!

I started by laying down a layer of dark blue, then decided to mix in the lavender color.  If you don't like the colors, mix it up!  If you make a mistake, you can always cover it up with more paint.  

I did sketch out a circle with a pencil before painting, drawing my own ornament.  Again, if you mess up and your circle doesn't look right, you can always erase on canvas, with your pencil eraser.  Once I colored my background, I filled in with the blue paint, mixing in a little white paint as well.

Next, I stenciled some stars using white pigment ink and a domed blender tool from Scrapbook.com.  The stencil is from Ranger Ink and you'll find many of the products that I used at the end of this post.  I also dabbed on a little white paint after stenciling, so it would grab the glitter that I sprinkled on top.  Use the pointed end of a paint brush to dab on little dots of snow onto the background with white paint.

I didn't get a photo of the glue process, but once your ornament paint is dry, grab a bottle of clear glue ( I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L) and draw around the circle, filling inwards.  Liberally apply the Fun Flurries Sparkletz on top of the glue.  You can use a sharp craft tool or even a toothpick to rearrange or add more bling to fill in any gaps.  This pack of Sparkletz includes tiny snowflakes in shimmery mirror colors as well as white, clear bubble gems, sequins and sparkly prism gems.  It's gorgeous in person!

I initially drew on an ornament topper but decided to use the real thing and give more 3D dimension to my project.  Use a plier to cut off a plastic topper from a mini ornament, like the ones you see pictured.  I used scissors to trim it just a bit, then pressed it gently to flatten it a bit.  It will split a little, but that's ok.  Hot glue holds this in place, along with a thin piece of silver ribbon as the loop on top.  It turned out perfectly and any imperfections only lend to the mixed media feel.

Because the base of the canvas is surrounded by a thin layer of wood inside, I was able to heat emboss a sentiment with clear embossing ink and white embossing powder, using a masking technique to only stamp part of the sentiment.  You'll need a craft heat tool for this and painters tape or washi tape to mask the part of the stamp that you don't want imaged.  Also, the craft heat tool helps speed the drying process for your paint and glued adornment.

I hope you'll give this a try.  It would make a lovely Christmas gift, or you can hang on your wall or mix in with a decorative tabletop arrangement.  Thanks for popping in today!  Terri

Thanksgiving Autumn Leaves Card

Hello lovelies.  Today, I'm sharing a non-traditional Thanksgiving card that features the September 2019 Sentiment Kit from Unity Stamps, along with lots of products from Scrapbook.com.

 I've been sharing some of my coloring over on my Instagram page, so be sure you're following me.  This month marks another round of The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge, and these lovely leaves were colored with that in mind. Scroll down for creative details.  You'll also find product links at the end of this post.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

To begin, I stamped my leaves with the exclusive hybrid ink in Leather, from Scrapbook.com.

Scrapbook.com - Premium Hybrid Ink Pad - Wood Group - Leather

from: Scrapbook.com

Next, I watercolored my leaves using my Altenew pan watercolors and a water brush, onto watercolor paper, then cut them with my Brother Crafts Scan N Cut machine.  If you'd like to see a quick, 30 second coloring process, check out my short video on Instagram, here.

I'm entering my card into the Unity Stamps November challenge at the Unity Stamps Show and Tell Facebook group. The challenge is to use paint on a project.  I used Plaid Multi-Surface paint in Gold and Bark Brown, splattering my paint by dipping a wet paint brush into lightly water spritzed paint, then tapping all over.  To get a few larger drops, I dip the end of the handle into the paint and dot wherever I desire.  I used that same technique on my white cardstock, once my card was finished, focusing on only the brown paint.

I don't often have a plan when I begin a project and wasn't sure which direction I wanted to go.  At the last minute, I decided to ink up the Cloudy Skies stencil from Heffy Doodle.  It's been unused in my stash for awhile and I thought it would make an interesting pairing with the leaves.

Heffy Doodle - Stencil - Cloudy Skies - $5.94

from: Scrapbook.com

I've never used a cloud stencil before, although I've made my own DIY cloud stencil techniques.  I found this video that was extremely helpful, by Heffy Doodle, and I highly recommend it, should you choose to purchase this stencil.  You'll find important information on how to use this stencil around the 48 minute mark, if you wish to scroll to that point.

For my stenciled ink colors, I used a variety of Scrapbook.com hybrid inks including Ballet Slipper, Orange Cream, Autumn Leaves and Ranger Ink/Simon Hurley Triple Berry.  You'll find direct product links to these at the end of this post.  I highly recommend these inks!  I applied them, using the new domed ink blending tools, also from Scrapbook.com.

For a touch of sparkle, I mounted my panel onto the Tonic Studio Berry Fizz Glitter cardstock.  It is so gorgeous!  That panel was then mounted onto scored Neenah cardstock.

This card was such a pleasure to make and I can't wait to send it to a special friend or family member.  I hope you'll leave a lovely comment.  I always love to hear from my crafty friends!  Thanks so much for popping in today....  Terri
