DT: Christmas Canvases

 

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I made three Christmas Canvases which was sold at our AHG troop booth in our first Christmas Bazaar for our parish.

Here are some pictures of the details for each canvas:

1st:

Each canvas have these main components:

1. Stencil background for the already painted canvas- I used stencils and glitter / glue (Nuvo dots, FSJ glitter and decofoil glue pen for the first canvas, and IZink Diamonds glitter paints for the third canvas) or Tattered Angel shimmer sprays for the second canvas.

2. a punched border/ horizontal strip- I used Martha Stuart punch around the page punches for snowflakes and ornaments. (lower right corner)

3. a fussy cut vertical strip, showing the rough part of the paper, which I distressed with metallic inks. (upper right corner)

4. two printed mats. Top one 5x7 in. with faux stitching around the border. Lower mat, a little bit bigger, with drie embossing and distressing with ink. (Left upper corner).

5. a cloth pin with wooden embellistment on top to pin a Christmas card or picture (from Dollar Tree, picture shown bellow). I added some glitter for more texture. (left lower corner).

6. Big Title: 

1st Canvas: glitter die cut sentiments (CTMH), digital image in a die cut frame (Tim Holtz die)

2nd canvas: sentiment sticker (CTMH)

3rd. canvas: Stamped sentiment and thin cut (CTMH) and stamped menger image/ thin cut (CTMH) and tag (tattered lace die).

7. and a big 3D embellistment: 

1st. canvas: gliter felt snowflake

2nd. canvas: big glitter bows die cuts with brad (Heartfelt Creation dies, CTMH brad) and glitter gift die cut (CTMH).

3rd. canvas: Nativity layered die cut (Spellbinders dies).

2nd:

3rd:

I cut all the die cuts with my SNAP and used these other materials and tools:

Here is a pictures of some of the other items, my children and I made for the bazaar:

In my next post, I will include the clear ball ornaments shown in this picture.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy project and please make sure to visit Craftwell for more inspiration and to follow me.

CraftWell DT: Virgen del Valle Magnet

 

Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I made a frame for a picture magnet from a painting of mine:

I took the picture magnet and added to white card stock. In the back I added a print out of Our Lady of the Valley story:

The frame is double sided, so that the nice gold foiled frame could accent better the story in the back as well.

I made the frame out of die cuts from the Tattered Lace Column set dies (one of my favorites) using my SNAP machine while at work. I made this frame picture magnet for one of my boses for his birthday.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy, though elegant project and please make sure to visit  Craftwell for more inspiration and to follow me.

Happy October,

and stay safe from this pandemic.

DT: Nurse’s Office Door Sign

 

Dear Scrappers,

This is my post for Craftwell:

For this post, I decided to use my SNAP to create a door sign for my work:

I got some ideas from Pinterest, but decided to use flowers instead of stars to make it my own.

I wanted to continue the same design I used for my sanitation stations. Thus, I cut letters and Tiles from DCWV Unicorns and Rainbows paper, using the BoBunny larger alpha dies and Tattered Lace dies.

Here are some of the dies and the paper pack I used:

I cut a 7.5 x 7.5 in square out of chalk board paper. I cut 3 pieces (7 x 2 in.) of gold thick card stock to make the frames for the word tiles. For the smaller tiles, I cut 6 DCWV paper rectangles (3 x 1.5 in.) to frame the 2.75 x 1.25 in. black chalk board paper. I glued all frame titles uding double side tape to the big chalk board square leaving an upper border to add my title.

Then, I cut flowers, leaves, and the alpha die cuts using my SNAP machine. 

Then, I trimmed 2 cards from the cards printed paper to die cut my smilly face in gold and the (CraftWell) paper clip heart. I glued them together and glued it to a wooden cloth pin to make my sign marker.

Later, I realized that I should have glued the die cuts separated and on both side of the cloth pin, so remedied that by die cutting an arrow from the left over card and adding touches of black with a marker to emphazise the arrow and I added more black aound the heart (not shown), the smilly face. I paper pieced a nurse's hat and colored the cross with red gel pen:

Here some closer views of the finished door sign:

Again, I was able to use my SNAP machine while at work and now I have a nice sign to meke me smile while I'm working.

I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy project and please make sure to visit Craftwell for more inspiration and to follow me.

Happy September,

and stay safe from this pandemic.

Pile It On! #131 - Fancy Folds and/or Birds

Dear scrappers a new challenge at Pile It On:

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
his month at Pile It On we're challenging you to use Fancy Folds. As it's the middle of the month, we have a bonus theme for you: Put a Bird on It! You can use one theme or combine them. You can enter our challenge as many times you like, as long as you are inspired by at least one other Challenge theme. 

We're sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and one lucky participant will receive 4 digi stamps of their choice. The prize winner and Sweet Sprinkles will be announced on July 9. 

From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects at Bugaboo Stamps. And be sure to join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

For this challenge, I decided to use my new Twist & Pop Card -die from tattered lace and my Cut N Boss:

This is a friendship/thanks card:

 I left it with a shaped card. I sued watercolor pencils and the CTMH blender to color that single bird. CTMH cardstock and printed paper.
For the inside:

I used several alpha dies from Tattered lace and boBonny, and even paperwishes die of the month (you)

 The thanks is also from paper wishes.

I'm thinking in outlining the letters with markers to make them pop better. This is my first twist and pop card, hopefully you like it.

Many Blessings

Vicky Tovar
