Let It Snow Canvas

Hi everyone!  It's Robbie today with a little canvas that I made using some of the new Winter release chipboard pieces.

Let It Snow

I have been into purple and blue lately because my daughter's apartment is decorated primarily in purple, blue and gold.  I love these non traditional colors for Christmas projects and especially for winter projects.

 

The background of this 6x12" canvas is covered with a  piece of wrapping paper.  I just used Mod Podge to adhere it, then gave it a light mist of Color Shine.  The paper is silver and white, but I knew that I wanted to add gold as the primary metallic color.

I really love the idea of using wrapping paper for things that will sit out during the holidays.  In my case, I only buy what I love and what co-ordinates with my decor.

Tip:  Ok... weird tip for today!  If you want AWESOME wrapping paper, try TJ Maxx, Marshalls or Home Goods.  They are all owned by the same company and they have the BEST foil papers!!   They are also really inexpensive compared to buying them at other stores.  :)

 

You can see in the close-up that this is a really glittery project!  Be prepared to get covered!  

I first put purple glitter on the entire snowflake.  After it was dry, I just took my paint brush and dabbed in a few places with glue and added the blue glitter.  Repeat the same process for the gold glitter.

I also did the edges the same way.  I did use purple paint, but decided that the glue worked better.  

 

For the bling in the background, I just glued the blue trim down and then added adhesive jewels.   I also added some jewels in the center of the snowflakes.  

Finish the project off with a sentiment and a bow.  Actually a really easy and quick little sign to set out during the winter.  

Tip:  Since I am giving shopping tips for this post, I thought I would let you know that I picked up the trim at Michaels for $1.   They have several colors in the $1.50 spot, but always dig a bit in the dollar ribbon bin.  You never know what you might find.

Of course, while you are shopping make a stop by the Leaky Shed Store!

Supplies Used:

Six Snowflakes 907-42 

Snowflake Ornament

Noel Christmas Banner

Christmas is coming and for many of us decorating for the holidays will begin soon, if it hasn't already. I am planning to start my decorating right after Thanksgiving and I wanted to get a jump start by creating a Noel Christmas Banner to hang on our media cabinet for our family Christmas dinner. I think it would also look great hanging on a mantel or even on the wall. The banner I created was easy to put together with some fabulous Leaky Shed Studio chipboard, ribbon, patterned paper and glitter glue.

Let's take a closer look at how I created my banner:

1. Begin with 6 of the Pennant Banners as your base.
2. Cover each banner piece with Christmas themed patterned paper. 
3. String the banner pieces to together by tying each piece to the next piece using a 16" length of red ribbon. Once the ribbon is threaded through the neighboring banner pieces, tie the ribbon in a bow.
4. Spell the word "Noel" using the Large Type 4" Alphabet and cover each letter with gold glitter.
5. Create the white outline by adhering each chipboard letter to white cardstock and trim around it with scissors.
6. Attach letters to banner base.
7. Embellish with paper holly leaves and jewels.

Some options for creating the holly leaves would be to cut them by hand, use a metal die or use an electronic cutting machine.  I cut mine using a digital cutting file that I created and cut with my Silhouette Cameo. If you are interested in this cutting file, it will be available to download for FREE on my blog tomorrow along with a more detailed supply list.
