Valentine Canvas

Valentine's Day is just around the corner.  I needed just a little accessory to put on my stack of books to finish off my decor.  I remembered the little canvas squares I bought earlier in the year and in no time at all I had this piece finished.

I cut the heart and the word love from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits set using red glimmer paper.  It needed something and I had this flower that I made (using the retired Spiral Flower Die) some time ago from a thrifted red cashmere sweater.  I added it and voila – done!  

It was just the right touch to put on my stack of books

Heads up – there will be 3 new Sale-a-brations items available on February 21.  Demonstrators get to preorder them so I expect to have them in my hands soon.  Watch for more info as the release date approaches.

Thanks for looking

4" Paper Mache Letters Christmas Joy

I have been decorating paper mache letters for every season and occasion for some time.  I was so excited to find these small 4" letters!  I knew that they would be perfect for a hostess gift.

I started by tracing the letter onto This Christmas Designer Series Paper and Red Glimmer Paper then paint the letters with acrylic paint.  While the letters are drying I cut out the paper letters.  I used Tomorrow Multipurpose Adhesive to adhere the paper.  I applied a little Soft Suede ink to the edges with a sponge dauber, it hides the white core of the paper a little.

Embellish as little or as much as you would like.  I used ribbon, charms, rhinestones, fussy cut pieces of Designer Series Paper, and a star cut from the Star of Light Framelits

Have fun making your own letters!
