DIY Lily wall art

Hello there!  I made this wall art for a little girl's room.  It was a birthday present for Lily from my daughter.  My video is at the bottom on how I made it!

I have a 10x10 canvas, a card stock pack I got from Wal-mart, and Basic Black card stock from Stampin' Up! that I used for the letters.

I first cut out Lily using my Cricut Expression.  The cartridge was Classic Fonts.  I believe I cut it out at 5''.  I can't quiet remember.

Then I scored the flowered card stock 1'' around all 4 sides.  I then Modge Podge all over the canvas and smoothed out all bubbles that I could. 

  I glued, (I'm just gonna say glued because its faster.)  the edges and stapled them down on the back.  I folded the corners in and stapled them too.

Then I glued the top of the canvas/ card stock and completely let it dry.  Glued on Lily and also went over that.  Let it dry and..

poof!..

Valentines!!

So this year I made the kids Valentines.  I used my Cricut Imagine, and some Valentine paper pack from Hobby Lobby.  This is real simple to make. 

First you need are...these!!

Any candy will do, as long as it fits inside the right size baggie you are using.

The size bag I'm using for this project are 3''x4'' baggies I got from Hobby Lobby.

For the Hersey Nuggets,  I cut card stock at 1''x3'' and put adhesive in the center, and on both ends.  I used my ATG gun, because it would hold better. 

Then I stuffed my baggies full of candy!!! For a 3''x4'' baggie, the M&M's fun size fits perfectly.

For the bag top, I cut the card stock at 3 1/2'' x 4''.  Then I folded it in half to make 3 1/2'' x 2''. 

For the image, ( I dont know what it's called, lol)  I used the Cricut Imagine stock images.  It is at 2''.

So for this image,  I used 2 stamps I got from Hobby Lobby.  The double heart and the saying 'be my valentine'   The ink I used for the hearts are Stampin' Up! Real Red.  For the saying I used Memento Tuxedo Black.

I then used Stampin' Up! marker Basic Black, for the words.

For the top, I folded the 3 1/2''x 4'' card stock in half, then stuck the baggie slightly into the bottom, then staple it!

Then, I used the Image to cover up the staple.  I used pop dots from Hobby Lobby.

I had to make 21 of these.  These ones are for my daughter.  I then had to make 20 more for my son.  His are girly looking too (I havent seen blue valentine paper) but I don't think pre school kids will mind once the see candy.

These are my son's.

So enjoy!  You can make these candy bags for any occasion.

DIY Wall art

Hello there!  It's been awhile.  I've been busy.  But I got crafts up the sleeve!  Here is my video of how to do wall art using canvas and card stock.   This is the first time I have made this and I have imperfections in it.  But I know how to fix it for next time.   Watch the video and reads below.

This is a very easy project.   All I used was a 10x10 canvas that I got from Hobby Lobby.  And I had also got the Tim Holtz card stock pack. 

I used the card stock at 12x12.  I also used a stapler for extra hold.

What I did was measure and scored 1 inch around all the edges of the paper.  To give the extra bend around the canvas. 

Then I Modge Podged the top of the canvas and placed the canvas on top centered within the center of the paper.  I pressed down firmly around the bottom of the canvas and the canvas itself.   Then I glued around the edges bending the paper around the canvas.  I also used scissors to diagonally cut the corners to fold the corners around the canvas.    I smooth out the edges and then bent them again to wrap around the bottom of the canvas.  I then used the stapler to give it extra hold. 

I flipped the canvas back over and then Modge Podged the whole canvas and sides.  Let it dry.  I place it under a desk light to help speed up the process.  

I have wall art!!
