Valentine’s Day Shadowbox

Valentine's Day Shadowbox

I wanted to make a project that would work for Valentine's Day, but that I could leave out longer to cheer up a dreary winter. My girls love hearts, so I knew that they wouldn't object! This Valentine's Day Shadowbox fits the bill perfectly. It's all about being positive, and I love having that out for everyone to see. I used: IKEA Ribba frame Hazel & Ruby Pass the Tissue, Quote Collage Hazel & Ruby Stencil-Mask, Child's Play decopage scrabble tiles Metallic Lustre ... Read More

Give Thanks Framed Art

Give Thanks Framed Art

I love the idea of seasonal artwork and have started creating my own. I've never really decorated for Thanksgiving specifically and decided it was time to change that. I wanted something simple and came up with this Give Thanks Framed Art. I used a frame I picked up on sale, Wrap It Up Statement Floral, Stencil-Masks in Holiday Shapes and Dear Ruby Alpha, Mod Podge, green paint, and a bit of glitter. I pulled out the paper insert from the frame and used that as my canvas. I covered ... Read More

Mixed Media Travel Board Book

Mixed Media Travel Board Book

I have always been fascinated by mixed media and have wished that I had a knack for it. I've been getting braver this year and have been trying my hand at more mixed media projects. I had originally thought to make this Mixed Media Travel Board Book for a swap because I thought it would be a quicker project than my usual cross stitching, but as it turned out, I probably spent double the time on it (and loved every second!). This won't be my usual "how-to" style post because I'm just not sure ... Read More

House Hoop Art

House Hoop Art

You guys know that hoop art is one of my favorite things ever. I look at everything around me and wonder what it would look like in a hoop. My skills with the sewing machine are severely lacking, but I love hand stitching, so when I saw the Crafternoon House Pillow, I knew what I needed to do to make it work for me. I have been wanting to add to Matilda's hoop art collection, and making House Hoop Art was the perfect answer. I used the House Pillow Crafternoon kit and a 9" ... Read More

Halloween Tombstone Decorations

Halloween Tombstone Decorations

I went all out for Halloween this year. Wandering craft stores and raiding my stash gave me far more inspiration than I had time for, but I ended up with a lot of fun pieces that I'll use for years to come. My Halloween Tombstone Decorations didn't take long to make and are a perfect addition to a display that needs a little something more. This post first appeared on Hazel & Ruby's blog. I used a pack of paper mache tombstones that I found at JoAnn's and DIY Decor Tape in Multicolor ... Read More

Mixed Media Haunted House

Mixed Media Haunted House

I love a good haunted house and have visions of creating an entire village of them for Halloween (or, let's be honest--I'd keep them up year-round!). When I saw Hazel & Ruby's Halloween DIY Decor Tapes, I knew that they'd be perfect for a Mixed Media Haunted House. This post first appeared on Hazel & Ruby's blog. I found a paper mache house from Darice and used DIY Decor Tape in Spider Webs, Multicolor Stripes, and Multicolor Dots. I painted a quick coat of black on the ... Read More
