Canvases: Creating mixed-media style canvases couldn’t be easier when using patterned papers from the Colorful Life collection! I decided to pair the papers with some fun Suzi Blu stamps in order to create these mini canvases to dress up my home décor. To begin, I cut out my favorite patterned papers from the 8 x 8" Colorful Life Stack (5DW-COL8X8). Save the scraps from the papers to use for card making after you are finished! Next, I glued the papers onto three 4 x 8" canvases (5CV-70466) using a gel medium (5EC-05305) as my adhesive. I chose three colors of acrylic paint—white, ocean and raspberry (5EC-01009) to coordinate with the colors in the papers and used them to paint the edges of the canvases. While the paint is drying you can stamp your Suzi Blu images. |

The three stamps I chose are Party Love, Party Girl, and Love Yourself (5UN-SUZI808A - DISCONTINUED, 5UN-SUZI810A - DISCONTINUED and 5UN-SUZI726A - DISCONTINUED), so I could have a different girl for each canvas. Stamp the images straight onto white cardstock with black ink (5TS-BLACK). StazOn dries very quickly so go ahead and cut it out fairly close to the image, leaving approximately 1/8" around the edges. Using pop dots (5JV-12296) or foam adhesive, attach one girl image onto each canvas. The adhesive will give the images added dimension. Cards: After making the canvases, you should be left with an excess of three pieces of 4 x 8" cardstock. Cut each piece in half, so you will then have six pieces of 4 x 4" cardstock to make some handmade cards. Using cards from the white stationery pack (4SP001 - DISCONTINUED), glue the 4 x 4" pieces straight onto the center of each card. Then, stamp or embellish as you wish! I added some small clip art images (5AR-M160) and simple stamped designs using the a u t h e n t i c p a r t y, c h e e r s f o r l o v e and h i d d e n t w e e t s clear stamp sets to add a little interest to the cards. |
