Despite the fact that Spring Training is currently in lock out, baseball is still on the minds of those that love the sport in out family. It was fun creating these pieces to share the spirit of the game with them.
You'll find all the details for creating most of these pieces on The Artistry. Click here.
And there's a free file associated with this project -- so be sure to pick that up.
This was such a fun project to make. The original design is from Simply Crafty SVGs.
This antiqued version of the milk can is fairly easy to replicate and I hope you'll enjoy making one too.
The supply list is pretty basic:
Milk Can SVG
Cardstock (Sea by Bazzill)
glue
acrylic paint (Off White, Black)
paper crimper
foam brush
ground cinnamon
Clear Acrylic sealer (optional)
Printer
Cut the following pieces for the can:
Lid pieces
Can pieces (handles optional)
Bottom panels (the top decorative panel pieces were not used)
Assemble the lid and can as directed in the video. BUT do not put the decorative panels on yet.
Once the can has been assembled, using the foam brush, dry brush some of the off white paint on the sides for some highlights.
Dry brush the bottom decorative panels with the white paint.
Once the paint has dried, crimp each of the decorative panels. Glue the panels to the can. They should fit snugly between the seams.
Add the ring pieces that have also been dry brushed.
If desired, add a label. This was created in SCAL 5 and the "Farm Fresh" was printed and then the label was cut using the print2cut feature of the SCAL software.
Using a small amount of black paint and the corner of a foam brush, create some "rust" areas using the paint on the label. While the paint is still wet, add a little ground cinnamon to a few of the wet areas. Brush some of the excess cinnamon away if desired. Let the paint finish drying.
Repeat the process for the can and lid to add some "rust" as desired. Let the paint dry.
Lightly spray the can and lid with the clear acrylic spray. Let dry.
The finished can stands about 6 inches high. It's perfect for displaying a bouquet of spring flowers or filling with treats for a gift. Or it can stand on its own on a shelf or in the kitchen window. Enjoy!
It's been fun to do a little designing again, now that COVID has left the house for the second time. Having some fun in SCAL5 Pro. These cute Bunny Pops were easy to create using some basic shapes, a few clicks of the mouse and a little bit of time gluing together.
Mini brads for eyes, rhinestone for a nose and twine for the whiskers. Add a little chalk for the pink in the ears and on the cheeks. Add a skewer and a bow.
The bunnies looked a little lonely, so I added a chick pop to the mix. There will be more, but this is the only one that's finished as of right now. ;)
This was also created in SCAL5 Pro using basic shapes and a few commands. There are a few more ready to assemble, so looking forward to getting a basket filled for some Easter decor.
Fun adaptation of the Gnome file from Simply Crafty Svgs. The details on their blog today! Signboard my own design and the Beads Please clip art and paper from two Mardi Gras collections found at Creative Fabrica.com.
all pieces matted in #SCAL5 Pro and cut with the #Skycut.
I had some fun creating this project for this year's St. Patrick's Day celebration!
A fun Rainbow, gold coins, a pot and of course a top hat with lots of shamrocks and clovers fit the bill. Check out all the details on The Artistry today! Cutting files are all available at CreativeFabrica.com.
I had some fun playing with some files from Simply Crafty SVGs. The Football Helmet file was languishing in my stash of cutting files -- and it was time to make a couple.
Add the Sports Trophy file to the mix and we've got a centerpiece for the big game.
The helmets were actually pretty quick to put together... I didn't add the pull-out treat box. I figured there'd be plenty of other stuff gracing the table. However, the helmets are small enough you could make a bunch as favors for your guests.
This project was featured on the blog at SimplyCraftySVGs.com and on instagram.
It's been a busy couple of weeks of crafting! Lots of fun, but didn't update the blog. So here goes with post 1 of the day.
Playing with a bit of mosaic and using the new Valentines Heart Box from Simply Crafty SVGs. It's beautiful. The dragonfly is an image I found online. The paper is from Creative Fabrica and SCAL5 Pro and the SkyCut C24 handled the mosaic cutting perfectly on 12 x 12 photo paper.
TIP: Use the intersection command in SCAL to cut an inset shadow version of the dragon fly over the mosaic abstract.
I really like the shape of this box.... I'll be making more of them, that's for sure
Using some drops of Dimensional glaze on the colored pieces adds the final touch for the look of china. A more detailed process article has just published on The Artistry. See this blog post.
This was such a fun project to make and I'm glad that it's now live on The Artistry. Check out all the details here. I've also done a couple of other similar projects using paper mosaic pieces and They will post shortly here on the blog.
Here's what this final piece looked like:
A second heart:
Using the same paper, just a different part of the cut photo paper. Not sure which one I like better -- but both are heading out the door as gifts in the next few days. Wood for both hearts is from Thoughts in Vinyl.
Dingbat fonts are fun! The wreath used in this card was created using a dingbat font I found on Creative Fabrica. Check out all the details (including a process video) on The Artistry.
I also created a couple of other versions - using the same dingbat font -- but finished them differently. And remember those hearts I stenciled in the last post? Well they were used on these cards. The wreaths and hearts are created in SCAL5 Pro and cut with the Skycut C24. And the card below was colored using some NUVO drops.
and here's a close up to show some of the details:
The same process in creating the wreaths was used as in the post on The Artistry.. so be sure to check it out.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you've carved out some creative time this week.
