DT PROJECT FOR BEE HAPPY CRAFTS: Countdown to Christmas

Hello again! I've been quite busy these past few weeks that I was not able to update my blog nor my other SNS accounts. This project was for the month of October. I still have several projects to be posted after this for the previous months. I hope that you check them out as well.

I  did this ages ago, but I only had the time to post it now. I still have a bunch of burlap stack from September and I wanted to alter another canvas. In order to fit with the theme for October, I made it a home decor--a sort of countdown to Christmas. I used one of the papers from Tim Holtz Menagerie Paper Stash with a pretty bird on it which is redolent of the previous month's main 'object'. 

Then I added a piece of chalkboard stack where I could write the number of remaining days before Christmas. 

I really love how it turned out. The steps in making it are really simple. I covered the canvas with burlap. I used hot glue to adhere it onto the canvas. I stenciled on the frame. I added the designer paper to cover the center of the frame. I then affixed the embellishments. I punched a hole on a diecut out of a piece of chalkboard stack and attached a hook to it so it could hang onto the flourish. 

That was that. It was an easy and fast project to make. Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you check out my next posts as well. Have a great week!

DT PROJECT FOR BEE HAPPY CRAFTS: Mr. and Mrs.

Hi again! Here is another project for BHC. It's a simple wedding card. 

I used a piece of burlap for the background then layered a card stock covered with lace on top of it.  I also tied a length of organza ribbon around the lace-covered cardstock before adhering it onto the card front. 

I wasn't thinking when I was decorating it. I just kept on adhering embellishments until I felt sleepy. When I looked at it last week it seemed odd, but when I took it out from the box where I stowed it away last time, it just felt somewhat right. I just added the sentiment and the designer paper on the inside of the card and it was finished. It was easy to make and it did not take that long to finish it. 

There is another wedding card that I am planning to make. I actually thought of it first before this card, but it is a bit time consuming so it is better if I start it over the weekend or sometime during the week when I am not too tired and sleepy from work (whenever that is). I might get to make the base tomorrow. We'll see. 

Anyway, I will have to end it here for now. I hope you liked the card I made. Thank you for stopping by!
