Momenta/Art-C: Art Box


Today's post isn't about what I sent to CHA for the Momenta/Art-C booth.  Today's project features "NEW PRODUCT" that was Debuted at the Winter CHA show in Anaheim, California.  

I picked up this cute distressed box at a big box store and thought it would be so cute stenciled up.  

So here we go.  I am showing you a step by step of what I did to create this cute box.  

INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1:  Gather your supplies.  I wasn't sure what color I wanted to do so I gathered all the 2016 new release product that I had so I can use them on this project.  


Step 2:  I decided to go with the Country Pink Ultra Matte Chalk Paint and the flower stencil from the set "Flowers and Bugs Adhesive Stencil".  

I put some paint on my non stick mat and used my 'groove tool' and the small brush to add the paint to my project.  The small brush is perfect for the small areas.  

I added all around the box.  

  

Step 3: After the pink flowers have dried completely.  

I placed my large stencil on the area to the left of the box first.  I used Country Green Ultra Matte Chalk Paint and the brush applicator to the groove tool and only added the Country Green paint to the area where the pink flowers were not.  

I then- picked up my stencil and moved it over, carefully aligning it up with the lattice template already painted on-Then I finished adding the Country Green paint over to the right of the box.  

I only did this for the front and back of the box and not the sides. 

This is what it will look like when you are done.
 


Step 4:  After the Country Green paint has dried completely I added letters from the 'Alphabet Adhesive Stencil' to say 'ART'.  I placed the letters on the bottom right of the box.
 

Step 5:  I used Steel Luxe Paint and my Groove Tool with the small brush attacher to add paint to the letters. I love the stainless steel look.   


Step 6:  After the paint has dried, add your art supplies to the box.  





Thank you for stopping by.  Hope you have a great day!

Momenta/Art-C: Project #4 for CHA

Hi Friends,

Good Morning!  Here is the final project I made for the Momenta / Art-C booth at the Winter CHA in Anaheim, California.  

For this project I used a Configuration Type wood box set that I picked up at a big box store.  It was already put together, all I had to do was paint and alter it.  


I used my scissors to distress some of the edges of the paper to make it a little more vintage'y.  
The picture that I am using is of my Husband and me for our Christmas Cards this year.  

 

I really love how it turned out.  A nice size for a home decor piece.  
Supplies I used:
Various Ephemera Packs by Art-C
Flowers & Bugs Adhesive Stencil by Momenta
Nautical Adhesive Stencil by Momenta
Roman Calligraphy Alphabet Stencil by Momenta
Serif Alphabet Adhesive Stencil by Momenta
White Ultra Chalk Soft Matte Paint by Art-C
Country Blue Ultra Chalk Matte Paint by Art-C
Country Green Ultra Chalk Matte Paint by Art-C
Gray Ultra Chalk Soft Matte Paint by Art-C
Metallic Gold Paint by Art-C
Groove Tool by Art-C
Small Paint brush

Cute Owl Frame


Hey Friends,
 
Who doesn't love Home Décor?  This frame is simply adorable.  Would be so stinking cute in a little girls room or even a Shower Gift for an expectant mother.  Neither of which I have.  lol  
I enjoyed making this frame non-the-less. 
I suppose I could maybe send it to one of my nieces?  We will see...
Little details: 
1.  The feathers were made from a circle scalloped punch. 
2.  The owl pattern was drawn out and cut with scissors. 
3.  I inked around the edges to soften it up a bit. 
4.  Used buttons as the eyes. 
5.  The frame is a 8 x 8 frame from Michaels and I used paper inside. 
6.  I sewn around the grey mat to add a little more detail to the framed picture. 
7.  The owl was adhered using foam dots for the depth.
Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you have a great week-end.

Day 9: 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome & Thank you so much for stopping by the blog hop today for DAY 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.

*****************************

*****************************
For today's post I wanted to share with you a project I did with my Mother & sister in Tennessee over the Thanksgiving Holiday.  We each made a cute little Snow Family.  

A little funny note.  My Mom & I went to Walmart to buy stuff for our Snow Families.  We both have never made these little guys before and we new we needed socks.  So we go to the men's section to get white socks and we got a pack of socks that had 6 pairs plus a free pair.  So that makes a total of 7 pairs of socks.  We were thinking we would only get 7 snowmen out of a pack of socks.  So we bought 5 packs of white socks and probably about 10 - 15 packs of decorated women's socks with patterns.  (there were 2 - 5 pairs per pack).  We get home and realize we over bought on the socks as you get 7 pairs per pack and that is 14 snowmen.  Not the 7 we had originally thought.  lol

Day 6: 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop


Welcome & Thank you so much for stopping by the blog hop today for DAY 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.

*****************************
If you arrived from Daphne's blog you are in the right place.  If you just started the hop you may want to start at the beginning by clicking here. 
*****************************
For Day 6 I wanted to something home decor.  I had seen Kerri Bradford do a frame similar to this one and new instantly I wanted to make some for my family.  

You can purchase the "Jingle all the Way" from Kerri Bradford Store.  
The Frame only measures 5 x 7.  I got a 4 pack on sale at Michael's for $9.99.  The paper is from a paper pad I purchased from Michael's as well.  I think it is from the Heidi Swapp Christmas paper pad.  I cut the vinyl out of my Silhouette Cameo.   


This one here is a different pattern paper on the inside.  And it is an 8 x 10 frame instead of the smaller one.  This came as a 3 pack and on sale for $9.99 regular 19.99.  This paper here is by Teresa Collins.
