Hi Friends! As a DT member with Linnie Blooms it's my turn to join in on this month's challenge "Create a project using a quote". Technically we're supposed to use our favorite quote but I really don't have a favorite...I have a lot that I really turn to depending on the mood or situation I'm going through. So the one I'm sharing today is more of a positive/gratitude quote.
I created an art display piece that I already have displayed in my craft room...
I also have a short video that shows you the project up close along with the products I used...
I altered a wood block using a combination of various craft paints...I wanted to match the green in the fabric I was using for the project...
While I was waiting for the block to dry, I started working on the butterfly canvas die. I am LOVING the new mixed stitch stamps Linda Barutha has designed so I wanted to incorporate them in my project...
For the rest of the project I just used some sprays and crackle paint on the wood block and fabric to give it that shabby chic feel that I love so much and then I added the other elements...
This was such a fun and easy project to create using the fabulous canvas pieces and stamps from Linnie Blooms. This would be a great gift for any occasion. Be sure to stop by the Linnie Blooms STORE and pick up some of the fun products so you can use them on your crafting projects. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project. Happy Crafting!!
Hi Friends! Today I have a super fun & quick tag to share with you today using a couple of the Linnie Blooms Canvas Die pieces .
I used the butterfly canvas die piece to coordinate with the stamp and the smaller black butterflies. I played with some of my Gelatos and added a flower stamen to mimic the antenna and some black flat back pearls for the center of the butterfly.
I had a partial piece of the flower canvas die left from another project so I tucked it behind my stamped tag. I really like how it turned out.
This is a great quick and easy project that you can create to brighten someones day. You could leave it on their desk at work, pop it in the mail or attach it to a small gift or bottle of wine.
Be sure to stop by the Linnie Blooms store and pick up some of these fun and fabulous canvas dies pieces for your crafting projects.

Hi Friends! Today I have a project to share with you that gives you a peek into a special weekend with my hubby & myself. I created a mixed media layout that uses not one...not two...but three Linnie Bloom products.
I have a short video that shows you the project up close along with the Linnie Bloom items I used...
My hubby and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary on July 19th and we went to the beautiful Oregon Coast for a special weekend. I wanted to create a mixed media layout that I could add to my gallery wall in our living room and the Linnie Blooms goodies I used just added that special touch.
I wanted to recreate the gorgeous sun we saw when I took this photo of us so I used the Bloom Stencil along with some Lindy's spray to create the illusion of a sun in the background...
It might be hard to tell since I have scrap paper covering the cardstock but this is in the upper right hand corner of the page...love how this turned out : ) I wanted use the Canvas Picket Fence and I knew right away how I wanted to incorporate this on my layout. Since we were on the beach, I wanted to make this fence look like it had been exposed to the sun and sand a bit so I used a couple of Lindy's sprays and a stencil to make it look weathered a little bit...
I was SO excited to get the chance to use one of the new stamp sets that are coming to Linnie Blooms soon. Linda has designed some stamps that tie in with the Mixed Stitch concept she has and I love how it added that special touch to my project....
Ready for some photos of the completed layout???
This was such a fun layout to create and I love how the Linnie Blooms products I used really added to the look I was going for. Be sure to head to the Linnie Blooms SHOP and pick up some of these FAB goodies to use in your crafting projects.

Hi Friends! Today I'll be showing you how I freshened up one of my older projects using the canvas pieces from Linnie Blooms .
This is how it looked before...
This is a mini canvas I made around 7 years ago...I liked it then but I wanted to freshen it up a bit and give it a new look. I have a short video that shows you the project up close along with the Linnie Blooms products I used...
I used one of the tree canvas pieces as one of my background elements. I gave it some texture by using a script background stamp and used the Green Tea Gelato....
We were at a local amusement park called The Enchanted Forest, so I thought adding the canvas tree would be fun & fitting. To have the photo "pop" off the canvas I used one of the Mixed Stitch Canvas pieces as my background for the photo. To add some color, I used more of my Gelatos in Lemon and Bubble Gum.
I think it turned out pretty cute : )
Using the Linnie Bloom Mixed Stitch and canvas pieces is a great way to update one of your older projects or to just simply mix it up a bit. Thanks for stopping by the Linnie Blooms blog today and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project. Happy Crafting : )
Hi Friends! Today I have a super fun project to share with all of you for Linnie Bloom's July challenge~Patriotism. I don't know about all of you but I LOVE the 4th of July. My hubby's birthday is July 3rd so it's a weekend of celebrations in our family.
For this challenge I created a vintage inspired tag using one of the FAB LB Canvas Flower pieces...
I also have a video that not only shows you the tag up close but I show you how I altered the flower and turned it into a Patriotic flower...
I wanted to mimic the stripes in the American Flag so I used a stencil from TCW and some red glimmer spray on the flower...
Sorry...I didn't realize the photo was turned until it was too late...but you get the idea right?? : )
After drying the flower with my heat tool, I used one of my Distress Markers in Chipped Sapphire and inked around the edges....
I dried this thoroughly with my heat tool and then spritzed it lightly with some water. I wanted to crinkle the flower so it would have some added dimension and texture, so I once again used my heat tool and my tweezers and dried it in the crumpled shape...
I really like how this turned out...
This was such a fun tag to create and I love how the LB Canvas Flower really stands out and is the star of the tag. I'll be using this for sure amongst my 4th of July decorations for this years celebration. Be sure to stop by the Linnie Blooms store and pick up some of the amazing mixed stitch/canvas pieces for yourself.

Hi Friends! Today I'm back with another fun DT project to share with all of you. This time I created a cool teenage-themed mixed media tag using some of the canvas flower pieces from the BLOOM collection.
I also have a video that shows you the tag up close along with a short tutorial on how I altered the bloom canvas pieces & used them as the skirt for my Prima Doll Stamp....
I really wanted to create something different with the bloom pieces and use them in a different application other than a flower. I knew I wanted to have some sort of texture/image on the canvas so I used some Archival Jet Black ink and used one of my background stamps...
Next I used some spray that I watered down a bit with some water on the canvas pieces (please note that I didn't cut the flowers in half until after they were sprayed)....
I used my TH Tiny Attacher to create pleats on each end of the flower piece I was using. This created a draped and skirt like effect with the pieces. I just made the pleats go in a little further with each layer to create that ruffled skirt look...
Once that final step was complete, I just began layering all the elements on my tag. Super easy :)
I just love how the skirt came out using the Bloom canvas pieces. Such a fun project that really is quick to create. Be sure to head over to the Linnie Blooms store and pick up some fun canvas pieces to use on your mixed media & other crafty projects.
Happy Crafting!!!
