Mini Canvases with Shimmerz and Gesso

I have a new tutorial up for Shimmerz!

Canvas Art Board Album Cover with Coloringz

It's been a while since I posted here on my tutorial blog, but I am in the process of dumping a lot of tutorials here, mostly videos now girls! 

This is my latest using Shimmerz Coloringz - a brilliant product.

From the Shimmerz Ed Vlog:

I am in LOVE with Coloringz.  The colors are so VIBRANT and just work so well together, and the blending is fantastic.  So are you surprised that again, I am using them in this month's video?

For this video, I used 3 Coloringz , 1 Pearlz and stamps. 

Hope you enjoy!

LARGE SPRITZED AND STAMPED CANVAS FLOWER

Here is a picture tutorial for you!  A very easy project that requires you to have a sewing machine (to sew the ribbon for the edging).  If you don't sew, just omit the ribbon edging or sew it with a needle and thread!



Click on the images to enlarge them and to see the directions.

Stitch the top and pull tight to form a flower.

Adhere a pre made flower for the center, stitching it in place.

Here is a close up of the Shimmerz spritzed canvas and that cute bicycle stamp from Unity Stamp Co (Melody Ross Collection).

I finished off the back with a piece of fabric that was die cut with a circle die cut from Spellbinders. See that FAUX suede leaf ribbon from May Arts?  Cute isn't it!  I used my Glue Gun from Glue Arts to adhere the fabric circle.

BOTTLE CAP MAGNETS

I own a Silhouette Die Cut Machine (electronic, cuts from software on the computer).  It's a wonderful invention!  Car Accents is a vinyl made by Glue Arts and comes in all colors!  They are 12x12 sheets, which can be cut to fit into the Silhouette machine.  You can use the "cut piece" as well by placing it on the cutting matte.  This tutorial can be applied to any season or theme, the shapes are endless.  Keep in mind that your shapes should be no larger than 1", so intricate designs may not work that well.

The pictures below are in order of HOW TO.

Supplies:
Glue Arts Car Accents (Blackout)
Glue Arts Extreme Micro Adhesive Squares
Glue Arts Adhesive Squares
Bottle Caps
Magnets
UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) by Ranger Industries
Patterned Paper
1 1/8 inch Hole Punch
Ink (Dark Brown)
Silhouette Die Cut Machine
Halloween Die Cut Files
Tin Foil
Toaster Oven

Instructions:
1. Run Glue Arts Car Accents vinyl through your die cutting machine to cut out 1 inch Halloween images.
2. Punch round patterned paper circles, ink around edges.
3. Adhere paper inside the bottle caps with Glue Arts Extreme Micro Adhesive Squares.
4. Pour UTEE inside each bottle cap, place on plate covered in tin foil, heat set in toaster oven (approximately 5 minutes on broil – watch carefully).
5. Let cool and apply Car Accents Halloween images.
6. Adhere magnets to the back side of the bottle cap with Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares.

HAVE FUN!
