 Technique Blog Hop- Blank Canvas





Welcome to the CTMH Technique Blog Hop.  If you are coming from Marianne Hancock Blog, then you are on the right track
This month we are working on different ideas that you can do with just a simple 6" x 6" canvas. My theme for this project is :

FAMILY.

Finished size:  6" x 6"

Materials-

Canvas  ( Z1818)
Cricut- Artfully Sent  ( Z3017)
Red enamel Hearts  ( Z 2009)
Carstock Chocolate  (X 5643)
B & T Paper ( any with green tones)
B&T paper Yuletide Carol ( X7187B)
B&T Paper Heartstrings ( X 7193B)
Flaxen extra thick twine ( Z3036)
Stamp set Family Love ( D1506)
Stamp set Happy Mail ( C1570)
Glitter glue
Sm. brass key
Mud Pod
Brush
 Black ink Pad (Z2105)
Crystal Blue ( Z2117)
Alcohol markets
 Sponge dauber

 Cut Tree-

Tree image is in page 11 from the Artfully Sent Cricut. It is in the sleeve section, size 5.5"height.
you will need to cut one in chocolate cardstock and the other one in a B&T green tone paper, so you can alternate the leaf colors. You need to keep the chocolate top layer of the catdstock  to trace the location of the leaf and tree trunk. Set aside.

Save the top layer for tracing.

Back ground paper.
Cut a 6"x 4" of the Heartstring paper and dab with sponge dauber along the edges. Stamp the Family Love sayinf on the right side of the paper as show below.
 Stamp 2 of each clouds from the Happy Mail. One of the set of clouds will be used to make the sky background and the other one is to be glued after we fished with the background.

      

Dab Cristal Blue around the edges .

Cut two ( 6" x 2" ) B&T Paper (Yuletide) and cut a hill shape and dab with chocolate ink on the edges.These will be the ground.
                                                         

Cut grass and glue to the back of ground paper

    Brush a layer of Mod Podge on top of canvas. Place sky back ground and ground paper on top of canvas. let it dry. Paper may bubble up, just push it down until it dries.
Trace the tree trunk and leaf with a pencil. Glue pieced to canvas.

Glue leaves to canvas

                                                                                                                                




Once you have glue the tree, clouds and leaves, brush-on a layer of Mod Podge. (Do it before you add the hearts and glitter).
 Once the canvas is dried, add the hearts to the tree. Brush another layer of Mud pug and when canvas is dried you can decorate the leaves with glitter glue.



**If you add glitter before brushing Mod Podge it will cause the glitter to smear.

 Once the canvas is dried, tie twine around the canvas and  bow tie. You can add a charm with family initials or add a key like I did.

Easter 3-D Treat Bag

Carrot Treat Bag

This cute gift treat bag will be the talk on Easter. You can stuff it with gifts or candy.

Materials-

CTMH Cricut -Artiste  #Z1790

B&T Card stock

Jute

Ribbon (green)

Adhesive

Hook & Loop dots   Z1805

Score board                                                               

Glue dots

 In page 61 of the Artiste book you will find the box. Cut it at 9". This size gives you plenty of room for candy and gifts.

Score line to create the carrot shape. 

Cut  15" of jute to make handle. I recommend that you put the jute and knot each end and secure with a piece of tape before you close the sides of the carrot box.

Once your box is glued together we start to make the topper.

Cut two 7" of green ribbon and one at 5" in length. Glue the ends of the two 7" ribbon together, as to make a circle. See picture below. I used Glue dots on mine but hot glue can also work well.

Glue the 7" ribbons on top of each other. glue the 5" circle on top as seen on the picture.

Afterwards glue it on top of the large top lid of the carrot.

Glued to the inside of lid  a Hook & Loop dot( Velcro) to easily open & close.

You are done!  Now lets make a tag!
