EAD Blog Hop-Christmas Subway Art

Hi everyone! Welcome to the EAD Designs blog hop. If you are joining us please start HERE so you don't miss anything, or if you came from Jenn's blog you're in the right spot.

Wow I cannot believe how close we are getting to Christmas already! But I am still bringing out the homemade decorations..because besides presents-decorating for the season is the next best thing! lol :) So here's a fun DIY project I made using EAD's Christmas Subway Art. I LOVE the way this came out! 

We went to Lowes to pick out our Christmas tree (we always get them there..great price!)..anywho while we were there I picked up some wood I could use for my subway art.It was only a couple of bucks and I got it cut in half so I have leftover for another project! ;)

I just painted the wood red with some glossy craft paint, waited for it to dry and added the vinyl. So easy! Hope you like it!

Ok, now time for the next stop

EAD Hop- Marshmallow World Canvas

Hi there! Today is the start of the EAD Designs weekly hop, to join in the fun (and always prizes) please start HERE, or if you came from Jenn's blog you're in the right spot.

I have been on a DIY kick lately, so that is what I want to share today. I went into the Design Center in the EAD shop and made my own design with this fun Christmas-time quote.

When you use the Design Center you can customize the size, color and font of your quotes .

I have to admit I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest and I saw this fun project and just loved the quote.

I kept mine pretty simple by just rubbing the vinyl straight onto a 12x12 canvas, and then inked the edges a bit.

For my quote I used brown vinyl and I also used a couple of snowflake rub-ons in brown aswell. :)

I hope you like it!

Ok, now time to keep hopping along to you r next stop...

Happy Holidays! 

Christmas Canvas

Hi there! Sorry it's been a little quite around here. The holidays season is officially kicking my butt! lol..yesterday was Natalie's 2nd birthday and I'm planning her party for this weekend.

((Here's the birthday girl..she loves ketchup! lol))

....Thanksgiving was great..busy, but fun. And my Christmas shopping hasn't even started! yikes! So with all this business I feel like my craft room is just collecting dust right now. Hopefully after the new year I'll get some mojo back..but in the mean time I have been doing some Christmas decorating around the house. I made some easy canvas "paintings" using some EAD Designs vinyl.

This was my first attempt trying something like this....what I did was first cut some vinyl on my Cricut using the KISS settings, then applied the vinyl to the canvas (making sure to remove the negative pieces) and then painted the deers. let them dry and slowly peel off vinyl.

 Something went wrong inbetween painting the deers and peeling off the vinyl...if you look close you can see the paint kinda bleed through....so after peeling off all  the vinyl I had to go back and touch up all the funky spots (being very careful!)...in the end..I think they came out cute and super afforadable! 

Hope you like 'em! :)

Supplies:

Rub on vinyl and slowly peel off transfer tape.

Ta-da!

I hope you like them! I love when Christmas crafts are this easy peasy! :)

Christmas Wreath

Hi there! Today I'm the host over on the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog, I'm sharing a fun wreath I FINALLY made..I've been hoarding this stryofoam wreath for the longest time! lol..hope you likey! :)

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

Hello crafty friends! It's Joanna B. here. Today I'm sharing a fun DIY Christmas wreath..lately I've been on Pinterest a LOT..if you don't know what Pinterest is, it's basically a place to pin and catergorize anything you want and each pin takes you straight to that subject. So I've been pinning wreaths I can make for Christmas and have been getting so many awesome ideas I finally had to go get some supplies and make one for my home.

I wanted to have a banner going across it, I used my Cricut to cut the banner letters and hot glued them to some  white ric-rac ribbon and added some red grosgrain ribbon for bows.

I wrapped the entire wreath with grey yarn and made some fun yarn pom-poms.

The nice thing about making these is that they are totally customizable and fun to make! You can make them any color you want!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great Thanksgiving Day tomorrow! :)
