Simple bunting using linnie blooms canvas shapes... with Leeann Pearce

Hello Linnie Blooms fans... I hope you all had a wonderful valentines day yesterday. I'm sure there was lots of I LOVE YOU and chocolate and wine and kisses and and and....

This month also happens to be the month that I was married we will be celebrating 12 years!

-ain't that just sweet!

Anyway I decide to create a little off the page project for my home, I've had this pink paislee tray for a while and really wanted to semi embellish it.

My intention was to keep it simple with little color ... because I plan to display amazingly  awesome photos I have captured of my children.

"Simply Bunting using linnie blooms canvas shapes"

Step 1: Gather an assortment of shapes and line them up and machine stitch.

Step 2:  Add a tiny bit of detail to them. A stamped pattern and a couple of wooden buttons hand-stitched on.

That's it, told you it was simple!

Now just add it to your embellish tray, photo frame, scrapbook page or card. 

Totally up to you.

Thanks Leeann Pearce

12x12 Canvas Layout

Hello Crafters!  This is Rochelle Spears and today I would love to share with you a layout I created on a  Linnie Bloom's 12x12 canvas.

Fun with shapes on a Blank.

One of my favorite products to play with is the Linnie Blooms Blanks.  Today I am showing how I did a layout by using one of the long blanks.  Super fun to play with.  This is going to hang in my craft room for now.. then my daughter wants it in her room.

I used a total of 7 of  the mixed media canvas shapes from Linnie Blooms.    I love how when using that many of one product you really don't loose the focus of the photos, everything blends well, and doesn't seem to take over the layout.

I used a long blank, book mark, linnie white textures, 3 banners, 1 house/arrow, and a heart. 



I love using this shape.. one of my favs.

Use this as a house or an arrow

Altered Cigar Box

Hello Crafty Peeps,  As we start to roll into the weekend I have decided to share one of my cigar boxes.  I love to alter them and sell them.  This one I made for my craft room, so I will be keeping this one.  However it did look really cute in the Linnie Blooms shop so I may have to make one for Linda Barutha's store too.

If you have been checking out our blog daily you will see all of the awesome projects the design team have been doing.  I wanted to use 3 of my banners from Linnie Blooms on an altered art piece. I love keeping them used as banners however you will see how creative the team is and they have found clever ways to use them.

 

Here is the cigar box sitting on top of my shelf full of supplies.

2 banners on the right painted w/ pink acrylic paints & I added 2 puffy stickers

Displayed in my studio w/ the banner I made using Linnie Blooms Shapes.

The other banner I used as a Pennant and added a stick and some twine.

Have you decided what Mixed Media shapes are you favorite?  You may need to get a few in your stash then decide.  I change my mind every time I use them.  But so far these are my favorite shapes, until next time.

 

Thanks for reading today's blog,  I hope you have a cigar box you can alter.  Check out Linnie Blooms shop to purchase a few shapes.. you will love the variety.

~Lovin my Linnie Blooms~

I finally had some free time to play with more of my Linnie Blooms Mixed Media Canvas shapes!
My new favorite shapes are the pennants or some call them banners.  I also love the little houses or arrows.  I have seen these used as both, which is awesome since you already get an option before you even get started to play.

Here are just a few of my latest projects.  The long blank I actually made while visiting the Linnie Blooms Shop.  I made it during a class with the owner Linda Barutha.  The book was just a cover I did for fun.. I used a heart and a mini blank on that cover.   The mini canvas piece was fun to make.  I knew I wanted a picture of my youngest daughter and a few of these bits and pieces of things I loved.  I used 4 Linnie Blooms shapes on the canvas wall hanging, 2 on the book, and 7 on the long blank.  You can add the mixed media canvas shapes to scrapbook layouts and cards too.  What would you do with a few of these shapes?
