Spritz the leaf green and allow to dry, adhere with fabric fusion. 5. Cut three flowers each  and adhere to the bottom of the bookmark. 6. Add the wood veneer pieces and the straight pins. 7. Punch a hole in the top of the bookmarks and add ribbon to the tops. Be sure to check out the Linnie Blooms Store to get your goodies Tell them Madge sent you!!

Birthday Banner

Hello Linnie Bloom Lovers! Jessica LiBasci here from Scatter Joy With Jessann!  Today I want to share a gift I created for a special friend, a Birthday Banner.

I used the Linnie Blooms Canvas Pennants and created a message to remind my friend how much she is LOVED.  

Supplies that I used that can be purchased at www.linnieblooms.com

Canvas Pennants, Gelatos, Color Shine Spritz and the Bloom Stencils.

Here is what I did...

I colored the Linnie Blooms Canvas Pennants with Gold Champaigne Gelato and Mango Gelato. 

Once the pennants were colored I used a wet brush to spread the colors over the canvas. 

Then the pennants had to dry. 

I used clear acrylic stamps and archival ink to stamp on letters to each pennant.

Next I used Heidi Swapp Color Shine Spritz to spray over each pennant. The bronzer is my favorite because it leaves such a beautiful metallic finish. 

My cropadile allowed me to make a perfect hole in each pennant so I could attach them creating the banner.

Later I added liquid pearls as accents to each pennant.

I tied my banner up using wooden skewers. I placed my skewers along with the paper flowers I made into altered jars. I decorated the jars using craft paper and pattern paper using the Linnie Blooms Bloom Stencil. 

I hope you enjoyed my Birthday Banner! For instructions on how I made my flowers visit my blog, www.jessicalibasci.wordpress.com.

Have a blessed week!

Smile Jesus loves you! 

This is a Happy Life!

This is my shiny, happy and bright summer piece!! I used bright Dylusions Sprays and my favorite Linnie shapes!! I glued them onto a little old tray that was in my re-purpose collection (my junk cabinet as my family calls it!) and created this little cute flower arrangement!

I love how when I spray through the stencils onto the canvas pieces, the shapes of the stencil stays perfectly!! LOVE!! 

The only problem that I had was after using the Mr.Huey's shine spray, the piece didn't really want to photograph without reflecting light.   But when I see it hanging on the wall, the shine really gives it personality!! 

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!!  Make sure you take some time to create!!

Vintage 4th of July Tag~July Challenge:Patriotism

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and 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. 

Thanks for stopping by the Linnie Blooms Blog today.

Happy Crafting & Happy 4th of July : )

Greetings from Linda Barutha

Although I love to spend my time thinking up new ways to incorporate the "mixed stitch" concept and bring it to you through Linnie Blooms, sometimes a girl just has to play.  And play I did!  So today I'd like to show you a set of greeting cards that will be offered at LinnieBlooms.com soon!  Each of these girls were sketches of mine.  I hope you enjoy them!

Supplies are limited, so if you want them, you can pre-order them today at LinnieBlooms.com

Patriotism Linne Bloom Style.....

Hello! Happy July!!! This month over here at Linnie Blooms you will see that our designers will be showcasing some fabulous projects that represent Patriotism. I am proud to be an American, and I am super excited that I can share with you a fun canvas made into a flag.  Flying the colors of the red, white and blue!
I used a 5x11 canvas, canvas starts, some Heidi Swapp Color Shine and a cute Hanger all from the Linnie Blooms store {HERE}.

I hope that you like my canvas today! Here is how it was made....
I took the canvas and cut a square where I would put my stars.  I then took another piece and covered up the parts I didn't want to spray.  I first sprayed the red, then the blue and then the red again.  I then took white paint and painted dots on the canvas.  I then spritzed the canvas with gold Heidi Swapp spritz spray.  Next I took some yellow spritz and sprayed the stars.  I then put the bling on the stars once that the canvas was dry.  I then took a black marker by Faber-Castel and outlined the canvas to make it pop.

I hope that you enjoyed my project for today!!!
Loves-Madge

Red White and Blooming

Hello Linnie Blooms Friends!

Donna K here to share with you my "Red White and Blooming" 

project in honor of Independence Day.

I love using the long blank canvases to create small home decor items.

I cut the 5"X11" piece in half to created the base for this piece.

Sprayed it with some 

Sweet Cherry Heidi Swapp Color Shine Spritz 

and that is the base for my project. 

You'll also find that wonderful chevron burlap piece in the

Linnie Blooms Shop.

I have incorporated a sweet stamped sentiment, some bling, buttons and stickers.

The adorable Melissa Frances hanger I use to display my piece is found HERE.

Thanks for peeking in today...be sure to share your project on the

Linnie Blooms Facebook page for your chance at being the pick of the week!

'til next time.
