Hello Friends! Katy here with another project. In today’s video use my VersaFine Clairs with isopropyl alcohol to create a watercolor look. With this technique I created a wintry wedding card, but this will lend well to a birthday or holiday card as well.

Hello crafty friends! I’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a tutorial on how to make this acorn gift box.
Skill: Intermediate to Advanced Time: 45 Minutes
Directions:
Gather your supplies. For this project you will need the Fall Favors Box die set and the coordinating stamp set. A dark brown ink (VersaFine Clair used here), Kraft and other colors of cardstock.
Step 1: Out of kraft cardstock, cut six pieces each of the small (top) and large (bottom) of the acorn, along with the top and bottom hexagon pieces. Cut the stem out of a dark brown cardstock and the leaves out of your color of choice.
Step 2: Line up the stamp that adds the detail to the acorn top and then stamp all six pieces with a dark brown ink, VersaFine Clair Pinecone used here.
Step 3: Crease all of the score line on all the die cut pieces. Do not use a bone folder, just simply crease them on the score lines.
Step 4: Align the large (bottom) pieces of the acorn on the hexagon as shown. Tip: I used liquid glue to allow me to move them as needed.
Step 5: Align the small (top) pieces of the acorn on the hexagon with the square hole in it.
Step 6: Fold the stem piece on the score lines and add h=glue to create the stem and then thread it through the square hole on the top. After threading it through the hole, fold back the tabs and glue down as shown.
Finish the project by adding the leaves and some twine.
Hello crafty friends! Today’s projects are about how you can personalize any muslin bags or canvas bags by adding patterns, words, or anything you can think of with Fabrico Markers, Memento Luxe ink pads, and stencils. It will be fun projects to make for any occasion gift ideas or even for yourself to use. So, let’s make some together!
Skill: Easy Time: 15-20 minutes
Direction:
Step 1 If your muslin or canvas bag has some wrinkles or folded lines on it, you can iron it before stenciling on it. I ironed my mini muslin bags that I used on these projects today. Cut out a piece of a thick cardboard or cardstock as an insert mat to put inside the bag to prevent the ink from bleeding through the other side of the bag. Tape the stencil on the bag with masking tape or washi tape. Use Fabrico Markers to color through the leafy stencil. To do the ink blending, start with dark color first, then medium color, then lighter color after to blend the color together. The ink from the bag will transfer to the marker, but do not worry because you can clean the other ink color from the marker tip by scribbling it off on a piece of paper.
Remove the stencil from the bag.
Step 2 Repeat the same step to add more pattern or word to the bag. On this one, I decided to add the word Be Still on the bag using stencil and Fabrico Marker. Remove the stencil and set aside for the ink to dry, or iron the bag to dry the inks permanently and quickly. I love how versatile these Fabrico Markers are when it comes to coloring solid images. The colors blend well together. The second technique to personalize a muslin bag you can try is by adding ink directly to the bag with ink pads, sponge daubers, and stencil.
Step 3 Add the insert mat inside the mini muslin bag. Tape the stencil on the mini muslin bag with masking tape or washi tape. Using a sponge dauber, pick up the ink from the Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa ink pad by tapping on the ink pad a couple times. Dab the ink on the sponge dauber on the stencil firmly through the stencil to make sure the ink transfers to the bag. Repeat the steps until the bag is covered with the pattern.
Step 4 Remove the stencil from the bag. Iron the bag to dry the ink permanently on the bag.
I love how they look after removing the stencils off the bags. I personally like both techniques, how about you? Which technique do you prefer better to do to personalize your own bags?
Hopefully you also will have fun personalizing your own bags by trying one of both techniques. Thank you for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!
