It's the 25th of the month and time for the last Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas 2024! I've got a special project for you today!
My brother asked me for help with creating the decorations for his office door at work and he'd picked a Grinch theme... because... well... he's kinda the office Grinch.
I got the idea for this project from that. I brought him lots of foiled gel prints and these alpha dies from Kat Scrappiness and he made bunches of signs for his door and pointing the way to his door.
I wanted him to make a sign that said Stink, Stank, Stunk! but it wasn't in his vision and I decided that I was going to do it.
I was extra inspired when I saw the October stencil release from A Colorful Life Design.
I started these at a crafty day with my crafty friend Mitra. She supplied the approximately 6x6 square canvases. I crinkled up some tissue paper and laid it over the canvas and covered it with white paint using a sponge. Then I added green paint over the top and set it aside to dry.
While it was drying I die cut all of my letters from red foiled gel prints and again from green and glued them together offset.
I stenciled a string of ornaments with gold Glitz Glitter Gel across the top of each canvas. Then I stenciled the Grinch faces with black paste and once that was dry, added a layer of Transfer Gel over the top. When that was dry to tacky, I added Deco Foil in green/gold.
I painted some wooden snowflakes (from Mitra) with white acrylic paint, let it dry ad then painted over them with Transfer Gel Duo and again when dry to tacky, added some gold foil over it. I finished them off with Glitter Dust Spray and popped them and the sentiments onto the canvases. Finally I added washi tape to the edges of each canvas.
That's my project and now for a peek at what my brother came up with for his office door.
Awesome right? It was fun to get crafty with my brother.
Well, it's been a year. Thank you so much for hanging in with us and looking forward to doing it all over again! Thanks for stopping and be sure to head on over to see what Debra has for you today!
And Merry, Happy, Hope your holidays are fabulous and full of love and peace!
