Hero Arts card + brooch tutorial

Let's kick off December with a tutorial and a couple of giveaways!

And since it's the 2nd of December - we have a TWO giveaways planned! One here on my blog and on the Hero Arts blog so make sure to visit both to enter to win. You can find our more about the contest at the end of this post!

Here's a little card + brooch that I whipped up! See the flower on the card? It's also a brooch!

The card has a cute little brooch on it that can also be detached and the recipient can wear it after they receive the card! A card + gift in one! What could be better?!

Here are the supplies you'll need: Hero Arts Flower Blossom Border set (CL223), Hero Arts Smooth Gemstones (CH153), Hero Arts Holiday Mixed Notecards (PS539), Claudine Hellmuth Studio Sticky Back Canvas, Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints in: Painterly Pink, Landscape Green and Modern Red, Claudine Hellmuth Studio paint brush set, Ranger Inkessentials Non-stick Craft sheet, Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium, a pin back, Ranger Archival Ink in black, Perfect Pearls, Perfect Medium Pen, and the Cuttle bug!

OK! Let's get started!

First, paint a sheet of Sticky Back Canvas using Painterly Pink, Landscape Green and Modern Red. Set aside to dry. Or speed drying using a heat tool.

Stamp image from Hero Arts Flower Blossom Border set (CL223) using Ranger Archival Ink in Black on each color stripe you made on the Sticky Back Canvas.

Flip your sheet of Sticky Back Canvas over, remove the paper backing revealing the sticky backing. Cut a piece of decorative fabric and place it onto the sticky side of the Sticky Back. Smooth to make sure there is good contact!

Now that the fabric is on the back, go ahead and cut out the flowers from Sticky Back Canvas

Glue all the layers together using Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium in Matte. here I also glued on a small circle of the dotted fabric in the center.

You can curl the ends of your flower to give it dimension, just roll it over a paint brush handle and it will hold the shape!

Glue on the pin back to the back of your flower using Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium in Matte. make a big blob, squish the pin back into the medium, then smooth it out using your paint brush.

Here's a closeup of the pin back glued on with the Multi Medium. Once this dries it will dry clear and it will be on there forever! Make sure to let it dry all the way. it will only have a secure hold once fully dry.

Stamp an image from the Hero Arts sheet a couple of times onto a green card from the Hero Arts Holiday Mixed Notecards (PS539) Add stems using a black pen. Then set aside, we'll come back to this card later!

Paint another section of Sticky Back Canvas using Modern Red. Allow to dry.

Once dry, run the Sticky Back Canvas through a Cuttlebug using one of the embossing folders

Outline some of the embossed areas using the Ranger Perfect Pen in clear

Dust lightly with Perfect Pearls to add a metallic shine! Ohh pretty!!

Trim and stick to the card you stamped earlier

hold your pin up to your card and make marks where the pin will go. Punch these with an 1/8 punch then thread your pin through your card and you are done!

Pair with a red envelope and send to a friend! I hope you enjoyed the tutorial!

COMMENTS:

Very nice card and tutorial, Claudine. A question, it looks like there is some stitching along the curved, embossed border. Is that stitching or is it drawn with a pen?

As usual your tutorials are very easy to follow and understand.

Hope the migraines are under control these days.

Claudine,
What a cute little card. I love the idea of the detachable pin. Such a sweet gift with a card idea. The colors you used are so bright and cheery. Your canvas looks like it is very easy to work with and I love the way you've lined the back with coordinating material. (I was wondering how the pin was going to work with the sticky back). I saw you on the Hero Arts blog and stopped by to say I really liked the mini canvas on canvas in the picture of you and Lisa. Too Cool!

Hi Claudine,

I just found out about you yesterday and fell in love with your Poppets. I immediately ordered your collage book and also pre-ordered your scrapbooking book. So excited to get them and get my creativity re-invigorated. I enjoy creating collages and incorporating them into my scrapbooking projects. I think your projects are delightful and I've gleaned so many new ideas just by visiting your website. More power to you!

Great to see your new products in action Claudine. I didn't know you could put the canvas through the cuttlebug- what a great idea! I'd love to see it IRL.

What a great tutorial! You are such a lovely person as well as a talented artist. One of these days I am going to have you do a custom piece for me and my deputy husband and two golden retrievers. Doesn't that sound like fun? Happy holidays!

Very cute card and pin. I love the fabric backing the sticky back canvas. I have my first piece of canvas on its way to me from Somerset Studios. Not sure what I will do with it yet, so keep those ideas coming! Love your paint colors too. Can't wait to give them a try.

I love your new sticky back canvas paper. I am addicted to sticker paper lately. Thanks for your mini lesson.

Yep, I should have known you'd come up with something as cool and as unique as sticky back canvas. You are the Queen of Canvas afterall. I love the idea. I think the canvas flower is probably much more durable than say a paper or fabric one and of course yours is totally adorable. Can't wait to find it in my local craft store and try it out. Thanks for the tutorial.
