How To: Upcycled House Ornaments and a Holiday Blog Hop!

Hi all!  I'm so excited because it's the FIRST blog hop with members of the Jessica Sporn Designs Creative Team. 

Today I'm hopping along with 

Karen Gaunt

Sherry Canino
Denise Alloca and

Kristin Van Valkenburgh

to share some holiday creations using my stamps and stencils. 

I hope you've been enjoying the Creative Team posts - I know I have! 

AND.... 

We have a great three giveaways - one lucky commenter will win my Blessings stamp from Rubbermoon, 





another will win this little holiday ornament, 

and another will win this lovely wall hanging by Creative Team member Denise Alloca.  Denise couldn't participate in the hop, but created this beautiful project for her tutorial & post on December 22.  

My little ornaments were inspired by some cardboard I received in a food delivery package, as well as Kristin's brilliant "Tiny Homes" tutorial.  She inspired me to pull out my glitter and use these stamps in a very different way than I had previously envisioned! 

I filmed my process -- hope you enjoy the video.



Now hop on over to Karen Gaunt, Sherry Canino, Denise Alloca and Kristin Van Valkenburgh

to see what they've created!

All comments on all the posts count - so don't forget to leave your kind words!

"Frightfully Fall" Blog Hop Featuring the Creative Team and a Giveaway!

Hi all!  I'm so excited because it's the FIRST blog hop with members of the Jessica Sporn Designs Creative Team. 

Today I'm hopping along with 

Denise Alloca

Marit Barentsen

Sherry Canino

Kristin Van Valkenburgh

and Lizzy Wurmann 

to share some fall creations using my stamps and stencils. 

I hope you've been enjoying the Creative Team posts - I know I have! Here's a chance to see five of these amazing artists all at once!

AND....

We have a great giveaway - one lucky commenter will win my Cascading Leaves stencil and Tree of Life stamp. 

All comments on all the blog hop posts count - so make sure to visit everyone and leave some kind words for a chance to win! 

Without further ado, here's my project!

I have TOO MANY canvas bags from various retreats.  I decided to re-purpose one for my daughter to use on Halloween (instead of a pillowcase!).    I started out by loosely painting DecoArt fabric paint in yellow and orange on the bag, using a foam roller.

I then used red paint and my Lacy Lotus stencil to create a background.

 I used my Shiva stencil to create a strong focal image, and the Borders stencil for a top border.

 On the other side, I used the Horned Owl stencil for my focal image.

I stamped the straps using my Mercurial Mercury and Topsy Topiary stamps from Rubbermoon.  

Check out the whole process in this 3 minute video. 

Or watch DIY Canvas Fall Tote Bag on YouTube here.  

(See more videos and examples of how I used the Shiva stencil  and Horned Owl stencils.)

I hope this gave you some ideas to kickstart your fall crafting. 

Now, hop over to
