How Do You Stack Art?

All this week, the Stampendous Design Team and several guest designers have been showing off a lot of fun things you can create with the new Stampendous Stack Art Kits.  Truly, you are only limited by your imagination with these fun kits!  I've created two different projects with similar themes but two very different looks!  We'll get to my projects momentarily, first, here's an explanation of our Stack Art Kits to help you better understand what they consist of.

Our Stack Art Kits have three components:

• The Stack Art Kraftboard Kit which includes all the kraftboard pieces you’ll need to make at least 4 amazing creations; die cut, double-sided adhesive for all the kraftboard pieces; and sentiments you can use to make each piece a special gift or card embellishment.
• The Stack Art Stamp Sets which include an assortment of terrific background stamps and other images plus an acrylic handle.
• The Stack Art Elements Kits which each include five jars of embellishing goodness to stick to your adhesive covered kraftboard pieces.

Since so many others have shown you projects using the larger kraftboard pieces, I decided to show you a couple of different ways to use the smaller accent pieces and the adhesive pieces.  Here's my first project:

Here's what I used to create this project:

Stampendous® Stack Art Kraftboard Angel Wings

Stampendous® Stack Art Angel Wings Stamp Set

Stampendous® Red Micro Glitter

DecoArt® Americana® Winter Blue Acrylic Paint

DecoArt® Americana® Baby Blue Acrylic Paint

DecoArt® Americana® Snow White

DecoArt® Traditions® Carbon Black

StāzOn® Cloudy Sky Ink Pad

Faber-Castell® Pitt Pen in Warm Grey III

Faber-Castell® Pitt Pen in Black Medium Point

Beacon® Gem-Tac

Artist's Loft™ Canvas Panel

Here's what I did to create this project:

Mix both blue paints and cover canvas

Paint on some clouds and allow to dry

Once clouds have dry, mix a tiny amount of black to some white paint and add some subtle shading in the clouds

Paint the wings with the white paint and set aside to dry

Cover the fronts of two hearts with glue and add the red glitter, set aside to dry

Using gray ink, cover wing stamp with ink, stamp off once and then stamp onto painted wings

Write sentiment on canvas panel

Glue wings and hearts onto canvas panel 

For my second project, I wanted to make a little something different that I could set on my desk or on a shelf around the house.  I have a thing for hearts, I love them!  Hearts with wings remind me of my dad, I bought him a pillow that was a heart with wings attached right after he had quadruple by-pass surgery on his heart.  This project is dedicated to my dad whom I miss dearly!

Here's what I used to create this project:

Stampendous® Stack Art Kraftboard Angel Wings

Stampendous® Stack Art Royal Heart Stamp Set

Stampendous® Chunky White Embossing Enamel

Bo Bunny® Love Letters Collection 6x6 Paper Pad

Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White Cover Stock

DecoArt® Americana® Coral Blush Acrylic Paint

Tim Holtz® Distress Inks® in Antique Linen and Tea Dye

StāzOn® Cloudy Sky Ink Pad

Beacon® Gem-Tac®

Frames & Moore™ Medford 3.5 in x 5 in Frame

Here's what I did to create this project:

Stamp background image onto white cs and trim to desired size

Add distress inks to stamped image

Apply wings die-cut, double-sided adhesive  to image as shown

Add embossing enamel over wings and heat

Paint heart with coral paint, set aside to dry, apply additional coats of paint as needed

Trim patterned paper to fit frame

Adhere stamped image to center of patterned paper

Adhere heart to wings

Assemble into frame

That's it for me today!  I do hope you've enjoyed my projects and have found a little inspiration along the way!  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon.  Have a blessed day!

Hugs,
