SSS Hey Bestie Handmade Wall Decor/Wall Art
Hello Crafters! Are you ready to create an easy Handmade Wall Decor/Wall Art with me? If so, I can ensure that, you’re going to love the 9x12 Bursting Hearts Stencil from the new; Hey Bestie Release by Simon Says Stamp so, without further ado, let’s jump into the blog below ↓
As the new 9x12 Bursting Hearts Stencil it’s a pretty large stencil… the first thing that I did was to, trim a 9x12 white sheet out of a 11x14 Strathmore Bristol Smooth Pad because, I wanted a smooth surface to be able to ink blend the hearts from the stencil. Once, the sheet was trimmed, I lined up the stencil over it and, I temporarily adhered them both to avoid them to shift during the ink blending. Right after that, I selected a combination of Pinks, Peach and Coral hues for the ink blending. As, for the ink blending itself, I started from the bottom with the darkest to the top finishing the ink blending with the lightest color from the selection for a gradient look as shown above.
Once the ink blending part was done, I set it aside to dry. In the meantime, I ran through the die-cutting machine the letters I, L, O, V, E, Y and U from the Altenew Classic Alphabet Dies Set to die-cut them 1X out of white heavy weight white cardstock. 1X out of Gold cardstock and 1X out of fun foam. Right after when all die-cuttings were done, I stacked each of the layers from each of the coordinated die-cuttings creating that way dimensional letters.
Before, I adhered the letters to the ink blending, I trimmed off the edges from it at the mark of W 8 1/2’’x H 11’’. Then, I placed the ink blending on my Laser Square Tool for a precise measuring. As, for the measurements, I left 3’’in space from the top and, 3’’in space from the bottom. Then, 3/4’’in space from side to side. That being said, I adhered the backing of the first 4 letters creating that way the LOVE word then, the last 3 letters underneath creating that way the YOU word by the way, I left 1’’in space in between the LOVE and the YOU also, I left 1 1/4’’in space from side to side for the YOU word in case you wonder. I’d like to mention that, with the amount of space, I could have been able to add the I letter too for a full I LOVE YOU sentiment but, I decided to skip and leave it as LOVE YOU because, I wanted the inked hearts to stand out.
Finally, right after when I was done adhering the letters, I started the assembling to complete the frame. As, for the frame itself, I used an 11x14 White Picture Frame which by the way, I removed the glass just for the photography purposes but, I’d like to mention that, even when the letters are dimensional, I didn’t have a problem inserting the design in the frame. So, I hope that this super easy Wall Decor/Art design using the new; 9x12 Bursting Hearts Stencil inspires you to give it a try as its simple and quick. Not only that but, it’s also ideal as, a Valentine’s Handmade Gift! With that being said, I appreciate the time that took you to read this blog post.
