It's Christmas in July!
Actually, I saw these burlap 4" x 8" covered frames at Michaels and had to try out some iron-on vinyl with them.
The Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut Cartridge was used for the "Noel" and it was cut at 3-1/2".
Now, I cut this out of Cricut Iron-On Vinyl and then applied it directly to the burlap frame.
It proved to be a bit challenging as the burlap didn't want to let the iron-on vinyl stick properly. But I persevered and got it done.
I dressed up one side with a Christmasy ribbon and then I was done! Quick and Easy!

Here is the product I used:

Love the burlap display. I've never used burlap yet, but am tempted. I love the items you make and your creativity. You inspire me.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your family. Thank you for your generosity in these giveaways!
ReplyDeletePrayers for your sister-in-law Jolene.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried it yet but have quite a few layouts picked out to try it with.
ReplyDeleteI love this, it's so simplistic, yet at the same time beautiful & elegant. Prayers for your SIL, and thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI did put small strips of burlap on my Christmas cards last year - loved it - will probably do it again.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and hope your sister's surgery goes well. Love your burlap project. I have not really worked with burlap before but love the look.
ReplyDeleteI have not ever used burlap. Have a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteI definitely immediately said a Prayer for Jolene and she will be in my thoughts and prayers on going please send updates. Happy Happy Birthday hope you have a great day and may it be filled with JOYous news!!
ReplyDeleteRe: Burlap I have used burlap for die cutting with Tim Holtz dies for embellishments. Your burlap sign turned out great and so glad that your perseverance paid off....like they say "never give up" (LOL) Have a super great day!!
I have yet to use burlap in my crafting projects. I'm seeing so much of it around the web, though, so I may have to give it a try. I really do like your Christmas sign. Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI have used burlap on some cards before. It makes a great look for a masculine card.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your sister-in-law. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Make it a great one. No, I have not used burlap. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried burlap, but will now! I love the Noel frame
ReplyDeleteLove your project today! I have not tried burlap. Hope you have a Happy Birthday and I'm sending prayers for Jolene and your whole family.
ReplyDeleteLeslie
First of all Happy Birthday and I will be praying for Jolene. Second I have never tried burlap but it is on my things to do list.
ReplyDeleteHi Joy I want to wish u a very Happy Birthday !!! an I am praying for your sister- in- law..... I read the anonymous winner an she sounds like she is less than an hour away from my son who lives in Buffalo...
ReplyDeleteYour prayer request has been added to my prayer list, for sure. To answer your question, years ago I covered bulletin boards with burlap for my sons, and also covered a small picture album with it. All have held up well, but I have not used it since. I'm sure it would have a place on certain cards, but I have to say I just can't see using it at weddings, trend or not. :) This is a wonderful cartridge and I would just love to win it. Best Christmas cart I've seen. Elaine in Glenview
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried burlap, but I have seen so many fantastic projects made with it, including yours.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! I used colored burlap on some name tags I made. They turned out really cute. Would love to win this cartridge...thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your sister.
ReplyDeleteJoy, have a very wonderful and happy birthday. This project turned out really nice.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Joy!!! I have never used Burlap. I love the Christmas Cartridge that you are giving away. I love Christmas in general (I think I have around 20 plastic totes full of Christmas decorations. Amazingly, I do not have any Cricut Cartridges that are exclusively Christmas. Of course, I got my first Cricut after Christmas using money I received as gifts.
ReplyDeletePraying everything will go well with your sister-in-law's surgery.
ReplyDeleteYour project is very nice! I haven't tried a burlap project yet, but I have one in mind that I'd like to make. I just need to get to the fabric store to purchase the burlap! I was planning to use iron-on vinyl, but since you mentioned the difficulty in getting the vinyl to stick, maybe I'll try paint instead. So thank you for the helpful info!
Happy birthday!
Burlap scares me! I think it's cool, but I haven't tried it yet.
ReplyDeleteWonderful burlap creation. Used burlap for texture on a card & scrapbook layout but not used like you have. Will say a prayer for your sister-in-law.
