I am so excited to share with my first busted canvas project. For this project I used the November Scrapbook Kit from Tres Jolie. In this kit we used the 3 Quarter Designs Xmas Magic. I have a video tutorial and links down below, plus step by step tutorial. You can always watch the video for more details.
November Scrapbook Kit
To get started you will need two 10 x 10 canvases. Measure the inside so you can adhere your pattern paper down to the inside. This measured 6 7/8 x 6 7/8 inches. Then place your glue to the inside of the canvas open area and adhere your paper down.
You will do the same thing for the second canvas as well. With your canvases paint the inside of frame area of both of them, as shown below.
Next pick one of the canvases for your top, and paint the top and sides. Set aside to dry.
Once its dry, get your xacto knife and cut one line horizontal and one line vertical in the middle of the canvas.
Then get you scissors and cut in the middle of each flap and you should 8 flaps, as shown below.
For the next part I decided to used glue dots to hold down my flaps as the hot glue wouldn't hold and the flaps kept popping up. The glue dots worked really well. You want to roll the flaps over and place the glue dots (use two glue dots) at the tip of the flap.
Decorate the inside of your canvas. I fussy cut out the train and the solder and placed them inside. Next I did cut the edges off of the canvas you can see here I just away 1/4 inch from the wood and painted. I didn't want any of the white canvas edge showing. I also painted the edges.
Once I was done with decorating the inside I used double back tape 2 inch tape, and adhered it around the border of the canvas, as the hot glue was not working properly.
Adhered on the busted canvas on top and then used a pretty gold ribbon from my stash that is adhered around the seams of the canvases.
I placed a few of the ephemera pieces in the top corners and added in some of the pieces inside. The inside pieces are adhered down to wooden part of the canvas that is like a platform.
I hope you found this Christmas 3D Nutcracker Busted Canvas tutorial inspirational and you get to create one as well. I really enjoyed creating this for Christmas. I will definitely be creating more of these. You can also give these as gifts.

I hope you all are having a great day. The holiday season is upon us and I can't believe how fast Christmas will soon be here, really just like 5 weeks away. Today's project is a Christmas Album, however I created it for my daughter to my grandson's Christmas pictures inside as it is his first Christmas. This album is really simple and easy not a lot of flips and flaps but definitely will hold lots of photos. For this album I used the Chipboard Banner Album from Clear Scraps. I have a step by step below and I have a video tutorial with more details.
Chipboard Banner Album Minis Shaker Onsie
To begin I covered the first chipboard front punch holes after you cover the front side and then cover the back side. Adhere the back pattern paper on. You can cover all the front and back pieces if you'd like but I did do some flaps and I added a couple of waterfalls inside. You can get more details by viewing the video tutorial.
Here is the reverse side of the cover piece. I will be adding a waterfall here so you will
cut 4 1/2 x 6 pieces and Score 1/2 inch on the 4 1/2 inch side. I have photo down below.
For page 3 I will be creating pockets. For the pockets I chose a paper that has borders or chose a paper with horizontal lines. On the back place 1/8th inch adhesive.
Next measure 1/4 inch space from the right and left edge. (I show more detail in video tutorial).
Once your lines are cut for your pockets place some adhesive above the top pocket and place adhesive above the second line/slit you cut.
Remove the tape backing and adhere to the chipboard page. Add in your photo mats.
Next cover the little banner. I place a 2 inch piece of pattern paper and just cut the excess paper aways from the chipboard edges.
Here is where I did the second the waterfall. Use these instructions for the waterfall both waterfalls that are in this chipboard album.
Cut 8 pieces of cardstock at 4 1/2 x 6, Score 1/2 inch with the 4 1/2 laying across the top of the scoreboard. Next add double back tape to the 1/2 inch flap, as shown below.
I added glue as well as tape to the 1/2 inch flap.
Make sure you have your page covered with pattern paper.
Next on the fold place the 1/2 inch flap down on top of your page.
Once you adhere on the first waterfall piece next do the same thing for the piece of cardstock. Be sure to line the 1/2 inch flap fold is placed right under that 1/2 inch piece that was previously adhered down.
Next I added magnets to the back and to one of the cut-apart cards on the back as this will be our closure for the waterfall.
Here is the waterfall finished with the cut-apart card the closure.
This page is behind the cover of the album. For this waterfall it will be done the same exact way but have the flaps laydown vertical, and add in the magnets for the closure.
This is the Mini Shaker Onsie. You will adhere two of the onsies together and then adhere the acrylic piece on top once your take off the film from both sides.
With plain chipboard trace it on a pattern paper, cut it out and adhere down.
Next add in your shaker bits and adhere the onsies frames down on top of the papered onsie, and the painted top frame.
Down below I'm adding photos of the completed album and the finished pages inside.
On top of the album cover I added the Mini Shaker Onsie. I decorated the front with some images I fussy cut and my grandson's name.
Here is the first pages (2 and 3) inside the waterfall behind the cover is covered with pattern paper.
The 3rd page is the pocket page we created, mats are 4x4 1/2 inches.
The 4th page has flaps on the right and left side, the middle section inside I have a 4x6 inch mat. For this page I took my xacto knife and cut around the images below the page, you can slip in the photo mat behind the image.
Here is the 4th page with the flaps closed.
Page 5 - This a side pocket I created and placed a Christmas Tree popped up with foam tape.
I placed 2 5x7 inch mats and 2 4x6 inch mats.
Page 6 on the left is another image I cut around with an xacto knife. I did fussy cut out the Santa and adhered him down by the sleigh. I placed a photo mat behind the sleigh.
Page 7 is the second waterfall I covered with pattern paper and has the cut-apart card with the magnets.
I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and found some inspiration from today's project. I have the links to this Chipboard Banner Album throughout the step by step tutorial. I hope you have a chance to head over to the shop to grab one to create and hold all your Holiday memories this year.
I hope you are doing well. I am so excited to share with you the November Scrapbook Kit. In this Scrapbook Kit we get a Curio Clock by Tim Holtz Idea-ology. I also used the beautiful chipboard angel and poinsettia flowers. So get out you things and let's craft together. As always I have a video tutorial for you here that shares more details and a step by step tutorial below. Links are shared throughout the post. I hope you get some inspiration from today's project.
To get started I used one of the chipboard angels outlining it with glue and then sprinkled white fine glitter on top. Set aside to dry.
Next I took one of the white poinsettias from the kit and painted it with the Flat Magical Wild Rose Rouge that is from a past Mixed Media Kit.
Next trace the back lid of the Curio Clock, cut out the circle and place inside the the lid.
Next I used glue dots to adhere down the little metal ring that sets in the curio clock and to adhere down my twinkle lights.
I added some poly-fil to bottom of the clock but I later cut a piece of chipboard 1 x 3 3/4 inches to place across inside the clock. This helps hold your items up better.
I added some snow inside.
I added 4 pieces of chipboard to the back of the Christmas Tree ephemera, so it would add a little dimension to the inside.
Next I added in the angel and decorated the rest of the out side of the Curio Clock.
Here are some close up photos for you down below.
I hope you found this Christmas Angel tutorial inspirational and you get to create one as well. I really enjoyed creating this for Christmas. I thought these would make great Christmas gifts as well.
