Birthday Week - Day 3

The Vintage Holiday Farm Printable Collection brings the timeless charm of a cozy farm holiday right into your crafting projects. These designs are inspired by rustic barns, nostalgic holiday colors, and farmhouse animals; this collection is perfect for adding a touch of warmth and nostalgia to your holiday décor. 

On Day 3 of our Crafty DIYer Birthday Party event, we explored how to use this beautiful collection to make a personalized Forever Frame insert and an adorable gift tag. These projects are fantastic for home décor and add a unique, handcrafted feel to any gift, showing the love and care behind each creation.

The Forever Frame insert is a beautiful way to keep seasonal art on display year after year. We used the collection’s vintage barn scene, featuring weathered wood and a cute shabby bow, which looks perfectly nestled into a frame for a cozy, farmhouse-inspired holiday display. 

The gift tag, adorned with a Rooster and phrase from the Christmas Words collection, adds a special charm to any package, making it feel like a treasure. These simple projects are great for new and experienced crafters alike and highlight the versatility of the Vintage Holiday Farm Printable Collection. With just a few supplies and this timeless design, you can create memorable holiday pieces that capture the joy and warmth of the season.

1. Once you've completed your frame, you'll want to find the perfect place to display it in your home. There are countless ways to showcase a beautiful piece of artwork like this, but here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Hang it on a gallery wall: If you have a collection of artwork that you'd like to display together, consider creating a gallery wall. This is a great way to showcase multiple pieces of art in one cohesive display. To hang your wooden canvas frame on a gallery wall, use a picture hanging kit or some small nails or screws to secure it to the wall.

• Prop it up on a mantle: If you have a fireplace mantle or a shelf that could use a little visual interest, try propping your wooden canvas frame up on it. This works particularly well if you've added some height to your frame with the decoupaged paper or other embellishments.

• Use it as a centerpiece: If you have a large table or an empty space that needs some visual interest, consider using your wooden canvas frame as a centerpiece. You could place it on a tray with some candles and other decorative elements, or use it as a backdrop for a vase of flowers.

Mixed media is a type of crafting that involves combining different materials and techniques to create a unique piece of art. It's a popular form of crafting because it allows you to experiment with different textures, colors, and mediums, creating something that's truly one-of-a-kind.

For the more craft-focused individuals, mixed media can be a great way to add a personalized touch to home decor, gift-giving, and even upcycling old items. With the ability to use a variety of materials, such as fabric, paper, paint, and more, mixed media can add depth and dimension to any project.

One fun and simple mixed media project is creating a personalized journal or scrapbook. You can use a variety of materials to decorate the pages, such as paint, stencils, stickers, washi tape, and more. By combining different textures and techniques, you can create a visually interesting and unique book that's perfect for jotting down thoughts, memories, or even as a gift.

Another craft-focused mixed media project is creating custom home decor. With the ability to use different materials and techniques, you can create a variety of decor items, such as wall art, photo frames, and even planters. By combining materials such as wood, paint, and fabric, you can create a piece that's both functional and stylish.

For those who enjoy upcycling old items, mixed media can be a great way to give new life to old items. For example, you can take an old chair and use a combination of paint and fabric to create a completely new look. This not only saves money but also helps reduce waste by repurposing items that would otherwise be thrown away.

In conclusion, mixed media is a versatile form of crafting that offers a range of possibilities for those who enjoy crafting. Whether you're creating personalized journals, custom home decor, or upcycling old items, mixed media allows you to combine different materials and techniques to create something that's truly unique and one-of-a-kind.
