Project of the Day & Giveaway: Wood Veneer Embellishment

March 7, 2012 by FaveCrafts 93 Comments

National Craft Month is still going strong and today we’re bring you one of our favorite projects from Hambly. This Wood Veneer Embellishment is great for your scrapbook layout. You can choose your favorite colors and make them nice and bright for spring. Add rub-ons and dress up your pieces. Leah Farquharson for Hambly Screen Prints brings us today’s crafty embellishment tutorial.

 

Wood Veneer Embellishment

Wood veneer has to be one of the hottest items for this year’s scrapbooking supplies! Today I wanted to share some fun I had by adding rubons to some wooden embellishments that I had in my scrapbook stash! I decided that I wanted to dress up my banner pieces a bit to add to the bold, spring look of my card. I had fun choosing colors that reminded me of the first signs of spring when I was a kid.


Supplies you’ll need
:

  • Hambly papers
  • Transparencies and rubons of your choice for your project.
    These are the ones I used
    :
    – Garden Party Transparency in Tea
    – Diagonal Alley Paper
    – Kraft Label Sticker
    – Flowers and Feathers rubons in pink
    – Flowers and Feathers rubons in Yellow
    – Clear Butterfly and Floral Stickers
  • Ink of your choice, I chose black
  • Paper towel
  • Plain wooden scrapbook embellishments, I used the banner pieces from Studio Calico

Start by choosing a rubon to add to your wood piece, and applying it. There was a bit of excess hanging over the edge when I finished, so I just gently rubbed my finger along the edge to brush it off and bend it over the edge. I chose not to ink both of the styles of rubon that I chose. I wanted the yellow to stand on its own.

 

Place your wooden piece on a paper towel or other surface that’s safe for the ink, and spritz it until it’s covered well. Let it sit for just a minute or two, so the ink can soak in a bit. Wood is an organic substance, so each piece will color a bit differently.

 

Dab the excess ink off of the wooden piece, and attach to your project!

    I’m retired so I can craft all day, everyday .. I know I’m lucky! I work on something most days while watching my favorite TV programs. I enjoy crochet, knitting, quilting and all types of paper crafting. Many evening I work on cards or ATCs. I saw wood embellishments on tv & they looked so cool. I’d love to win today’s giveaway.

    Crafting is so relaxing that I like to craft in the late afternoon into the evening when possible. The only problem is that once I get going I lose track of time and don’t want to stop and end up going to bed later than I had planned on!
