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!

Whenever the mood strikes – whatever time of day that happens to be at the time.
Any time where I’m not interrupted…prefer late at night after everyone’s in bed. 🙂
I love to do crafts right after lunch. My housework is done and I am ready to be creative.
I love to craft in the evening after everything is done and I can relaxe
Usually in the evening when the house has calmed down. But on weekends my girls and I like to craft all day!
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.
I usually craft in the evenings because of work. But then, it could be all weekend long too! Have fun everyone!
Now. Like, Now. Bye, gotta go craft.
I like to craft all day but I usually dont get to until after 8pm.
I would love to craft in the mornings, but usually it isn’t until my daughter goes to bed at night that I get to get my craft on!
I like to craft in the afternoon or evening. I am not a morning person. I also can’t craft until I get my housework done.
I used to be the late night scrapper but now I’m a mid day while everyone is at work
I like to craft whenever I can. I mostly do it at night.
I try to scrap whenever I can, but usually it’s in the afternoon after my hubby gets home from work!! Or Saturdays!
Whenever I get the chance! At least two days a week I make cards for SOMETHING special!
Evening is good.
on my day off from work. right after breakfast,take my tea and off I go to my craft room.
Anytime of day is fine for crafting–whenever I can fit it in.
On my day off from work.
Everyday in march is Christmas. I love you for this giveaway and have a blessed day
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!
I usually craft in the evening. It’s relaxing after a long day.
At night when the lil ones are in bed so I can have me time.
Thats easy “All Day”
Any time of day! though it’s usually at night. Thanks for a chance to win some Hambly.
All day long!
Sun up to bed time. I am retired now and I’m fortunate to have all the time I want to craft.
any time of day is the perfect time for crafting but I do find that I am most creative right after breakfast (maybe it’s the coffee?!)
For me itis when I go to the Dialysis unit, I get four hours of uninterupted blissful crafting time. Sometimes my nurses even help me out!
In the afternoon, after I’ve finished all of the things that I have to do.
My favorite time to craft is at night because I’m a night owl anyway and enjoy the quiet of the late evening…LOL!
Any opportunity during the day or night.
I like to do my crafting in the evening, and on the weekend
Any time of day.
LOVE THE IDEA… may have to try using veneer!!!
I like to craft in the morning while the kids are at school, or at night after they go to bed!
I tend to do my best work in the middle of the night – usually right up to the deadline for a project. Then I get angry at the poor lighting conditions!
I tend to work best in the evening after dinner. Just me and my tv with my crafty goodness spread out:)
I want to get into sewing! :0)
anytime i can. maybe i should try 4am …no interuptions
After the kids go to bed.
Any spare moment…I even keep something in the car to work on in case of a traffic jam!
Anytime that I can
