Wood-Burning with Stencil, Stamp and Hand-lettering

Wood-burning art is interesting and beautiful art work. It is like painting on a wood plank or slice but use wood-burning tool instead of paints. It require patient and time to work on one art. I first time tried wood-burning was when I made some projects for Christmas last year.

I made couple wood-slices ornaments for our tree, gifts and also for a friend’s request. And on the weekend, I worked on these bigger wood slices (approximately 8″ and 10″ tall). And if you have little kids, better work after they go to bed or when they are not around. The wood burning tool is VERY HOT!

First wood slice, I used the medium size I got from Target (YES, you read it correctly :D). I taped down the Feathers and Arrows LARGE – ARTplorations Stencil, and began tracing the arrows with pencil.

After removing the stencil, I traced the sketch with the hot wood-burning tool. Then I saw some empty spaces that I thought might need some things there. So I wrote the quote using pencil and traced them with the tool again. Woalah! Love it! ๐Ÿ˜€

On the second medium size of wood slice I got from Target, I stamped the big coffee cup from Hero Arts with StazOn ink pad then trace it with the wood burning tool. The word coffee was written with pencil, then traced it with the tool.

On the third wood slice, I ย wrote the quote from Micah 6:8, one of the popular Bible quote that always remind us what the LORD command us to do to others in the community. First I drew some lines to make sure when I write it straight. It is a big slice, a bit intimidating ๐Ÿ˜€ This wood slice is from Walnut Hollow.

Then, I wrote the quote with pencil and then traced them with wood-burning tool. Then I erased the pencil lines.

On the second take, I stamped some big poppy flowers from Donna Downey (Unity Stamp Co.) with StazOn ink pad and then traced them. I doodled the stalks and leaves, then traced them with the tool.

DIY Page Tabs With Envelope Punch Board

Today I am sharing a tutorial how to make page tabs with WRMK Envelope Punch Board.

DIY Page Tabs with Envelope Punch Board -- srcset= http://wp.me/p1DmW0-2cE #diy #papercrafting #biblejournaling #wermemorykeepers #wrmk #envelopepunchboard #diycraftsupply” width=”560″ height=”560″>

Since I do not have tab punch, I make my own page tabs using WRMK Envelope Punch Board. It is very easy to make and you can do in any sizes you need for your Bible journaling, or planner, or use them on any projects you want.

Here are the steps:

  • Cut paper or cardstock in sizes you desire. I cut mine on the video in 2 inches x 1.5 inches.
  • Score and fold.
  • Place it under the punch.
  • Punch one side.
  • Flip over and punch again.

Hopefully the picture video is clear enough to show you how to make them. Fell free to ask me questions in the comment if you have 😊

Have a blessed Friday and Happy Crafting!

DIY Wood-Burned Ornament

Christmas is less than a week from today, we got all presents (not yet wrapped!) and still have some projects to finish.

This morning I woke up at 5:30 am to finish the rest of these 30 wood-burned ornaments. I started this project last week and been working very slowly becasue I have to do this without my daughters around. The woodburing tool is SUPER HOT and dangerous!

DIY Wood-Burned Ornament by Helem Gullett | http://wp.me/p1DmW0-26T #ctmh #ctmhcountdown #christmasornament #woodburning #diy #giftidea #craft

I got these wood tags from Pick Your Plum a while ago and been sitting in the box. I saw lots of peope do wood-burning projects on wood chips or branches. And I thought… Hmmm… This might work with those wood tags. So I did some tries and ended up with this trick: second generation stamping and tracing.

First, I stamped the quotes from Reason for The Season stamp set and Merry Merry stamp set with Brown Staz-On ink (second generation), then I traced them with Plaid Wood Burning tool.
Finished them with some baker’s twine.

This is a simple and easy project as gift.ย I had too much fun & joy making these ornaments to give to our Church families as gifts together with they Christmas cards this year.

I hope you all have a wonderful week preparing for Christmas, to celebrate the birthday of the Lord and our Savior.

Supplies you need for this projects are:

Making them is easy and fun:

  • Cut the papers in 4.25″ square.
  • Glue the hoop on the paper using Liquid Glass.
  • When it is dry well (only take a minute to dry), cut along the edge of the hoop.
  • Decorate them with the White Pines Complements, Red Enamel Gems and Sparkle Clear Assortment.
  • For the Glory To God Hoop, trace the hoop with pencil, then stamp and heat emboss the images. Then glue the hoop and cut the edge.
  • Add the Fern Thick Twine (I cut 6″ long for each hoop) and tie up to make a hoop to hang it.

I really enjoy making them and they will be a gift for my daughter’s teacher. We had our first Parent-Teacher meeting with her and so thankful to get to know her more. We heard a lot of of amazing stories from our daugther about her teacher. She adores her!

And I will make more when I have a chance to get more mini embroidery hoops using the leftover supplies I have ๐Ÿ™‚

Hopefully you are inspired to create something for Christmas this year. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave your question at the comment box. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

DIY Fall Wreath Wood Plank

Hello crafty friends! Today I would like to share an amazing challenge for us who love making gifts and cards from our hearts.

Jennifer McGuire host this event called Sharing Handmade Kindness. She is awesome card designers and really love her heart for others. You can watch her video about this event here.

This fot the first week of Share Handmade Kindness Challenge and it is all about family and friends. The challenge is to make something for family member or friends, and actually send or give it to them. Isn’t that a great challenge?

Who doesn’t like handmade gift that made out of love and care? I know I do ๐Ÿ™‚

For this week challenge, I made this Give Thanks wreath wood plank.

I found this pre-made wood plank at Hobby Lobby. It is ready to be decorated. I got theseย Fall Wreath cutting fileย and the quote “In Everything Give Thanks” at Silhouette Design Store. I cut them using my Silhouette Cameo –ย the best crafting buddy ever! ๐Ÿ™‚ – and put them together. I added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink at all the edges of those leaves and using embossing tool, I scored some lines on those leaves to give them some textures of leaf vines.

For the acorns, I gave them some glitter using glitter glue. And using the handle of my embossing tool, I curled the edges of the acorns a little bit.

Final step is adding the finished wreath on the wood plank. I used the Gorilla wood glue. It is a stronger glue compare to glue gun or all-purpose glue on the wood.

It is a gift for our friends, who also our Pastor and his wife. So thankful God sent them to our church and to teach us the truth. What a blessing!

Crafty friends, you still have time to join this challenge and share kindness to your family and friends this week. To link up you project(s), please go here.
