no rules, just happy crafting
The lovely ladies of Stencil Girls asked me to be a guest blogger this week, and I’m excited to share my post with you!
You can find the full tutorial for this super fun wooden box HERE on their site. Check it out- their stencils rock and I had a lot of fun creating this special project. I love layering paints and inks and this really was a joy to create from a simple $1 wooden box.
Have a wonderfully creative weekend!
This fall I’m working on some new crafty skills – specifically embroidery and cross stitch! I’ll talk more about those in future posts. Today I want to share how I took my first real cross stitch project (yay!) and saved a lot of hours not to mention added dimension to it by using my ScanNCut DX!

What was the inspiration? I wanted to play with some texture on my tag and adding stamping and color while the tag was still wet.
