Happy Friday. (Doesn't that statement sound like music to the ears?)
It is snowing like crazy here. And, unfortunately, I am ready for warm weather. Just gotta wait…
Thought I would share a card I made for the CHA Ranger booth using Claudine Hellmuth's Sticky Back Canvas. Boy, do I love this stuff. It is one of my most-used products for many reasons. 1. It is a great way to add texture to a project without bulk. 2. It frays easy like fabric, but is sturdier and easy to work with. 3. One package goes a long way. 4. There are lots of great stamping techniques you can do right on it. 5. Claudine is so stinkin' sweet. Fun stuff.
So, this card was actually made from Sticky Back Canvas. I just cut notches in the canvas and tore it to be create straight, already-frayed edges. (LOVE that.) I made the piece 5.5"x8.5" and stuck it to a slightly smaller white cardstock piece. I folded it in half and viola – I have a fabric card I can write in. I then stamped and heat embossed layers on the front and inked the edges. All the flowers were painted with Claudine's paints and die cut. I distressed the edges with my fingernails (to fray) and inked. Love all the layers.
Supplies: Claudine Hellmuth Sticky Back Canvas; Claudine Hellmuth Paints; Hero Arts definition background, leaf background and greeting; Quickutz dies; Creative Impressions twine; embossing powder; Black Memories Ink; Vintage Photo Distress Ink; Ink Blending Tool and old buttons
Sticky Back Canvas comes in two size packs: 12×12 and 8.5×11. I get the 12×12 as it is more bang for your buck. It goes a long way for me as I often use just small pieces.

People have asked if I like Claudine's paints and what make them special. I adore them. They go on like butter and come in outstanding colors. They are easy to work with and a little goes a long way. I like that when I paint with them on the canvas, I can heat it to dry so I don't have to wait. The Modern Red and Landscape Green are my faves. Delicious.
Have a great day. Tomorrow we will be working on Valentines gifts, shoveling, our new bathroom and dinner with a dear friend and her new hot man. Can't wait. 
Take care.

This is so pretty. I’m becoming a fan of sticky back canvas thanks to Jana’s class and your videos. If you saw my results from Thursdays class you would see I need LOTS of practice. Thanks for the reminder of your videos, I’m the type that needs “visual aides”

WOW, Jennifer! This card just jumps off the screen. I’ve never tried Sticky Back Canvas. Thanks for the reminder to buy some.
i have never tried it with my cricut – sorry!
i just have collected a lot through the years. many on ebay.
Beautiful card~ I have recently been trying to learn/try out new techniques, but haven’t tried sticky back canvas yet. The cards you made with sticky back canvas are gorgeous, but it looks difficult to me.. Thank you for sharing~
i tie the knot then glue them on the card to avoid it showing on the other side.
That card is beautiful! It needs to be framed.
Love your cards with the sticky back canvas!
What a neat card!! TFS
You sure have a busy week! Have FUn
I am amazed at your endless creativity. Great card!
I really like the texture of this card. You’ve sold me on the canvas.
Absolutely beautiful!
LOVE this!
