Door Plaques for the Grandkids

This is something else my daughter had on the Christmas lists for my grandchildren.  I had good intentions of getting them done before Christmas, but it didn't happen.  I had started on Isaiah's, but I did not get to finish it.  So, I finished both of these on Monday. 

I used 8"x10" canvas that I bought at Wal-Mart.  I don't remember how much I paid for the canvas, but it wasn't expensive, maybe $3 for a package of 3??  I covered the canvas in patterned paper, chalked the edges, punched holes with my Crop-a-Dile, and finished them as follows:

Isaiah's Plaque:

Isaiah's Room:  Pooh Font Cricut cartridge -- Marker Feature, cut at 2"
Dinosaurs:  Purple dinosaur -- Create A Critter Cricut cartridge at 3 1/2" (I think); green dinosaur -- Create A Critter at 2 1/2".
Border punch:  EKSuccess




Ashlyn's Plaque:

Ashlyn's Room:  Alphalicious Cricut cartridge -- shortstack feature, cut at 2"
Flowers:  Nifties Fifties Cricut cartridge -- cut at 2"
Gems in center of flowers:  Brads that I cut the backs off
Flower Border Punch -- Martha Stewart
Butterflies -- Martha Stewart Punch
I used Stickles with a foam brush to paint glitter over the entire canvas.





Hope you like them. My daughter seemed to be pleased.


Thanks for your sweet comments.
