I finally jumped on the trendy subway art bandwagon and had fun creating this canvas for our Halloween decor this year! It will look great in our entryway once I finish up a few other projects that I have been working on!
—First I painted a blank canvas with acrylic paint and let it dry.
—Then, using the Lyrical Letters & Paper Doll cricut cartridges, I created stencils with contact paper and applied them to the canvas.
—Then the fun began! I picked out some coordinating acrylic paint colors and began covering up the stencils.
—When the paint dried, I peeled off the contact paper, sprayed the canvas with a clear coat of spray paint and it was finished!
I’m sure it would have been a lot easier to just create a canvas print with a download-able printable that so many have shared on their blogs lately, but this was fun to make and personalized.
Thanks for looking!
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
I think it turned out so cute! And I love that you used your Cricut. I have gotten so tired of all the Silouette projects in Blogland…nice to see the Cricut getting some love. I love mine!
I so love this!!! I wish I had a Cricut too.
Funny story about that: I noticed one of my friends got a Cricut and I commented on her blog how excited I was that she has a cIrcuit (yes…for the longest time I thought it was called Circuit). She didn’t say anything, because she probably felt bad for me the european, but when I heard her say it in person, I was giggling in my mind, saying: Haha…she called it a CrIcut.
Oh the embarrassed when I actually found out that I was wrong.
I totally digressed here. Cute blog!
Cute Blog and such great ideas thecandos will be checking back often!
Very cute! I might need to add this cartridge to my collection, lol! Stop over for a visit sometime…

Brandy, this is so cute! I keep thinking about make some subway art and just haven’t done it yet. Maybe I’ll do one in time for Thanksgiving. Maybe a “thankful” one.
