Create a Lovely Desk Art Gallery in Seconds for Pennies

February 11, 2021

Today I'll show you how to Create a Lovely Desk Art Gallery in Seconds for Pennies! After Tuesday's adventure with a wall hanging, I noticed a frame in the book case with nothing in it--then I though--hey, let's see what we can do...and even more quickly than the wall hanging I had a gorgeous framed Desk Art to really brighten up a winter day with the promis of spring.

Yes, I used the same sheet of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper but just the upper left corner this time...

Desk art

I simply cut a 5 X 7 piece from the 12 X 12 Fine Floral Art designer paper, inserted it in the frame (I did remove the glass) and added a bright shiny brass butterfly using the Floating & Fluttering die set (Fluttering Dies) with the ultra shiny brass foil paper. I pulled up the wings slightly and adhered the butterfly with a glue dot. And, it's kind of like magic but I didn't need my wand this time.

Need to brighten up a shelf in your stamp room or need a quick pick-me-up gift for a friend? You can complete this project in less than 10 minutes and that's if you have to grab coffee first!

Below is a list of the supplies I used for this art and remember Sale-a-bration items can be earned when you purchase $50 in Stampin'Up! product you can get one for free. There are other freebies that you can recieve for $50 or $100 purchases--if you don't have a SAB brochure you can click here to download one Download 2021_SAB_US

If you haven't received your Jan-June Mini, you can download it here Download JJ_2021_US

If you are like me and want a hard copy to hold in your hands (and don't already have a demonstrator) contact me and we'll get one to you.

Sale-a-bration is January through February--these free items are available as long as supplies last--so you want to grab these goodies soon.

Also, if you place an order online and use this month's host code (TYTK7BJZ) you'll receive $5 in Stampin'Up! product (selected by me) for each $50 in product that you purchase.
