Today I am sharing a little DIY trick over on My Craft Channel show, Everyday Creative with Liz Hicks. For this fun project we are using plaster cloth, some Graphic 45 papers and some goodies from Clearsnap.
I have always been a fan of plaster cloth for 3D arts but thought it would be fun to use on a paper crafting project. This is a cute little 6x6 shadow box I created using plaster cloth and a sneak material that you will see on the video. This shadow box is a little different from the one I created in the video, but some what the same. I gave the original to a sweet friend of mine which gave me a reason to create a new one!
You gotta love the depth of this little guy.
Here is a little close up of the depth with the stamp details (Graphic 45 stamps)
So make sure to check out this weeks giveaway featuring some wonderful products from Graphic 45 and Clearsnap... Here is what is being offered by both companies! (edited to add Graphic 45 picture).

Thank you again for being a part of this fun web series... I keep thinking of so many fun techniques that I need to try and sit down and video. Hopefully after this series ends, I can spend some time taping again :)
Thanks again!

I think I would find it useful for creative bases for my art dolls!
ReplyDeletec'est magnifique!!!
ReplyDeleteI love shadow boxes, no need to worry about how many embellishments you pile on!! lol....this is just beautiful
ReplyDeleteI have inherited some miniature books, dishes and other very tiny items from my Father, and would love to create a display with those items. Stamping/embossing into the semi wet canvas plaster will be great fun as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such great techniques. I learn so much from this hops and the projects are amazing. I will look forward to your videos.

This is so beautiful, love the vintage distressed look of that plaster cloth! TFS
ReplyDeleteI love this! I think I could use this technique on a card or embellishment for the Steampunk group I joined. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI think it might work on an ATC or similar. Love your shadowbox.

Love this new to me technique. Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteEstá hermoso!
ReplyDeleteLove this, will have to try it out. TFS
ReplyDeleteI have never seen plaster cloth before--it looks intriguing. I love the effect with the stamping.
ReplyDeleteI remember using plaster cloth to make a stepped pencil holder at school. Mixing this technique with my G45 papers & clear snap chalk inks would make a grown-up project for my craft room. Thanks for the reminder about this great product. Theresa
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to try this technique on my canvas.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, something new I haven't tried before - plaster cloth. Very unique shadow box and well done. Love the depth of the box and the small size. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNever seen or heard of plastic cloth...will be checking that out....love your ABC box....so creative...tfs
ReplyDeleteLove this unique finish. Will definitely have to try it out myself, & who doesn't love 3D butterflies.
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous box!
ReplyDeleteI love this technique. I think it would be a really cool way to add texture to the front of a cheap notebook. Definitely need the inks to go with it. Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThis would be a fantastic way to add texture to paper mache forms, which I alter quite a bit. Love your blog and tutorial.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea , great texture and depth!
ReplyDeletethis is a great idea. I've never done anything like it before. I really want to do it to canvas like you did.
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome idea!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the texture and the grungy vintage feel of this piece is awesome. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWow I've never heard of plaster cloth before but I can see how much fun it would be to play with in order to add texture and depth to any project..my next question would be 'where could I get some?' LOL
ReplyDeleteYou can find it in the mold and casting aisle of your local craft store. I found mine at Hobby Lobby where you find molds for casting. It is a ton of fun!
DeleteAwesome project! I have never heard of plaster cloth before I cant wait to get my hands on some and see what I can do with it. I am new to art journaling and altered canvases so this will be a fun way to challenge myself! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool,and loved the texture! I love altered projects and would love to try out this technique in future projects!
ReplyDeleteThis technique and instructional video were a great way for me to learn something new this morning. I have a few frames that I had set aside with the intent to create some paper crafting multi-textural art once I found the right inspiration. And this is it! Thank you, Liz, for the fabulous teaching and inspiring ideas!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see picture of how you used this technique! If you have a chance to share, that would be awesome!
DeleteBeautiful and unique project!
ReplyDeleteoh no! Now I have something new to learn! Amazing transformatin!
ReplyDeleteLove the plaster cloth, first time I've ever seen that! Would be fun to use to dress up a plain wood desk set - file tray, pencil cup, etc.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen plaster cloth used before. In fact, I've never heard of it. Awesome project and great tutorial! I am thinking of doing a Ginger Jar shadow box. I have been trying to find Ginger jar art to go with my new Ginger Jar breadspread for my bedroom. I think I'll just make my own! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI so love all the new altered projects I see. I think I need to overcome my anxitey and start trying some! Thanks of the great idea!
ReplyDeletei love this project!
ReplyDeleteI would do this on a cover of a mini album!! Great Idea TFS!
ReplyDeleteI don't think my comment registered on the widget, but G45 sent me and it looks like I'll be a new stalker to your site. Thanks for the great video and I love anything G45!
ReplyDeleteI love this project !
ReplyDeleteFabulous, love the effect and depth. I think this would look great on a box lid or as a journal cover. You could even do it inside a book cover.
ReplyDeleteWow. This is really awesome. Thank you for sharing. Don't ya just love G45?
ReplyDeletehello, woow everything is lovely!
ReplyDeleteis in line for a prize: D

I have never used plaster cloth. I can see many uses in my mixed media canvases! Thanks for the demo.

Thanks for a great project. Was not aware of plaster cloth and will definitely need to play with some. So clever to use foam bits to build up dimension on a frame. Both ideas are percolating around for altering cigar boxes.
ReplyDeleteLove the project. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletewow such great work.Thanks for sharing it!!
ReplyDeleteOh how cool!! This could work if you wanted to make boxes, houses etc to hide your minis in. I've seen all kind of incredible things people do with paper. Now I can just use foam and plaster it:)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Love this!
ReplyDeleteI love this project! I always wanted to try altering
ReplyDeleteold book covers now I think I will! TFS
I love the Beautiful texture and the final turnout..Would like to give this a try on my love of collecting and altering cigar boxes...thanks for the new idea...love it.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!! I just found your NEW episodes at My Craft Channel and I had to watch them ALL!! =) I LOVED your videos!! Can't wait to see more!! THANKS for sharing and for the chance to win!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fun to try this technique in a larger size and maybe add in some of the other colors of Clearsnap sprays and inks for a holiday feel!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat technique and an awesome project. I think I would like to try it on the cigar boxes that I have been altering. It would bring the finished project to a whole new level!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
This is just what I was looking for. Thank you xx Michelle
ReplyDeleteSo creative and lovely. I've never used these items, but may give the cloth a try. Thanks. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteDon't know why my name was not attached to my comment...so here I go again...

What a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteI love that shadow box Liz and can't wait to see more tomorrow and in the video!!! I can't believe I won. Do you still have my address or do I need to send it. I haven't used that paper yet but looking forward to it. I'm kind of scared of ruining it!!! hee-hee!
ReplyDeletePlease post ENABLER ALERT....lol! Can't wait to try this technique:)
ReplyDeleteI've never used the plaster cloth. I have to try this. I love the look, and you made it look so easy to do. Your video was great. I'm going back to view your older videos now! Thanks for the inspiration, and the opportunity to win some great goodies.
ReplyDeleteThis would be wonderful for making fancy frames for photos or ATC collections! What a great look!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, I can't think of another way to use this stuff, but I'm sure, given a little time, I can come up with several ways.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderfully made project and a great idea. It will great to see if they remember why they collected what they did when they get older. It's a great story teller.
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful frame and your tutorial is excellent....thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the video and seeing new techniques and ideas! I look forward to trying it soon! ;-}

I have a small wooden box that I gave my husband years ago that I've reclaimed and said I want to redo- this may be a great technique to use on it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent tutorial & I'm hoping to try it! :). Love G45 & Clearsnap! Great products! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
ReplyDeleteThis is a product I am not familiar with! I will have to get it and try it out!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I have some special pieces that my boys have made for me at daycare and school that would suit this technique beautifully!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome! more supplies for my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteGreat project thanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteOkay, it helps to read the prompt before commenting! Enjoyed your tutorial and have some great ideas to "make it my own"! I'd use tissue paper instead of the casting stuff and then I'd put a fiber piece in the center!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI am always so fascinated at people's talent. The use of different medias on your projects is wonderful. Ahh-to be so talented! Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for the inspiration and the ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love the shadow box. The plaster cloth adds so much dimension and imagination to the box. It is fantastic. Also, thank you for the opportunity to win such great prizes.
ReplyDeleteThat video was awesome and I absolutely loved the great effect she got with the foam and plaster supplies. This would be a great technique for mini frames as Christmas ornaments!
ReplyDeleteWhat an extraordinary frame - the textures and images are just amazing! Thank you so much for the inspiration and the chance to win such amazing prizes!

I love the texture in this project! Shadowboxes are one of my favorite things...will have to try this technique!
ReplyDeleteSeveral years back I used this plaster cloth to cover gourds for texture and also used it on bowling pin scarecrows. It was alot of fun to work with and gave great texture. But I really loved you shadow box frame. TFS.
ReplyDeleteThe technique matches an aged piece of wood beautifully! Who would have guessed it was cloth!
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping with the giveaway. Have a blessed day!
Excellent tutorial. I just finished a shadow box myself, where I turned the small canvas around and used the inside as my foundation. I liked it a lot. But I loved your beveled edge even more. Next Time!!! perhaps when I work on my QUIET prompt!
ReplyDeleteBeautifull project: loved the use of this technique with this gorgeous Graphic 45 papers... such a delight!!!
ReplyDeleteFab use for this plaster product. Timely as my son has just broken one wrist and fractured the other arm!! So there is another use for it - but a craft one I was thinking about was to cover polystyrene shapes such as wreaths at Christmas or even better Halloween time - great to leave it rough then - you have definitely set me thinking - great video!
ReplyDeletei love anything butterfly so ... this fits the bill. plus it's a great way to use a new/diffferent medium!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work Liz love it! wonderful colors and design! thanks for the chance to win.....that gorgeous prizepack hugs Amy :)
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteI love shadow boxes-and I wouldn't have made one out of a canvas before! Thanks for the inspiration and idea!
ReplyDeleteI'd use this technique for adding layers and texture to altered art projects. Ty for the generous giveaway chance!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog, but it won't be the last! What a fun technique, can't wait to try it! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of doing a shadow box, i think this will spur me on to doing it, i love yours, I love butterflies so this is perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteI found some lovely shadowbox frames at HL for 50% off but I like this idea using canvas and foam even better. Will probably do both. THanks!
ReplyDeleteFantastic project, Liz! Thank you for having this for us!
ReplyDeletegreat project and great giveaway.
