Mixed Media Mini Canvas
Do you have a quote that you have used a lot over time? I have a couple of favorites…
“That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more” Popeye.
And this one… “I love you to the moon and back again”.
My Popeye quote may end up on a canvas someday but for today as a gift to my son, I’ve created this canvas for my grandbaby Melody’s room. I really like the 6×6 size and think it would look really cute on an easel.
I just love neutrals and this canvas came together really quickly. I find when I’m designing in my comfort zone, it is extremely easy! I’ve used the Tim Holtz Letterpress alpha’s along with some Engraver collection paper from Prima.
I typed my quote out and printed it onto card stock. This is an easy “cheat” when you have something personal to add to your projects.
I wanted to think outside the canvas and adding these hanging die cut stars was just what I was looking for.
I’ve shot a video of the entire process, you can view it below or on our YouTube Channel HERE.

This is awesome! I really need to try mixed media! Just love this!
The way you did it seems so easy but I think it’s going to be challenging for me. It is super lovely!
Great project!
Fabulous canvas !!!
We love this quote in our family too. It’s evolved into a whole dialogue… to the moon and back, to the stars, to infinity, to infinity and beyond… it just keeps going as long as my daughter can think of a new further distance ( and extend bedtime tuck-in time;) Maybe one day I will be gracing the walls of her child’s room with a ‘To the Moon and Back art canvas too.
Love your mixed media projects Shari! This would be wonderful for my Granddaughters!
My youngest son Cody and I used to say, “I love you to the moon and back” every night when I tucked him into bed. He is now 23 but still says it sometimes! He even bought me a wooden sign with it written on it for Xmas last year.
Just love how you create for your little grand baby!
OMG!
This is my absolute FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!
This is so very beautiful. What a treasure for your family to have and remember that sweet phrase with. I totally enjoyed seeing how you made it on the video too. It’s so helpful to see the hands on parts … makes me feel a little braver about trying things. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
Shari is so talented!

Loved this product demonstration! It is inspiring me to try to make some art for my home:)
I have a few small empty canvas awaiting for me. Great use of the stars.
This is just a gorgeous little project and one that is so adaptable and versatile. I may just be tempted to get a few of the small canvases after seeing this!! Thanks for the ideas!!
Wow…this is so beautiful and such a sweet gift!!
I have never really been into the mixed media but this is super cute and something I need to try for myself.
this is totally an amazing canvas, love the stars hanging off the frame!
It’s a beautiful project. Thanks for sharing
huh…I just did one myself on a 4×6 canvass. Hung it on my own wall with a little inspirational saying!
Very nice. I’m trying to learn the mixed media/art journal style and the details help.
Love this!
Oh so sweet and gorgeous! What a keepsake.
