Canvas Corp Brands - Christmas Blog Hop!

Hello friends! I am so excited to be participating in the Canvas Corp Brands Christmas Blog Hop today!! If you aren't familiar with Canvas Corp Brands, this wonderful company owns Canvas Corp, Tattered Angels and 7gypsies - three amazing companies themselves with beautiful, well made and trending products.  There is such an awesome assortment of goodies in the CCB Shop you'll have no problem choosing just the right products for your own projects! Today, I'm sharing a lovely Christmas Apron, and I can't wait to show you. 🎄 I started off by using one of the pre-sewn Canvas Corp canvas aprons. They are a great sturdy material and perfect to customize for any holiday or some special person on your Christmas Gift List!

I gathered a piece of the pretty blue ticking fringe and sewed it along the top of the apron.

I grabbed a pre-sewn canvas flower and sprayed it with Rose Gold Glimmer Mist and then added a cute reindeer button. I attached it to the apron with a safety pin so I could remove it if I needed to.

The Tattered Angels High Impact Paints were perfect to paint in the cute reindeer from an iron on transfer I found at Michaels. It looks so vintage and they remind me of the transfers I used to paint on as a kid!

Kitty Bee Designs #132 - All Wrapped Up!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you!  It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #132 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #132

All Wrapped Up

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge:

Kinda Cute by Patricia - http://kindacutebypatricia.com/

 

and 

Di's Digi Stamps - https://www.disdigistamps.com/

For this challenge I decided to create a cute Christmas card using the adorable Snowman and Friends Digital Stamp from Kinda Cute by Patricia.  He looks so happy surrounded by his little animal friends! I coloured the image with an assortment of Copics, Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers to match the Heartfelt Creations Paper Pad I've been using lately! I just love the pinks and teals for a little change up to the regular holiday colour scheme. 

I used a stitched square die to cut out the image and then layered it on top of the papers, ribbon, and an embossed piece of matching teal cardstock. Some Stickles and SpiegelMom Scraps sequins  add just a little extra bling for Christmas Cheer! (PS be sure to use the code KARLA15 to save 15% at the SMS Shop!)

Kitty Bee Designs #130 - Halloween/Fall!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you!  It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #130 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #130

Halloween/Fall

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

Just Me Digital Stamps - https://www.etsy.com/shop/JustMEdigitalstamps

and

Polkadoodles - http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/

For this challenge I'm sharing the adorable Winnie Wednesday Skull digi image from Polkadoodles! You can purchase her as a digital image either coloured or uncoloured. I decided to colour her in myself, but the precoloured image is really cute too!

I used some Prismacolor and Hobby Colour markers to colour her in after printing the image on regular white cardstock. I always print in 'fast draft' to lay down a lighter amount of ink and since the lines are fairly fine this resembles a no-line colouring technique, which is always fun to try!

I used some Lawn Fawn and Simple Stories papers and grabbed diecuts from Your Next Stamp, Kaisercraft, Waffleflower and Sizzix to cut out various elements for this card.

Inside, I stamped a cute greeting from a Lawn Fawn stamp set with Distress Oxide Ink.

I popped up some of the elements with foam tape and used the Simple Stories Vintage Halloween papers to add sentiments and those cute pumpkins. A bit of gel pen highlights adds some detail to the image to finish it off.
