Canvas Corp Brands - Christmas Bulb Challenge!

Hello! Hope you all had a great weekend. We took it easy, did some crafting - of course - and watched some Christmas Classics. My favourite thing to do is snuggle up on the couch in the living room with the Christmas Tree on. I have to remind myself to just sit and relax sometimes! Since we're in the festive spirit, I definitely wanted to share a tutorial I have over at the Canvas Corp Brands Blog where I'm creating three Christmas ornaments for this month's Christmas Bulb challenge. I'm using beautiful pre-printed canvas in the Canvas Corp Jolly Christmas Mix & Match Pad from the Canvas Corp Brands Shop. These are quick and easy to stitch up for your own tree or as a gift set.

Here's inspiration for our challenge! We'd love for you to join us. You can link up HERE. Just use at least one product from Canvas Corp, 7gypsies or Tattered Angels!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Step by Step tutorial, closeup photos and a supply list on the Canvas Corp Brands Blog. Have an awesome week friends!

Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew Challenge - Think Pink!

Hello! I sure hope you've had an awesome week 💗 Mine was great, but flew by so fast! Today I'm sharing a pretty gift bag for my daughter's teacher. Her birthday was today and Amie, who is 11, just adores her.  She's had an amazing school year so far - isn't that awesome when that happens?!! Amie even went in early with some class mates to decorate the classroom and the teacher was so surprised and thought it was very sweet. This gift bag goes along with our Pink Theme for our Crew Challenge this month on the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Studio blog in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

I fussy cut a lovely tea pot from the printed Bags and Beans Canvas sheet and painted it with the Tattered Angels Mists. I then added some French knot embroidery stitches and glued it down with tacky glue. I used the Tattered Angels Mists on a piece of plastic packaging to add a ‘smooshed’ effect to the canvas bag as well as the Happy Birthday tag and then used the Mists again to colour the seam binding ribbon to match.

I was able to stamp directly onto the white paper mini bag using Archival ink and a fabulous coffee stamp from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies, designed by Pam Bray. I then used the Tattered Angels Mists and paints to add colour to the image. The bag is the perfect size to slip a gift card into.

I tucked the decorated mini bag into the tiny tote and added a happy birthday tag for a very special gift card presentation. A few sparkly SpiegelMom Scraps sequins and a pretty pink handmade flower from Little Birdie Crafts finish it off.

Canvas Corp Brands - Fall Blog Hop!

Hello Friends! Thank you so much for stopping by today. You are in for a treat! Today I am participating in a MEGA BLOG HOP!!!!!! There are 18 fantastic designers world wide that have come together to showcase terrific fall projects that you can recreate and put your own artistic touches on in your craft room. You have seen a lot of these designers featured on The Canvas Corp Brands blog using Tattered Angels, 7 Gypsies and and Canvas Corp products! Do you see a trend? This is the CCB Fall Blog HOP! Each of these designers have created a project to share with you on their blog. Some are offering prizes - including me! so please hop on through to each blog. If you are inspired we would love if you would share the hop with others 💓 We would truly appreciate it!

For my project for this fabulous fall hop I’ve created a pretty autumn wreath using some dollar store goodies I upcycled with lots of fun products from the Canvas Corp Brands Shop. Fall is my favourite season! I can’t help getting excited about the fall colours, sweater weather, and Pumpkin Spice everything! 

Here are the steps I used to create my fall wreath:

I sprayed a white dollar store grapevine wreath with Tattered Angels Rose Gold and Woven Burlap Glimmer Mists and let dry. Then I glued strips of Canvas Corp burlap around, using hot glue to attach the ends.

Next, I sprayed faux leaves and berries (dollar store finds) with Golden Lime and the Rose Gold Glimmer Mists and the acorns and pinecones with the Woven Burlap and Dark Vintage Green Glimmer Mists. The mica in the mists gave the fall foliage a lovely shimmer and shine and adds such a nice effect!

I sprayed the Tattered Angels Mixed Media Mini Origins 'The Vines' paper with various colours of Glimmer Mists and then fussy cut them out. This mixed media paper is just amazing to work with - so thick and perfect with water mediums. I added some Emerald Creek Thanksgiving Embossing Powder to parts of the leaves and heat embossed to add even more glittery goodness and added a bit of ink around the edges.

I finished off the wreath by gathering some Canvas Corp Red Hemp Rope into a circle and hot gluing it to the wreath, adding all my glimmered elements and some pretty Little Birdie Crafts handmade flowers. This wreath came together nice and quick and I just love how it turned out!

Canvas Corp Brands - To The Sea June Challenge Layout!

Hello! I hope you're having a great week so far! I volunteered on a field trip with my youngest daughter's kindergarten class today - it was very busy, but lots of fun! Hard to believe we are into June already and on our way to the end of the school year. We go to the end of June here... and before you know it it'll be beach weather!! Woo-hoo! I was so excited for this month's Canvas Corp Brands challenge - To The Sea and found these photos of myself at the beach last year on a camping trip. I love how they matched up with the sentiments and fun beach themed supplies I pulled from lots of fun CCB products, which include Canvas Corp, 7gypsies and Tattered Angels. The new Tattered Angels Color Wash Paints were a dream to watercolour with! I also added in some Emerald Creek Dirty Sand Embossing Powder and SpiegelMom Scraps sequins.

Here's a look at our mood board for June. We would love for you to link up as well!! Just by including one of our fabulous CCB products - that's Canvas Corp, Tattered Angels or 7gypsies - you'll be entered to win a fantastic prize pack! You can link up at our main post HERE.

Be sure to head over to the Canvas Corp Brands blog - The Creative Studio - for a step by step tutorial on how I created the layout, see closeups (the canvas looks so cool up close!) and get a supply list! We can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge! Wishing you a fantastic week ahead. 💕
