Envelope Recipe Keeper

   Over at Canvas Corp Brands blog the entire creative crew were issued a challenge to create a way to save recipes. For this I knew I didn't want to create a normal recipe box but I didn't know what to create until I go the mail a couple of weeks ago. In the mail were some cards from a pet rescue. I always keep the cards to make gift tags but this time I also kept the envelopes. I left the envelopes on my desk when I started to start this challenge. When I made the cards I ws like these fit perfectly in them so I just went with it. In the end, I had something like this.

  Hello and welcome to another home decor project i have created as a part of the Canvas Corp. Brands creative crew. This time I am revamping some fall color candles into a beachy theme. 

Supplies from Canvas Corp. Brands:

Jute Rope Light Natural Hank 14' 

Paper Tape: Postale (3 rolls)

Aqua- Stained Glass 1.35oz

Rich Brown- Plain Jane Simply Sheer 2oz

Other:

Flameless candle

Liquid glue

Directions:

   Step 1: Wrap candle with the paper tape.

    Step 2: Paint the paper tape with stain glass. I did two coats. This gave it a nice ocean blue color.

    Step 3: Mist the rope with the brown mist.

    Step 4: Using your favorite liquid glue attach the rope to the paper tape.

   Tip: Using the paper tape and adding any alterations on top of it allows you to remove the wrap without any damage to the candle. This is a cheap and simple way to dress up a out of season candle and  make use of it at any given time.

A Project for the Kiddies - CCB

   This project I am about to share with you today is kid friendly. The challenge for the Canvas Corp Brands creative crew was to create a kid project that they would want to make and we would want to display it.  I thought about this long and decided a cute embroidery hoop wood be a great thing for a kid to work with. 

   I am going to share everything you will need and the steps on how your little ones can create this. 

 

Supplies from Canvas corp Brands:

Gypsy Moments Tags: Handmade 

30" x 36" Fabric - Green Burlap

Jute Cord Balls Natural 225'

Gravel- Baseboard 2oz

Bittersweet- Baseboard 2oz

Canary- Chalkboard 2oz

Other items you will need: 

embroidery hoop

adhesive cork (Contact)

felt

stencil (The Crafter's Workshop)

Click on the image below to view images bigger.

Step 1: Mist gravel mist onto a cotton ball and rub it on top outer hoop.

Step 2: Using the inner hoop trace the outer edge onto the cork. Cut out with scissors. 

Step 3:  Put the felt in hoop and tighten. 

Step 4: Adhere the cork circle.

Step 5: Lay mask on top of hoop and mist with three remaining colors. I  started with the lighter shade in the center and work my way out using the darker tones. Remove mask. I picked these colors to use because I thought it blended in with the cork so it kind of give an optical illusion that the design isn't there unless you look at it a certain angle. I thought a kid would love that magical feature.  Step 6: Gather the fabric in the center.

Step 7: Wrap the center with just about four times tie a knot and leave the tails long.

Step 8: Attach bow and tag to hoop.

I am sure any kid would love to make this because it allows them to get messy.

Step 1: Mist cardstock with the canary yellow. I didn't care to wipe the mask off when it got covered in between sprays. I like how it left yellow blotches to the paper.  

Step 2: Adhere tissue paper and paint edges with the stain glass. 

Step 3: I took the green swirl paper from the paper pad and changed the color of it with the mists and stamped a honeycomb design in blue ink. Let dry.

Step 4: Punch paper with shape punch and adhere.

Step 5: Cut out the Tattered Tangle. Color with mist and stain glass. Adhere

Step 6: Paint the edges of script paper with the the daffodil mist. Adhere.Tip: I just unscrewed the bottle and used the stem of the pump as a brush.

Step 8: Adhere sequins. 

Step 9: Mat photo and adhere.

Step 10: Add title

Here is the finish result. My favorite thing about this was that I could alter all my items with the Tattered Angels paints and mists. This allows one to stretch their supplies but get totally unique project.

   I would love to hear from my readers on how you like the step-by step photos on how I created my projects. Is there too many pics or steps, should I combine steps, etc? Am input is greatly appreciated.

My Style - Canvas Corp Intro

   At the start of the creative crew welcoming we were given a fun challenge to create a canvas the best represent our style. The trick was to squeeze us into a 4 x 4 canvas. That is a small area for me to get my favorite things on but I did. I am going to share step-by-step photos and instructions on how I created my canvas.
