A Blog Hop - Canvas Corp and Bella Blvd

It is so exciting to be participating in a blog hop with wonderful products from Bella Blvd and Canvas Corp.

I love bright colors and this Sweet Sweet Spring from Bella Blvd was a joy to create with.  The papers are also double sided which helps coordinate your color choices when crafting.  I did get a little carried away and made four projects.  

The first project is a card.  I used a Kraftcard base with canvas fabric on it from Canvas Corp.   I used the teal burlap  to mat the pink bunny paper.  A strip of pink floral paper, the yellow scalloped sticker border and Happy Easter sentiment sticker were added to the top of the panel.  A simple bow from the turquoise cord completed the card.

 

The second card is a simple encouragement card using a panel from Bella Blvd.  There are so many people who are struggling at different times and it is nice to be able to send a little snail mail to them to encourage them and let them know you are thinking of them.  The panel is backed with black to make it pop on the card front.  A small piece of the teal burlap peaks out on one side.  The simple bow is made out of thread pulled from the burlap square.  It added the perfect finishing touch to this card.  I did use a glitter pen to add glitter to the butterfly. 

The next project is a small canvas.  I used another panel from the Bella Blvd for the focal point of my canvas.  I think I may use it for a graduation gift this spring.  Three of my neighbor grandchildren are graduating this spring and I think this says it all about them.  Of course, I don’t think Ben would appreciate it as much as Kristin or Lexi.  Unfortunately I did not have one of the fabulous canvases from Canvas Corp so I recycled a used one from my stash.  I covered it with Bella Blvd paper.  The paper was adhered with gel medium.  A mat of orange burlap was then placed on the canvas.  The panel was matted on black.  I added a piece of acrylic which I had painted with the blue from the Spring Collection paint set.  I adhered it to the top of the panel with small dots of Glossy Accents.  I also added two of the wonderful little clothespins from Canvas Corp.  The panel was pop dotted onto the burlap mat.  I did use my glitter pen to add glitter to the rainbow and hearts.

The last project is for Easter.  Who does not like jelly beans?  I made a holder for the jelly beans using my Silhouette Cameo.  It is tied shut with the green cord.  Of course, you need a coordinating card to go with your gift of jelly beans.  I used another one of the panels from Bella Blvd (I guess by now you figured out that I really liked all those panels).  I matted the panel with bright pink.  Bright pink is also used as the mat for the egg paper.  A small strip of the green burlap was stapled to the card front.  (I had to hunt for that stapler and when I used it – there were blue staples in it – I wonder how old those staples are.)  I pop dotted the panel to the card front after I had added a Cute Clip from Bella Blvd to the top left corner.  I then decided the lower right corner needed a little embellishment also.  Once again I pulled some threads from the burlap fabric and tied a simple bow.
