Primitive Pumpkin Trio

Happy Fall!  There's a crisp in the air and the leaves are changing colors.  It's time to change our home decor for Fall.

I have made a trio of Primitive Pumpkins which I think would look great in most any decor.  I will show some close-ups of each pumpkin, and there is a step by step tutorial over on the  Canvas Corp Brands Blog.  When you go to the blog, just scroll down to the second project and you will see the tutorial for these Primitive Pumpkins!

I hope you liked my version of primitive style pumpkins!

Have a crafty day ~ Deb  

Cutting Cafe Acorn Treat Cup Card & Giveaway

Welcome to the Cutting Cafe’s Blog Hop and Giveaway! Today we are doing something a bit different in that each design team member is giving away the very set(s) that were used to create the projects on our Blogs. You should of came from Regina Easter blog.

To create my project I used the Acorn Treat Cup Card which is part of the Halloween and Fall Treat Cup Cards. I used Canvas Corp burlap for the top of my acorn to add some texture and also added some Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the edges of the card. The sentiment I used also comes with the svg file, as well as sentiments for all of the other included cup cards. It's a little difficult to tell from the picture, but I did foil the sentiment with Gold Deco Foil, and used a Gina Marie Die to cut the sentiment out.

I felt as though the treat inside the cup needed to be orange to add a "pop" of color. So I ran out to my local CVS to pick up some candy corn....after all Halloween items are in all the stores now. Well, to my surprise, CVS had NO candy corn! They were loaded with back to school supplies! So what does a girl do? She scours the candy aisle until she finds a candy which is orange. What I found is quite interesting...they are orange creme Gummy Bears. I cant say they are my favorite flavor, but they sure did the trick for my "pop" or orange.

If you would like to win this set, which is loaded with super cute Halloween and Fall treat cup cards, just leave me a comment letting me know what you think about my project. I will be drawing one winner on Friday, June 9, 2017.

Personalized Crafting Aprons

Hey there!  As one of my projects for the Canvas Corp Creative Crew, I made these personalized crafting aprons.  I think they are fun and useful at the same time.

Here are a few more pictures showing some of the details.  For a full step-by-step tutorial, see my post on the Canvas Corp Blog.

As always, have a crafty day!  See you next time ~ Deb

Snips and Snails Baby Banner & Diaper Cake

I was tickled pink when I was asked to make a banner for my soon-to-be grandson. My son had asked that i use the words “Little One” so that he could hang it in the baby’s room. I wanted to use fabrics for the pennants so that it would hang well and last for a while. I had purchased the Snips and Snails mixed media pack and that’s where it all started. With the colors I used, it looks perfect over his changing table! I also made a coordinating diaper cake utilizing paper from Snips and Snails,

STEP 1

The first thing I did was choose the fabrics I wanted to work with, and cut them into the shapes I needed.

Step 2

I then splattered baby blue High Impact Paint and metallic white High Impact paint on all my pennant pieces. When they were dry, I added a light spray of navy blue and old lace Glimmer Mist.

STEP 3

The lettering was cut on my Silhouette Cameo using paper from the Snips and Snails collection. I distressed the edges of the circle with my distresser. I layered the cut out letter on a solid circle so that the baby blue stood out. I then added some burlap ribbon at the top.

STEP 4

For the end pieces, I cut two ovals out of burlap. I used my Big Shot and Tim Holtz’s Tattered Flower template to cut flowers or each end.

STEP 5

For the blue burlap pennant between the words, I used a burlap circle layered on a piece of paper from the collection, and a tag from the new Baby Tag set.

STEP 6

Between the first pennant, and between the words, I tore some denim and canvas to make a fringy look. I then added some navy glimmer mist, baby blue and white metallic high impact paint.

STEP 7

For the penants at each end, I used my Big Shot and cut Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers and adhered them on the burlap ovals.

STEP 8

I then cut some burlap ribbon and adhered to to the top of each pennant piece.

STEP 9

For the finishing touch, I used the Crop-a-Dile and attached bronze eyelets so I could thread the twine through all pieces.

It looks great on the wall above the changing table.  All the colors used are just perfect!

New Adventure

I am so proud and happy to announce that I am part of the Canvas Corp Brands 2017 Creative Crew! I am looking forward to the challenges and projects that I will be making and sharing as part of this amazing Creative Crew!

Happy Fall!

Hope you're having a great day after Halloween!  I here to share a step card I created using files from the Scrappy Dew Vault.  I have found an amazing amount of great files the Vault!

For this card I used Sprinkled with Love (which is in the Scrappy Dew Vault), and the sentiment is from Squirrely Fun.  For the centers of the sunflowers, I used Stampendous Fragments in Copper.  I think it gives the flowers just the bling they need.  The background paper is from Canvas Corp.  if you've never tried their paper before, you need to!  It's heavy weight and they have a lot designs to choose from!

Happy Crafting!!
