Canvas Corp: Decorative Labels

February 1, 2015

Hi everyone! I’m here to share a quick project for all you planner loves out there. I have a Filofax personal planner and I am by no means have a very busy life but I do like keeping up with my weigh in, steps, projects, blogging, appointments, daily reading, etc. I like to have labels to write like my daily reading, weigh in and steps on and since I couldn’t find any cute labels out there I decided to create my own. I bought a pack of Avery Easy Peel Return Address Labels (5195) which are 2/3×1 3/4″. I figured that gives me enough room to write down either one chapter to several a day in the area. I took one of the sheets of stickers out and cut in half. That’s 30 stickers which is perfect (two leftover) for the month of February.

First I shook up the Crushed Shells glimmer mist and since this bottle has a slight leak I had ink inside the capped area. So I took the cap off over the stickers and drizzled and splattered. Also I took the cap and added random circles over the area and then lightly spritzed with Bronze glimmer mist. I used a blow dry to speed up the drying process.

Next I spritzed Candy Apple Red glimmer mist (discontinued) and blowed dried again to speed up the process.

I used this Canvas Corp Cig Stamp CVC Grateful stamp set…

Also I used Canvas Corp Cig Stamp CVC Be Beautiful stamp set to decorate the stickers.

I used red ink and stamped different images from both sets of stamps.

Here is the beginnings of my planner for the month of February. I know it isn’t as pretty as some planners I’ve seen out there but it is a work in progress.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Sunday is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Chester & the Boneyard Band

October 20, 2014

Hi everyone! I’m back to share another quick Halloween card I created. The base of the card is a folded 6″x6″ piece of purple cardstock and then I adhered layers of cardstock/scrapbook paper to along with a paper doilie which I sprayed with Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mantis glimmer mist.

The vineyard band cut apart is from Echo Park ‘s Chillingsworth Manor collection. I distressed the edges, inked and added pop dots before I adhered to the card. I made tulle bows which I glued behind the card along black twine, pom poms and flowers.

I finished off the card with some green ric rac, buttons, sequin and Dew Drop. There you have it another easy peasy card. 🙂 If you have any questions please let me know.

Also I am submitting this card for the Orange and Black/Halloween theme challenge over at the Paper Wings Production blog.
