Christmas in July-Handmade Ornaments

Christmas in July-Handmade Ornaments

Make wonderful gifts for friends and family as well as adorning your home for

the holidays or using them as gift tags to hang on your wrapped gifts!

Over on my Facebook I did a LIVE creating these handmade ornaments, here.

https://www.facebook.com/creativescrapsbypeggylee/videos/302325084221343/

I used a Tim Holtz/Sizzix die to cut out these ornament shapes...I gathered items to embellish the

ornaments like vintage textured wallpaper, olde book paper, vintage music sheets, glitter, flowers, buttons....so much more....just search your scrappy supplies and have fun!

I also used printables, I search for free printables and printed away, cut 

them out and glue to chipboard!

I also used Prima's Sweet Peppermint paper collection to create this mint green ornament with 

Santa No Peeking....just so adorable!

Glitter and pipe cleaners are the cutest embellishments for ornaments for that vintage look and feel!

Who doesn't love glitter....lol

I even white washed my chip board ornament shapes with white paint, and cut out Santa heads

from the scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby....just love how simple and sweet these turned out.

Happy Mother's Day & Mixed Media Canvas Corp Brands

It's Sunday....

&

It's Mother's Day!

In honor of Mother's Day I created an mixed media card, with layers of

textures with depth. I truly believe that a handmade card or gifts 

are the best! 

"Happy Mother's Day"

Card

5x7 size 

I gathered a few of Canvas Corp Brands products and started to rip,

tear, distress and add paste with stencils.

I also too Canvas Corp Black & Ivory Chicken Wire Cardstock, I 

fussy cut out the chicken wire pattern...then embossed it many times

to build up the layers and sprayed with Tattered Angels glimmer mist to 

add color tones and texture.

Grabbed a Petaloo flower that was laying around my desk...I colored it with

Tattered Angels glimmer mist it's a great way to watercolor.

Butterfly I fussy cut and water colored the same as the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment and cut out a banner shape distress the edges 

and inked it up and tucked it into the flower.

The water color purple flower is from Tattered Angels

 Mixed Media Origins-Nature. 

I want to wish all mother's and grandmother's a

 Beautiful and Happy Mother's Day!

Hugs,

Peggy Lee

Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew 2017 "4x4 Canvas"

The Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew 2017!

I'm excited to share again that I am part of this

 amazing design team for another year!

Canvas Corp Brands is made up of 3 great

 brands-7Gypsies, Tattered Angels & Canvas Corp!

You can check out this amazing showcase of the

New Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew over on the 

Canvas Corp Brands Website.

Here is my 4x4 Canvas Art piece to announce

me as a part of the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew member.

I'm a little shabby chic, rustic, vintage kind of gal, 

let me walk you through my creative process.

I am drawn to chippy white treasure, old books, textiles and my 

favorite vintage mother of pearl buttons!

I started with Canvas Corp 4x4 Canvas it's a great base

to start your creative project. I took Gesso paint added

strokes of paint here and there, then took old book pages

ripped them into small pieces and glued

 them around the canvas.

I need texture so I added crackle paste allowed it to dry,

then using Tattered Angels glimmer mist sprayed them

over the cracked paste which allows the glimmer mist

to settle in the cracks giving depth.

I added some cheese clothe, 7Gypsies lace trims and 

Canvas Corps burlap cut piece to gather 

under the main focal piece. 

"Butterfly Tag" embellishment!

I started with Canvas Corp Butterflies on Ivory Cardstock,

I cut out on the butterflies and colored it with Tattered Angels

Glimmer mist. It's like watercolor painting 

it's really fun you need to try it.

To create tag I gather a 7Gypsies-Gypsies Moments

Recipe card, added some thread and adhered the colored

butterfly cutout with only glue in the center

 to give the wings lift. 

Hope you have enjoyed my walk through,  I'm so excited to be

apart of the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew for another

design team term...now be sure to follow the Canvas Corp Brands Blog 

for amazing inspiration and stop by the Canvas Corp Brands Shop

Shabby Chic Altered Mask

There is still time to get your projects in for the Canvas Corp Brands 

October Challenge...you have til Nov. 5th.

To see all the details and prize jump over to the 

Canvas Corp Brands Blog, HERE.

Here is what I came up with...this challenge sure did challenge me!

Shabby Chic 

Altered Mask

I started with a plain white mask from the craft store,

then I glued beads, buttons and pearls to the mask.

Painted it completely white...

Next was to add color....I pulled out my Tattered Angels

Glimmer mists, and started to spray and spray...so much fun.

I also used crackle paste to add beautiful texture...where the glimmer mist

sipped into the cracks...just love this effect.

Grabbed some of the Canvas Corp Brands burlap and muslin, 

7Gypsies lace, book and music paper, Petaloo butterfly, Tim Holtz 

Tattered Floral Die, created my own flowers.

And of course used Tattered Angels glimmer mist to add amazing

colors to the flowers and mask.

This challenge differently pushed me out side 

my creative box, but it was totally fun and worth it..

it's great to try new things and try new products.

Love the rustic texture with the shabby lace mixture!

Altered Mini Canvas Heart Necklace

With Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, I've been

busy making Valentine decorations, handmade cards, etc....

So this got me thinking why not a piece of jewelry!

Here is my altered

"Mini Canvas Heart Necklace"

I gathered up some items new and old...vintage finds!

It all started with a Canvas Corp Mini Canvas Banner Shape.

I colored my raw canvas piece with Tattered Angels glimmer mist.

Folded the mini canvas shape in half, cut out a heart shape.

Here is some yummie color mists and glaze!!

I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists in

Lobster, Red Chillies, Wedding Pink, Woven Burlap

and Plumeria Glimmer Glaze.

Time to embellish!!

I first covered my heart with a stencil

and modeling paste let it dry.

Punched my holes added eyelets 

to create my chain through.

The open space was great to tuck in

7Gypsies lace just having it peeking out.

Gathered some vintage lace, trims and buttons 

to embellish!

Enjoy the close up photos...

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hope this inspires you to gather a few supplies

and create your own altered jewelry.

Mixed Media Canvas

Mixed Media Canvas-I am sharing an olde but a goodie....enjoy!

I got to have some creative play this week with a friend and knew I wanted to create a mixed media canvas for someone special. That is why there is no title on this art piece yet (I will post after I have mailed this art piece out)! This was a lot of fun to create...

It all started with a plan 6x6 canvas, I glued down some wrinkled natural tissue paper.

I forgot to snap a photo of me trying out my new find which was Martha Stewart Stucco Paint where I used Crafters Workshop stencils with Splash of Color Primary Elements: Majestic Blue-Costa Rica and Dragon Wing powders those are so cool to mixed with molding paste or stucco like I used.

I used my favorite Tim Holtz Sizzix die: Tattered Floral which I cut with Coraline fabric with some of my favorite Tattered Angels glimmer mist. I just love how the Coraline will hold it's shape while being dried. I also used some Petaloo flowers that came in white.

I used some Dusty Attic chipboard pieces, which I cut apart and gesso them with spraying glimmer mist to give a weathered look.

These are Tim Holtz Sizzix die: Gears gesso-glimmer misted!!!

I just love how they came out.

Here is a close up of the handmade flowers with a Prima flower.

The next sets of photos show case the textures of adding layers of:

gesso, stucco, glimmer mist and stamping.

the fibers are cheese cloth covered in glimmer mists....

oops-I was being lazy and used my hand to clean my stamp...lol

and whoola my finished canvas (only needs a title) and will be complete and I hope my friend that someone special will enjoy it.

Don't be afraid of mixed media grab a few supplies and just start playing, it's all about the layers...enjoy!!
