Fun With Canvas!

Today we have some very special projects using some of our newest CANVAS pieces. Canvas is a blank medium just waiting for you to customize it with paints, mists, or any other art medium you got!

First up we have a mini-camera bag that Jen turned into a small purse for her daughter!

Jen Jockisch took our small camera bag and turned it into a mini-purse for her daughter! Now how creative is that? A sparkly Prima butterfly takes center stage, while felt Devines, E-Line flowers and pearls add accents, and our crystal alphas spell out her daughter's name. Jen left the canvas its natural color allowing her to use any color embellishments that she wanted. Rose lace is added on the strap for an extra touch of CUTE!

Supplies: Small Camera Bag 920562, E line flowers, Butterflies 537074, Gem Sticker Alphabet 536510, Devines 536947, lace 537241

Our new canvas Build-A-Books are a wonderful playground filled with possibilities! Just look at that canvas waiting to be colored! Anam Stubbington used masks and color spray to color her cover a gorgeous yellow. The canvas takes any art medium beautifully.

Each BAB comes with 4 canvas pages and two clear acrylic pages in four lovely color assortments!

Supplies: canvas BAB 537104, Tea Roses 537456, brown felt letters 537395, cream alphas 531188, lace, sultan centers 535094, Glimmer Mist

Anam took a single BAB page and used it to create this piece of art! Anam layered lots of coloring agents, masks, embossing powders and inks to create this gorgeous piece. A SIIP swirl, large Cancan flower and a variety of other new flowers complete the look Anam was going for.

Supplies: BAB page: 537111, Cancan flower 539443, Fairytale Rose 538637, Winter Rose 537517, Lilliput Rose 537678, pink SIIP swirl 530648, crystal alphas 536503

Joei Lau used our canvas BAB to create this stunning book about her son. She started with the grey/black set and added masks, sprays and rub-ons for subtle patterns and sparkle.

This color combination would be great for graduation and wedding books as well.

Joei slipped some clear packaging in from Prima as page inserts too. FAB idea and just one part of our "Green Concepts" program.

We love how masculine Joei kept the whole album!

Supplies: grey BAB 537098, lettering 531188, packaging 537838, shabby chic papers 841157, 841119

This baby album by Sharon Laakkonen leaves the canvas in it's natural state allowing LOTS of color-filled accents to be used. Sharon chose pink and green embellies to pop off the natural canvas color. Use a fabric adhesive (like Fabri-Tac) to adhere papers, flowers and lace to the canvas for a fabulous hold that stays flexible.

Supplies: BAB 537111, Cancan flower 539436, SIIP swirl 535933, Chipboard Shape 536725, Calcutta Leaves 539139, Raspberry Tea paper 841263, Flights of Fancy paper 841508, crystal alpha 536534, Debutante Bouquet 539627, Symphony flowers 537852, Madrigal flowers 540135, Flights of Fancy paper 841508, 841485

See how much fun you can have with our canvas? We will have EVEN more samples to show you soon!
