Canvas and Card Set

Here in Ohio, Mother Nature seems to have forgotten that it is Spring! We've had snow (and lots of it) and so I can only hope that the weather changes soon. To keep my spirits up, I'm dreaming of my garden and flowers and was truly inspired by Deena's Printable Deposit Seed Co. Cocoa/Treat Envelope.

The colors are so pretty, and if this doesn't get me in the mood for Spring, I don't know what will. The file comes with the packet on an 8.5 x 11 page and a page of instructions. I decided to use the images to create a mixed media canvas and matching card.

I started with a 5 x 7 canvas panel and painted it with a soft yellow acrylic paint. When that dried I glue a piece yellow burlap to canvas and then added the Deposit Seed Co. image. I think the blue and violet colors contrast so well with the yellow. I stamped "You make me smile" on ivory cardstock and adhered that along with two wooden flower embellishments.

For the card, I used similar materials so that it could be presented with the canvas as a coordinated set. The ivory dragonfly brad is so sweet and I couldn't resist using it here!

Mother's Day will be here soon, and this would make a great gift set. It would also make a special gift for a garden lover. You could easily print off another image and add your seed packet to the set, too!

Thanksgiving - Cornucopia Tea Bag Envelope

Hello and Happy Monday everyone!

Today I'm featuring a delightful hostess gift that you can make and take to your Thanksgiving or holiday season party. I'm using Deena's Printable Tea Bag Envelope to make a card and a tea bag envelope.

The downloadable comes with instructions and two tea bags on one page.

I cut out the two tea bags and used one for the tea bag and the other for the card.

The tea bag is so simple. Just cut it out and score with your bone folder. Once that's done you just need to fold and glue!

I cut out the other cornucopia image and backed it with orange paper. I adhered that to an ivory panel and adorned it with shimmery orange trim and a purple paper flower. The colors really pop against that ivory background. I then attached the panel to a green card.

Here's what the finished project looks like:

The colors are so festive! This would make a thoughtful hostess gift or a lovely greeting for a family member or friend. It would also be a nice addition to a gift basket!

Thanks for stopping by and see you next time.
