Multi Medium Canvas

I did this canvas for a class a while back but forgot to put it on the blog. This is a 6X6 canvas with a few fun materials thrown together to create a funky canvas.

Wine Cork Tree

Repurpose all those wine corks that you have laying around....or a great excuse to open that bottle.

I love Crystal Light lemonade....and my hubby likes the decaf tea.....and my son likes the Appletini. So, we drink a LOT of Crystal Light. The packaging is wonderful for many things....like home made caramels and other candies.

Repurposed Shopping Bag

There are all kinds of pretty shopping bags out there. Bath & Body Works always has a pretty bag that is easy to redo. The Christmas bags this year have a pretty green package on the front with the logo in the middle. I just cut out a square of striped paper and another pattern to cover up the words so I can use it for a gift. Tie on a little raffia or a pretty satin ribbon with a handmade tag and you're all set.

Tim Holtz Snowflake Rosette dies

My project using the Snowflake Rosette dies...yes DIES...there are two. Just like the original rosette, there are two dies, one with a single larger size cut and the other with a medium and small size. I bought the larger version first to give it a test drive and then had to have the other one so I could have a complete set!!

Materials:
Paper: Lily Bee "Jingle": Frost
Kaiser Craft "Just Believe Collection": Remember
ECHO PARK "For the Record 2": Chevrons
American Crafts "5th & Frolic": 6th & Main
Crate Paper "Pretty Party": Papercloth
Crate Paper "Pretty Party": Spool
My Mind's Eye "Nostalgia": Vintage
Sizzix Alterations Dies: Snowflake Rosette and Mini Snowflake Rosette
ModgePodge
Tim Holtz "Distress Stickles Dry Glitter Clear Rock Candy" by Ranger

I ended up using:
7 full sheets of patterned paper (and a few stray pieces I had laying around)
16 yards of fishing line
3/4 of a jar of the Stickles dry glitter
1/2 cup of Modge Podge
and about 4 hours of cutting, folding, glueing, sprinkling and tying
to make 63 glitter covered snowflake ornaments for my 3 foot tree.

These are the papers I used.....a nice mix of aqua blue shades that had reverse sides that were complimentary to the front pattern. Sometimes the patterns they put on both sides don't quite fit together!
