One of our favorite designers JAMIE HARPER loves BELLA BLVD Look what she has created with some of the new collections coming soon to your favorite store
I love using products in a non seasonal way.
I love putting a twist on papers, and using them on as many different layouts as possible.
I save everything, even if I have a scrap that is only 1x4 I will keep it and use it for something else or for a card.
Here is a way to not only use up your scraps,
but also to use Bella's Christmas papers in a new way.
Because the layout has such minimal product you are albe to use bits and pieces.
With lovingly-knit sweaters, warm-baked gingerbread, snowflake kisses on pink cheeks, and traditions that stretch back before days you remember, you’ve got a lift ticket to ride into the holiday season… Nordic style! Wrap yourself up in all the snowy whites, icicle blues, holiday greens and merry reds and revel in warm fuzzy holiday memories

8 Creative Tips for Creating on Canvas from Canvas Corp
The great thing about being creative on canvas is that there is no painting required to create works of art on canvas . Plus there is a new blank in town – natural canvas. Create works of art that are environmentally smart! Artists prefer canvas with gesso, the white substance that acts as a base for their artwork, but crafters prefer no gesso which allows virtually everything to be applied to the canvas including:
• Canvas loves ink and rubber stamps – the look is amazing as if the fabric was printed upon
• Shimmer Mist including that of Tattered Angels and Creative Imaginations are perfect for adding color, spraying over stencils or over a mask . Lay die cuts out and spray over them and then remove, leaving great shapes onto the canvas
• Cover children’s hands with acrylic paint and place on canvas to capture the perfect handprint – make a collection
• Rub-ons are abundant in the craft market and there are so many great designs, they look amazing on canvas and blend right into the fabric. We have tried many different varieties and they all work great.
• We love gluing big flowers onto canvas for a quick trendy look for little girls rooms or your office. Add ribbon to finish the look
• Canvas takes on so many different looks depending on how you treat the fabric – mists give it a soft look, distressing mediums give it a great antique look and paint can make it very modern
• You can write directly onto the canvas with any permanent marker
• Make creative canvases with photos – try cutting them apart and piecing them back together in squares, circles or puzzle
