Words of Wisdom – keep them together in a mini book and canvas envelope

We all have our favourite sayings and words of wisdom that we keep referring back to or try living by. They can be passed on to us by family members, friends; we might have got them from a song, movie or in the street overhearing someone’s conversation… All the ‘life words’ but what do we do with them? How…

Wings on Wednesday – My Guardian Angel

Does it ever happen to you that you dream out your project, literally? It did to me, for the first time. Call me crazy but I woke up in the morning and had to make it happen. When I looked at the finished piece, ‘Guardian Angel’ was the only thing that came to mind… But let’s…

What better way to keep them alive than by scrapbooking; and what better way to scrapbook than with Canvas Corp Brands…

Turn Plain Card Box Into A Beautiful Jewellery Gift Box

When buying (or making) gifts for other, we tend to focus more on the gift itself than on the way it is presented to its recipient. But did you think about the fact that the wrapping is the first thing the person sees? Not the gift! So why not put some more effort into it and…

Creating a Brick Wall as background to Wine Bar Canvas and Matching Card

Naturally Aged Kits are a perfect way of making one thing look like something else; there are plenty of finishes available: from rusty metal, through marble to wood. The kits work on paper just as well as they do on wood, ceramic or stone so the options are aplenty as to what can be achieved with just…

The twist is… she used only 7gypsies products for her project! Yes,…

Turn Your Food Bag into a Wedding Gift Bag

Recycling is one of the basis of the ‘gypsy crafting’ – it’s fun and it challenges your imagination. From big projects (up-cycled furniture) to small ones (re-purposed playing cards), recycled art is just as rewarding as creating something from scratch. With a little help from Tattered Angels paints, 7gypsies elements and Canvas Corp fabrics and…

From Scraps to … ATCs – recycle what you have

Boxes full of scraps, drawers full of stamps, shelves filled up with paints and media… Sounds familiar? We are all guilty of that! But what if we took all of these and put them to a good use? Yes, yes, we know… any kind of craft is ‘good use’! So let’s make some little treasures also known…

This blog is a compilation of inspiration from the Canvas Corp Brands family including Canvas Corp, Tattered Angels and 7Gypsies.
