Home Sweet Home


Hi All! We're back to take a look at the smallest of the frames in this home decor grouping. It was also the simplest to put together.


The sentiment inside this frame is a sticker from the All Together complements pack by Close To My Heart. Initially, I thought I would layer the sticker directly onto pattern paper and the pop it up in the center of the frame, but it just didn't look right. So I cut the sticker out of the pattern paper (rather than trying to remove it) and popped it up on a frame of Sea Glass glitter paper with foam tape. I then used three or four layers of foam tape to pop the Sea Glass paper off the back of the frame. 

The embellishment is made with a collection of things from the All Together compliments pack, along with Sea Glass glitter paper and jute from the Rustic Home Ribbon pack. The "Making Memories" sentiment is copper foil on vellum. (Love that!)

Here's a couple of close-ups:


The house is a sticker that I backed with paper and then popped up with foam tape.


And that's it! I hope you enjoyed these frames. Here's a look at the grouping once again:


Have a fantastically creative day!

A Little Weekend Mojo: Thanks

Hi all! Happy Friday! Just wanted to share a little card I made that was inspired by this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.

So here's the sketch:

And here's my take on it:


For this 4-Bar note card, I began with a layer of Kraft cardstock that I attached directly to the card base. I then used patterned papers from Close To My Heart's new Memo Fundamentals collection to build the card front. I added a strip of this fun copper-foiled vellum from the new Rustic Home Fundamentals (also by Close To My Heart) along with a wood grained embossed oval of Kraft cardstock to the memo paper using my mini stapler. I then added a scrap from the Memo Fundamentals papers to the oval with regular adhesive. I layered a strip of Sea Glass Glitter paper and a bit of lace from the Rustic Home ribbon pack and stapled it to the card front. I added a button from my 28 Lilac Lane Attic Findings Embellishment Kit with a bit of jute from the Rustic Home ribbon pack to cover the staple. I cut the "thanks" from black card stock using Close To My Heart's new "Thanks" Thin Cut die and added it to the front with liquid mat adhesive. I then glued the front of the card to the Kraft cardstock layer on the card base. I finished everything off with sequins from 28 Lilac Lane's Pastels Sequin Tin and some liquid glass to make the thanks shine.

Here are a couple of close ups



I hope you enjoyed this bit of Mojo! Stay tuned for the Rose Blossom Blog Hop coming up on Monday. We'll be featuring the new Rustic Home and Uptown Fundamentals collections. You won't want to miss it!
