Carta Bella ~ At Home 🏠 #1

Hi all, it’s Anna with you today. I’m sharing a piece of home decor today using the At Home collection by Carta Bella. 

You can find the collection in the shop here. 

I used an 8x8 box photo frame, keeping the cardboard insert. I then backed the centre with ‘wonderfully beautiful’ and added a strip of ‘Good Morning Moths’ at the top and bottom using a boarder punch. 

I set my Silhouette Cameo to work to cut out a house and the word ‘home’. I cut the house shape twice, first with  the reverse side of ‘3x4 journaling cards’ and a second time with the reverse of ‘Beautiful Chaos Flowers’.

I used 3D foam pads to adhere the house to the centre of the frame and then glued the outer shape down around it, adding in the window inserts and the word ‘welcome’ from the chipboard. 

I fussy cut some florals from ‘Beautiful Chaos Flowers’ and ‘Wonderfully Beautiful’ and then adhered them to the top left and bottom right side of the house. I added some enamel dots to the centres too. 

You can find enamel dots here. 

I then chose a few pieces of chipboard from the ‘Chipboard Phrases’ to use to add some extra detail to the frame. 

I will place this frame on a shelf in our new home and add on the address. 

Thank you so much for looking, I hope this inspires you to do something different with your scrapbooking supplies. 

See you later in the month for another project using this collection.

So Happy Together .......A boxed frame with Simple Stories.

Hi There, it's Anita here with my last post for January ( Crikey where HAS that month gone??)

 Before Christmas I bought a few sheets of one of the recent Simple Stories collections, Love and Adore....they are really vibrant and rather funky!

I have got some of the sheets put by for creating a class I have got in mind, but I wanted to make an extra Christmas present for my Daughter and her Fiance and this Collection was perfect for it.

I bought an 8 x 8 box frame and some Scrabble letter tiles and just picked out a few crystal embellishments from my stash to use.

I covered the back of the frame using a sheet of  Hello Beautiful.
The black background is covered with a mass of teeny tiny brightly coloured hearts and I felt this worked perfectly to combine with the letter tiles.

I started off by picking out all the letter tiles I needed to complete the words I wanted to create and set upon linking them all together. When I had them how I want them I them transferred them to the frame and stuck them all down.

I also had a sheet of 3 x 4 Journalling Card Elements, there are many different little panels and bits that can be cut up, so I picked the panel I liked which I stuck in the top left hand side of the frame and also cut a few teeny hearts, which I raised on foam pads and added under the tiles.

I then just popped on a few crystals in random places to finish it off.
I was delighted on Christmas Day when they opened it and said how much they liked it!

Well that's it from me for January.....I look forward to seeing you all in Feb!

Warmest Wishes
Anita xx
