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.

DIY Wall Art - With Video

 

 

Hello, Lisa here. I have had so much fun this week. I've been really excited about sharing this with you. It all came about when we went to Ikea. We found a photo shelf which had me thinking about some wall art for our bedroom.

 

I do have a video here of me making these projects.

 

I was sent these Kaisercraft papers here to play with along with a sheet of the 12x12 coordinating stickers.  

 

 

I love the 12x12 frames from Wilko and they come with a mount that you can use or remove. I decided to use it here for a cleaner look. I printed off 2 photos in black & white. I loved the quote on the 12x12 paper 'Start each day with a grateful heart'. So perfect for the bedroom I thought.

 

The bottom strip overlapping the photos is from the 12x12 sticker set and I added a sticker strip across the top.

 

 

 

This here was actually a frame from Poundland with an ugly picture inside with a bathroom quote. I covered it with some of the papers and added a couple more of the sticker strips.  

  

 

 

To add a little more colour I took a piece of watercolour paper and my paints (you will see me creating these in my video). I cut a heart from the leftover paper and stuck in the middle of the frame. The frame was just 85p from Ikea.

 

 

Here is the finished shelf.

 

 

 

 

 

I really hope you've enjoyed seeing these fun pieces. I'm so happy with how they look in my room. They've really brightened up a plain wall.

 

I hope you enjoy the video too.

 

Have a great week.
