Spring Watering Can Card

I don’t make as many handmade cards as I used to but when I sit down and actually make one, I really do enjoy it. I just love creating things out of pretty paper, adding layers then adding pretty embellishments. The Spring Fling collection is totally full of all that too!

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a watering can flower card cut file using off-white paper and Spring Fling patterned papers.

I mentioned before how I love adding pretty embellishments on to my cards, well the Spring Fling collection contains coordinating Heidi Swapp Minc Labels! I foiled the flowers with gold foil. So pretty!

DIY Master Bedroom Decor

1 Comment

Hello friends! Amy here today from The Happy Scraps, and I’m so excited to be sharing our DIY Master Bedroom Decor with you today. We recently moved, and we have a lot more space do decorate now. Where we lived previously, we didn’t really have a color them or anything for our master bedroom. Since moving, I’ve decided that I want to use the colors gray, white, orange, and navy in our master bedroom. When I saw that the Jen Hadfield Everyday Collection had these colors, I knew I had to do something with them for our bedroom!

I wanted to make something to go above our bed, on the wall. I decided I’d cut out some wood shapes to apply paper to.

Once I had the wood cut out, I traced my shapes onto the back of the paper I wanted to use.

Then I cut out the paper.

I painted the edges of my wood white. I like to do this after I trace the paper, so I don’t end up with a pencil line showing on my paint.

Using wood glue, I spread some onto my wood. I spread it out with a sponge brush, then applied my paper.

I smoothed out the paper well, making sure it was stuck to the wood really well.

Once I had all my wood letters and shapes finished, I decided I also wanted to add a banner to hang above the wood on the wall. I pulled out my banner punch board and had it put together in no time.

After I punched the holes in the top, I used baker’s twine to string the little triangles together.

Then I hung them on the wall. I’m so giddy over how it all came together and turned out!

What kind of decor do you have in your master bedroom?

Jump Layout and Video

Hi, Renee here to share a playful Jump layout using the Jen Hadfield Everyday collection. The colors in this collection went so well with the colors in my photo. In between these spring days filled with rain and snow flurries (what?!), the girls have been able to go outside in the backyard to enjoy the beautiful weather and play on their trampoline.

For this Jump layout, I used a photo that I have always wanted to scrap but never got around to it until now. I love this photo of Payton! She is quite the jumper. Not at all surprising. Ha! This photo measures 5″ x 7″ plus a border. I really LOVE the space between her and the trampoline, because it makes a perfect spot for my title. I used the Large Gold Alpha Stickers and made my “JUMP” word jump right along with her.
