DIY Home Decor Project

Hi, Crafty friends!!

Elisa here from Italy!

Today I want to share with you my new project: A "Home Sweet home" decor. But, what is behind it?? A large straw trivet!! So this is an altered item, of course. And Boulevard collection was the best to create a floral decor for my home!!!

This is the original Straw Trivet:

A bit of glitter gold paste on the external circles of straw and really a lor of red, white and yellow roses!!!

As color background for the inner part, this time I chose green.

And then I layered some wood effect paper as base for the sentiment.

For the sentiment I used my Silhouette with We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill!!! The effect is great!

I used also other embellishment by Boulevard collection: chipboard stickers and normal stickers too!! And I also die cut that wonderful ornament with the dark yellow cardstock.

I love the roses chipboard stickers in this collection: some have a wonderful gold foil effect on the edge. Some have a normal border. And the combo is perfect!!

The wood effect is really delicate... As the whole project !!

So this was only a Straw Trivet... A bit of creativity, a wonderful BoBunny paper collection, and now I have a great home decor!!

BoBunny Supplies:

12x12" Boulevard Pad

Boulevard Chipboard Stickers

Hope you enjoy it!

Till next time!

Valentine's Day Decor: Intricate Frame with Elisa

Hello BoBunny friends!!!

Here is Elisa from Italy!! Today is the 10th of February... Four days until Valentine's Day!!

So I realize a Valentine Decor for you, using the awesome "Sweet Clementine" collection!

I love altered frame...And this one is full of love! I can'r wait to add a new picture inside it!!

So let me show you some details!!!

In this picture you can se how much I like fussy cutting!!! When I saw for the first time the "Delight"12x12 cardstock I immediately thought that I had to piece that heart!!! I couldn't resist!!

I covered the original frame with the black and white side of "Memories" cardstock. I also used cotton cloth on the background, behind the picture place. My goal was to cause you to think about lace when you see every detail.

Butterflies, flowers, and pink mirrored chipboard hearts: what is better than that on a romantic project??

Title composed with Sweet Clementine Thickers:

Combo stickers elements: tabs, ticket and butterflies banner!!! And some Pearlescent Butterscotch dot's, here and there.

Another lovely element of this paper collection are the bird cages: I chose to fussy cut a black one in the "Lavish" cardstock.

Creative Cards: 12 Month Card Series

Hi Crafty Friends!!

Here is Elisa from Italy! Today I want to share with you my new project, realized with the wonderful Banner Year collection!! It's time for some Creative Cards!!!

All the papers in this collection are so beutiful, so I was not able to decide: Could I use June? Or May? Or December?
Well, I took the best decision!!! Why not realize a 12 months card series?? Have a look at them all together:

Well... Now let me describe you how I realize them!! I used supplies by the Banner Year Collection (12x12 papers, 6x6 pad, Noteworthy, Adhesive Layered Chipboard,Combo Stickers and Thickers). Same recipe for all the cards:
Card base realized with 6x6 paper (cut at 4" x 5 1/5");
main embellishments: I used the "not calendar elements" cut by the 12 x 12 papers (so le long stripe on the top and some of the cards on the right side of the paper... look at the picture below): I really had much fun with a lot of fussy cutting!!

Little embellishments: Noteworthy, Adhesive Layered Chipboard,Combo Stickers and Thickers, try to use the right theme for every month.

(Card size 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" realized with Bazzill Kraft)

Let me now show you all the cards:

I hope you enjoy them!! And let me know which one is your favorite!!!

Winter Getaway: Layout with Elisa

Hello everyone, crafty friends!!

Here is Elisa from Italy! Today I'm here for sharing with you my first project for BoBunny!! What an excited moment for me!
So, let me introduce you the Layout "Sweet Winter": I used the wonderful collection Winter Getaway. When I saw for the first time this paper collection I immediately thought about how much wonderful the colors are. These colors spoke to me about warm sweaters, cabins in the wood, hot chocolate in a giant mug and footprints on the snow.

The background of the LO is the Homestead Cardstock 12"x12": I blended some white gesso with a gauze behind the right part of the cardstock, for highlighting le place where I decided to put my picture (blend gesso with a piece of gauze is great to achieve a gentle textured effect).

I cut the other elements of the LO from Branches and Retreat Cardstocks 12"x12" (I used them to realize the picture frame, the bend on the right side of the LO and the ornament with banner on the left side).

For the title I used the Chipboard Alphabet Stickers... The Font is really nice, and the little snowflakes give them a very icy effect!!!

I gave movement to the picture frame, ripping the edges and pasting additional flowers which end outside the original square. I also chose some wonderful brads by the collection as embellishment.

I added to the frame trees other two pines by the Noteworthy pack, using some foam adhesive (Sticky Thumb):

You can find these little cabins in the Noteworthy pack too:

I really love this banner and the sentiment on it...
For the background I used the 6"x6" cardstock with multiple patterned stripes on it: I cut all those thin stripes with different lenghts and pasted them behind the little double banner with deers (I chose it, because it has the same pattern of the bigger band on the right side of the LO, but it's smaller).

As embellishmets I used some other brads and little flowers by Noteworthy:

I hope you enjoy this project!!  Till next time!!
