A Charmed Life Home Decor

Hey, y'all! Shellye here to share with you today :) I had so much fun crafting these projects...and believe it or not, they were really quick and easy to put together.

First up I have just the sweetest little hanger using "A Charmed Life" and a few goods from my stash:

I started with a heavyweight chipboard semi circle that I covered with Happy Times Paper. Next, I matted the cute Insta Square with a swatch of the Happy Times (Side B) Paper and then attached it to the center of the semi-circle with foam adhesive. I embellished the top of the Insta Square with one of the small chipboard flowers and a yellow brad for the center.

To the bottom, I added some felt flowers from my stash and die-cut a few leaves from the Happy.Go.Lucky Paper. Using some fabric glue, I inserted the two navy brads into the middle of the yellow felt flowers. A couple of punched holes were made and some pretty turquoise ribbon strung through for hanging.

Next is an easy, easy, EASY card :)

I think we could classify this as a "5-minute-or less" card! I cut the base paper 1/2" smaller than the card, which gives a nice border of the card peeking through. The heart-motif Insta Square was added with foam adhesive and then embellished with one of the Bits & Pieces' tags and a brad.

And lastly, a cool frame that I collaged into a fun piece of home decor!

I started by removing the glass from the frame and reserving just the back piece. To it, I adhere a thin sheet of corkboard (you can find sheets or rolls at your local craft store).

I took a couple of the [email protected]! cards and trimmed them down so that they would create an even grid of four. For extra interest, I machine stitched around the edge of each card before attaching to the corkboard.

Each rectangle was adorned with different pieces from all around the "A Charmed Life" Collection! Bits & Pieces, Chipboard shapes, brads and stickers were added.

In finishing, I glued on a whimsical bow from some May Arts ribbon. If you're interested in creating a perpetual collage, use push pins or removable adhesive so that the cards can be changed out with each season!
