Paper Succulent and Flower Frame

Don't have a green thumb?
No problem!

DCWV has you covered with their new DIY Project Stacks! I used both Paper Plants and Rolled Flowers Stacks for my Succulent and Flower Frame Decor.

They make it so easy, by providing you templates in the back of the stack. All you do is punch those out, trace on the paper that you choose, cut, and put together!

I cut a few butterflies and bird out of the darling Birds & Butterflies Stack and added them to my frame also.

What do you think? Any fun projects you are going to make with these amazing DCWV Stacks?

Fall Frame

Have you heard about the DCWV large format stacks?

They come in sizes larger then the standard 12x12, and they are perfect for your home decor, party decor or any other larger project you create. These larger stacks come in a variety of prints, colors and even page material.

Fall is almost here, and it's the perfect time to start crafting new home decor.

I used the DCWV 16" x 20" Premium Canvas Stack for this Fall Frame.

 I grabbed some leaves from the tree, covered them with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink and stamped them onto the canvas. I also used some paint sprays to give it more detail. 

This beautiful frame is made from a dirty and worn old pallet. I was hoping for a more rugged look, but once I got the stain on it, it's beauty just came out!

The frame finished at 20" x 16.5".

I cut a few small branches from the tree to make the word FALL. I threw on some burlap faux leaves and a couple pine cones, and it was complete!

Let's Get Lost Frame

Let's Get Lost Frame

I was spoiled this month with a bunch of amazing, adorable and creative new DCWV products. 

One of their new products is the Project Paper. This stuff is great! It comes rolled up like wrapping paper, but is thick and sturdy enough to use on home decor projects, or anything else you can think up!

For my Let's Get Lost Frame, I used the DCWV World Map Project Paper.

I made a simple, square frame and painted it black.

I had recently took a Lettering Class here in my hometown, and wanted to add a unique touch to this project. On a piece of vellum I hand-lettered Let's Get Lost.

I attached the vellum to the Map with some pins in each corner.

*if you live in Southern California and want to attend a Lettering Class, please contact Letter Sparrow.

I hope you enjoyed this, and are inspired to create something amazing!

DCWV DIY Family Frame

I love taking an old item and re-purposing it.

I had this nice frame out on my nightstand, but basically it was just collecting dust. My sister's birthday is coming up and I thought making her a custom frame would be a perfect gift.

First, take the frame apart. Grab a spray paint color you love.

Spray both sides, and of course let it dry. 

I pulled this page from one of the brand new DCWV Mini Album. I love how you can mix and match a bunch of DCWV products that just work perfectly together.

So, with this page, I played with some Tim Holtz Distress Inks and water.

While that dried, I grabbed a fun wood shape and smudged some Milled Lavender Distress Ink. Set aside to dry.

I took the mat out of the frame and covered with with this great DCWV Premium Paper Grey Dot Velum.

Once both sides of the frame were dry, I took this beautiful Grey DCWV Premium Paper cut out sheet and ModPodge'd it to the frame.

Yes, very time consuming, but worth it. Once I had it all secured and cut off the excess, I took a Clear Coat Spray and sprayed over the frame.

While that dried, I grabbed the wood piece. I added this Family word, a butterfly and of course - a Blue Moon Bead Flower Bead!

Now put the frame together.

 Now, the frame is finished and turned out amazing!
