Crate Paper

Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a a moodboard that I created with the magnificent collection CAROUSEL by Maggie Holmes. This DIY project will decorate my workshop. This collection includes everything I love: pink, mint, a party theme, gold and pretty garlands.

When I saw this magnetized painting in store, I immediately imagined it decorated with a delicious collection of Crate Paper. I must say that these novelties fall perfectly and will be ideal in my office.

I started the moodboard by placing 2 6x8 papers at the top. The nice paper with the merry-go-round is perfect and I am very glad to find it in decoration on my desk. I added two labels cut in the paper "carnival" by sticking them on the plexi that covers the 2 frames 6x8. In the top left I chose to put the yellow and pink garland in chipboard.

Then I printed 2 small pictures that I wanted to place in small frames. I pasted the set on paper so the frames no longer stick and I added tapes of magnetic tape for this painting which is magnetic.

I added the big wheel frame and the beautiful camera. These magnets are pretty, original and will serve to hold pieces of pretty papers.

Below each magnet, I slipped printed papers and strips of tickets. To embellish the painting, I added a cloth knot and XO clips from the HEART DAY collection.

Thank you for your visit here. See you soon!

Hello again! My succulent craze started 2 months ago and I just can't stop buying these pretties. Succulents are really tricky and it doesn't really need a lot of care. A lot of fun and hardwork went into building it. Yup, they are that finicky. Haha! So, today I would like to share with you a project that was inspired by my succulent pallet. I just adore this pallet.

I decided to go with a DIY project. I was scouting for a wooden product that I can turned it into a shadow frame and I finally found one in the dollar store. And yes, I'm making paper succulents & cactus! I've always wanted to try making them and so happy that I could finally create them. 

Firstly, I covered the wordings on the wooden tray with a patterned paper. Next, I drew some succulent, cactus and pot shapes onto the patterned paper. And cut them out. You can always practice drawing them on a piece of practice paper to get the right curves. Hey, practice makes perfect right? Once the cutting is done, adhere them together. Easy peasy!

Tada... here's the completed shadow frame. I felt just with the paper succulents and cactus, they looked a little empty. So I scouted through all the collections to find add ons. I was thrilled to add on the cute air balloon, the tassel banner and a couple of chipboard succulent stickers. Just perfect together! 

Adding those gold sequin stars sure added cuteness to the paper succulents and cactus!

I love how different kind of stickers can give so much textures to this project!

Pretty sure these paper plants would be very hard to kill. Haha. Thank you so much for coming by! Happy Summer!
