Do you enjoy creating unique home decor pieces? If so, I have a great idea for you! Judy here sharing a sweet and sparkly altered fairy frame project created with beautiful cardstock from CutCardStock. This frame is filled with soft pink layers, shimmer and dimension. It’s the perfect decor piece for a bedroom, craft room or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
DCS Textured Pearl Green Curry
For this project, I started with a simple wooden frame and a fairy digital stamp that I colored a while ago.
Trace and trim a piece of Lessebo Blossom Pink cardstock to cover the entire frame base. The smooth finish creates the perfect backdrop for all the layered elements.
To add elegance, stencil a decorative flourish design across the top using a blush metallic ink for a subtle, tone-on-tone look.
You can see a couple of “boo boo’s” there on the right side, but they’ll be covered up later!
I also lightly inked the edges of the cardstock, all the way around.
Add the smallest frame over the opening first.
The glitter frame goes on next.
Center and adhere the last frame over the other two.
Print the sentiment onto Basis Soft Pink.
Trim to fit the frame opening and insert on the backside. Position slightly to the left.
Keeping the center simple allows the surrounding embellishments to truly shine.
The fairy image is colored in soft pink tones to coordinate with the cardstock palette. I fussy cut the image and popped it up with foam adhesive for added depth. Her delicate wings and flower crown bring a whimsical, storybook feel to the project.
On the opposite side, add a cluster of layered paper flowers using Lessebo Blossom Pink. The sturdy weight of CutCardStock makes it ideal for shaping petals and building dimensional blooms. Ink the petal with blush metallic ink. For the flower centers, die cut with Gold Bright Foil and add gems. Die cut the leaves with DCS Textured Pearl Green Curry for contrast and balance.
This altered frame is a wonderful way to turn cardstock into home décor. It’s proof that paper crafting isn’t just for cards! You can create meaningful keepsakes and decorative pieces with just a few quality supplies.
I hope this project inspires you to look at your cardstock stash in a new way and try altering a frame of your own.

Looking for a great way to turn your paper crafting supplies into a dimensional decoration that would be perfect for a gift, party décor, or a cheerful seasonal display? Today I’m sharing a fun and festive St. Patrick’s Day rosette bouquet featuring several products from Pajama Crafter Stamps!
Form each rosette by cutting two 12 inch strips of paper. I used a plaid from my stash. The strips for 2 of the rosettes are 1 3/4 inches wide. Strips for the larger rosette are 2 inches wide.
Score each strip at 1/2 inch and fold accordion style.
Adhere the strips together end to end to form a circle.
Flatten the circle and gather to the center. Add a punched or die cut circle to the center of both sides to hold together. Adhere to a slightly larger circle die cut.
Layer each rosette with die cuts to create depth and interest. I used the Scalloped Circle Die and Circle Peek-A-Boo Die to frame the centers of the rosettes. The delicate details from the dies add a decorative touch. I also die cut papers from the Emerald Isle 6×6 Paper Pad to use.
The center rosette features the adorable leprechaun from the You’re My Pot of Gold Stamps, colored and layered onto a circle background. I also added a die cut from the Banner Die Set to create a little platform for the image.
The rosette on the left features a sentiment that reads “You’re My Pot of Gold.”
On the right, the rosette includes shamrocks.
Both the shamrocks and sentiment are from the You’re My Pot of Gold Stamps. Layering the dies and patterned papers from the Emerald Isle 6×6 Paper Pad helps the rosettes stand out.
Once the rosettes were complete, I attached them to wooden sticks and arranged them into a small floral arrangement with cream flowers and greenery. The bouquet is finished with soft tulle and green ribbon to tie everything together for a festive display.
This project is a fun way to stretch your supplies beyond cards and create something decorative for the season!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this project inspires you to create some lucky St. Patrick’s Day crafts with your Pajama Crafter Stamps supplies.
Happy crafting!
If you love coffee as much as I do, why not celebrate it in your home décor? Today I’m sharing this cozy Coffee Bar Wreath I created for Clear Scraps. It’s the perfect accent for a kitchen nook, coffee station, or gift for your favorite coffee lover!
This project combines wood tones, layered embellishments, and a touch of rustic charm for a warm and inviting look.
Supplies Used
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Paint the Wood Circles
Start by painting 6 of the wood circles in a rich brown tone. I applied a thin coat of paint to give more of a stained look. This adds depth and gives that rustic coffee house feel.
Let dry completely.
2. Cover the Decorative Circles
For the coffee-themed circle accents:
3. Assemble the Wreath
Lay out the wood circles onto a wreath form created with cardboard before gluing. My wreath form measures 10 inches in diameter and is about 1 1/4 inches wide.
Once you’re happy with placement:
4. Add the Coffee Elements
Paint the chipboard pieces with acrylic paint. Let dry.
Adhere the coffee-themed chipboard embellishments (coffee cup, beans, creamer, coffee bar sentiment) to the patterned circles.
5. Create the Statement Bow
This bow is such a focal point!
Add a creamer embellishment to the center of the bow for a charming finishing touch.
I absolutely love how this wreath turned out — warm, welcoming, and full of personality! It makes my coffee corner feel extra cozy every morning.
