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.

Project Details
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.
- Rich, vibrant colors
- Heavyweight options perfect for dimensional projects
- Smooth finishes ideal for stamping and layering
- Beautiful glitter cardstock that doesn’t shed
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.
