DIY Nursery Decor

Hello Friends ,

I am Sharada Dilip here with an awesome inspiration for you all, using Chalk Paints

A DIY Nursery Decor

.A homemade DIY nursery decor project makes a terrific baby shower or 1st birthday present too.

Have you used Itsy Bitsy’s newly launched Little Birdie range of chalk paints??

These chalk paints are truly versatile, have great coverage and are high in quality. That’s not all; these are permanent, water proof, great for indoor as well as outdoor application. Opacity of these paints is very high and the best part is they are available at a great price!!!!

All you need are these paints, brushes and an alterable frame and buttons for decoration I began with a white washed alterable frame.

After using all the 3 shades on the frame and drying them, I decorated it with Jumbo, from the Jumbo wishes stamps set. I coloured jumbo with water color.😃

He's too cute to resist isn't it ??

Further, I added Boy theme buttons , these buttons double up the cuteness quotient of your projects.

I totally enjoyed playing along with colours.

I added up a matching card to go with theme , I plan to gift this for a Birthday :)

The Jumbo is too cute to resist and yes I love making cute stuff!!

Hope to have inspired you to transform ordinary things into pretty stuff with just few craft supplies in hand :)

Baby Boy Scrapbook Layout - WRMK Sew Ribbon

Good Morning!!!

Gopi Shah here and I'm back with a new project using 'We R Memory Keepers - Sew Ribbon'. A Baby theme scrapbook layout is incomplete without Ribbons. Hence today's project is loaded with ribbons. The layout is for a baby boy, so colours like blue, brown, green & orange are used.

Lets get started with this simple tutorial...

I started with a 12x12 inches cardstock. Using the Sew Ribbon tool, slots were punched in the lower part of the sheet (4 1/2 inches from bottom). For an indepth intro and usage instructions of Sew Ribbon, you can check my previous Itsy Bitsy tutorial here.

I continued doing this for the entire 12inches width of the cardstock. For every new line the tool was rotated.

Once the slots were ready, I started weaving the ribbons. A variety of ribbons were used: Printed & plain, Satin & Grosgrain, Thick & thin. The ends of the ribbons were secured to the cardstock using Silicon Liquid Glue.

For the centre part of the layout I have used a coordinating pattern paper - Rich Strips Glitz. The pattern paper is cut to size 5 x 12 inches and highlighted by adding 1/8 inches orange paper edge at the top & bottom. The special Scrapbooking adhesive was used to stick these edges.

Photo Mats: 4 squares of 3x3 inches were used as photo mats. I always use a thick cardstock as backing to the photos. This makes it sturdy. Here the black squares are used for backing which will not be visible at all. All the squares were attached to a waste corrugated packing sheet. This will also help to give a slight dimension to the photos. To highlight the photo mats, I have used green cardstock. Only a 1/8 inch edge of green cardstock will be visible all around the photo mats. The photos were prints on photo paper.

To embellish the layout I have used the beautiful Chipboard Wild Animals. This chipboard pieces were coloured using Fabrica Acrylic Colours. They were adhered to the layout using the silicon liquid glue.
