Domestic Bliss - Simple Stories

Hello blogging friends!

I am back today with some Simple Stories Domestic Bliss inspiration. This is such a fun collection for your everyday photos around the house. The tongue in cheek humor will make you laugh, guaranteed! The pattern papers are gorgeous with colors perfect for Spring paper crafting too.

For my first layout, I wanted to scrap a family photo with the 4x6 journal card with a house and the quote "Love my home, love the people there". I thought it would be fun to mimic one of the pattern papers with pie charts and create my own super-sized pie chart. I sized one of the openings to fit the journal card, then backed the other spaces with different pattern papers. Here is how it turned out...

I embellished with a Bits & Pieces die cut house, sofa, lamp, and picture frame to reinforce the home theme. I then added some chipboard flowers and enamel dots for dimension.

This collection has some wonderful Decorative Brads and Epoxy Metal Clips.

For my title "BLISS", I used some stickers from the 4x6 Sticker Sheets. You can also see one of the Domestic Bliss washi tapes just under my photo. Aren't those hearts just perfect!

I also made a couple of box cards using the World's Best Mom cut file from SVGcuts. These are so fun. I love that they can be used as decor pieces too and give joy to the recipient for many days.

Wouldn't this make a great housewarming card! I used stickers from the 4x6 sticker sheets for my sentiment on the back of the card. This floral pattern paper is one of my favorites. I love those dainty flowers.

and check out that Decorative Brads alarm clock ... it makes the perfect stove timer, lol. Enamel dots are used for the burner dials on the front of my stove.

Here is what the card looks like from a top down view...

Box cards are a bit addicting, so of course I made a second one, For this box card, I created this wonderful teapot, This one showcases another gorgeous floral pattern paper combined with the pink dotted pattern paper. Chipboard sticker flowers and buttons are combined with a flower sticker and sentiment.

On the back side of the teapot I used a pretty vase of flowers and a "Mom Rules" sticker.

Here is another view so you can see the dimension. A gift card would fit perfectly taped on the inside.

The Domestic Bliss collection is a must in my book and one of my favorites from CHA. Be sure to check it out.

Imaginisce cards

Hello blogging friends. I have a couple of Imaginisce cards to share today. I love the Little Princess collection for making cute girly cards. This one uses a Lori Whitlock cut file.

I took the "It's a Fairytale" die-cut and removed the adhesive so I could mount it over the card opening. Here is what it looks like on the inside.

Having college kids means that they are moving a lot. Both my son and daughter have new digs and new roommates now for the upcoming school year. This card ( created with the Imaginisce Outdoor Adventure papers ) with a little housewarming gift came in handy. I used a Snapdragon Snippets cut file for this card.

Home Is Where the Heart Is - Quick Quotes

Happy Fall blogging friends!

I was definitely reaching for my sweaters this weekend as the temperatures dropped. It got me into a crafty mood. I have a friend that bought a foreclosed house that is a true money pit. They are having a housewarming party so I made them this card.

It's business envelope sized. I was a little concerned about reducing the Silhouette die cut too small. It was made to be cut in vinyl for wall decor. But it is perfect for pairing with a bottle of wine, don't you think?

Quick Quotes supplies:

Cracklin Rose 200

Cherry Truffle 200

Cherry Truffle 300

Powderpuff Ink in Midnight Confessions and Mocha Mama

Other Supplies:

Maya Road flower

Bazzill cardstock

Silhouette studio file, Silhouette Cameo
