Close To My Heart's Home Sweet Home: Thinking Outside the Frame



As we continue to celebrate the new year with our adorable Home Sweet Home frames, I want to share a few more ideas of how you can use elements of this versatile kit in other crafting projects!!

A top-notch accent or background can be the crowning 
jewel in a scrapbook page, card, or 3-D art piece, and we know you’ll love creating projects of your own with the beautiful pieces from our Home Sweet Home special!!



The Home Sweet Home special features the Home Sweet Home Frame Kit, which includes a wide variety of exclusive patterned papers and die-cuts, along with large wood circles.

These elements are not only beautiful when used to create a Home Sweet Home frame but make charming additions to other projects as well!!


Adding a pre-cut accent or background to a scrapbook page or card is an excellent way to simplify your crafts, while still yielding beautiful results.



As you can see with this gorgeous layout, the inclusion of these vibrant floral die-cuts placed over the corner of a photo add dimension and pops of color, and when paired with other small embellishments, tie the whole thing together with a stylish flourish!!


The Home Sweet Home die-cuts can also be placed partially behind photos to add some flare to your backgrounds.

These sunflower and silver sprig accents are the perfect touch to not only complement the bright colors in the photograph, but also serve to dress up the background of the page.



It doesn’t matter which die-cut shape you decide to use ... each one can produce fantastic results.

Just look at how these rainbow and silver glitter die-cuts are placed over a piece of 
grey polka dot patterned paper for a simple, yet stunning card!!


For this adorable get-well card, the scalloped piece at the center makes a perfect backdrop for the simple sentiment piece and is offset beautifully by the die-cut bow.


To help round out your inclusion of Home Sweet Home pieces in your own cards or layouts, you can include them alongside other embellishments, as you can see with this adorable slimline card.

The cupcake die-cut and silver glitter stars are offset beautifully by the large, iridescent sequins and 
Thin Cuts border at the top!!



Along with the die-cuts, the Home Sweet Home wood circles can also be used in scrapbook layouts.

 While the circles themselves are relatively flat, they can be used to add dimension and blend well into backgrounds, lending additional texture.

Here, you can see how a wood circle has been covered with 
pinstripe patterned paper and offers an ideal platform for the journaling on this page!!

As you can see, there’s a wealth of creative opportunity included in the Home Sweet Home special, far beyond the creation of a Home Sweet Home frame!!

Each piece is full of possibility and can be used to boost the aesthetic of any art project, from scrapbook pages, to cards, to 3-D pieces.

No matter how you choose to repurpose these gorgeous pieces, they’re sure to dazzle wherever they’re placed.
