OVER THE RAINBOW FRAMES | with Tarrah

Even though St. Patrick's Day has been and gone, that doesn't mean I can't share some super cute home décor items I created using the gorgeous Over the Rainbow collection!

I decided to decorate a cute glass jar and some small photo frames I had in my home. It was so fun to create little scenes in the frames! These cute decorations have really brightened up my home over the last few weeks and I love how they turned out!

The first frame I decorated measures 6' x 6' so I simply took a piece of patterned paper from the 6' x 6' paper pad and added it to the backing of the frame. I then built up the scene using mostly die-cuts. I popped up the wishing well, the banner title and the clover border with foam tape. Once these were all adhered, I added some smaller embellishments like tiny heart stickers to the edge of the well and also some flower details at the base of the well. I also included one of the rainbow puffy stickers above the title too.

The glass jar was a perfect gift for a good friend, I filled it with some chocolate gold coins - yum! To decorate the jar, I was able to take the round die-cut with the title of 'My Lucky Charm' and adhered it to the top of the lid. It was the perfect size to fit the lid! I tied some black twine around the top of the jar and added the green clover tag, I layered over one of the stickers using foam tape and added a small sprinkle for some more detail on the clover. For the front and back of the jar, I took my 2 inch circle punch and punched out 2 circles from the clover paper in the 6' x 6' paper pad and adhered these. On the front one, I added the rainbow die-cut and love the pop of color!

For the smaller frame, I took the clover paper again and trimmed it down to 4' x 4' and adhered this to the backing of the frame. I then adhered the cute mushroom die-cut using foam tape and layered over the Happy St Patrick's Day title banner. I also added the clover die-cuts using foam tape and added a Sprinkle to each of the clovers, again to add some more detail.

Creating doesn't have to be complicated or time consuming! Creating some simple, cute pieces to decorate your home with is a great way to use your products and imagine the comments you would get if you gave the glass jar gift to a friend?! Super cute! Happy creating everyone!
