Dream Door Collection - Wooden Sign Decor

Hello there crafty friends!  It's Amanda here and today I'm sharing with you this beautiful wooden sign decor that I made using the newly released Dream Door Collection Kit!

Keep scrolling to see the process photos.  A list of all products are at the very end of the post!






I am starting with a blank wooden sign from Darice:




I am using the Dream Door Collection Kit and trimming down pieces to fit each rectangle.



On the top rectangle, I'm using a pencil to mark the hole locations.

I'm using my 1/4" Hand Punch to cut the circles.

I am using liquid glue to adhere the paper to the sign.

I'm using the Carte Postal stencil and some embossing paste to create texture on each of the rectangles.


I am cutting off the existing twine and adding my own blue twine to match the paper collection.



Now, I'm going to start fussy cutting and die cutting out some elements to put on the decor.
I'm grabbing the LOVE sentiment from the Kissing Boy & Girl die set.


Next, I'm using the Tropical Swirls dies.


I'm also doing a few of the Foliage & Leaves #8 dies.


I'm also fussy cutting/tearing some of the motif sheets from the Kit.


Another die - Foliage and Leaves #13.


And one more... Foliage and Leaves #3!

I'm also going to make a few flowers!  I am using the Soft Floral Oriental Paper and the Curved Flower dies.













Now I'm ready to start adhering everything.  I am using 3D foam squares, liquid glue, and my hot glue gun.







Here are a few more photos of the finished project!  For a complete list of products used, keep scrolling to the bottom!

Whimsical Birdhouse

Hey crafty friends!  I hope you are all happy and healthy and getting your papercrafting fun on!  I have had so much free time lately that I was able to put this lovely birdhouse together!  I had such a fun time making it!  I hope it inspires you!!



I started with a blank wooden birdhouse that you can find here.

Darice Unfinished Natural Wood Decorative Birdhouse – Light Wood, Manhattan Style – Great for Holiday and Home Décor Projects – Decorate with Paint, Tiles, Decoupage and More – 12” Tall (1 Piece)

I sprayed my birdhouse with some Distress Spray.  It didn't take very well and it turned it an ugly green color!  In the end, though, you can't tell!  
Using the Whimsical Hues Collection Kit, I began to cover my walls with paper.  This was time consuming as the birdhouse wasn't perfectly assembled and had some irregular nooks and crannies, but I just kept cutting pieces and making them fit!


I made a whole bunch of flowers using the Soft Floral Oriental Paper and Dress My Craft Flower Making Dies.  (Scroll to the bottom to see all the products used for this project!)
To see a video tutorial I created on making flowers, click here.


To make the different roofs and awnings, I used a Scalloped Border Punch, the Flower Chain Border Punch, and the Window and Pocket Die.










I added sequins to all of my arches.  I used the Princess Mix and the Pink Pastel mixes.















Here are all the products I used to create this gorgeous birdhouse:
