Heart and Home die cut ephemera

Hi CVS friends, today I am sharing my first layout using the beautiful new collection Heart and Home. I am loving the autumn/fall vibes, so I found some photos of my youngest and I taken in fall with the colours matching perfectly!

Both my chosen cut files, leaves and The Perfect Day, are both from the Silhouette design store. I wanted to create a fall themed background and this leaves cut file is great as its not too ‘busy’ and to ensure some white space remained I only paper pieced some of them. I used the A5 paper pad blue hearts paper for my leaves. I used the Framed paper, wood grain side to cut my large title. I then paper pieced it using Golden Fields paper which has the smaller floral design. I did use foam tape on the large title to add dimension.

I next added two torn paper strips to the top and bottom of my page, using the yellow side of the Gather paper and Leaf Litter paper green side for the bottom strip. In doing this it ties all the elements together. I next added my photos, using a 3×4 inch photo to go under the phrase title and using one of the cute die cut ephemera frames above the phrase title which measures 2×3 inches. Both were added with foam tape.

I added die cut florals to the bottom photo on each side, tucking them under my photo. I added the wood grain phrase sentiment die cut and finished off by adding two heart puffy stickers and a heart tab from the Accessory Sticker sheet. As the top photo frame already had florals I simply added two heart puffy stickers.

I then set about adding finishing touches! I fussy cut some butterflies from the paper in the A5 paper pad and added around my page. I created two small embellishing clusters at the top and bottom torn paper strips. As this page had a lot going on I was careful not to over do the embellishments, sometimes less is more!!!!!

It was great to NOT have to convert my photos to black and white so they match a collection, warm toned photos match perfectly.

Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing what you all create with Heart and Home!
