Create a realistic looking scene with these fun books and a perfectly stenciled background.
The new 5838d Bookshelf Beauty Dies are fabulous and perfect on a wall with some fun “wallpaper”! Today our designer, Lisa, created this bright and colorful scene that feels like a dream. Who doesn’t want to snuggle down with a good book. If you have a she-cave, we can just imagine one section for crafting, and one section with a big cozy chair and a wall of books. So fun! Follow along as Lisa shows us how to make a bookshelf card with a stenciled wallpaper background.
- I started by blending inks through the 4405 Floral Abstract 6×6 3-Part Stencil. I didn’t worry about covering the whole panel because I knew I’d be adding a wooden chair rail and paneling.
- Then I die cut the 5708-01d Wood Plank Panel Die from white cardstock and trimmed it down.
- Next the chair rail was added. I have to admit I couldn’t find the longest of the 5708-02d Wood Planks Die so I pieced the chair rail together not sure if I’d leave it as two pieces or cover the seam… I’m sure I’ll find the die now that I don’t need it for this project…lol!
- The shelf from the Bookshelf Beauty dies was cut from white cardstock and popped up on the wallpaper and then the books and bookend were assembled from various foiled gel prints and added with a slightly thinner foam tape.
- Finally a sentiment from the 37041 Between The Pages 4×6 Stamp Set and die cut using a die from the 5704D Nested Tags Dies and popped that up over my chair rail seam… problem solved!
