Easy + Trendy Way to Decorate Frames! Not a Card with Nina-Marie
Hello there friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Today I am going to show you how you can take simple frames that you probably already own and refresh them to create trendy home decor pieces!
I’m using a combination of Prima H20 Transfers and Moulds to make the decorative accents that adorn my frames. You can pick the colors and designs that you choose to match your own style. I chose a lot of blue colors and I added floral mould designs to each of my frames.
When choosing which frames to refresh, keep in mind that the flatter the surface, the easier your application of decorative accents will adhere.
Want to learn more about how I refreshed these frames to create a trendy, home decor art piece? Watch the video below for all the details!

Sending Happiness: New Hero Arts!
Hi friends! Happy Monday! Please join me in welcoming special guest Dana Joy with this gorgeous and Summery card design showcasing brand new products from Hero Arts! Read on to learn more and enjoy!
Who’s ready for summer? The newly released Hero Arts Lemonade Day stamp set and bundle make beautiful summer ready cards. Inspiration for my card comes from the refreshing summer taste of pink lemonade! Ahhh such a great summer drink. Growing up I can remember standing on the kitchen stool helping my Mom whip up a pitcher of lemonade. These days (since I’m fully grown), I like to whip up my pink lemonade with a few pours of a nice rum accented with lemons or lime slices and mint.
Summer colors that spoke to me were Hero Arts Peony, Arctic, Dove White and a splash of black. The images on the card were colored using Copic markers and die cut using the coordinating fancy dies. My lemonade needed some sparkle. I know, I know lemonade doesn’t sparkle but when on a card, it shall do just that by using a glitter pen in a few areas. Within the stamp set, there are a few supporting images such as tiny citrus fruit and mint stamps. These images work perfectly to fill in a background on a card panel. A great tip when creating these background designs, keep the color monochromatic by using the same color ink pad and cardstock. This will help it not compete with your main focal point.
Also by placing the colored image onto a white circle lightly blending with ink makes a great landing spot for your main image. By layering that circle onto a nested circle in pink really pulls the colors throughout the card. And don’t forget to pop up a few of those images for dimension. Using a light grey Copic marker under the images will also help ground everything nicely. A simply sentiment under the main image finishes off the card.
Here’s to a summer of cool drinks and days at the beach. I hope I’ve inspired you to mix up your own batch of pink lemonade. Drink responsibly friends. LOL Have a wonderful day everyone.
