Easy Canada Day Decor

Hi all, Sarah here. Happy Canada Day to our Canadian readers. I’m from the USA, but I married a Canadian 15 years ago and I always try to do something special for him and my daughter on Canada Day. Today I decided to create some really simple framed pieces from journal cards.

I chose this set from Just Jaimee for my project. I resized the journal cards to fit better in the opening that would be left by the frame (slightly larger than 3.25″x2.25″) and printed them out on bright white cardstock.

For the frame I used craft sticks. For each frame I needed two 4″ lengths and two 2.25″ lengths. Since I needed two frames I cut four of each length. I was able to cut these with some heavy duty scissors. A utility knife would have probably worked better since I did experience some splitting, and that may have solved the problem.

Since this is a temporary piece just for today I simply used a strong tape to connect the frame together. I was able to then pull the backing from the tape and use the tape to adhere my journal card to the frame.

Finally I clipped up my Canada Day frames to the clips from my wall art project.

What a fun way to incorporate special days into our decor. Of course, this could be done with journal cards for any special occasion or holiday. I would love to see your take on a project like this. If you create a framed piece for journal cards I would love to see it. Make sure to add it to the Hybrid Projects gallery so everyone can admire your new decor!
