Gorgeous projects by everyone! How can you pick a favorite?!
I love creating holiday themed shadow boxes to display on my mantel. I loved the grapevine wreath that Susan did a video on and plan to recreate it for fall and Thanksgiving. I will display it in a shadow box frame that I purchase from Michaels . Halloween scenes are also great to make. Loved all the design team creations. My favorite was the lanterns using the grapevine wreath and flowers .
Love the lanterns decorated and also the “notice” board (forgot about doing something like that)…..
Thanks for the shares
Just moved into a new house and will be making some multi-media pieces to fill in the big walls.
I don’t make many home decor projects but from the look of these I probably should try! The lanterns are really pretty and those flowers are all beautiful!
Each one design is so creative, Hats off to your designer creativity, so inspirational!

I like to make table runners for the different seasons.
I like making wreaths and party decor. Also love adding flowers to gift items also. Susan’s Garden collection has unlimited possibilities!
As always , all the DT pieces are beautiful and inspirational! I have always made real and silk flower arrangements and ceramic flowers for home decor. I was thrilled to find Susan’s entire Garden! I had been making cards for a while when I first found the Elizabeth Craft Designs website. I have since made framed floral pieces from the dies mixing paper quilling in with her flowers. The flower combinations from Angela and Anita are so lovely !
I like to make holiday decorations for my door!
I like to make candle rings to be used for special events.
I like doing up picture frames. But i now want to try something else along the lines of a board for posting notes, appointments etc.
I make a lot of cards, but home decor seems to elude me! Mason jars are the most I decorate 🙂
I may create a lot of cards, but home decor eludes me! So, easy is better – mason jars are probably the one thing I use the most.
I like to create party decor. I really had fun when I make a cute paper straw wreath!
I like to make floral arrangements – preferably with flowers I grow in my garden
Thanks for all the great ideas for home decor. It is so nice to have ways to use the dies for more than just cards and scrapbooking (though of course those are fun to make too)
Great Décor items. Hard to believe the flowers aren’t real.
I like to make framed wall decor including decorating canvas that I cover with fabric and embellish. My favorite of all the designs is the beautiful framed BeUtiful Autumn creation by Selma Stevenson. I think I’ll try something similar myself.
I love to create floral arrangements and decorations for my mantel. The DT is so creative. Thanks for all the ideas.

My favorite home decor items to create are holiday decorations! Anything from framed scenes to wall hangings or banners. I also love to make table decorations for the holidays. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’ve made bulletin boards for my two girl’s rooms and always like making decorations for displays and events. I really love that decorated frame and the card. I’ve never used flower dies but these are so realistic and beautiful!
I love making floral arrangements. I have a beautiful one on may kitchen table and one on my dinning room table. I have also given several small ones away to people who were ill.
Love all the inspirational home decor.
I enjoy using my watercolors and stamps to make shadow boxes and I change the theme with the seasons.
I have just started working with multi media so I am going to make some decorative boxes…wish me luck ?
I love to change my fireplace cover for the different seasons. I have a fireplace that when not in use I cover with a screen. I decorate the screen according to the seasons
Very inspirational, great examples.
I like to make clowns, skating mice and little bears in a special technique so they can stand by themselves. They stand in a glass cabinet. I have made lots of decorations for the garden when I still lived in Holland from chicken wire and moss, that kind of stuff. But my main thing is working with paper and most of my time I spend on making cards.
I like to create party decorations that can also be used later on, as home decor pieces. I’ve made decorations for my granddaughter’s parties and rooms, and love making holiday and party banners. Most of my crafting is card making, but I like using my supplies for just about anything
I love the picture frame.
I have made many door wreaths with paper flowers.
I like to decorate cards with the roses.
I’m very much a colorist, so I color and display my art work and some of the special cards that I have made.
I have two favorites: a wreath for my front door entryway, 1 for every season and holiday, AND I create a different table centerpiece every year for my holiday dinner with family and friends.
Flower arrangements either silk or real from the garden. Beautiful fall décor! Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful projects!! I just started with making flowers, and hope to become good enough to add them to wreaths which I make for every season!
I think the candles decorated with beautiful hand made flowers (the battery kind). Also the frames with hand made flowers around the frame are beautiful. A vase of handmade flowers.
Love the decorations. I only decorate for the Christmas season, Love the lantern as that could be used for all seasons’
Garlands and banners for all different events
To be honest I really don’t make anything for my house. I do mess around with flowers & greens to add my shelf and such. But they are sliks that I’ve bought. I did stamp on matting that I use in picture frames but I did those when I first started stamping and I look at them now and I need to get rid of them and do something else because I am embarrassed of how ugly they are. LOL
What a gorgeous decorations, thanks designers for the time and effort. I love the homedecorations Frame from Selma and the one from Anita, those are both frames that I would make for my home. I like the idea to make a homedecoration for every season.
Wonderful ideas from the design team. I love to do shabby picture frames, but after seeing the lantern idea I am inspired to decorate a Tim Holtz clock. Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful projects, the flowers look so realistic!
Beautiful creations! I’ve been making cards and like many others, I like to display them. I like to add my personal touches to pictures frames also.
Hi I would like to make something like shalini projects I am in love with this beautiful creation all the DT work is inspirational

I love incorporating my paper crafting into mixed media decor.
Wonderful home decor projects! I am a novice at home decor – I have made a canvas before but you have given me more ideas, thank you! xxx
I have’been learning to ‘grow ‘ Susan’s garden but have only used them on cards. I think I Will be branching out.
Photo frames and Christmas ornaments.
I love anything using florals. I love making wreaths for both outdoor and in. I love to give table setting an old world feel by using some of my family heirlooms. I will set a table with a runner, then add a family tea set, add some flowers, paper, silk or a mix.
I love to make seasonal or special event banners for the community room in the Senior Residence where I live.
I love to create holiday-themed decor and handlettered wall art. 🙂

Beautiful decor items.
I just bought some little
lights to put inside a
bottle with some of
my husband’s wood
carvings to sit on our
coffee table. Will look
lovely!
Carla from Utah
I love to create cards and waterless flower type creations to decorate around my home
I definitely love floral shadow boxes for wall groupings!
I like to make a
floral sampler for each season. I have just purchased the dahlia dies.
WOW such pretty projects. I love to use paper crafts such as photo frames , shadowboxes and birdhouses to decorate my home!
Wall pieces and bookmarks and magnets are the extent of home décor that I’ve created- there are great ideas here, though!
I love to use baskets to decorate, and flowers, especially in seasonal colors, make everything look great!
Because I have a one bedroom apartment with wonderful windows and not much wall space to decorate, I like to display cards I have made. I can change them out frequently and still have a bit of ‘home decor’ that is different. Works for me!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
I love so many it’s hard to choose, I love anything that brightens up a room and makes it feel warm and cozy. Flowers always do that!
Wow! Love all the projects. I would use Susan’s Garden dies to make decorations for Thanksgiving. I am hosting my family this year. Would love to try the lantern first. Thanks Spellbinders for the inspiration.
I love to make mixed media projects that are frameable. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I love Fall! It’s my favorite season. I tend to go overboard decorating since I
Love the colors of fall. My favorite
Thing is to decorate with wreaths.
Brenda Patterson
My favorite home decor has got to be shadow box displays. I’ve made quite a few for friends that they have them displayed in their homes.
Wow, these are all beautiful! I love the realistic look of the flowers. I make a variety of home items to display, including 3D cards and jewelry/pins, but my favorite are wreaths. For one wreath, I made metal leaves out of aluminum cans (after cutting, flattening, and hand-embossing them) and colored them with alcohol inks in fall colors. I hang it up every year, and people are always surprised to find out the metal leaves are re-purposed aluminum cans!
All the decor is wonderful. Love the lantern as it is something that could be re-decorated for the seasons. I don’t decorate much during the year other then Christmas time. This lantern with Christmas flowers would be nice.
I just discovered Elizabeth Crafts at a Scrapbook Expo in Ca. this year. Must say I am in love with many of their products and so happy to try some NEW things. As for decorating in my home I love country and farm related things, especially to be able to incorporate actual heirlooms from family members.
My favorite home décor items to make are picture frames, but I also like coaster sets and Christmas ornaments. I think the ideas shown are gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration. P.S. I am crazy about Elizabeth Craft glitter dots. They really give some shine without bulk on the greeting cards I make.
I really like to decorate frames. I’d like to try the lantern – very nice. All the projects were lovely.
I like to create lanterns and picture frames for DYI Home Decor Projects for my home I also like to create floral arrangements.
I am a scrapbooker and card maker. When making décor for my home I like to do photo frames.
Picture frames are my favorite thing!! I love to make them and give them as special gifts. Decorating them gives me a chance to revisit my relationship for the person I am creating it for and finding that special picture is priceless.
I like to create lanterns and picture frames for DYI Home Decor Projects for my home. I also like to create floral arrangements.
My sister recently moved into a new home. She asked if I would make her several 3D panels, using Susan’s Garden Notes flowers, that she could frame and hang. So far, I’ve made two 5 x 7 panels (Dahlia’s and Rose 2). I am currently working on a Hydrangea panel. All of Susan’s Garden Notes are beautiful!
I love to create things with wood and flowers for my home décor. Especially if you can find an aged or unique piece of wood. I also love to make wreaths with beautiful flowers and foliage.
My handmade decor centres around Christmas time. I make table top Parchment Christmas trees, wine glass lampshades, Christmas crackers and Christmas light shades
Lovely projects. Right now I’m making rugs but my favorite home décor is table décor . These flowers would make beautiful additions to any floral arrangement.
Lovely pieces of home decor. I do mostly table center pieces, to reflect the season/holiday.
I love to make layouts that go in a frame, quilts and wreaths. I make more cards and scrapbooks ! Thanks
I make paper flowers and put in a vase for my dining room table. I change them up throughout the year for different occasions. Have some decorator rocks in the base.
Candles and tall candlesticks add so much class. You can decorate them so easily with flowers, leaves and fruits.
I love decorating for the Christmas season, my favorite time of the year.
I like to create special occasion banners for my home. I also like to do subway art for the entrance way. I used to change it out monthly. Now that my children are in university, I haven’t done that very often.
Thanks for the chance to win awesome blog candy!
I love to decorate my front door and above my fireplace. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I do decorate for all of the fall holidays.
Beautiful projects!! I would love to create a lantern – I even have bought one of the similar lanterns from Ikea!
I love making wreaths of all kinds.
They are all beautiful and I wish I could have all of Susan’s dies.
The projects came out nice. A luminary would also be a nice touch too to attempt with some of these flowers and leaves.
I would love to use many different ones but don’t have any
I love to create many things for use as home decor, patch work quilts, cut flower arrangements, paintings and 3D pictures like Susan’s Garden ones. My daughter makes macrame wall hangings and I am hoping once my flowers from Susan’s Garden collection are perfected that she will use my paper flowers rather than silk ones to decorate her handmade wall hangings.
Beautiful examples of home decor. I haven’t made too much home decor but I do like to decorate my doors.
Awesome DT creations! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
I love creating and decorating jewelry boxes and vases, as part of home decor 🙂
