Cricut Explore Gallery Wall

I now interrupt your regularly scheduled National Letter Writing Month projects to bring you a little prettiness for your walls.

For years, I’ve actively avoided doing any “gallery wall” projects because they just seemed to fussy and way too expensive! All those pricey frames and all those prints. No thanks. Well – turns out that when you do gallery walls the Damask Love way, you end up with something like this or something like today’s project. Both projects can be done with cheap-o ingredients…and I love “cheap-o”!!! Cheap-o means I have more money for important things…like these summer wedges that I am obsessing over.

Today’s Cricut Explore gallery wall is created with craft supplies and cheap frames from Ikea. That’s it. No fancy art prints. No sculptures. Nothing overly fancy – but it is decidedly fantastic. Let’s go on a little tour of how I assembled this little gallery wall.

Gallery Walls can be intimidating, which is why I've avoided them until recently. Create your very own colorful Cricut Explore Gallery Wall with just a few cheap frames and some simple craft supplies.

This Cricut Explore gallery wall is assembled with five new Design Space projects that I created using some of my favorite Cricut Access images. As long as you have the Cricut Access membership, you can make this whole project without any additional costs. Okay – commercial over. Let’s talk about how I made everything here.

#boss Dimensional Wall Art

It looks super official but it’s chipboard, glue and paint. That’s it! Don’t you love it. I stock up on chipboard for projects like this. If you stack layers of chipboard and glue them together, you get an amazing piece of dimensional art that looks like wood. Because this particular piece of wall art is oversized and too big for my 12×12 sheets of chipboard, I designed a puzzle-like file that is easy to assemble.

This project is a great example of how you can customize your own projects in Design Space. I actually came across THIS design by one of Cricut’s talented designers, Kaytee. I used her scripty phrase to create my own summery wall art.

    what is chipboard? is it anything like pressboard,
    Which is sort of shredded wood made into a pulp and pressed into a shape.
