Being a work at home mom has SO many perks! I don’t miss any of the kids milestones and I get to kiss every boo boo my babies get. It’s the best of both worlds, but I do have to maintain a certain environment in order for me to get up and get myself ready for the combo of being a work at home mom. Besides keeping my work area (that is shared with the boys) organized, I like to surround myself with pretty things that make me happy and motivate me at the same time. These glittery and beautiful PAPYRUS Taylor Swift – inspired cards are perfect to inspire me to live loud and live beautifully. It also inspired this how to create a small gallery wall!
This gorgeous brand new line of 44 cards (each one are numbered and can be collector’s item for fans) are sold exclusively at Target and are perfect to send to friends or family for birthdays as a thank you card or to frame (like I did below)! I figured since I love Taylor Swift and that whenever I play her music to Olivia immediately gets excited, this would be an easy way to add that girly touch to my office. The messages that these cards send is what makes them so perfect for a gallery wall or just to put on a night stand.
I decided to go with the XO PAPYRUS greeting card to send to my close friend on her birthday (it was so pretty I also got one for myself). For me, I got the card with the girl with headphones on because it’s so me when I’m writing. The Smile card because sometimes I just need that reminder and Fabulous because that’s exactly how I want everyone to feel when they’re in this space. I can’t get over how pretty these greeting cards look and how detailed each and every one of them are. Below is an easy step by step to create a small gallery wall.
Gallery Wall:
What you’ll need:
Frames in a variety of sizes and preferably design
PAPYRUS Taylor Swift Inspired greeting cards
Spray paint in colors of your liking.
Adhesive spray
Glitter
Adhesive hangers
Stock paper if you’re using frames larger than the cards.
Double sided tape
How To:
If you don’t want to use the frames in the colors you have, simply spray paint them in the colors you like. Just make sure to keep the colors cohesive. I went with black, white, and silver, then I made another one with glitter (just spray paint frame with adhesive glue and pile on the glitter). Another great option is the white with nude colored wood.
If you’re using extra large frames, trim your card stock to size and tape on the card using double sided tape. **Keep tape loose so you can easily maneuver it.
Place in frame.
Start by hanging the largest frame and then the smallest frame about 2 inches lower **Leave about 2 inches between frames.
Next – beneath the large frame hang a small horizontal frame. **Make sure you leave them about 2 inches apart as well.
Now hang the next large frame. I kept all the frames square but this is the spot where you can get creative and add a round mirror or two small square frames. Keep in mind that the idea is to keep them equally spaced apart so that they fill up the space neatly and not look over crowded.
There you have it! A small space gallery wall using PAPYRUS TAYLOR SWIFT – INSPIRED cards. Stock up and try this in your work space, a girly girls room or even a dressing room.

This is great! I recently moved to my new place in March. Unfortunately the walls are plaster and very hard to get nails into. Even those special ones with the hooks to hold the picture. I’m learning the joys of command strips. I love having decorations at home and at work. May have to consider stealing this idea for my cubicle at work! Thanks for sharing!

What a fun way to fill up a blank space on your wall. My bedroom walls are blank and I might have to do this with some of my favorite cards. It would add color and be easy to swap out if I ever wanted.

I love this! I always enjoy having inspiration hanging on my wall. I’ve never gotten truly creative with it though. This offered some great suggestions I will have to try!

I love how this turned out! I’m terrible at picking wall art. Using these prints is a great idea.
Being a work from home mom does have its perks for sure.
