Coming Home Blog Hop

Hello everyone!

Today I am participating in a Blog Hop with everyone making a project using the Coming Home Suite.

Do you have this one yet?  It is in the holiday catalogue.  These little houses and street scape images can be used for so many different cards.  Follow me.  You could create the obvious Christmas, Halloween, House Warming, Birthday, Retirement, the list goes on.  Getting them with the coordinating dies will save you 10%

Here is the card I created to share with you today.  

And if you get the bundle, you should also get the Designer Series Paper ;)  It is so stinkin' cute!  This was my starting point in creating my card.  There is a large scene pattern in the DSP pack that I wanted to utilize and a simple fancy fold card allowed me to use it effectively.

The card base I used is 4 1/4 x 11, scoring at 5 1/5 to give a long gate style card.  Then I cut the front of the card in half on the short side.  So when you open the card, you have only a narrow card front.  This allows  you to see more of the DSP.

Here is the inside of my card.  It is a piece from the top of the paper.  I thought that the pattern was light enough you could write your message directly onto it.  

Here is a close look of the front of the card.  I used two stitched rectangles as a base for the images.  They are stamped in Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin' Blends.  The greeting is framed using a die from the Hippo Happiness Dies and the greeting itself is from Itty Bitty Crhstimas.

The front of the cardbase is layered using the bottom of the scene pattern of the DSP.  I finished the card off with a bow.

Be sure to hop on through to see all of the wonderful creations that we made using the Coming Home Suite.

Happy Stampin'

The Creative Stampers August Cozy Critters Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop

Hello there,

So happy you stopped by today.  The Creative Stampers have decided to have a blog hop to share some alternative projects made using the products that are featured in this month's Creative Stampers Tutorial.   This month's theme is Cozy Critters!

As soon as I knew the theme was going to be critters, I knew I had to feature the Hippo Happiness Bundle!  I just LOVE these little critters AND the dies are to die for!  LOL.  It includes 25 dies with some amazing shapes to for many styles of card fronts.  

This card is somewhat of a fancy fold, where I cut the front of the card base in half and added the Scalloped, Stitched Rectangle from the stitched so sweetly dies.

Look how cute this hippo is.  It is a three step stamping and lining it up can be tricky, but using your Stamparatus is a helpful tool.

The shapes framing the cute little hippo are made using the dies from the Hippo Happiness Dies - love all the layers.  

Don't forget to stamp the inside of your card.  I think the balloons are such a nice touch.

Be sure you hop on through to to see an extra project made by each of our designers that you could make using the products in our tutorial this month!

Here is a sneak peek of my project.  Shhhh.

How do you get the tutorial?  You make a purchase of any amount and the demonstrator that you purchase through will send it to you.  

Happy Stampin'
