It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas!

 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  Do you sing the Christmas carol when you read that?  I do.  That is the theme this week over at The Paper Players and I just had to play along.

I realized I hadn't shared my cards that I made for my Coming Home Card Class To-Go and this one is perfect for this challenge.

The Coming Home Bundle is a really great one to have in your stash.  When I first saw it, I thought meh.  I just wasn't sure.  but I have to tell you it is my most used bundle of the Christmas season.

for this card, I used only the dies and I love how it turned out.

I used the Designer Series Paper to help me decide on the colours to use.  Old Olive, Pool Party, Early Espresso, Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz.

Be sure to stop over at The Paper Players to see all of the Christmas creations.

Coming Home Alternative Card

Hey there!

It has been the perfect fall weather here in Ontario Canada!  We have the most beautiful fall colours on our trees and the rain is happening while we sleep.  Fall is one of my favourite times of year.

Today I am sharing an alternative use for the Coming Home bundle.  Do you have this yet?  My last post was a blog hop using this bundle and this month, the Creative Stampers Tutorial Group has 7 additional tutorials for this bundle!  It is a must have, in my opinion.  

With this card, I decided to join the fun over at Freshly Made Sketches.  They have an amazing sketch to play along with this week.  

Fun right?!

Here is my card

I just love how it turned out.  I used a couple of my other favourite dies on this card, the Playful Alphabet Dies and the Peony Dies for the scalloped Seaside Spray DSP layer.

One suggestion I would have for anyone using the Playful Alphabet Dies...if you want the popped up be sure to have Foam Adhesive Sheets - I spent waay too much time cutting mini dimensionals on these. LOL

Be sure to hop on over to see all of the projects made using this sketch and skip back to my previous post here and see all the super fun projects made with the Coming Home Suite!  When you place an order with me, you get the tutorial for free!

Happy Stampin'

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'
