Card of the Day - Home Sweet New Home!

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card(s) are for some church friends who are moving into new homes -- one locally and one to another state.

Both cards are the same design, but I have colored the houses with Stampin' Blends to try and match the new homes. The houses in the background were stamped in Smoky Slate and the colored pieces were stamped in Gray Granite. 

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Another New Home!

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a relative who recently moved. I like trying to make something that looks like the actual house.

The Coming Home stamp set and coordinating Home Together dies are my favorites for making these types of cards. For this card, I used the Layering Circles dies to make a mask so I could blend the background and sun. The Blending Brushes were the perfect tool for this technique!

Stampin' Blends were used to color the house die cuts to match the actual new home.

This design was inspired by the sketch at Sunday Stamps Challenges.

Card of the Day - Happy New Home!

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a friend who has just moved into a brand new, built-just-for-her home. 

The Coming Home stamp set was perfect for this card. It has several house fronts that you can mix and match. These two pieces almost perfectly match my friend's new home! I colored them before I drove by today and saw that her door is white - oh well! There's also no landscaping yet, but maybe someday she'll have a tree like this too!

For the inside, I used the house piece that wasn't needed for the front, plus an additional tree.

 This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. I recently discovered this challenge blog, so I'll be adding it to the list of places I like to play along.
