Well, I wish I had seen this card a month or so ago. It's a super simple and quick card to make. I am pretty sure this set will be retiring and of course there will be something else I will like in the new stuff, so... But I think I may make a few so I have some extra on hand for those last minute cards. This year I did not make enough cards so I ended up sending out store bought ones! *gasps* Yes, you read that right!!! It will probably take me longer to type how to make it than it did to make it. You can see the original here. I did change it a little.
The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Poppy Parade. I was going to use Real Red but I had more Poppy Parade than the Real Red, so I went with that.
The Whisper White layer on the top was cut 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".
I stamped the house on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock. The house is from the "Hearts Come Home" set. I used Poppy Parade ink to stamp it. I used the 1-1/8" square punch to punch it out. I used the 1-1/4" square punch for the Poppy Parade layer. I cut that layer from the 4" x 5-1/4" layer. No one will see there's a square punched in the layer.
I taped the house layers together and taped them to the card front. I needed to see where I wanted the words to go. The words are from the "Hearts Come Home" set. I stamped them using Basic Gray ink. I didn't want to use black because I thought it would really pop and I want the focal point to be the reds.
The snowflake is from the "Snow is Glistening" set. The original card had a tiny heart stamped there but I didn't have one. Well, maybe I do but it would take a lot of digging in the retired sets to find it. I stamped that snowflake using Poppy Parade ink.
I taped the layers together and the card was done.
Such a quick and sweet looking card!
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
