Old houses

Back in 2015 the Sale-A-Bration catalogue released the stamp set You Brighten My Day and I still use this set a lot... mainly for the little house image. Here are some new home card ideas which are quick and simple.

Little houses

A quick card with little houses for a new home. I went with Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White colours, but any combination will work...

New home card in an array of colours

When I returned to the UK in January, I needed to catch up with a number of people who had recently moved house. What better way to wish them well than with a new home card. I couldn't resist making a few of these once I came up with a quick hand-drawn template for the house which I cut out of scraps of DSP.

Here's a close up:

Belated new home card

Wow, what a day... I've been busy catching up with people, getting my car ready for the winter and at the same time also had the first viewing of my house.  Tomorrow is much the same and then I must start packing some boxes.

Here is a quick card made using the Little Additions stamp set (it's a baby themed set) but I've used it for a new home card...

I had to come up with something very quickly this morning before dashing out to deliver it, so I've opted for a Marina Mist base and a background of Pool Party which has been run through the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

The arm chairs and coffee table have been inked and stamped onto Whisper White and then carefully cut out (ok, so this wasn't a quick task after all!), and I've mounted the chairs using dimensionals to add some depth.  The sentiment is handwritten and punched out with the Word Window punch, and then I've sneaked in a non Stampin' Up! peel off which I stumbled across whilst clearing out my stash as the card just needed something else to liven it up a bit!

Don't forget I'm selling off some of my non Stampin' Up! craft stash for charity (see details here) this Sunday between 2 and 4pm at my home (GU16) so let me know if you fancy stopping by to pick up a few bargains.

 

Loving the Occasions Alphabet stamp set so much

Perfect for scrapbooking and personalising cards I absolutely love the Occasions Alphabet stamp set and can't get enough of it. 

 

Here's a carc made to congratulate a couple on their new home.  Featuring the cute little cuckoo clock stamp from the Easy Events stamp set, mounted on a Decorative Label punch... 

 

There are of course some lovely little sentiments that goes with the alphabets, which makes them so versatile as there is something for many occasions.

 



New home's

It seems quite a few people I know are moving home or have moved recently.  Tonight I'm going to a long over due house warming dinner party with friends.  So of course I had to make a card, in fact I have had to make three New Home cards in the last couple of weeks, so I went with similar designs but in different colours and with a slight twist on each...

I hope Marie and Matt are very happy in their new place... looking forward to seeing it later.

You will see that I have used Marina Mist for the base and co-ordinated the lettering cut with the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies.  I've attached these to the background panel, created from Very Vanilla card stock run through the Square Lattice embossing folder.  And then of course the little cuckoo that comes from the Easy Events stamp set that I have cut out and coloured with blender pens and then adhered to the base with dimensional sticky pads.

Next up is a card I made for a friend at work... she hasn't moved in officially yet but the purchase completed last week so hopefully there is a mantle piece or suitable worktop for the card to go on soon x.

For this card I have used Perfect Plum for the base and lettering and then stamped the cuckoo image directly onto the Shimmery White card stock that I have used in background.  I've coloured the image with blender pens in the same way as the other card, but the shimmery card creates a lovely effect.  Notice the corners of the panel have been punched out with a petal from one of the Boho Blossoms punch flowers and I've added some Basic Rhinestones to finish.

Then finally, a card for my cousin and his wife.  They haven't actually moved yet either and my Aunt/Uncle are helping them out with the move over the bank holiday weekend... but they have the keys!

I've changed the background panel by using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and then added some Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, and in stead of the cuckoo... the little bird in it's cage, from from the Every Little Bit stamp set.
