Happy World Cardmaking Day to all my crafty friends around the world. I’m going to celebrate by making cards today and – most importantly – getting them out in the mail. xxxx

Happy stamping,

Hi friends! I’m back today to share some of those extra “Home Sweet Home bundle” creations I mentioned recently.

This is such a cute bundle by Stampin’ Up!, and I love all the extra details that make this coordinating stamp set and framelits such good value.

 

For these houses I paired the framelits with the Serene Scenery patterned papers. Something a bit different!

I actually love how they turned out… It was exactly as I’d hoped.

I really REALLY love this Serene Scenery paper stack.

In fact, I’m holding a class this weekend and we are using this paper stack to create our cards! It’s also World Cardmaking Day on the 1st of October… which just happens to be Grand Final Day for our footy league here in Victoria, Australia. But that won’t stop us! We are just having our class in the morning so we are free to watch the big game in the afternoon.

I love how the photo-realistic prints make awesome roof coverings.

 

So there you have it, just a couple more houses.

Don’t forget to check back on the 1st of October. We have some great specials to announce, in celebration of World Cardmaking Day!

Until then….

 

Happy stamping,

 

 

 

 

I’m SO excited about this week’s theme! The brief was “CASE your favourite holiday catalogue 3D item”.

Oh. my. goodness. Where do you start? There are sooooo many lovely 3D projects to choose from.

But in the end there could be only one. The item that made me gasp with excitement when I saw it the very first time I look at this catty:

 

Seriously how adorable is that little Welcome house made with the Home Sweet Home bundle of stamp sets and thinlit dies. I love the gingerbread one too, but oh I just couldn’t wait to recreate this one with the ‘weatherboards’ and cute little windows.

Mine is super simple, but I played around with a few different versions of roofing and thought I’d share them with you today.

 

 

You need 5 or 6 rows of die cut ’tiles’ for each side, or you can you use cardstock trimmed to 5.2cm wide or trimmed to the shape of the roof line.

 

 

If you have a bit of trouble getting a nice and neat join where the roof tiles meet in the middle, then try trimming a 2cm x 5.2cm piece of cardstock which is scored in the middle and fit it over the join.

Also, a teeny tiny pearl from the Rhinestone makes a lovely door handle.

 

 

The Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate is also an effective roof material.

Tip: Don’t forget to first remove the thin protective film when using these acetate sheets.

 

 

Another option is embossing a cardstock panel and layering it over the roof line. Play around with different embossing folders and sponging effects to see what you come up with!

 

This house was so cute I couldn’t just stop at one!

In fact I made a whole series of them which I’ll be sharing in the days ahead. But for now, let’s continue on with the CTC Blog Hop and see what the lovely Liz has for us today.

 

              

Thanks for stopping by today.
