New Home

This card was made using my new city dies.  The buildings were coloured with Copics.  The card blank was embossed with my diagonal stripes embossing folder.  The heart was cut using my tiny heart punch.

New Home

I needed two new home cards, so I decided to do the same design but in different colours.
The card blank front was die cut using Sizzix die #660845 Card, Diorama gatefold (Thinlits Plus) and the white centre circle was cut using the Circles Sizzix Framelits die #657551.  The bird house was cut from white card using a Marianne Design Collectables die – bird house #COL1308.  I coloured both die cuts using Copics and Promarkers to get the best colour match to the card blank.  The greeting was computer generated and cut using Sizzix Framelits Banners, Fancy #658601

New Home

An unusual new home card.
I embossed the door on a white postcard, using the Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing folder Door & Wreath Set (#658430).  I trimmed this to size and added a large black brad for a door handle.  I then glued this to a pearly cream card blank.
Being extremely careful, I cut along the edge and top of the door and scored along the other edge of the door, so that the door opened.  I then glued the card blank together, excluding the door.  The “new home” was cut from gauze paper using  a Joy Crafts die – alphabet & numbers (#6002/0139)

New Home

How exciting is it to leave home and move into your own place?  Another occasion where a special card is needed – as you (should) know by now, I couldn’t let this opportunity pass to make a card.

Once again, I started with a pearly white card blank.  This was embossed using my “Crafts Too” hearts embossing folder.  Using my Dutch house die (sorry, can’t remember where this one came from) I cut a house from white card.  This was mounted on a piece of blue card and trimmed.  The details to the shutters and roof were done with fine liners and the heart was cut from Sizzix self adhesive card stock (smallest heart Sizzix doodle love 38-9625).  The key was cut from silver card (Sizzix Bigz Heart Locket 655376).
